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

UCanShootMyNova
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.

UCanShootMyNova
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 ).

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

Fated Xtasy
No one can say shit because Ants right lmao

UCanShootMyNova
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.

Geistalt
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.

Geistalt
Abeloth < Exar.

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

UCanShootMyNova
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.

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

UCanShootMyNova
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.

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

By Azronger's standards, the quote is legit.

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

That's kind of the only way to function in a Legends centered debating forum given all the contradictions that occur in a lore as big as SW.

I don't think Azronger would have Vitiate > Revan Reborn AFTER he fit this quote into his perspective tbh. So it'd be more like

Revan Reborn > Darth Revan > Exar Kun > PRE novel POST Nathema Vitiate which is more reasonable.

What? He didn't want to rip off the lid. He was just gently removing it.

If you read the book, he later hurls the lid instantly when needed.

DarthAnt66
Also, canonically, "contradictions" are meant with on a "case-by-case" basis. Thus, even if Nihilus is above Revan, that doesn't mean the quote doesn't apply to all the other Sith.

FreshestSlice
No, it's not legit because Revan isn't canon. You people are retarded. Is it an officially marketed Star Wars product? Sure. Does it make or break an argument? No. Accolades shouldn't mean shit around here anyway, but for some reason we keep taking them seriously.

Yeah well nobody else here agrees with you, so we're going to continue debating Legends Canon as if it's an alternative universe.

UCanShootMyNova
I don't care what their policy is. This entire discussion is about our own approach to canon interpretation. If we all abided by the established canon policy we'd all have stances more in line with Azronger's, a terrifying thought, wouldn't you agree?

Give me the quote where he hurls it instantly.

"The instant before they detonated, Revan reached out with the Force and hurled the heavy stone lid of the sarcophagus toward the grenades."

Geistalt
He has more impressive feats than that.

Like shredding (or, rather, blowing apart) durasteel.

You really should've led with it.

UCanShootMyNova
Fair enough. I'll look through the Revan novel. There just needs to be one example to contradict it.

"Blasting a door wide open" doesn't equate to blowing it apart/shredding it.

Revan does it seemingly instantly and without any noted strain. thumb up

UCanShootMyNova
*Shrug* If there aren't any active in universe contradictions to the quote like there are with Bane then it's contradicted by later quotes in regards to Vitiate and is thus invalidated.

DarthAnt66
So SWTOR Vitiate > Darth Revan > Kun?

Ye.

Leland Chee is the Keeper of the Holocron, and thus has the authority to dictate canon. A random graphic designer and a school teacher do not. laughing out loud

The distinction that needs to be understood here is between the source material itself, and a commentary on the source material. They are not the same. One is factual, the other is an intepretation of those facts. These are their own thoughts and opinions, nothing more.

How retarded can you be?

If it was fan fiction or a blog, it would be published on the WotC forum boards, which blogs are regularly posted.

It was instead posted on the official website, which had authorization from LucasArts.

I don't think you realize that quotes we regularly debate also come from these WotC web supplements, especially quotes involving Palpatine and Byss.

Geistalt

Beniboybling
Oh noes quotes involving Palpatine & Byss?! How will I cope. sad

And non-canon blogs are posted to SW.com every day. Utter fail of an argument.

right...

Maeks poifikt sense.

More sense than getting SW canon from my science teacher. eek!

RHaggis
Not sure what to think of it, if I'm honest. On the one hand the source of the quote is apparently shifty and has come under fire regarding its legitimacy. On the other, assuming it does fall under official C-canon status, then I'd rather not just ignore an entire source solely because I dislike its conclusion.

DarthAnt66
Beni had given absolutely no reasons for it not to be considered canon.

Show me a quote showing that these sorts of material are not canonical.

Otherwise it falls under Chee's quote as either a game.

Beniboybling
It doesn't fall under anything, and is not to be taken seriously. Bye.

DarthAnt66
None that I recall. The quote saying Droma is second to Kun and what-not doesn't mean what people say it does.

There's a reason these quotes have been known for decades and only recently, with a new anti-Vitiate brigade rising, that they're being interpreted so terribly.

Dooku and Sion (and Vader and Nihilus) are CL 19, while Obi Wan and Atris are CL 15. Maul is a pitiful CL 13. Traya (and Sidious and Yoda) are CL 20. Darth Bane, by the way, is the most powerful character from Saga Edition if I'm not mistaken. He's CL 20 with the highest stat array.

Atris - KotOR CG pg 141
Exile - as above pg 140
Traya - as above pg 158
Sion - as above 159
Nihilus - as above 160

Bane - Threats of the Galaxy pg 85
TPM Maul - as above pg 79

So, Bane ~ Sidious ~ Traya > Sion ~ Nihilus ~ Vader ~ Dooku > Obi Wan ~ Atris ~ Meetra > Maul smile smile smile

Yes, it's from WotC but the quote referring Bastila, Dooku and Obi Wan (and calling them second rate force users LMFAO) is from the miniature games.

Dooku's factually more skilled and powerful than Bastila as well as KotOR Revan, never mind Darth Revan.

Anyway, I know you don't actually take this quote and only do so if people are taking the Exar > Vitiate stuff, but you do realize the inherent contradiction in that, right? Darth Revan > Exar > Vitiate > Novel Revan. lol

Also, is this actually a Legends source?

Asked Leeland on Twitter. His answer can be interpreted differently, but regardless... thoughts?

That solved absolutely nothing.

We already know web articles are C-canon.

What does that have to do with... anything?

No? Vitiate w/ amp > Revan Reborn > Darth Revan > Kun > Vitiate w/o amp.

Uh, yeah?

I don't know who's who there. Quote me the relevant passages and who it's from.

There's a reason these quotes have been known for decades and only recently, with a new anti-Vitiate brigade rising, that they're being interpreted so terribly.

Then post an alternate interpretation. Oh wait, you already did and it was far more terrible than mine. smile

Anyone care to find the source of this quote?

If it's also meant to refer to their strength outside of the Miniatures, it places Bastila near Obi-Wan. Whatever that's supposed to mean. Still not a surprise, if Revan was one of the 3 most powerful Sith Lords as of May 2008.

The sentence before (not shown within the quote) clarifies it's within the continuity of the Star Wars Miniatureverse, in sharp distinction to Darth Revan's quotes where no notice was placed.

And non-canon blogs are posted to SW.com every day. Utter fail of an argument.

Regardess, I never said it was fan fiction, just not official source material.

Um, you do realize that SW.com and WotC are two entirely different websites, do you? So just because SW.com posts their non-canonical blogs on the official site, does not mean WotC does. If Ant is to be believed, WotC has all the non-canon stuff on the forum boards.

To give an example, they put up blogs concerning the capture of Darth Revan and what characters and stats to use for it on their forums.

That was just a blog.

This source, however, was specifically posted alongside all the rest. There's no reason not to count it that I can see.

Ah; thx @Az.

A notice is placed afterwards by them saying that they're trying to answer it with SW miniatures.

In any case, the quote can equally be interpreted as just referring to the general collective group of the most powerful Sith Lords (not necessarily the top three) and simply being represented here by Revan, Caedus and Palpatine, who are indeed among the most powerful. Sort of like this:

Sidious did.

Plagueis did.

Vitiate did.

Revan may have.

The fact they're answering the question within the Star Wars Miniature universe doesn't mean the question is asked within such. As I made clear, it wasn't since the most powerful Sith within that universe isn't Palpatine, Revan, and Caedus. It's probably Bane, Kun, and Droma.

No, it can't. All the most powerful Sith Lords would have a talent for Sith alchemy. Palpatine, Vitiate, Plagueis, etc. have all showed abilities in that field. Even if they never showed the ability, they would still have a talent for it by virtue of being the most powerful.

It has to do with this because it's a blatant contradiction. Dooku > KotOR Revan, never mind Darth Revan. Nihilus is also stated in KotOR II to be stronger than Darth Revan.

Dooku being more skilled has nothing to do with Darth Revan not being more powerful, lmfao.

The Revan novel states Darth Revan is more powerful than Nihilus, retconning KotOR II's quote regardless.
