Kyp Durron runs the gauntlet!

So is Jaden Korr "the most powerful of the most powerful of the most powerful"? 😐

Yes.

Epiphany: what if the accolade is faintly hyperbolic?

Is Ragnos being 'the most powerful of the most powerful' from a credible source? Its a great accolade.

I've only seen it used in a blurb. So probably not all that credible.

It seems rather self-explanatory and literal to me.

Edit: Oh, really? Which blurb?

Mace Windu said that Kar Vastor rivals Yoda in Force power.
Yoda = Sidious.
Sidious = GOAT sith lord
And Nick tells us Vader >>> Kar Vastor.

What can we conclude from this?

Mace Windu overestimates THE SHIT out of people.

Seriously that "Obi-Wan Kenobi: Soresu God" thing is worthless now.

^wouldn't he also overestimate Yoda in his comparison, then?

No, since he considers himself as a padawan compared to Yoda.

Edit: Link not working for some reason.

But go to Wookieepedia and check out the publisher's summary for Tales of the Jedi: The Golden Age of the Sith 2: Funeral for a Dark Lord.

So Windu-exaggerated-Vastor is on par with Windu-exaggerated-Yoda?

Or Windu was talking about potential. After all, he compared him to Anakin as well.

Shhhh...

Publisher's summary

Marka Ragnos ruled the galaxy with an iron fist. He was the Dark Lord of the Sith — the most powerful of the most powerful. But now he is dead. And two innocent hyperspace explorers, Gav and Jori Daragon, may follow suit if they get caught between the warring factions hoping to fill the Dark Lord void.

Hmmm. I guess its not credible then.

^lol, wut? So he was the most powerful (in what manner?) of his empire. Big whoop. It even suggests that this is a result of his "Dark Lord of the Sith" title.

lol, those accolades can relate to malak as well, and we all know how he compares with heavyweights...

You have some great accolades for Malak? Post them!

I guess I need to put the emphasis back in:

He wasn't just the DLotS, he was the definitive DLotS, the greatest and most powerful.

...of his era.

The same era that had Tulak Hord running around in. super13
