5 or 6

Kosmos Supreme
Stops at 7 if this is Prime Exar Kun, otherwise 5 or 6

Yes.

Exar Kun was capable of tackling Luke Skywalker (as of DE). Do you believe that any member of Team 4 can contend with him? He will steamroll any opponent and then proceed to turn the tide of the entire confrontation.

Ulic Qel-Droma isn't far behind Exar Kun either. He will also soundly tackle any member of Team 4.

Jedi Master Vodo is not outmatched in this contest either. He is good in melee combat and also have a number of esoteric abilities in his repertoire.

NewGuy01
Well, that's not exactly true. JA Luke is honestly decidedly less impressive than he was in his darker DE days, and it was Kyp and Kun together that defeated him.



He sorta kinda is, tbh.

Except he is stated to have gotten stronger with every struggle, he is just more conservative with his powers after DE. Something completely irrelevant when it is stated Luke went all-out defensively and nothing he did proved to be of any use. He got stomped. Kun in his prime is more powerful than he is as a spirit, that is made abundantly clear.

While tapping into the nexus of Yavin 4, Kyp's energies, etc. But nice job omitting that thumb up

You mean the energy Durron considered feeble compared to Kun's



Or the energy that wasn't sufficient enough to regain his flesh and blood body and use powers he had access to when living?





Are you actually suggesting Kyp Durron provided majority of the power behind the conflict there?

Hell, why bother mentioning the nexus when its pretty clear from implicit information that Kun's weaker in this form with the nexus than he would have been alive given he can't use some of his powers?

I mean, I know you have a boner for Nexuses and shit, but its pretty easy to pivot around performances like Bastila's on the Star Forge as both Sith Apprentice and Redeemed Jedi to determine they're negligible in the grand scheme of things for anyone of significant enough power in the first place :hmm

Or Thon's more infamously on Ambria for a fun laugh :maybe

ChaosTheory123
Nah

Seriously though

When can I start tacking on a high numeric multiplier to Thon on neutral ground for the virtue of matching the most powerful Dark Side nexus in the galaxy known to the Jedi at the time of the Freedon Nadd Uprising while extremely hindered?

Thon's just a ****ing beast like that and all~

Incidentally, Thon's also much weaker than Kun :hmm

carthage
Exar's feats off of Yavin are ****ing laughably bad, On Yavin he could disintegrate Massassi/blow gaping holes in Temple walls and then on Onderon all he did was blast Aleema back, he got put on his ass by Odan Urr who doesn't even register to Luke in feats. and not even his Force stun failed to work on Ulic, Vodo, or the Jedi present. Vader, Dooku, and Malgus have better unamped force feats than that



While Kyp was on a heavy darkside world that enables force users to atomize beings, move Star destroyers out of Solar systems, and create Planetary illusions that trick Vong ships. Totes legit comparison thumb up

So are Yamcha's in Dragon Ball

His best feats are dying

He's as powerful as Saiyan Saga Goku at his height

The wonders of powerscaling~



Its kind of awe inspiring how you use a good feat for Keto's durability to downplay Kun's power :hmm

Amazingly, interpretation works both ways buddy



Why the **** do you guys use rag dolling as a legit indicator of power anyway?

So many variables, so much room to **** up, and you all choose something as unreliable as assuming their Force Defenses are always on and cranked to the max~



His power cast over wide net of people was spread too thinly to incapacitate ****ers of reasonable power?

Who'd of guessed~



Its a thing of beauty that you manage to say so much yet do so little with your words

Address my actual question

Why are you assuming Durron's providing most of the power of the pair?



Yes

I'm so impressed by gigajoules for breaking molecular bonds of a total human sized mass~



Given FTL KE is impossible to quantify, I suppose I can just reference their peak reactor output

Something like 7 * 10^24 watts per ship? 16 of them right?

Amazingly, more or less comparable to razing a planet or matching a solar flare like the nexus on Ambria was formed from~



So, you avoid my actual questions on Nexuses

Care to try again with your next response? :hmm

I'm all for taking potshots at substance-less crap, but could you make it somewhat worth my while?

Laughable lowballing is laughable.

Exar Kun freezing 10,000s-100,000s of people whilst shitting on Vodo who could WoL (with Nomi for aid) Ulic Qel-Droma, a guy who is easily Maul tier in the Force, is a feat far beyond Dooku.

He also casually barriered starfighter attacks. And before his prime as a Sith shrugged off Odan-Urr's attempt to sever him from the Force on a light side nexus. Odan-Urr is the greatest sever force practitioner in the mythos fyi.

Exar Kun's spirit being a nexus of Dark Side energy and being stated to have hugely contributed to Yavin's dark energies in SWTOR makes that pretty irrelevant. He is even stated to draw on the temples to merely keep his will together, it provides no real power for him.

Simply put Kyp draws off of a focal point in the temple he's on and is still feeble in comparison to Kun. Pretty impressive admittance given this is the same Kyp that believes himself stronger than Luke is. What is very telling is that Luke believes Kyp would become another Vader if he turned to the Dark Side.

Kun is at his weakest in the end of the JA trilogy. His sole source of energy Kyp is at the ends of the galaxy actively fighting Kun's influence. The energy he drained from Gantoris was all used up attacking Luke. Streen had stopped Kun's control over him altogether.

Despite that he's choking out Dorsk 81, Kam Solusar, Streen, Brakiss, Cilghal, Tionne, Jacen & Jaina amped by a meld that made them all stronger. These are the same students that Luke states have near mastery over all the techniques he could teach and knights them all as the Order's new generation of champions.

Kun has plenty of very impressive feats in all of his appearances, hell in SWTOR his talisman is so powerful that when SoR Nox tries to use it, she gets mindf*cked by it and blasted a good thirty feet through the air.

Suddenly the Rodian slave's claim that the earth shook with Exar Kun's power isn't so farfetched.

ChaosTheory123
Wouldn't put stock in the Rodian's words barring arguing the Rodian was implying Kun used that to intimidate it as a bartering tactic tbh

I don't doubt he has that kind of power, given shaking the ground hardly takes that much energy depending on the magnitude and range, but using the word of the Rodian to confirm he did it without some kind of extra argument accompanying it isn't a good idea

Especially with a non Force sensitive

He was a slave on Yavin IV during the Kun war, he states that when Kun walked near him the ground was shaking with power. I.E he wasn't doing anything but walking, his presence caused the localised quake. I agree he is hardly an irrefutable source of info but then I wasn't saying it was a canon feat in the first place.

Thon's just a ****ing beast like that and all~

Incidentally, Thon's also much weaker than Kun :hmm

Thon demands justice for having his awesome powers be ignored so long :hmm

I mean, a nexus this powerful, and seeing as nexus are either high multiplicative boosts (double digits or higher clearly from previous discussions here on feats that aren't able to be replicated off Nexus) to exponential (seems to be how it reads at times, but that just might be communal ignorance to orders of magnitude~) for dark siders? Thon is clearly a nigh untold beast in the Force off a nexus as potent as Ambria's was.

I'm bored and putting off important shit, why do you ask?

AncientPower
Yeh, Thon's a monster in the Force. Ambria is stated to be the strongest nexus the Jedi Order had ever found by that time and despite Thon being exhausted, the guy (presumably) single-handedly performs a planet-wide wall of light that traps all of the Dark Side energy into Lake Nath.

Exar Kun is stated to be 'far more powerful than any other Jedi of his day'.

ChaosTheory123
He's clearly even more of a monster than typically given credit for though with how powerful Carthage's nexuses appear to be :hmm

After all, if they serve to be great multipliers or exponential boosts, clearly they're great divisors to square root nerfs for light siders

And Ambria's nexus was formed from a planet being razed and compared to Naga Sadow's solar flares on the Corsair implicitly~

AncientPower
It was caused by an ancient Sith sorceress whom basically constructed the Empire State building of Sith monoliths and then she f*cked up the massive ritual she undertook and it annihilated the surface of the planet.

ChaosTheory123
Indeed it was

And Thon contained it all in a Lake for over 4000 years while exhausted

And obviously hindered to hell~

Emperordmb
well you guys just raped Carthage using his own nexus wank

Congratulations. I approve.

I've debated Endless Mike on NarutoForums

The devils advocate I play here doesn't really compare to the thought I have to give his posts tbh :hmm

Laughable lowballing is laughable.



So no reason why he utterly fails to kill Aleema, and can't even stun weaker force users than he is when according to you he is more powerful than any Jedi of his era (including Ulic?). Nice consistency there in your statements





Its only implied but not shown, the bombings aren't even going off in his immediate vicinity in the scan. As far as I'm aware Ossus is force neutral, and was only powerful in the force due to the high concentration of Jedi and even a darksider like Sedriss was able to tap into it. Its hardly a "lightside nexus", so if Odan can put Exar on his ass when Exar can't even kill someone he's supposedly "more canonically" powerful than- burden of proof falls on you to show how he's more powerful than Peak Luke.




What are you talking about Yavin was already corrupted far more immensely even before Exar arrived there. So his spirit contributed nothing if anything at all, and he needed to be aided by other force users on top of drawing on the temple. That's all besides the point of Exar's force feats being demonstrably inferior to Luke at his peak or even as of Dark Empire



None of these excuses prove that Exar is near and or even close to Luke in power.



Which was further exacerbated by being on Yavin, which also makes Exar look far more impressive than he is. Its hardly a coincidence, lol




His amulet while amplified by Yavin isn't really his own power, so its completely beside the point to any discussion in comparison to him and Luke. And it only accomplished that due to sitting on Yavin.



Coming from your dumbass lol

ChaosTheory123

You're not much for entertainment dude :hmm

Did you actually edit his name to read "empress"?

Are you ****ing 5? :lmao

Should I just apologize now?

I feel like I'm picking on a little kid for laughs now :hmm

None of which calls into question the fact Exar's best showings are when he's on Yavin, if you want to delude yourself into thinking he's capable of similar feats on neutral ground by using units of measurement applicable to real life, completely subjective powerscaling assessments, and ignoring feats than have at it.





Its awe inspiring that on Yavin he can utterly blow apart Massassi, but fail to do the same on someone he's supposedly more powerful than. I'm not seeing how her durability factors into it, the blasts clearly aren't of the same potency for the aforementioned reason of Exar being on a nexus.




Because its the general assumption that a powerful force user can dominate a lesser powerful force user? But that's beside the point seeing as Odan Urr didn't "Ragdoll" him, all he did was blast him back. Not that it would be any more reliable than any of your usual metrics of "kilojoules", powerscaling, or any of the other tools you regularly employ on your discussions on this forum



In a discussion where AP implies Exar is next to Luke, I'd say it warrants a discussion, lol



I don't know where to begin seeing as I don't value powerscaling as an argument, unless the users being compared have showings to base a comparison on i,e Exar being more powerful than Nadd, Sadow, Muur- so it would be difficult to entertain any discussion on those merits. The examples I listed all take place on the same planet Exar was on, and are all evidence of the powerful force presence there along with all sorts of quotes from different eras that have been posted Ad nauseam on this forum regarding how powerful Yavin is in relation to the feats of force users. A few inconsistent examples like your Bastila example, really don't detract from the main point that Exar Kun offworld really has nothing to put him on Luke's tier or even Vader's for that matter so I see it as moot.

ChaosTheory123
That's better buddy :maybe

In summation

You want to keep randomly assuming shit about given feats as opposed to actually using a legit measurable metric to establish comparisons?

Who exactly is the deluded one buddy? :hmm

This hobby fails on many levels, but I can at least be assured I'm at least trying to use some objective metric to gauge feats here.



Are you that simple minded to assume just because he's superior she can't hold some fraction of his power?

And why do you selectively use conservation of energy when convenient?

Either go full tilt with it or say **** it

Anything in between is wishy washy garbage *shrugs*



So

We're going the "Thon is a ****ing monster" route :hmm




Why?

They're human sized masses and the energies needed to move them are pithy

Its even worse when you toss non force sensitives into the mix who should be ****ing powder under the logic you guys work with

Its better to use beam o war shit, because you can at least be sure they're putting their all into the attack in bloodlust sans different context




Semantics are just boring



So me comparing shit to real world values isn't legit where as your eyeballing biased assumptions that subconsciously draw on the same shit anyway are?

That's cute~

No, go ahead

Explain why a given feat is impressive without referencing some form of physics



Don't see the gap being much more than maybe 2 times weaker than that given incarnation of Luke being generous with how much power Durron contributed myself

So, instead of ignoring the question

Discuss

Don't run away

At least not until I grow bored of playing devils advocate with you~



This is traditionally called "moving the goal posts"

So, other than opinion based shit, anything else?



You're doing that "saying nothing with too much" thing again

Yes, nexus are powerful, but why are you assuming they're some kind of massive amp where performances by light siders on powerful Nexus shit on that interpretation hard? :hmm



"I don't like it, it didn't happen"

Really?

You mean when she attacked him with sorcery that casually chars people to skeletons, he blocks it and knocks her into next week before dueling Ulic to a standstill that could have gone on for hours? I'm sorry I just applied context to a feat instead of blatantly lowballing it like you did.

Oh and he applied it specifically to the entire senate and stomped Vodo whilst maintaining it. Care to list a feat from Dooku, Malgus or even Vader that compares to freezing potentially tens of thousands of people casually whilst stomping a powerful Jedi Master that can temporarily strip Ulic of his powers.

It's stated he strides across the floor untouched by fire and shrapnel, sorry it's not plain enough for you. Want the author to hold your hand on the way to walmart too or are you purposefully being dense?

Ossus was a Jedi Woodstock at that point in time, Odan-Urr fails to cut a pre-prime Kun off from the Force, only capable of knocking him back. But hey with your logic we can confirm Grand Inquisitor > Kanan & Ezra > Vader. Lets get back to making some f*cking sense shall we? Odan-Urr fails to cut off Kun from the Force, knocks Kun back, Kun then one-shots him proving he is indeed far more powerful than any Jedi of his day. As stated in sourcebooks.

You mean besides him stomping Luke despite having nowhere near his full power?

Kun is felt as a powerful presence as well as Valkorion and Revan.

We already know all the temple could do was provide Kun the ability to maintain his will.

For Kun to resurrect himself, he needs to drain all of Luke's students. We also know that Kun could only use some of his powers despite having Kyp, Streen and Gantoris as sources of energy.

Not once is JA Kun as powerful as he was in his living prime, the author already confirmed he was more poserful in Tales of the Jedi.

Stop lowballing and provide a solid argument or I'll assume you've conceded and can only lowball from this point on.

ChaosTheory123
FYI

In regards to explaining feats as impressive without physics?

Take "atomization" out of your vocabulary for the post

You just used a physics concept to tell me why something is so powerful

Hell, just referencing the mass or size of an object?\

Say an ISD?

Physics and math~

You use your lack of precision and ignorance as a crutch

Sure, I can barely say I'm competent with the basics, but that understanding alone at least lets me dance circles around you *shrugs*

carthage
I'm not assuming anything, broski. I can post the scans where his blast just hurls Aleema, and then post the Yavin scans where he's destroying Sith wyrms, blowing holes in the temple, and atomizing Massassi. Here's a hint one of these things isn't like the other, and your burden of proof is to show he can reproduce those showings when he clearly failed in the depiction off of Yavin. Its not an assumption its a fact, lmao or else Aleema would be all but disintegrated by Exar's blast



Yeah using units like Kilojoules to measure the ethereal substance of the Force, must truly be an undertaking worth doing. Have at it all you like



Its not really my fault that the writers show Aleema charring non force sensitives with a blast, and then Exar when he's supposedly "Vastly" more powerful is only capable of blasting her back. Sorry but when the showings don't match I call bullshit.



Not really when you're the one that can't seem to see the difference between all out dominating a force user with TK, and simply putting them back a few feet.



See the above mentioned post where I say using metrics to measure force energy i,e a non tangible substance is a fools errand, again if you want to do so have at it but it really doesn't begin to address the discrepancy in feats it just makes responding to your posts a ****ing nightmare.



Exar can barely knock back Aleema with his force blast, Luke can tank turbolasers with barrier and deflect TK attacks from Vader/lightning from Palpatine. Even decades before FOTJ, he has better unamped feats than Exar whose best telekinetic showing is killing powerless Odan Urr. If there isn't a gap than show me with actual showings that don't take place on Yavin or a darkside world





Exar being incapable of doing anything on par with what Luke can do, and having been taken down by less powerful force users/failed to replicate his darkside world showings seems like a good starting point, then. smile



How is actually bringing up the discrepancies of Exar's showings off of Yavin "opinion based shit"? You and AP are the ones who haven't shown parity to Luke's feats, not the other way around

You're doing that "saying nothing with too much" thing again



Because force users can still utilize the force on nexuses and still hold their own? But that's really immaterial to the point Exar can't replicate his showings off world. Again how does a lightsider being capable of utilizing the force on any darkside world, have any relation to the point that Exar can replicate his feats off world? Its kind of irrelevant.

AncientPower
He has replicated his feats off-world, your entire argument is based on shitty logic. Him stunning the entire senate was a top-tier feat easily, casually stomping Odan-Urr and Vodo were too.

You have no argument, it's all your own subjective shit and nobody is buying it.

ChaosTheory123

Of course not`



So, just to be clear, why is atomizing Massassi impressive now that you're telling me "**** physics" when I explain why what you mention is pithy?

You know, ignoring the fact nothing in the scan points towards the complete destruction of all molecular bonds of human sized masses in the first place

And you're making the assumption Keto can't be more/comparably durable than the Sith Wyrm because... unstated reasons why Nexuses are high end multipliers or expontential boosts



You're asking me to prove a negative



And she can't be this durable because?

Its a feat for Keto, why are you pretending it isn't?



Ah

So if you're saying its magic

Why are any of the feats here impressive?

Why is supposedly "atomizing" massassi an impressive feat compared to just throwing Aleema Keto backwards?

What do you have to compare feats with that tells me one is more impressive than the other?

I'm waiting



So you freely admit you're a hypocrite :hmm

You selectively call bullshit despite ignoring conservation of energy when convenient

This hobby is a farce to begin with, why make it even more subjective?



There's negligible difference

Both are pithy in terms of power

A human sized mass isn't hard to move

So what if Urr throws him back at a single digit meter per second speed as opposed to some dozens instead?

The end result isn't impressive either way

Assuming a full force Defense is up and running all the time leads to a bunch of circular logic... especially where ****ers like Ezra/Kanan/Zayne Carrick are concerned



I see you say nothing of substance

Tell me why these feats are impressive without alluding to any physics and I'll concede it can be done for this hobby

I love making my posts a nightmare however

Getting you clowns to think is half the fun~



You're functioning off the assumption that "Aleema Keto can't be this powerful"

So, can we chuck the argument for belief?

Because this is just wasting my already consciously wasted time



Prove that nexus are some massively boost

I already had my laugh at your expense over how easy it is to prove they're not significant

Try actually addressing that already



The stone wall tactic is cute, but all you're doing is avoiding the actual argument



Because you ignore the fact Kun and Durron combined took Luke down?

That Durron's power wasn't majority in their relationship?

That nexus aren't some massive multiplier despite the fact it makes Thon ****ing easy to wank?



So

What about anything in your post says nexus are more than a negligible bump to anyone worth shit?



A light sider matched the power of a world that had a nexus form from energy comparable to world razing and a solar flare

Seeing as both light and dark sides of the Force hold a rough balance?

What helps the dark side equally hinders the light

Ergo Thon is a ****ing beast

So

Quit avoiding the question, why should I assume nexuses are some end all be all power up when the powerful ones only serve to wank an already powerful light sider with your current interpretation of nexuses?

Again show me when Exar has reduced people to ash, annihilated massive beasts, and blown holes through stone. Lmfao @ subjective shit here are the scans retard:

None of that is subjective, and Exar clearly and utterly failed to do the same to Aleema on Onderon. Now the burden is on you to prove he can or at least assume some degree of responsibility for your ****tarded claim he's on par with Luke



Vader deflecting urbolasers that disintegrate Imperial guards is vastly better:

Exar's barrier showing is hardly as amazing as you're letting on



Vodo had the aid of other Jedi when he stripped Ulic, he can't do that on his own and his "stunning" couldn't even effect the force sensitives. How is that comparable to Luke being unmoved by a black hole in Dark Nest, manipulating Dovin basals, or any of his higher tier showings? Kun's strength feats aren't relevant to his offensive showings in the force, which is the point that seems to elude your thick skull



I don't recall that scan, and I don't remember the bombing being around him. Why don't you post the scan so I can concede the point, instead of whining



He was remarks he is also old also well out of his prime in the force, and source for him being the "best user of Force sever". Kun killing an out of his prime force user really isn't out of the abilities of Luke, Vader, Malgus or any force user worth his salt



Most force spirits in nexuses do the same thing, its not really as immense as your making it out to be.



Force users are routinely weaker when they are in spirit forms, again nothing in his feats when he's alive in Tales of the Jedi reinforces the point he is on par with Luke at that time period. Him needing to drain Jedi in order to reach his full power than can't equal his amped feats off Yavin, really doesn't prove any of your points as well.




Which is ****ing hilarious considering he can lift the Sun crusher, incinerate Gantoris, among other feats when he couldn't and failed to do so as per the scans I posted when he was alive. Again the ball is in your court to show me anything other than laughable powerscaling arguments, scans of Exar incinerating force users, dominating powerful force users like Kyp, or anything greater than Luke has done while in Tales of the Jedi.

Those goal posts are moving with great force I see :hmm

Be that as it may, I've had my fun

Take my resulting silence as a concession or whatever until the next time I feel like shooting the shit over this

Have applications to submit before I sleep

None of that is subjective, and Exar clearly and utterly failed to do the same to Aleema on Onderon. Now the burden is on you to prove he can or at least assume some degree of responsibility for your ****tarded claim he's on par with Luke



Vader deflecting urbolasers that disintegrate Imperial guards is vastly better:

Please tell me where you got the mind-numbingly stupid idea that a powerful sorceress whom can protect herself with the Force is comparable to mindless beasts like Massassi and Sith Wyrms. Then get back to me with evidence that Kun was going all out at this point when his priority was Ulic, if he goes doomray on Keto, then he's leaving Ulic the advantage in Force reserves.

How is it an opinion that Kun is > JA Luke when that's precisely what was proven in the book, you imbecile.

Exar Kun's Force defense has shrugged off a sever Force attack from a powerful Jedi master whom had the telepathic prowess to maintain a conversation with thousands of Jedi simultaneously. His Force defenses protected him from Starfighter grade explosives without him gesturing. His Force defenses also protected him from Aleema Keto's full strength sorcery attacks.

He is hardly lacking in the Force defense category, so why dont you actually prove something.

I never once said he's more powerful than Peak Luke you blind fool.

Force augmentation directly correlates with one's power and Force reserves. So him producing lightsaber clashes that could be heard from kilometers away, breaking through a multi-feet thick wall of beskar with a saber and repeatedly brealing the Force imbued-staff of Vodo are all absolutely relevant showings of power.

ROFL at your pathetic deluded attempts to belittle his senate-wide stunning feat, did it surpass your hilarious logic that either:

1.He was exclusively freezing the senate.
2.His power was a blanket attack spread over thousands of people, him not effecting Vodo, Nomi and the like with it is hardly surprising when they have that thing called mental defense.

That didn't stop Odan-Urr from having a telepathic conversation with thousands of people at once, the old = weak logic is dumped on when we have many elderly Jedi and Sith making up for their age with the Force. Obviously Odan-Urr was not in his prime here but he has a thousand years of anti-Sith prep to counter that. Kun still stomped his shit in and got even stronger after it.

So you're just going to dodge the point that a weaker Kun in spirit form can stomp Luke's shit in. Logically he'd do the same in his far stronger living prime.

He roflstomped two Jedi Masters.
Froze thousands of people with no effort.
One-shotted Aleema Keto.
One-shotted Nadd's spirit.
One-shotted Sylvar.
Casually blocked bombs, sorcery and sever Force.

So if Spirit Kun>JA Luke who is above his DE self or at least on-par with it who pretty much beat Palpatine on neutral ground barring his wormholes, wouldn't that mean Kun>Palpatine.

Wait

Who said that? :geg

Luke rebuked a weakened Kun, and a combined effort between Durron and Kun tossed Luke's soul from his body

Nothing about that suggests anything more than Kun possessing some decent fraction of DE Luke's power though

DE Luke isn't quite Sidious' level IIRC

Took something like himself, Leia, and her unborn child to sever his connection to the Force briefly. Obviously Luke contributed the most power, but it lends to suggest Luke's still somewhat weaker than Sidious despite being a peer as a duelist

Unless Dark Empire II or Empire's End has a fight I'm not privy too?

At any rate

Night clowns, you've been a fun crowd for today~

The Merchant
Kun and Durron owned Luke though? And Luke couldn't do a thing about it.

Luke owned Palpatine in a duel, chopped off his hand. Palpatine then used his Force storm ability, which Luke needed Leia and Anakin to sever Palpatines force connection from that.

No, because Sids didn't go all out and Luke had an amp from Leia and unborn Anakin.

Kun is much more powerful alive though, Kyp really isn't making up for that when he's feeble compared to spirit Kun in the first place.

The only thing Palpatine didn't do in that duel was force storms tho, and he unleashed it on the Pinnacle Moon base. If he was so powerful he could have just disarmed Luke. And Luke wasn't amped when he dueled Palpatine, he was amped when he was cutting off Palpatines connection to his Force storms.

Palpatine fought Luke Skywalker in a manner that didn't benefit him in the first place. Palpatine wanted to lure both Skywalkers to the Dark Side but he underestimated their willpower. On top of this, Leia Organa Solo supported Luke when he needed her most.

In the absence of Leia's assistance, Palpatine had been dominating Luke.

---

Now, Palpatine is tremendously powerful in his own right and Exar Kun is tremendously powerful in his own right. However, it is not necessary for Palpatine to be a master of every Dark Side ability ever conceived and raw power doesn't guarantees victory in all situations.

The beauty of Sith Sorcery is that it is a pathway to development of virtually endless techniques.

Luke wasn't lacking in strength in comparison to Kun; Luke was lacking in options to counter Kun's offensive techniques.

---

Another point is that Luke isn't necessarily suited to tackle every Force-user in history. Every character have strengths and weaknesses.

Well, that's not exactly true. JA Luke is honestly decidedly less impressive than he was in his darker DE days, and it was Kyp and Kun together that defeated him.
It is true.

Exar Kun had advantage in the offensive spectrum; Luke Skywalker could not effectively counter all of his offensive techniques.

Yes, Kyp Durron was there but he was not at his prime and Kun was in spirit form and hindered. Moreover, another member have addressed this part earlier.


Not as far as I am aware. If I am missing something, kindly enlighten me.

Kun unleashed powers on him that he couldn't counter with conventional defensive options or his defensive techniques.

AncientPower
He attacked him with a sorcery variant of Sith lightning, which apparently can't be stopped by any version of Force defense including Tutaminis.
