IMPORTANT: Ha, suck it PT Brigade.

Fact File also says Bane>Kun. That also matters.

😬 How does that change the question of reliability at all? They didn't even get the definition of "canon" right, kek.

But since none of the ancient sith are canon anyway, you just rendered your own quote invalid. Strangely enough, you're boasting about this self-defeat as if it were a victory, lmao.

facepalm It doesn't matter what the reality is, just what the makers of the quote think it is.

You lost and honestly even admitted it (pages prior).

And what Beni and co. have been trying to tell you is that the makers of the quote didn't even say this, by the same standards you use to dismiss the Plagueis back cover quote - which came out after Vitiate's creation.

Your only suspiciously delayed response was that this twitter page responding to random tweets carefully consults the authors whereas the publisher writing the blurbs that everyone who buys the book can see does not. 😆

Lmao if you think discrediting your own quote counts as a victory for you, or that I would see Bane lowballing as a defeat. 👆

If I discredited it, as you stated in your third line of rambling, why type two additional lines of rambling?

Stop trying to save face. You were wrong. I was right. I get the ice-cream. You get the back of the white van.

Lmao, it's called an even-if statement. "You're wrong on point X, but even if you were right on point X, its implications don't matter or even work against you."

I think you're getting a little sloppy. You are enraged and desperate to defeat the shadow of The Sith Emperor The Gideon and now have gone on a hysteria of mass replicated arguments in a desperate attempt to genocide an entire quote...sort of like a certain fictional character... mmm

I can't believe that you people really manage to "debate" this. You just, really, need to ask two questions:

1) Was the source in question released post "Disney Wars"?
2) Has the source "Legends" written on it?

If it's "yes" for 1 and "no" for 2, it is obvious that only Disney canon is considered in which large parts of the EU / Legends don't exist - unless explicitly mentioned in the new canon source material or within the source in question.

This is like quoting one of the Visual Dictionary and assume that it considers stuff outside the movies...

Is this the Bane > all quote? Yeah, never subscribed to it.

The first smart post all thread. 👆

Publishers =/= authors, and only Lucas Liscening has the authority to vet material, and determine the facts of continuity. What this guy thinks is irrelevant, as it is wrong, and his opinions could of in no way informed the wording of the text.

Different. 😬 I'm merely asking the twitter guy for clarification on work already produced. He knew the answer, or at least asked legitimate staff for said answer, and responded.

There's a clear distinction from that and then allowing the guy across the room to establish new canon hierarchy or create original content on equal footing than the book itself.

Of course its since been proven the man is not accurate, but that wasn't the contexts in which you made the claim. So the double-standard stands.

You don't see the petty fogging here? Lmao, it's not like the publisher doesn't consult the author before writing the back blurb.

Now ironically enough Lucas Liscening has a publishing division, so for all we know this "guy in marketing" could well be a Lucas Books employee, far more an authority on canon than Drew. 😂

Yet even if this was instead written by say, Del Rey, the fact remains that we should assume that just as the author's work is vetted and approve by Lucas Licensing, so is the blurb. Which would make it just as canon as the content, regardless of who wrote it. 👆

So Darth Bane > Valkorion?

Thanks but no thanks. I'd prefer to ignore blurbs.

"I'd prefer to ignore blurbs, therefore everyone else must as well." lol

It's really not, but treating the word of this publisher as accurate, you have conceded that the publisher, through whatever means, can make informed and accurate statements regarding canon. Therefore you must assume them informed on continuity when writing the blurbs you've previously dismissed as the opposite, uninformed. 👆

The "PT brigade" 's ongoing victory is quite impressive indeed.

It turned internet sentiment from the Ancients being vastly more powerful than Sidious, to being weaker than Sidious but all quite a bit beyond Vader, to most of them being below Vader but still above Dooku, to now only a few of them even being stronger than Tyranus. Obi Wan vs. Malak would once get a bunch of lol's in favor of Malak; now, most would pick Obi Wan. Kas'im went from being a match for Sidious as a duelist to Kas'im vs. Dooku being a troll thread.

Ant's greatest efforts have been in vain, and by the time he reaches his peak, it will probably be too late. 👆

Which ancients are below Dooku? Muur was compared favorably to Vader and he's below Kun, Nadd, Vitiate, Pall, Hord, Bane etc. All the major ones. Only those relatively unknown would go below Dooku.

Whatever response to that claim you might have had got lost in a fifteen-thousand character long rambling session.

The petty fogging is hilariously transparent. If you don't trust the publisher to "create" new content, why do you trust them to clarify made ones? How and why did you draw that distinction?

The distinction being drawn between clarifying and creating. 😂

Note to Ant: restating your assertion does not justify it.

Keep trying. 👆
