After years of Kbroskywalker/Rockydonovang trying to hype Ahsoka up by claiming her showings against Vader and Maul were impressive as they were both "amped" by a darkside nexus without no real evidence , somebody finally tweeted to Matt Martin about his stance on nexuses in canon.

ayy lmao

They don't even know what a nexus is, don't know why'd ask that, lmao.

Good it's been confirmed that nothing more than conjecture supported it.

Yup

Tbf, he didn't formally 'debunk' anything there.

He debunked that anythings factual regarding combat advantages on a Canon Nexus specific to Sith or Jedi.

The source used as evidence from the Ahsoka camp was Henry Gilroy. Yet even he was clearly unsure, and stated to clarify from Filoni. And even he only applied to the flight abilities.

Most importantly he clarified ideas in Filoni/Gilroys minds are not canon until specifically made canon.


All we need now is for someone to ask Matt if Maul flailed backwards against Ahsoka due to her clear superiority, And watch him reply: ???

Yes but hes also basically saying, that even if he was there, ideas like that being tossed around are not canon. And that it hasnt made it into any official source as far as hes aware.

Not "necessarily" truth were his exact words.

Again, nothing in that tweet formally debunks anything. Dude outright says that he wasn't present for the discussions, so he can't speak to the implications one way or the other.

It's just a cluster**** to be honest. Chee seems to think author statements and opinions hold canonical weight, whereas the vast majority of authors I've seen comment on things (including Martin, Boyd and Karpyshyn) all think their opinions don't mean squat.

Wasnt that with the Old Canon? Now its all down to the story group I believe.

Well point is, Rocky/Kbro can't overhype Ahsoka anymore as he doesn't have any definitive proof that she contended with Vader and Maul on a DS nexus

^ He never did have any lol. But that never stopped him.

He still claims Ahsoka forced Maul back due to her superiority.

Also frankly guys, I think there's way too much stock being put into these people's words when it comes to SW. Yeah, I get it these guys are authors of certain things/stories, but when they don't really give a clear answer then that should tell you something. SW seems to be the only one where I constantly see people bug the authors about every little thing.

^ Hes not an author. Hes part of the story group.

Author/Story group, my point is the same.

Yeah but I think the Story Group guys should be expected to answer questions. Novelists on the other hand... The kind of questions fans ask is probably beyond most of them.

They're both probably underrated.

Yeah, well, critical thinking becomes comfirmation bias when you try to fit the evidence into desired conclusions.

Anyway, here. Since screenplay writing is hard, i'll spend a few seconds to clear this up by reposting the link I've posted but people have undoubtedly refused to read multiple times with because it doesn't align with the world view of sw powersets that they've become emotionally attached to.

Notice the use of multiple offical sources . As always if contrary evidence is provided, then i'm open to this being debunked. But asking a dude a question and disregarding when he claims he isn't sure is the height of cognitive dissonance.

Oh and here's another source posted in the comments:

Like I said: Martin didn't formally debunk anything with this particular Twitter post. Directing a faux-intellectual rant towards me doesn't change that.

As mentioned, in the same breath Martin explicitly stated that he wasn't present for the discussions, so he couldn't speak to the implications either way. Therefore, his statement should not be construed as incontrovertible fact... Quite the opposite, actually.


I don't have a stake in this whole 'nexus debate' one way or the other(literally couldn't care less.) Again, I am just commenting on the inadmissibility of this specific post of his.

There is still no evidence in canon that these so called "darkside nexuses" hinder lightside users

Using official sources doesn't make you right.

Matt Martin is also an official source.

Point is nobody official (and no official source) has confirmed anything regarding the matter.

Point still stands though. I have seen many of your posts on CV regarding Ahsoka helding her own against Maul and Vader on "a darkside nexus". Even if darkside nexuses exist in canon, we have no way to gauge how powerful they are as compared to the legends version of nexuses, we also don't know if they hinder light side users. But judging from the episode itself, it clearly doesn't, as Ahsoka was doing just fine against Maul and Vader. (unless there is some kind of PIS involved like in virtually every Rebels episode)

Malachor V is both a Dark Side nexus and a Wound in The Force.

When Bao-Dur's Mass Shadow Generator was activated, it cleansed most of the Force on the planet, but it was not strong enough to penetrate Trayus Academy's structure. And this is why there is still the presence of the darkness felt in that place.

Ok...?

But, still, most people don't know that.

You know thinking about Malachor in the D canon sense, anyone else notice that in all of Rebels, many of the planets were...very bland and uninteresting?

Yeah. The planets are very reflective of the overall show.

^ S7.

Well the scripts were written long ago when TCW was in production, so hopefully its good.

I want to see a canon series about a Force sensitive serial killer who kills other non/Force sensitive serial killers.
