In the interest of fairness, here is the beginning paragraph of Exar Kun's entry in the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia:

"Exar Kun Once the most powerful and dangerous of the Dark Lords of the Sith, he was responsible for the deaths of millions four millennia before the Rise of the Empire. Killed by an overwhelming force of Jedi, the dark spirit of Exar Kun survived across the vastness of time to challenge Luke Skywalker and a new group of Jedi trainees."

With one of the new LotF books (Faunus pointed it out) mentioning that Caedus is "the most powerful of the Sith Lords" and now this, Palpatine seems to be having some stiff competition.

Discuss.

I question the validity of such statements, as they seem to be attempts by the writer's poetic license to make the subject seem even more important and influential by adding the "one of the most powerful" idiom.

Well, to be fair, Exar Kun was rather impressive. The amulet blasts, his skill with a lightsaber, and the required force to terminate his life (both times).

They're canon statements. I'm not going to subscribe to Illustrious's inane theory of "disregard all of it I don't like" (which is why I made this thread), and with work, I'm sure most if it can fit into a cogent continuity.

Once the most powerful. When Exar was alive, who was his competition? Ulic? Aleema?

Interpretation is a factor, but I'll play devil's advocate and point out that the quote can be taken as -- when he was alive -- he was the most powerful of the Dark Lords of the Sith.

There was no other Dark Lord of the Sith at the time, so it could refer to the Sith Lords that preceded Kun or, perhaps, the most powerful of the Sith ever.

I would like to call to attention the dodgy choice of words. "ONCE the most powerful and dangerous of the dark lords of the sith". ONCE. during his era, i'm pretty sure nobody is willing to argue that he was the most powerful and dangerous. After bigger, better things, like revan, nihilus, bane, and sideous came along, he would have no longer been the most powerful.

eh. his feats contradict the quote if its to be taken as the most powerful including all the eras. he simply has never displayed the skills required to be in even the top 5.

You're kidding, right?

i dont go by quotes and hearsay i go by feats and showings and their personalities. so i suppose on kmc and by kmc rules the quote may very well apply and be valid. but otherwise... i dont buy it.

Gideon that quote about Caedus was downplayed and replaced with "one of the most powerful sith lords of all time". Exar Kun, while impressive, had 6 months to study Sadow's knowledge, and only really Sadow's knowledge. I would venture to say that Nadd had more knowledge than Kun, which included King Adas' holocron, and Nadd's holocron which took Bane 10 years to learn.

Not that i don't trust you but can i have a link confirming that Caedus's quote was edited (I assume the quote we are talking about derived from from Star Wars Blood Oath's publisher summary)?

I can't think of too many sith more powerful.

He froze the entire Senate with a simple spell and pwned Vodo. He also managed to tear Luke's spirit out of his body and create evil "birds" out of the dark side... That is pretty damn powerful.

Not to mention his ambulet blasts that can shatter stone.

Originally posted by ares834

and how do you know how much prep and or meditation went into that spell? he never used it in combat once. hell he never used it again period.




the same vodo who never did anything remarkable except for make his stick somewhat lightsaber proof?





he didnt do it alone. and ultimately luke defeated with the help of... a baby.



not really that impressive when you take into consideration the grad daddy powers displayed by other sith and jedi.

So. Its an impressive display of power regardless if it had prep. Also the fact that they didn't freeze untill he walked in implies that it dosn't require prep unless he can some how hold it in and save it for later.


Luke is the most powerfulk Jedi ever, of course he beat Kun. Regardless he still tore out his spirit which is very impressive even if someone was helping him.


The fact that no other force user has ever done something remotely similar is a testiment to its power. And what "grad daddy powers" are you talking about?

Originally posted by WO Polaski

Who would you say is top tier?

Luke, Yoda, Sidious, Caedus, Andeddu, Muur, sith emperor.

What puts the sith emperor above Kun?

The last three definitely need substantiation.

we dont know either way. the fact that he never used it again or even attempted to use it in a combat situation or otherwise implies that he cant do it whenever he wants to.




he tore it out with the aid of kyp durron one of the strongest force users in terms of sheer brute strength in the entire mythos. no proof or implications that he could have done so by himself. hell for all we know kyp may have been doing most of the work.




what? naga sado created tons of monsters using sith magic. in fact thats where kun learned the ability. in addition plagueis did the same thing and a group of no-name dark jedi did it to recreate darth maul. using the force to create creatures isnt a unique ability and as weve seen only requires time and knowledge not necessarily power.



creating a sentient being, force storms capable of ripping apart space-time itself and teleportating people, manipulating black holes, draining an entire planets civilization of its life force, pulling objects out of a sun, etc.

Not possibly to you, though. You only go by showings.

Oh, and.... possibly Yoda? Yoda pretty much is the shit.

possibly because he has an assload of showings. only problem is that we have no diea which are canon and which arent.


yoda isnt the the shit compared to the ones ive listed.

If it took prep time the illustrators would have made it obvious that he was "charging up" his powers.


Just because he didn't use it in combat, doesn't mean he won't.
Was there a threat or opponent dangerous enough for him to use it on?

No and before you bring up "oh he could have used it on vodo", well he simply made it obvious he wanted to tool his master in a pure lightsaber match.

I don't care if its "possibly" revan, you yourself made it clear that you go only by feats.

And how many people had he actually faced during his reign as the dark lord of the sith, let alone anyone dangerous enough to use it on? The last i recall the only guy exar kun actually bothered to fight was vodo and ulic and these were merely lightsaber duels.

You claim he can't use it in combat, then you prove it. The burden of proof is on you.

If thats the case when was the last time sidious used a force storm to kill his opponents? Oh right because he never used it in a combat situation, it means he never ever will.

Oh, vader has never used his force crush technique(that destroyed a massive hut that was as durable and hard as steel) so it means that he never will and cannot do so in a combat situation.

I don't see sidious unleashing his entire aresenal of force powers in a fight yet whenever we debate sidious vs someone we always argue that he will use technique so and so despite the fact that he "has never shown it in a combat situation".

Just because these people don't showcase some of their powers in a fight doesn't mean they won't use it.

Mind you that kyp was merely a student at that time and had yet to even achieve a fraction of his potential.

My arguments for Kun sure go a long way.

Yes advent i did get quite a number from you, but i did so because i found them very very convincing.

if youre really a body builder id say youre immensely strong. but immensely is a relative term. im a 19 year old girl who used to have borderline anorexia.

"cant". you mean cant. he never used it outside that one time then died.

an entire acadamy? you mean, about 10-20 people? 10-20 people that had less then a months worth of force training?




that i did.




and how does this prove he can do so? because hes never used it more then once that alone is proof that he can do it whenever?



cant prove a negative. but regardless im not proving anything. hes never used it in a combat situation so i have no reason to believe he can.



besides the fact that we saw him use it on a fleet and we saw him concoct it?



we know for a fact how force choke works and how it is cast. weve seen it used in combat before.



you wont see me arguing that sideous can use a certain power that he has never used in combat before unless the ability has been fully explained and we know how it works.



just because theyve shown to use it in X situation doesnt automatically mean they can use it in Y either.




yeah i know. thats why i consider him to be such a powerhouse.

The lack of Nihilus is disturbing.
Or has Exar, Caedus, Sith Emperor or Revan destroyed planets, pulled ships out of gravity wells and held them together out of pure power?
Didn't think so.

But yeah it goes, for me:

1. Palpatine
2. Nihilus
3. Kun
4. Bane
5. Caedus

forgot about nilhilus.

He was described as "immensely" strong due to the fact that he IS immensely strong in the force.

No, its "didn't" considering the fact that vodo and ulic were the only people he actually faced as his reign as the dark lord.

Your the one making the claim he can't use it so you prove it, it isn't a negative.

you forget how his freezing technique falls under sith sorcery which
has been employed in combat by several other characters(think of people like aleema keto, mighella and the nightsisters).

Your claiming he can't ever use it in combat simply because he has never done so, i'm simply arguing that there wasn't anyone else to use it on hun. But then again ill give you the details below.

That is horrible logic my friend, how does not showcasing your powers in a duel means you cannot use it at all when you choose? Why do you avoid the question? Or are you simply too unintelligent to answer the question and start throwing fallacies? What do you have to backup this horrid logic of yours?

Oh wait i forgot how you only go by feats so therefore that quote is non existant and non applicable and hence the force storm cannot be summoned by palpatine in a duel.

Holy shit i also forget that because revan never demonstrated the force storm lightning technique,(despite the source book stating it is one of his powers) it means he can't do so simply because we have never seen him do so!


OH MY i still forget how mace windu never demonstarted telekinesis in a fight, it means he cannot do so at all!!!!!

Ok then, you forgot that technique exar used to freeze asses is sith magic, sith sorcery and the fact that it has been used in combat before by several individuals(think of mighella or aleema).

Nice try hun, you just shot yourself on the foot.

The thing is it HAS been fully explained if you ever actually read the comic or the DSSB, that technique was a sith spell and sith spells has been SHOWN in combat before, i already explained in the above.

Or go read the TOTJ comics, they show sith spells and sith sorcery being utilized in combat.

Yoda stalemated one of the ones you listed in a force and saber duel.

Since you go by showings alone, Yoda should be top-dog to you. Yoda took out a small army of King Alaric's troops with a wave of his hand. On Rugosa Yoda used the force to easily catch an avalanche of maybe a ton of free falling boulders in mid-air, right after he shamed Ventress with the force. During the battle of Coruscant Yoda used the force to lift entire landing crafts, and slam them into each other.

Yoda was one of the few ever to be able to absorb and redirect force lightning with his bare hands. He even absorbed the lightning of the most powerful Sith Lord in history.

And that is only some of Yoda's feats.

Very well, then you have my sincere apologies, i tend to go overboard when i get into debates sometimes.

Nevertheless this is a good debate, i have listed all my points already as to why exar might be a top 5 tier kind of guy, if you still choose to argue and debate the issue, then i have nothing left to say even if you reply to my last post.

But just remember that despite your opinions, i have mine and both of us are inclined to disagree.

So once again my apologies and it was a rather good debate

Oh and thank you for your patience, a certain moderator i know would have slapped me with a ban if i acted aggressive.

I consider the sith emperor and Muur top tier largely because of their knowledge. Muur managed to transfer his consciousness into his talisman, which created raghouls, and lived for almost 7,000 years as a spirit. The Sith Emperor somehow managed to survive over 1,400 years. They all had these ridiculous darkside healing techniques.

Knowledge doesn't = power though. Sidious himself states this. Also, Andenddu got his butt whooped by Wyyrlok, so I doubt he'd be in the top tier, or at least not above said Wyyrlok.

I'd say 5 or 6. Maybe 7.

but in the end he is still required to perform it with an amulet. despite it channeling his own power it is not something he can do by himself. mmm

But your claim it was not of his own power which i am refuting, not weather he needed the amulet to do it or not.

youre misudnerstanding what i said my friend. by saying that he could not do it under his own power what i mean is that he can not do it by himself. i was not referring specifically to his "force power".

No you didn't, you clearly stated that it was not his own power.

"not his own power" - Ms marvel

EDIT: If you truly meant it that way you would have mentioned "He could not do it without the aid of the amulet despite it being his own power".

thats what i said yeah. and thats what i meant.

No you didn't you claim he could not do it because the amulet was not his power(your claiming the beam is conjured by the amulets energy, not his own) when the facts state that the amulet merely channels his power into a beam.

where did i say that the beam itself makes up its own energy? if i did say that then i apologize but i dont remember saying it. can you quote it for me?

Well, if your saying that its not of exar kuns own power, your implying that the force energy produced by the amulet is from the amulet by itself and that the energy wasn't from kun.

Thats the impression some of us might get.

But i don't know why im arguing this now, aleema performed the same "force blast" without an amulet so now im getting a head ache.

Well the impression i got from her at least was that she was implying the energy/power came from the amulet and not kun himself.

No one said you were...

However, Miss would be generally right in that respect since the gauntlet is stated to amplify his rage a thousand fold. That same rage is then focused into the amulet to produce those destructive blasts of energy. Without using the gauntlet as a conduit, the blasts we see against Aleema, for example, aren't even shown to singe her dress.

Alright but can we conclude that exar is a top tier combatant because in my opinion i believe he is.

In regards to the amulet so what it does is actually amplify exar kuns powers when he unleashes them or something like that?

I'm guessing anyone who knows sith magic is familiar with the technique.

DS
I'm guessing anyone who knows sith magic is familiar with the technique. Why?

Consider how few people actually practiced Sith magic with any degree of proficiency; the Ketos, Kun, Nadd, Zannah, presumably a host of ancient Sith, and some random Bothan shown on the Wikia. Aleema Keto used the power to no effect against Exar Kun before he reaches his peak. I had already assumed that the ancients were familiar with the ability, considering it'd been passed down through the amulets. Zannah is given a scroll detailing the use of a select few spells, IIRC, and Bane himself is entirely unfamiliar with the brand of Force use.

Kun's amulet still amplifies the power of the blasts exponentially, which is an advantage other potential practitioners of the technique don't have. At the end of the day, I'm not seeing the changes.

Why?

Consider how few people actually practiced Sith magic with any degree of proficiency; the Ketos, Kun, Nadd, Zannah, presumably a host of ancient Sith, and some random Bothan shown on the Wikia. Aleema Keto used the power to no effect against Exar Kun before he reaches his peak.

The change being the fact that the "amulet blast" is just part of sith magic. In fact, I think Ulic did some sort of blast with his sith talisman to get Nomi and the Jedi away from him. So the "amulet blasts" don't see exclusive to Exar Kun.

This doesn't "destroy" any arguments unless it means the attack is any less lethal than it was before. It isn't. And the "amulet blasts" are as exclusive as they've always been, because you need the amulet to create blasts of that magnitude.

Fair enough. It sheds new light on the evidence though.

In the highly canonical RotS Video game...

did that particular segment contradict anything we saw in the movies or the other established canon?

Yeah. Drallig is confirmed to die rather quickly, with a slash through the shoulder, in both DN and apparently a SW Insider article. Not to mention the entire opening sequence.

It does, not to mention that Drallig is a Jedi... and this Force Blast power is Sith Magic.

Now, maybe I'm way off base, but I don't think Cin Drallig knew or practiced Sith Magic.
