Now, Dan Wallace wrote this book...but who wrote it with him? The man who CREATED MARKA RAGNOS
Hm. I don't see Dan Wallace on here. I guess he wouldn't have author's insight on this. And we don't know if KJA wrote the Sidious article, since he never did any works with Sidious. So Dan gave you his opinion on a character he didn't create and didn't work with, and because he created a reference guide in cohesion with the original author, you assume that his opinion is the binding one?
I look there...I look to the product nearly a decade later...I see THAT product declares Sidious the most powerful Sith ever...I see the Holocron and LEland Chee who say by its very nature, it's C-canon, on the same level as TOTJ...I see KJA's name on the product, that he co-wrote it....hmm...Do I trust KJA, creator of the Ancient Sith, who went on to show Sidious>His creations? I do
You have a supposed email from someone other than the author of a source material. That's assinine. If Michael Crichton writes a novel and goes on to make a large compilation reference book with Robert Harris, does Robert Harris become the authority on the badassness of Alan Grant or Ian Malcolm? No.
