I never said it was the latter. But by saying that Luke and Vader also possess formidable lightsaber skills, that gives us an idea of what they mean. Otherwise its unquantifiable

Yeah. I mentioned this before, but in this instance there would have been no contextual reason to mention Kylo's saber skills in the same breath as those of Luke and Vader, if the intent wasn't to draw *some* sort of comparison between them.
And again: even if Kylo was in the same general tier as Luke/Vader as a swordsman, that doesn't mean he was equal to them.

^ I like that. Its for the fans to debate. And I like all the comics and novels being proper canon now under Disney. Unlike under Lucas.
But I dont like the random quotes they crap out which dont mean anything. Like Vader being the strongest Sith. If they just confirm source books are a supplementary or secondary source, that would make stuff more clear.
The only consistently reliable source book to me seems to be the databank on the official site.
Well I dont think that was ever contradicted. But main Difference is There were levels of canon. So we knew which sources were more reliable when it came to blatant contradictions.
Over here everything is supposed to be equally canon When one source book says Mace is the greatest swordsman, and another one says its Yoda.
Then one quote says Vader is the strongest Sith, then a comic shows hes clearly no match for Palpatine at all.
Seems clear to me the comic takes precedence there, but they should make that official IMO.
^ The SW Book also states that Mace was "second only to Yoda" as a swordsman. So it definitively makes the pecking order clear in multiple entries(ie. Yoda>Mace.) So I personally hold that in higher esteem than the individual blurb from the Lightsaber Guide. /shrug
As for strongest Sith line: that was always questionable from the onset, given that in the original films, Vader was actively trying to recruit Luke for the sole purpose of trying to overthrow Palpatine(which he wouldn't need to do if he was already more powerful)... But yes, the recent comics make it blatantly clear that Palpatine >> Vader as of the ESB era.

Not really imo. Just huge potential in general.
And insiders might not have canon value acording to Matt Martin. He said the insiders are editorial like the blogs and news section on Starwars.com
