A shit ton of potentially new quotes

These are from the new release of the Fact Files. They include Legends content in error, but are intended to directed toward the new Canon continuity.

In particular, check out the Mace Windu section. A unique description of Vaapad is provided.

"With powers on a par with Yoda". 🙂

Although it seems the claims of Yoda realizing his future lay elsewhere and whatever else are finally proven.

Who's that regarding? I haven't read them all yet.

Mace.

It also claims that Mace had Sidious down for real and that Palpatine was genuinely saved only by Anakin.

There's also Sidious being "impossibly powerful" and Palpatine beating Opress only "almost casually".

For Yoda vs Dooku, the first one has Yoda just beginning to get an advantage in the fight, which prompted Dooku's retreat, but no explicit winner emerged.

Retconned / inconsistent with higher canonical sources, but still neat. 👆

Eh, there's no direct contradiction to the notion Palpatine was faking, tbh.

Yeah, after reading through them, most of these (possibly all) are reprints of older Legends fact files. I recognize the exact wording in some of them, particularly the Dooku ones.

The same happened with Insider.

EDIT: This isn't the reprint; this is the actual one. These are old, not new.

Yeah, just saw that one. The same one claims that Palpatine and Yoda effectively drew.

lol On this one it says Dooku was driven back and barely escaped with his life, then on the same page says that they were almost equals with Yoda possibly having a slight edge.

Star Wars inconsistent af.

One claims that Maul beat Grievous easily and that Talzin drained Dooku's energies until she could possess him, suggesting that she couldn't possess him outright. Also confirmation that Dooku + Sidious > Maul + Talzin, but I have that on my RT already.

Ah, and this is where those Sidious vs Maul/Savage quotes comes from. What's the issue number? I have the images in my RT but didn't know which ones they were from.

Was that Vaapad stuff new? With the explosion of power and all?

Never mind, these aren't reprints. These are the actual ones, which makes most of them old. Still 2013-2014ish, but not exactly "new" like you had us believing. 🙂

Anything after the Disney takeover is new to me.

It says Palpatine was saved only by Anakin's intervention, which "finally allowed him to kill the Jedi Master".

That doesn't mean the fight wasn't faked. Just that Palpatine put absolute faith in Anakin.

In regards to "finally allowed him to kill the Jedi Master," it could mean that the timing was now right.

Gotta work with it. 👆

Nah, dismissing it on the grounds of other sources would be a superior alternative. 🙂

If Palpatine was saved only by Anakin, that means he couldn't save himself.

None of these are reprints. I thought by new you meant that they were just released, so I thought they reprinted some of them.

So these are all the original ones from 2014+ re-run of the Fact Files.

I never heard of that explosion of Force power within Mace thing before. Explains his insane augmentation to Palpatine level, if we want to apply it to Legends.

In Canon, has Vaapad even been mentioned yet?
