Nova, take your L.

Oh.

No one referenced a specific quote in regards to Palpatine's supremacy. I questioned him because Plagueis was the most powerful at the time. I have no idea what you're on about.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Now let's move on.

This is not a lore-based claim! This is just a marketing statement.

Darth Bane is also labelled as the most powerful Sith Lord in history in one source so should we take it seriously now?

I can say that that statement is from the perspective of someone...

Yeah if you think Bane is sub Dooku or whatever you can't take this shit at face value for Plagueis.

This is lore-based revelation:

If a Sith of equal power had preceded him, then that one had taken his or her secrets to the grave, or had locked them away in holocrons that had
been destroyed or had yet to surface.

Taken from Star Wars: Darth Plagueis

It leaves room for someone equal or more powerful then Darth Plagueis to exist before him.

Vitiate have shaken Palpatine's hype, let alone Plagueis's.

Yes we get it LeGenD, Valk>Plagueis. This is almost universally accepted at this point. That being said aside from Valkorion there's really no one who precedes Plagueis that I'd put higher than him.

Except Bane's quote makes absolutely no claim to all of history, and it's implied several times throughout the novels that he's inferior to the Old Sith.

Valkorion certainly seems to be one of those secrets to the grave fellows, yeah.

I was referring to Plagueis's book cover shit, not the text on page.

Book covers are/were official material. It seems to be from a limited-omniscient standpoint, though.
