Why yes. 🙂
Why, no, they aren't. 🙄
Loving the hypocrisy
You love hypocrisy? Perhaps that is the deluded mentality that strove you to become a hypocrite.
I don't dismiss them, I just work around them.
Yeah! Yeah, right, exactly! Of course! Just like you "worked around" Freedon Nadd being the Chosen One, right?
(excerpt taken from "The Woes of Planet: KMC's Jackass Extraordinaire"😉
Planet: "Freidonn Naad is teh Chosen On!1111!!!!!"
Gideon: "No, Planet, he's not."
Planet: "Prove it! Waaa! Prove it! Waa! Before I go cry! Waa!"
Gideon: "Okay... Lucas specifically confirms it on the RotS special feature (located on the DVD) called "The Chosen One" (curious, isn't it?)."
Planet: "No! I do not believe you!"
Gideon: "Erm... okay."
Planet: "You have failed 2 profide prove!111!!!!"
Gideon: "WTF... I just said what the quote was, the source, and specifically where on the DVD..."
Planet: "That's not enuff!!! Haahahaah you havent proved nuthin!!!!11111!"
Rex: "Planet, you're pretty much a dumbass. George Lucas said so. Your opinion means jack shit. So go play with some barbies."
Yeah. Work around them. Sure....
You miss my point. My point was that the system alone didn't ensure that the apprentice killed the master only when they became more powerful. Sidious' example was an example of how that is so.
Again: Sidious may have been more powerful than his master at the time. But you don't seem to understand that.
I disagree. This is SW, so naturally logic doesn't always apply, but the fact that the order survived for so long with so few actual sith lords is very unrealistic.
"This is SW. Logic doesn't always apply."
Yeah, remember this the next time you use your so-called "logical deduction."
Does it have to have been shown to make sense for you Gideon?
It has to be "shown" in order for me to believe it, for the most part. That said...
[PLANET] PROVE IT! WAAA! PROVE IT! [/PLANET]
This is nice and all, but irrelevant.
That one went right over your little head didn't it, little fella? Aww! You look so adorable trying to play the big bad debater.
'Cause if you paid attention, you'd have realized that it is highly relevent. But I understand. Not having an adequete logical defense, you proclaim "irrelevent!" to bits of information you don't like.
Not all sith are craving of knowledge like Sidious.
Yeah... okay. Can you give me a list of Sith Lords who don't seek information? Perhaps not on Sidious's galactic -kill-everybody-and-conquer-the-galaxy-wide level of thirst, but all Sith seem to want power and knowledge.
A Darth Maul like apprentice likely wouldn't care.
Maul was rare, he had zero ambition. Make me a list of apprentices, like Maul, who had absolutely no desire to overthrow their master.
By RotS, specifically, which is absurd. Again, Vor'en Naal's opinion is fallible, no better than mine or your's.
Vor'en Naal is a historian. His opinion is fallible, but it is supported by the simple fact that he is a historian, and the head of a league of historians with galactic-wide resources. The mere fact that he had intimate knowledge of all Sidious's plots ought to be quite clear that he was damn good at getting accurate bits of information.
He was one dedicated SoB, I'm not disputing that.
So, you're saying Han Solo - if dedicated - could "give himself completely to the dark side"? How about no. It took power and dedication.
So it gained strength, so what? Considering how weak it already was, this is no big deal.
Strength to the point that he managed to conceal his presence from the Jedi for decades, and he was responsible for the imbalance in the Force, as well as diminishing the Jedi's ability to use the Force. Name to me some Sith who did that.
Dooku is a relative weakling.
No. Dooku "was one of the very most gifted duelists in the Jedi Order's history", and Yoda thought that he was "the most learned pupil of the Force" in his (Yoda's) time as a Jedi. That's 800 years.
Not purely in respect to combat, you can whine all you want about the guys at EoD and how double standards, but the fact is, power is ambiguous, and in the context it was written, where intelligence was listed as his greatest weapon, I'm gonna go with my interpretation.
Sexy "Whine-about-everything" Back accusing me of whining? Yeah. Again, why do you discuss things you're ignorant about? The double standards you speak of are when "power is ambiguous" only when it applies to Sidious and none other.
He was one intelligence SoB, I won't deny it, he had the mind and dedication to do that.
Power = intellect?
It didn't say "the one born with the intellect...". It said power. There's a difference. But, I guess, not having an abundance of intellect, you really wouldn't understand. 🙁
