🙂 . hey apparently all dismissal of the blurb are gut feelings and emotional biases so why can't dismissal of sheev's own words about his pathetic weak ass bitchery be ignored in the same vein?
sidious' words are also primary source. 🙂. primary source>tacky quaternary sources. dont deny it sheev fanboys.
Blurbs can be ignored if they are outright contradicted by actual showings.
Sheev's words can be ignored for two reasons; one, because the words do not come from a third person narrative statement but out of the mouth of a character meaning the statement is fallible, secondly it doesn't even show us if Sidious himself believes the statement as the scene doesn't take place from Sidious's perspective. And finally it's indicated he is faking because he was able to blast Windu's blade out of his hand with lightning and had a chance to cut Windu down early on that he did not take. All that in conjunction is enough for those who hold the stance you brought up to feel justified in it.
Originally posted by Deronn_soloIt's still wrong to argue that Valkorion's more powerful than Plagueis on the basis of him not being a Sith (which he is).
Well, Valkorion is clearly above Vitiate by a quality margin, and we don't know exactly how much more powerful Plague is compared to Vitiate, so there is that.
Originally posted by UCanShootMyNovawow sheev fanboys in full denial mode, this is getting depressing. the gut feelings and emotional biases are real. 👆 . let's just chuck out all character statements because there is an outside chance they are wrong. of course only do this when those statements hurt our beloved sheev. also even star wars.com says that whether sidious held back is totally up to dispute and gillard puts him on same level as well as GL. that means that all the chances sidious didn't take are a sign of his incompotence and as a result valkorion will tool him casually. can't beat somebody when you've got shit accuracy 👆
