Are you listening to yourself?

It's going to be made for canon is it not?

Or is it like TOR and it's going to be a Legends work that is made alongside Disney canon?

Apparently Legends? Since he references DE and ToTJ, but then he also references Canon Luke who is vastly different to Legends obviously. Sooo....

He's making a book about Legends Continuity, specifically about DE and TOTJ. His reference to Luke is just a reference to the new Luke and how powerful he might be.

Oh god... Oh no...

Even if you try to weasel out of this with appeals to authorial irrelevancy, which are in and of themselves hilarious.

Appeals to authorial irrelevancy are what you do all the time with Avellone, lol.

I already rank Kun highly - much moreso than most other people. If Veitch's new book puts Kun near Palpatine, then I won't be the one complaining.

Avellone's referring to a project and concepts that never saw the light of day. LMFAO at you trying to equate the two.

I never said you would be, I just don't appreciate instant dismissal of new sources such as this when we have no reason to do so.

People are counting their chickens before they hatch here. Let's see, not only what the book says, but what it's actually about.

1. I'm talking about him referring to Darth Revan kicking Traya and Surik's asses.

2. Instant dismissal? I'm just saying don't get your hopes up high when it's contradicted by official sources - like the last time Veitch commented on his own works.

Double standards.

Yes, his concepts of Darth Revan massively differs from the Revan we actually know. His idea of Darth Revan is much more in line with Dark Revan.

Except the contradictions aren't nearly as brazen as you make them out to be.

1. Most of the Darth Revan we know comes from KotOR II, actually. But I'm not opposed to dismissing Avellone's opinion, only that you can't do that and then laugh at other people for maintaining their standards with Veitch, lol. One could say the same about how Veitch views Kun or Palpatine.

2. They're directly contradicted by licensed material, including his own. That's all I'm making it out to be.

A Darth Revan that never lived up to the hype, you mean? Kun's placement by Veitch is directly implied and stated in actual sources, there's the difference.

AP is legit hilarious.

Aside for the Dark Empire endnotes, which directly contradict him, huh.

What are you talking about? This is the same Darth Revan that Avellone wrote. He's using that one. lmfao

You do realize that Veitch himself penned Sidious as the most powerful dark side master ever in official sources, right?

Aren't those from Palps himself tho? They could be fallible.

No they're not, the DE end notes are talking about everyone overall who takes part in the story such as Mon Mothma and what-not.

Yeah they are written from an objective third-person perspective.
