Are Legends feats reliable?

InFACKINGdeed my friend infockingdeed.

But I'd like you to take a look at KotOR lore and Revan story, it is a legend, but we know that it did happen unlike many legend... It is the legend but it is also historicly accurate, but enough to agree at 100% about all what is said about it.

Finding Darth Revan feats is pretty hard but not impossible. Just try.... KotOR is an amazing material for speculation theories and all that since it is designed for you to think and make theories...

Toplel

If You want to know how to treat feat that come from old legend, try to do so with some more recent legend.. Like KotOR or instance.... This my advice.. And Jensaarai/Grey Jedi understood it. The way that Obsidian entertainement learn them to think.. They use that...

So, in other words, drop down on your knees and don't forget to breathe for Revan.

Or Kreia or some other characters..Or the historian in the library... Character focused on the past..

But I will not advise to go for the old sith lord without going through KotOR since many other media talking about them appeared in a response to KotOR...

Mostly old legend within the star wars universe occured before KotOR.... So you will have to go through KotOR anyway, because as I'm trying tp tel you some pre-KotOR lore are here thank to KotOR.

But before touching some old legend stuff try to solve some mysteries like.. who is Aren Kae and thing like that... Who re-activated the HK-50 factory...? Yhea just try to solve that mystery...

Yeah, I know it's not new.

Your handling of the source material so far implies that you didn't.

But there's been much said by the likes of Neph and Ant about the accuracy of TFU feats and OCW feats. This indicates that a similar discussion should be had about pre-movie era feats and exploits.

Operating under the "foggy window" premise, every "feat" from the source material (except the movies and - nowadays - the Clone Wars show) can be questioned.

And this has and always had to be the case, given the rather huge differences between use of the Force in the movies / tv show and the EU source-material. Not only because EU only characters appear to be almost godlike compared to the "movie / tv character", but some of the latter also displayed abilities that appeared to be beyond their "movie selves". This is, in fact, nothing but a declaration that only "Disney canon" is to be considered as "canonical truth".

However. Where is the point here? Either you utilize suspension of disbelief in order to include EU / Legends feats in your arguments or you have to stick to "Disney Canon" characters limited to their Disney Canon Feats because everything else is "unrelieable".

You really aren't disagreeing with the above statement. Thought you should know.

Gideon and Ares gave Advent shit about the foggy window quote 8 years or so ago. I know it's nothing new. But as you say: suspension of disbelief.

Yes. Because Gideon and Ares weren't as clever as Advent was.

You see. The problem with "suspension of disbelief" is, that it works rather well when you just read fiction for yourself.

It becomes a more complex issue in the context of a versus forum. Because there, you're suddenly trying to win debates based on arguments referring to (possibly inaccurate) representations of events that (might have) happened in a fictional realm. And you need people to believe in your interpretations of the stuff that you believe has happened, in order to "beat" them in a debate. While they stick to their interpretations of things that they believe have happend and they think are more impressive than other stuff that might have happened in the way the sources have depicted it - or not.

This is why nobody will change his opinion here. There is no necessity to do so, because in the end all boils down to your personal interpretation of what the source material gives you. It's a matter of taste.

And maybe now you can finally grasp the idea, that I'm not following any "agenda" here that is aimed at the relative ranking of characters. Because it is futile. And...

Nah, you're full of shit. Your agenda has almost always favored ancient Sith over Sheev and you've got the posting history to prove it. 👆

Is there any reason why you have stopped dealing with my arguments entirely and instead keep pointing to my posting history (or rather: your interpretation of it) where it is of absolutely no interest for this debate in particular?

It's pretty easy to determine who is "full of shit" here and - woah - it isn't me. 😂

I read your contribution to this thread and I haven't decided to weigh in on it, just like I haven't decided to weigh in on Beni's on the first page.

As far as your posting history is concerned, you're the one who keeps bringing it up lol. I just reject your revisionist history bullshit. 👆

tempest who could you possibly masturbate to?

Thank.

When someone tell you Tulak hord pull a ship out of the sky and you can see a crashed ship were it was supposed to happen yhea, you do not say ho that ship have been gundown by some random turbolasers...

True but this is why context matters.

Tulak hord pulled a ship out of the sky. Okay, how? Did he just pull it down casually? Did he need to concentrate and meditate intensely so that while pulling it down he was vulnerable and any goon could slit his throat? Did he pass out from exhaustion afterwards? Did he use Sith amulets or rituals to bolster his power?

Details are important.
