Absolutely subjective in short. 👆

Your point?

Absolutely wrong! You are setting a dangerous precedent with that kind of nonsense.
We have two kind of realities:-
In-universe - AUTHENTIC for the world of fiction
Out-of-universe - AUTHENTIC for (our) world
Don't spread misconceptions about the authenticity of in-universe writing formats here. Check my latest response to member Azronger here: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=640514&pagenumber=10#post16138516
A blurb represents an OOU perspective of developments in the world of fiction (from the relevant publisher) and is utterly subjective unless endorsed within the in-universe body of literature of the relevant lore. This is my point.
If it was stated [in] the novel that Darth Plagueis had become more powerful than any Sith (living or entity) that existed before, it would have been an authentic revelation for the lore in question. But this is not the case and we are left with a subjective assessment of a publisher for it.
