George Lucas stating Sidious is the most powerful Sith Lord ever is "common knowledge"? That's news to this entire forum then. No one has ever brought it up. It certainly would've made things easier for Lightsnake in...2005 and 2006.What does he say then, exactly, word-for-word?

You. For not proving up on what you were supposed to.Where, in any of that, is there a direct quote from George Lucas himself stating Sidious is "the most powerful Sith ever"?
There isn't one. The commentary thing is an urban myth perpetuated by numerous fansites.
Not that it matters. I have this invincible essay proving Palpatine's superiority.
Anyways, I'm off.

I concur, that does indeed take priority.
I don't think Lucas ever said that Sids was the most powerful to ever exist- it was stated in Dark Empire, but that is not quite Lucas' mouth, is it? In any case, Gid's essay is outstanding on the topic of Palpatine's power.
Originally posted by AdventOh please, as much as I appreciate your piteous self congratulations on "going there", I have shown that it has been common knowledge since 2006, and it has been said in literature at least twice. your unintelligible blathering about the lack of power charts and thus the inability to debate "who would beat who" potentially, that is if you could make a sensible debate of it, makes this entire forum pointless.
Well, good night then, Gideon. However, you aren't going anywhere, Neo. At least, your reputation here isn't. Quit making things up; it affects your credibility. And not in a good way.Oh yeah, I went there.
I have made nothing up, I heard from word of mouth that George Lucas say that Sidious was the most powerful. I have heard it multiple times on this forum, and have read it on theforce.net. If Gideon says that it is an "urban legend" i believe him, but i will not concede the point that it is at least C-Canon. Dark Empire definitely states it, as does the dark side source book, making it canon one way or another.
You're a complete popinjay, Mr. Anderson. Do you recall how you initiated this discussion with me? You said that George Lucas stated Sidious as "the most powerful Sith ever", which was a fabrication. I never questioned whether or not he was the most powerful (in fact, I openly admitted it in this thread), only whether or not Lucas said so.
Try to keep up with your own debate.
