I’m not saying that quotes can’t support an argument, but one quote doesn’t make an argument - especially when it’s coming from a novelization, a source which contradicts the movies (and consequently, the head honcho Lucas) on numerous occasions. There should be several facts consistently showing that Yoda is beyond Revan, not one source which on numerous occasions displayed its fallibility and rather jaded depiction of events transpiring in ROTS.
That's very much incorrect, Zephiel. Lightsnake, on EoD, has provided proof that George Lucas personally oversaw the contents of the RotS novelization, and Leeland Chee confirmed that direct contradictions - that is to say, actions, dialogue, and so forth - are overturned by the movies, but that the novelizations elaborate [and with canon] in regards to the narrative. Movies do not contradict the narrative set in place by the novelizations. A quote from a G-canon source is, actually, more concrete than anything provided from a lesser source. For example: were Revan's actions to depict him as a 'more powerful' Force user than Yoda, and it contradicted the quote [and thus the narrative itself] Yoda would still be considered more powerful. Canon cannot be debates nor misinterpreted. Quotes are more reliable than logical deduction, and in this case, when the quote is derived from the omniscient narrator of a G-canon source, the quote is more canon that interpretation of events and actions.
I don’t doubt that Yoda’s powerful, but can he really match a Jedi/Sith that while amnesiatic was able to counter a Sith Lord on the level of Dooku absorbing an entire race of above average force users (and technology)? Even Bane who has shown more than Yoda feared Revan, and the former was capable of “nudging” objects several hundreds of thousands of kilograms in mass.
This is irrelevant. Yoda's strength in the Force is now unquestionable. You can toss out examples of Revan's power all night, but the quote is from a G-canon source [making it higher up on the totem pole than KOTOR itself] and thus overturns everything that contradicts it.
In arguendo, assuming that the quote was true - which I simply can’t accept based on Yoda’s rather lackluster feats according to the supreme canon source and the novelization's reputation for contradicting movie details- how are you coming to the conclusion that Yoda is hands down Revan’s superior? Are you basing this on how Malak calls Revan stronger as a Jedi than he was as a Sith? If so, that would be Malak’s fallible opinion - bear in mind Chronicles states Malak didn’t even know everything Revan knew when the latter was the dark lord of the Sith. As you can see, I would honestly question whether Malak knew what the hell he was talking about.
The status of the novelization is unquestionable, Zephiel. Direct contradictions in the form of actions and dialogue is overturned by the movies, but when it comes to the storyline, narrative, and character thoughts, it doesn't. 'The most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness has ever known'. He is more powerful than any Jedi in the history of the Order.
