Do we accept novel blurbs and publisher summaries?

Can I get an example Nova?

Example of?

Of a Master being referred to as a Knight, like:

"For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times. Before the Empire."

👆

Yeah, there's bloody millions of those.

Old quote is old.

Anakin is the most powerful Knight in the entire history of the Order. Then he became even more powerful during Operation Knightfall, before losing that power on Mustafar.

Blurbs are invalid tho.

In your opinion, and at the suggestion of one Drew Karpyshyn. This novelisation was micro-managed by George Lucas himself and written based off of Lucas' own script.

Too bad that's all been trashed. 🙂

Which Lucas himself then blatantly contradicted and overruled.

Like, its hilarious how people use the fact that Lucas read the book as if that made it more canon while ignoring that yeah, Lucas read the thing and then knowingly invalidated it himself, lol.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's such bullshit when people say ROTS Novel>Movie or other Lucas statements just because "Lucas line edited it... OOOOOOOOOOH"

Especially when the other novels he worked closely on say differently. 🙂 👆

Well, it technically has.

That isn't the point at all, Neph is claiming that the blurb is invalid, when the case he is citing is some irrelevant TOR author.

It hasn't, at all, using quotes to say Vader is far more powerful than the Vader that lost all his power is irrelevant.

Said author knows how the system works infinitely better than you or I do, since he's actually published multiple SW books. His opinion is far more valuable in this regard than anything you can say.

His opinion is based on experiences way outside of what would occur for a movie novelisation based on scripts.
