I imagine the confusion is coming from "official information," but given the context, that's referring to new stories and characters, not retconning quotes.
Ah; didn't even notice that.

Mace > KotOR Revan (at the very least). The quote itself is
quote:
Alongside Mace Windu, with whom he served on the Jedi Council, Yoda was the most respected and most powerful Master ever to have walked the corridors of the Jedi Temple.


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.

Hm? I ask if it applies only to characters who predated the series, and they confirm.

Hint: Revan did not predate the series. Thus, he's not included.

The "time-span of the publication" is referring to all quotes in general, not a specific instance, so no.

It's not in regards to the specific Windu vs Revan case, so this doesn't mean the Windu quote applies since it's before Revan.

I would say you guys are reaching to levels that make your argument illegitimate from the start, but I think you realize that.

Nah, what you're doing is just as bad, if not worse. For the second time you've tried to weasel this fellow into pressing your agenda, and for the second time he's dodged, albeit in an agreeable way. Probably because he has no more clarity regarding the official rules than us, but I digress.

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.
k, so here's how the "during the time-span of the publication" part makes sense to DarthAnt66: each issue of Fact Files only applies to preexisting sources/characters.

Beniboybling interprets it as asserting "Revan was around during the time of the Fact Files' publication, so the 'most powerful Jedi' quote applies to him."

I honestly don't give a damn about which Jedi is stronger, btw.

Revan wasn't around for the publication of the quote, as you pointed out earlier.

Beni, as always, is wrong, and is reaching beyond usual levels here.

He knows he's wrong too.

Some members assume that older revelations hold precedence over newer material until specified otherwise, that retcons are supposed to be explicit. They simply fail to understand that newer material can create room for debate and set the stage of re-evaluation of older material at official capacity. This is why we get revised or new reference books. However, such books are not coming for (Legends) content now.

So every time a new character showed up in the past LucasArts should've just dropped everything they were doing and make a new sourcebook just to re-establish those accolades? Seems legit.

I wonder how the publisher interpreted it, guess we'll never know.

actually no, ant's right, he asks about characters that "predate" the fact file series. So revan being created during the fact file doesn't change he's included in the quote. Mace does still get scaling from yaddle though

Obviously I'm not going to comment too much on this given my ongoing debate with Ant.

But Ant has gotten a lot better at hiding his leading questions. smile

So the author confirmed you need to take in account the context of books when debating. This is a simple common sense thing most people around here seem to not know based on ignorance or stupidity.

But Sheevites are like: Lmao, no. It doesn't matter if there are quotes about Revan as the strongest Jedi because in-universe Mace and his accolades existed after Revan.

The only even slightly interesting part of this is Ant’s chosen fake name being ‘Gabe’

DarthGabe77 isn't as fashionable as DarthAnt66.
