The fightscene in the novel isn't canon.
Actually, it is pretty funny. He is fully within his rights as a Mod to do so, and at least it's more amusing than simply asterisk-ing everything.
I find it even funnier that you bypassed the censor once again to complain about him editing your bypassing of the censor.
Oh, and as I remember, novelizations of the films are canon.

I send that right back at you. Does a doctor specialize in all lines of medicine? Does a doctor specialize in ENT work, pediatrics, allergies and asthma, gastroenterology, opthalmology, and a dozen more?
No. Only one.
You get the drift. Don't dodge what I'm saying.
3. to render special or specific; invest with a special character, function, etc.
4. to adapt to special conditions; restrict to specific limits.
5. to restrict payment of (a negotiable instrument) by endorsing over to a specific payee.
6. to specify; particularize.
We are using the verb with an object: mastery of lightsaber forms.
How the *BLEEPING* *BLEEP* *BLA-BLEEEP* *BLEEP* does that not *BLEEPING* refer to what I'm saying?
😛

Right on all three counts. 😊
I'm fully capable of handing you a warning for an attempt to bash me for doing my job. Is that clear, Neb?

To continue, a doctor may have a general understanding of all forms of medicine. This doctor represents Kas'im. Another doctor may specialize in his own form of medicine, say, fitness (my uncle is President Bush's fitness doctor, thus my choice of words is a direct tribute to him). This represents Windu, Dooku, or, because of our current thread, Vader. Which one would be a better fitness doctor?
You get the point.

But out of choice, that would be too much for any docter. However, if the docter wanted to, by defintion, he could speicalise in all of those.

However, by being 'amusing', he's making my arguments lose their meaning. At least if he asterisked, people would still get the drift.

It was on purpose...
Oh, and as I remember, novelizations of the films are canon.
Not the fightscenes.
No, you cannot specialize in more than one thing in the scope of what we're talking about. You may be very good at more than one thing, but you cannot specialize. Specializing, by dictionary definition as Godzilla has showed us by using the link you provided, refers to One. Thing. Just one.
And yes, your arguments DO lose meaning when I alter out your breaking of the rules. Do I care? No. You broke the rules; I should just hand over a bunch of warnings for all the times you've done it, but instead I'm amusing myself.
However, you deliberately insulted me for doing so. Hmm. I think that's a warning, don't you?
And the fight scenes are as canon as the rest of the book. The only thing in the novelizations that are not as canon as the films are scenes that did not occur in the film or dialogue that did not occur or contradicts other dialogue in the film.

Post the definition, and provide an explanation, because you are dead wrong. You can specialise in multiple things, don't be silly. In practise, in our modern day, it proves almost impossible to do so in regards to the examples you provided, but this is SW.

Here, I'll help. Here's the definition:

5. to restrict payment of (a negotiable instrument) by endorsing over to a specific payee.
6. to specify; particularize.
So they are not bound by the rules of normal society? Are their brains 50% larger than ours? I think not, Capitan Planet. And, as for your other argument, gladly.

Also, especially British, spe·cial·ise.
Now, all you good, reasonable people, DO THESE DEFINITIONS NOT EXCLUDE THE SPECIALIZATION OF THE WHOLE CATEGORY? Planet, please give up this argument. A definition isn't a SW book, d@mmit. We are SUPPOSED to infer certain things.
No, they are not direct contradictions. To make it a direct contradiction, the novels would have to change the entire outcome of the battle. That's what would be a direct contradiction.
And no, you cannot specialize in more than one thing. That is said and done, there is no possible way you can bypass that.
Your reasoning is that Jedi can break a dictionary definition. l0lz.
Like I said, you can be very good at a variety of things and specialize in one thing at the same time. You might want to change your reasoning.

Again, post the [b]single definition that applies to whatever you are saying, and provide an explanation. By definition, one can specialise in multiple fields, however, in practise, it is usually just one.
