C. I don't use S for anything new, just the older stuff.

How about the status of the other question? IE: Movie contradicting EU feats of power and speed

Hi Tasty Taste.

Is "Boba Fett: A Practical Man" considered a NJO ebook? I haven't read it, but I understand that it occurs over the period of the Yuuzhan VOng War.

I take it nobody is going to answer my Marka Ragnos question?

Being a huge Marka Ragnos fan, I just wanted to know where he ranks among the most powerful sith lords ever. The way he was always described made me think that he was the most powerful Sith Lord ever until sources came up with Sidious being the most powerful. Can you shed some light on this please?

I don't know for sure but I would imagine that there are no hard and fast lists about which Sith are the most powerful. "Most Powerful" would have lots of different variables to take into account. So it may be best to say that he was simply amongst the most powerful Sith along with Sidious and whoever else there may be. It you definitively say that one Sith was the most powerful then by definition any others that you create in the EU must be inferior so I doubt the continuity people make such absolutes about the powerfulness of the characters. Of course, I could be wrong though.

Agreed, us continuity people don't deal in absolutes. Only Sith deal in absolutes.
With that said, we'll often need to come up with stats or rankings for gameplay purposes. These are for gameplay purposes only. Stunt coordinato Nick Gillard had his own lightsaber ranking, but even the use of this ranking system is limited because it was only the major characters from the prequel films that he ranked. We never expanded on that ranking system.

Right, one question Leland: say if we were having a debate on who was the most powerful sith ever, and a random sourcebook states that Sidious is, would that make it absolute, and render the discussion over, or would is still only be a matter of opinion and still up for debate?

Hi Tasty!

2 questions:
1 about the "Shadows of the Empire" videogame:
I was under the impression that Boba Fett destroyed three of the four IG-88-units himself (2 over Tatooine, 1 in Cloud City) and that the last one blew up with the second Death Star.
Is the duel between Dash Rendar and IG-88 on Ord Mantell considered canon? If so, which unit is this supposed to be (A-D) and how did it survive the encounter with Fett?

2: How many days/months ABY does "Vader's Quest" take place?

Thank you.

Right there. Scource books are always going to give a up to this point POV. It'll always fall back to opinion.

1 more question LC, we're debating to what extent PoD retconned BotS at the KMC forums, and I was curious, does Revan's holocron and the fact that Bane came up with the Rule of Two from it contradict the fact that Bane came across Nadd's holocron at all?

Hi Tasty!

I just received the information that the Tector-class Destroyer which is briefly mentioned in the RotS-Cross-Sections actually appears in RotJ. I couldn't believe it, so I searched for proofs and stumbled across this image. Well, that looks a lot like an Imperial-class Destroyer someone turned upside down. I suppose the RotJ-appearance was just made up by a fan then? Or is there any other visual proof for it?

Thank you.

...nearly forgot it. (Sorry for double posting

)

There seems to be some confusion about the origins of Loje Nella, a character from RotJ whose likeness most prominently appeared in the CCG. There, he is described to be a descendant of the cliffborer worms.
The cover of "Jedi Apprentice: The Shattered Peace" features a slightly altered version of this image to portrait a Rutanian.
Is there any connection between the species of Loje Nella and the Rutanians or are these just two similar looking species?

Thank you.

There's always going to be room for interpretation and debate. Is the power being measured referring to his mastery over the dark side of the Force, the governmental powers he wields as Emperor, or some combination of both?

Is the duel between Dash Rendar and IG-88 on Ord Mantell considered canon?
IG-88A: Uploaded into Death Star II core
IG-88B: Destroyed by Boba Fett on Cloud City
IG-88C: Destroyed in orbit above Tatooine
IG-88D: Destroyed by Dash Rendar on Ord Mantell

That is indeed what the author was referring to when he came up with the name for the Tector-class.

Similar-looking species, with any possible connection yet to be established. Loje Nella is actually a Riorian, since the Rioirian image shown in the RPG Wanted by Cracken is Ep VI concept art for the character referred to by production as the Toadstool Terror.

Is this canon, and what kind? I know toys are C-canon, but these Force Files I'm a bit more unsure about.

Thanks in advance.
