"Just to clarify, the original Fact Files quote regarding the most powerful Jedi only applied to the old Star Wars continuity during the time-span of the publication (i.e. 2002 to 2005)?"
"As you mentioned, the re-release only applies to characters who predated the series, so I imagine the original version also has the same policy."
Their response:
"That is correct when considering the "Legends" canon."

Are ya'll ****ing serious? They directly confirm above that the quotes in Fact Files only applies up to characters around as of the time of the publication.
I imagine the confusion is coming from "official information," but given the context, that's referring to new stories and characters, not retconning quotes.

Also, even if their final sentence is referring to retconning quotes (it isn't), that doesn't change the fact they still confirmed my original questions and observations, which explicitly stated that quotes only refer to characters who predate the series.
There's literally no getting around it.

The response says that information published afterward takes precedence in terms of accuracy. Meaning if there's something that explicitly contradicts the notion in question that's published afterwards, it takes priority.
That's a textbook retcon. That's always been the case.
The man said what he said and it weren't what you said, and unfortunately we can't be sure he fully understood or even fully read your convoluted question. Maybe ask him again for further clarification.
It means the fact that they agreed with your statements means that every statement and accolade is effectively retconned with each new source/character.

Mace > KotOR Revan (at the very least). The quote itself is
But it's not explicitly Force strength. It could just as well be their combative prowess.
Goddamn; it's like they succeeded in answering the question, but you failed to ascertain whether or not they believe it should apply to Mace and Revan.
