Sith Force Tournament

Yes, that doesn't contradict what I was saying.

You claimed that Sidious couldn't have had "that much" aside from the holocrons in possession of Darth Plagueis and such. The reason I bring this quote to your attention is to make clear, in no uncertain terms, that Palpatine had access to an "extraordinary wealth" of Sith knowledge and artifacts.

I see...Crimzon said that Nick Gillard said that he was.

He did. But canon doesn't grant Nick Gillard G-canon status or special authority. Is it possible (and even likely) that that was what was intended for the Emperor? Sure. Especially since no one bothered to contradict Gillard. But the fact remains that I do not debate intent from individuals nor is Gillard a canon source.

However, if what you say is true, then my 'Bane mastered all seven forms' would be very incorrect due to the premise being wrong, and I'd concede.

But Bane did know all of the sequences of the forms, thats how he fights them, by memorising sequences. Its extremely pluasable that he could fight and use the other styles, but I would hesitate to call him a 'master' of them.

Is there actually proof that Sidious personally trained Maul or that he was otherwise a Master of Juyo?

Bravo.

The same reason that Anakin Skywalker could mimic stances and engagements of multiple forms, though nothing suggests he'd mastered any more than one.

You're suggesting Sidious didn't train Maul?

Well, obviously. Everything about Sidious is ambiguous, Tangible, even though he's the most explored Sith Lord outside of Vader. You didn't know that that ambiguity also taints Maul's training?

But of course. Numerically vast sources mean squat when compared to one's imagination. Shall we sing the Imagination Song?

Besides Maul's journal saying he did or Palpatine saying he did in JvS?

Nope, not a thing

I'm familiar only with "Imagine." Are you suggesting Nebaris has been cranking out some Lennon?

Geez, the guy asks a simple question and you hounds jump on him like he committed some vile crime because for a brief second he might have doubted Sidious the lord and savior of the Roman Sith Church.

I have no idea who you are, so I'm not going to "jump on you" like a hound. Suffice it to say that we're not in the habit of being habitual jerks and that we have a history with this particular user and his questions. A history, forgive me, that you seem completely ignorant of. We don't need to explain ourselves to you.

Imagin-aaa-aaa-tion...Imagin-aaa-aaa-tion...

(South Park, Gideon...although Lennon's song is better. 😉)

Sorry, Veneficus, but if you witnessed as much from Taven (Nebaris) as most of us have, you'd jump all over him too. He revels in nitpicking. And not the good nitpicking either.

Taven's Nebaris? Wasn't Nebaris banned like last year? Ok, now I understand.
