This quote - legit or no?

Do you accept the quote or not? Reasons are encouraged.

I take all quotes as canonical that don't contradict themselves. I'm sure there's some feat that Revan has struggled with/needed to focus in order to accomplish which would be enough for me to dismiss it. If there isn't though I'd have to accept it because of my policy.

I was going to mention the Vitiate feat as a contradictory feat but being fair, the fight did occur on a DS nexus so no one can say for sure that Vitiate > Revan off nexus ( as implausible as that idea is ).

Is it from the same source that states Bastila is a second rate character like Dooku? 😆

No one can say shit because Ants right lmao

He is tbh. I'm pretty sure Ant doesn't believe it himself but it would be hypocritical to dismiss this source but not others. Something that I came to a realization recently after pondering the validity of RPG stats.

As canonical as Exar Kun having been "the darkest power in the galaxy."

As canonical as the quotes that say Ulic Qel-Droma was the only Sith practitioner who could challenge him.

Yeah, but that's not a valid reason to dismiss this quote, because this quote isn't that quote and them being from the same source does not make it so. I want logical reasons or this quote will be legitimized.

Abeloth < Exar.

Ulic can freeze lightsabers with a thought. Annihilate 12 Sith at once.

Yep. Found the contradictory quote.

"Reaching out to the Force, Revan focused on the lid. After a moment it began to move, the edge grating along the lip of the lower half of the sarcophagus as it slowly rose into the air." - Revan.

Revan had to actually focus to accomplish the feat while an unlisted Sith like Nihilus could devastate a planet with a thought.

Enough for me to dismiss a quote that would contradict later quotes for Vitiate.

According to Saga Edition Sion ~ Dooku, Atris ~ Obi Wan, Traya > Vader.

Some people believe once a source releases a quote they consider "invalid" the entire source is invalidated.

Also, to clarify, if two quotes do come into conflict with each other, I take the one published last and view it as an acting retcon.

No quotes were published after https://e16i.imgup.net/revand7f1.png verifying Exar > Darth Revan.

By Azronger's standards, the quote is legit.

It's a web supplement, not from the game proper so no, not canon.

Source?

C-canon is primarily composed of elements from the Expanded Universe including books, comics, and games bearing the label of Star Wars. Games and RPG sourcebooks are a special case; the stories and general background information are themselves fully C-canon, but the other elements such as character/item statistics and gameplay are, with few exceptions, N-canon.
Has the Holocron been retconned?

Which is fine. As I mentioned the quote is contradicted anyways.

I was referring specifically to Vitiate and Revan though not Revan and Kun.

Me, I'm quoting myself you phag. 🙂

@Geistalt: Beni's quoting himself from CV.

Aside from the introduction of Canon, that is.
