Same with Kyle....
I guess it was important that THOSE Jedi master just hung out in the control room...;.
How old is Kyle by now? Gotta be decently old I imagine.
There are two books dedicated to Jaden Korr Crosscurrent and Riptide with just before FoTJ. I red Crosscurent. Jaden isn't all powerful there but rather versatile like Revan as he can use both light and darkside powers. He lost duel to Kam Solusar's clone, yet, still managed to kill him.
Then he encountered Anzat. Caught off-guard and tired from duel he couldn't break from Anzat's mental grip but before Anzat could consume his brain, another guy saved him.
Imho main factor for losing that duel was his state of mind at the time as he experienced deep doubts over his ability to use dark side and what is to be a Jedi in general. When he experienced fear, Force lightning was forming on his hands quite naturally.
Kyle is 66, 3 years older, than Luke, grand pa in other words.
Right now I read Red Harvest, which is about life in a Sith Academy. It ended up being horror with zombies.
Then I go for Riptide and Katarn books.
