Sheev's supremacy debunked.
The New Essential Chronology is an in-universe source.
This is from a strictly Canon source that was later republished with a TFA section added on under the Disney Canon banner.
A character POV.
An interview with Jamy Wheless, the Lead Animator of ROTS. Thus, this is exclusively relevant to ROTS.
This is from a biographical segment of a one-off magazine that deals strictly with Vader's POV.
From a children's book that only refers to the 3D re-release of TPM.
This seems to be referring to political power as the entire section talks about his desire for that. It could be interpreted either way though, I suppose.
Are there any actual, legitimate sources that declare him Sith GOAT?

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
None of these make the quotes wrong, only fallible. But the multitude of them and the span of time, authors and works involved negates any reliability issue anyway.
You have taken them from my Comic Vine Darth Sidious Disrespect Thread.

However, knowledge must've been lost in some kind of Gravid-like incident, as Az turned out to be a mid-tier debater with a sub-par track record, sh!itting all over Tempest's legacy. Sad."

So, you who just posted a post claiming a rando on a junk station, and Jolee Bindo debunk be Malak > Kun quote because Karpyshyn admits it was his authorial intent.... are dismissing the Death Star quote as character POV?
Your double standards are legitimately disgusting lmao

You should probably consider that there's an objective quote stating that Exar Kun was as powerful as anything Luke had faced. I, Jedi just serves to shit on the old 'Kyp had all the power' lowballing that people used against Kun's feats against Luke despite other quotes having already stated otherwise.

"With the galaxy now ripe for conquest, the Emperor has become the most powerful Sith Lord of all and a master of the Dark Side of the Force, ordering the extermination of the Jedi Order with the aid of his apprentice, the deadly Darth Vader."
-- Legends Epic Collection: The Empire Volume 1
"Yoda was a master at masking his emotions, but not even he could hide them from the greatest Sith Lord ever known."
-- Clone Wars: Wild Space
"Their clash transcended the personal; when new lightning blazed, it was not Palpatine burning Yoda with his hate, it was the Lord of all Sith scorching the Master of all Jedi into a smoldering huddle of clothing and green flesh."
-- RotS novel
I mean, even if you "debunk" all of them and prove they aren't 100% concrete, there's still so many of them, across so many sources and so many eras of Star Wars writing that they are obviously pointing to a certain theme. That theme being: Palpatine is the MVP.
