StarKiller vs Bane

Started by Lightsnake3 pages

Yes, it does. The Holocron word was "Newer sources take precedence."

When was that stated?

Somewhere in Chee's blog. It was posted to Wookieepedia, though. The general rule is that newer sources tend to take precedence

It's a swell thing then that Bane's an idiot. An idiot with half his organic body replaced with prosthetics. Cuz hell, if Vader of all the quick-witted acrobats in Star Wars, can't dodge or catch objects, then what chance has Bane got?

quoting lucien A (i think ur tangible god am i correct? i've been reading alot of the topics but i just don't feel like typing stuff) not sure if i pressed the right quote button..

anyways i like ur sarcasm

well i thought it was sarcasm.

Am not doubting you but, can you please explain yourself because i hear a lot of people saying that bane moved a moon jokingly and, i have no access to the rule of two. 🙁

i just reread the rule of two really quickly and i didn't see bane moving a moon anywhere.. well i admit that i skipped to the battle at the end but whatever..

oh and sry for double posting cuz idk how to quote 2 ppl in the same post

Actually, that's kinda how it works. New sources take precedence.

1. the comic doesn't have Bane moving a moon. He meets Zannah and leaves with her, it ends there. Bane of the Sith, the short story, however, has Bane flying off, preparing to 'nudge' Dxun closer to Onderon. He's not shown doing so onscreen
2. Well, Rule of Two...he just flies between the worlds there.

How about a big "NOPE", there?

New sources don't automatically take precedence, Lightsnake. That's depended on what information is presented and how the information is presented. Obviously you can't thrust every comment of every damn character appearing in every damn SW story, if they blatantly contradict established canon.

Not to mention that LFL encourages debate among fans and therefore leaves a shitload of topics unresolved or statements concerning them vague. That's for example a reason why they:

- switched to the in-universe-narrators for most of the Guides [because such sources are fallible]
- don't hand out power-charts of the characters [because everybody shall be able to believe that his favourite is the most powerful]
- construct situations in the stories during fights in the stories that may not be replicateable by the characters involved. [Such as Jedi "merging" with the force or become the embodiments of their respective sides of the Force]

etc. pp.

Everything outside the movies [starting with the novelizations, continuing over the regular EU stories / comics to the Guides] is entirely one giant grey zone in which everybody can pretty much believe what he / she wants.

Here's a thought: Show me some actual proof of anything you're saying here. Not your interpretation, some official word on the subject.

Because when people were getting upset about things like the New Essential Chronology and Path of Destruction, what was the answer given? "The newer source takes precedence, from what I can recall.

Starkiller beat the Emperor.

No, he did not. The databank even says Starkiller knew he was no match for Palpatine

Yeah Starkiller didn't stand a chance against Palpatine.

What are you smokin? 😮‍💨 (I want some) Last I checked the emperor lived. The quote that Lightsnake is referring to from the sw databank is, Lightsabers clashed inside the Emperor's observation dome, but Starkiller was ultimately no match for the power of Darth Sidious.

starkiller threw the emperor around a bit, but he was feigning weakness.

There are other force attacks besides lightning. Would Bane's orbalisks protect him from being crushed to death by heavy machinery?

Yes. Bane survived a fall that left a crater that was 20 metres wide and 2 metres deep, and left three large flying beasts and their riders as a mountain of pulverised flesh. This was when Bane first got the orbalisks, two of them, each the size of a dinner plate. Bane survived because they healed him.

Not quite. Bane survived because they allowed him to generate enough Dark side energy (Force power) to shield himself from the crash. His injuries is RoT were described as "limping an hunched over, with one arm clutched at his side." His injuries are clearly not life threatening. The orbalisks gave him power, but did not heal him from the brink of death.
