Elm's rather fanciful with his accolades.

I'm sorry?

"Another staggering, painful step and the Emperor was within the apprentice's reach. With shaking fingers, he took the old man's bony shoulders in his hands and gripped them tight. The Sith lightning spread to engulf the two of them, fueled by both their desperations." - The Force Unleashed.

Where did you get the impression that Palpatine wasn't trying to overpower Galen in the ~20 seconds he had when the leadership of the Rebellion was getting away, something that Sidious is furious over just minutes later?

even if I consider it one far ahead of Arcann's paygrade(comparing spirit!Valk vs Arcann's barrier and Sheev vs Galen's Tutaminis).

As you say, Galen is doing astronomically better than Arcann, given that only part of the lightning is actually hitting the latter, he wasn't able to advance on it and make Valkorion desperate, and TFU Sidious >>> weakened Valk.

But the key point here is that it's better than what Mace Windu can do against a weaker version of Sidious's lightning, at least in the Legends interpretation of the event where he probably would've lost had Sidious not feigned weakness.

The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection #48
Under Yoda's tutelage, Dooku became one of the greatest sword masters the Order had ever produced - eclipsed only by Mace Windu and Yoda himself.

Damn. I completely forgot about this one.

Can someone explain to me how that quote appeared in "Starships and Vehicle Collection #48" lol?

A much better question is why the same source has two different versions of the same sentence.

Each of the Starships and Vehicle Collection magazines are apparently organized into a group of subsections, three of which focus not on the vehicles covered in the issue, but rather on their history and pilots.

-In A Galaxy Far Far Away
-Droids, Aliens, and Creatures
-Did you know?

If it's there, it's likely to be in one of those.

Who would waste money on such a pointless magazine or time on such a pointless difference? All kinds of good questions here.

It's a bit concerning no one has access to them.

because it's a shit source lol

So, Elm, are we arguing Marek goes into Oneness here, otherwise I don't get why you keep trying to scale off of Sidious.

Galen only goes into "Oneness" for his final suicide blast (though it likely wasn't Oneness in the TUF sense, or else Palpatine would've died).

I have all the Vehicle Guides. I'm the one that brought them up.

Also DA I have scanned and messaged you this before.

Nice. If you'd like, could you check #26 and find out why A'Sharad/Krayt is mentioned for me? Could lead to some wank.

Gladly.

Well one, "completely and utterly embracing the Force," is Oneness in the only sense. Second, Marek went into Oneness and sacrificed himself because it was the only way to save his friends. To pretend he can defeat Sidious with all evidence, including TFU II, to the contrary just seems silly. Marek obviously isn't normally on Sidious' level of power.
