I'm not talking about before the game was released, you cretin. I'm talking about the fact that the Codex Entry would have been made for the Battle of Ilum so the player could find it during the battle of Ilum. That's how time works. Marr's accolade also isn't valid for several reasons:
1. It could be interpreted in other ways, and should be since it's talking about his political power and administrative abilities
2. The Codex Entries are still in-universe, so they are hardly objective
3. It completely contradicts the Jadus accolade you're trying to throw around



Jadus' statement of being > Marr is a character statement from Valkorion, who quite frankly was just trying to goad the player, and Watcher Two who has no idea what Marr is capable of. Marr himself isn't that impressive other than a vague quote. In fact, these quotes you're giving me are all actually less valid than the Plagueis blurb.

So we're back to square one. You have no basis other than character statements and conjecture, yet you deny more valid and objective statements since it doesn't suit your arbitrary hierarchy.

The official description for C-canon states something along the lines of that applying to things created by the author specifically.

The codex entry likely isn't referring to his political power, and by "abilities" I would assume it means his abilities in the Force and in combat. I don't see any other reason to believe otherwise than the purpose of lowballing TOR characters, like most of this forum does.

And no, it doesn't contradict the Jadus accolade, you yourself said Marr's quote there was made for the Battle of Ilum, which means it took into account the fact that Jadus was gone. And Darth Mortis stating that Nox could give Malgus a hell of a fight, and still being inferior to Marr, keeps Marr right where I want him.

How are these less valid than a non-canon novel blurb? And I"M the one picking and choosing? There's no reason to believe the quotes I've provided aren't valid, again, aside from the purpose of lowballing TOR characters.

C-canon, or Continuity canon: The majority of Expanded Universe stories, including novels, comics, video games, and other content originating from other authors. C-canon material could be elevated to G-canon if a subject appeared in a Lucas project.

Note that it says "other content originating from other authors" meaning the content needs to come from an author to be C-Canon. Considering the blurb is not from an author, it's S-Canon which can "be ignored as desired by authors" and other authors, specifically Bioware in this case, obviously either ignored or were ignorant of the Plagueis blurb when they created Vitiate/Valkorion.

I didn't say Jadus is Plagueis' equal, I said he's between prime Vader and Jadus. Do you need a reading lesson?

Anyways, yeah it's likely political power. The entire Codex Entry explains Marr's sway over the Empire, and his role as a leader primarily. Sure it mentions he's a terrifying warrior, but other than that the entire Codex is Marr's leadership skills.



Nove blurbs are canon unless contradicted by something directly within the universe. Nothing contradicts Plagueis being the most powerful besides the "heerr derr" feats only approach which is retarded.

Anyways, the Codex Entry was made so you can find it on Makeb, thus it was made before the player journies to Makeb. It could have very well been made before the Battle of Ilum and before Jadus' death. Additionally, Darth Mortis' opinion is irrelevant since it's just his opinion. You have the strange habit of taking character statements as if they are canon fact when they're not.

And to top it all off, Valkorion himself believes the protagonist is superior to Marr, so Marr being better than the protag opens up another big ol' can of contradicitions for you. So lets run it down:

Marr ~ Malgus >/ ~ Nox > Jadus > Marr, based on taking everything you said fully into account. There's no way around this; your comparison is just quite frankly sh!t and hinges on character statements that are, either purposefully or accidentally, inaccurate and a Codex Entry that can be interpreted in so many ways. You choose on personal whim to when and how these statements apply and that's just cherry picking.

Who said this? And. Still, the feats that I listed for Plagueis >>> Jadus.

1. Jadus > Vader is bad enough.
2. I didn't said that you said Plagueis = Jadus, but that you have him approaching Plagueis level, which is true.

Do you need reading lessons

This quote could potentially contradict Plagueis' non-canon blurb.

"Revan travels to a very iconic Yavin IV to go to battle and release the actual Emperor, one we thought who was defeated not long ago. The player is pulled into this struggle of two of the most powerful Force users, like ever, in the history of the Old Republic, if not beyond - Revan and the Emperor."

It's listed on wookiepedia as the definition for c-canon. Considering everything on wookiepedia is verified, I assume it to be true, and Syndi used it as a source, which makes it good enough for me.

Jadus>Vader has evidence, and Jadus APPROACHING Plagueis, is not Plagueis level.

Yes, I know what I said, approaching somebody's level isn't the same as being on that level.

1. Are you kidding me? At least I want to know who said that.
Syn can be tricked as well.

2. I am still waiting for evidence that Jadus > Vader.

3. I never said otherwise. But Jadus doesn't comes close to approaching Plagueis, unless your definition of "approaching" is getting stomped, or flat-out dominated.
