Lolwut? We have Anakin, with (potentially) the highest midi rate ever and he is no scholar- his overall learning (composite of everything he knew) was abysmal compared to other greats and on the other hand we have Sidious, who despite his incredible knowledge is not noted to have particularly high base-Force reserves.

You've got a ways to go to establish that there is a correlation, much less a causation.

And yes i like to hear the keys tapping.
no there is no major cannon suggesting that,i only agree that revan is superior by a fraction.

So you have no reason to believe that Revan is superior you just 'agree' that Revan is superior by a fraction.

Think. Take a deep breath. Think again.

Now, prove your argument.

A parliament for landing privileges for my brain.
😐

Parliament
–noun
1. (usually initial capital letter) the legislature of Great Britain, historically the assembly of the three estates, now composed of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal, forming together the House of Lords, and representatives of the counties, cities, boroughs, and universities, forming the House of Commons.
2. (usually initial capital letter) the legislature of certain British colonies and possessions.
3. a legislative body in any of various other countries.
4. French History. any of several high courts of justice in France before 1789.
5. a meeting or assembly for conference on public or national affairs.
6. Cards. fan-tan (def. 1).
I simply cannot understand how that could be considered an insult (or even a coherent thought) by any stretch of the imagination.

I think he's a 9 year old Cambodian immigrant. It would explain... some things.

AWW damn it,wrong word.

Fine i cant conceive any longer...why is it then that revan is stronger.
prove then im wrong not including the insults,due to my lack of forethought.

Revan isn't proven to be stronger. He's proven to be strong. That's all. There are no statistics for his strength, potential, Force-powers, what lightsaber form he used, etc. Nothing we can use in a Vs. match.

Due to the absence of a social thread... I must socialize here.

I have the song "Hero" by Nickelback[s lead singer] stuck in my head. I don't know why, I don't even know when I first heard it, but I do.

Wrong forum. Please use
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f59/ or http://www.killermovies.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=11
for serious discussions. This is too important a topic for a social thread.

I LOL'd at the last few darthbane posts.

The trick is to call people on their BS then wait for them to choke on it. It does no good to tear their arguments apart- they can ignore proof of fail that comes from the outside. It is much harder to counter a realization of failure that comes from within. ('Dude you're wrong!' can be ignored. 'I messed up' cannot.)

You really think he's going to think he's wrong ? I think he sees the words on the screen in a different way than we do.

For example, he says Revan is stronger. You say no, because there is no proof. He says he agrees there is no proof but he also agrees Revan is superior by a fraction ...

My favorite newbie tactic is 'we can all agree that [x]'. I cannot agree that [x]. Tell me why to agree, and I'll think about it.

Are you by any chance a shrink ?

No.

Alright then. You have potential though.

Nah. He takes life too seriously. Shrinks need to be laid back, freedom loving, and conservative.

And from the Emperor himself, Mara Jade learned to develop her Force powers. She learned to listen for his telepathic "voice," even across the galaxy, and to draw strength from his own vast reserves of power.

Fanboy intervention.

I miss the days in which the word "Retired" had a meaning. 🙁

It hasn't even been two weeks. He's suffering from withdrawal.

Oh, no. Particularly after the Battle Bar closed? Nah. This place isn't worth it anymore. But I didn't want Red to get in ass deep; he'd appreciate the correction.

God damn it Gideon. Your sources are supposed to be off limits. Anyway, the (loose) correlation shown does not equal causation. I realize that isn't a get out of free card, but substantial evidence would have to be brought to the table to establish that fact.

Strong correlation between A and B implies one of these four possibilities :[list=1]
[*] A causes B
[*] B causes A
[*] It is a simple coincidence (with computable probability, often this is impossible when enough measures are made)
[*] C causes both A and B[/list]
