AP I really don't like the Malak>Kun shit either, but this is just reaching.

Jolee Bindo and a Random Merchant, two people who have never met Malak or Prime Revan(one not even being Force Sensitive), or an out of universe source? Really makes you think. This one is actually well beyond pathetic. Even for you.
First, that's not what the statement says, even if that's what he means. "Even more terrifying and dangerous," to "Keep the player's imagination alive," does not mean more powerful. And regardless of Drew's wishes, Chee is keeper of the holocron. Move on with life. Kun is below Malak, and no amount of hamster-wheel will change that.

In the very beginning he states that this was about how powerful characters were. In an answer to the question of what was meant by their statements. What he says is clear, far clearer than the ambiguous statement you and the others like to parade around as a clear objective fact to suit your wank agenda.
Literally everything buy a single interpretation of a web supplement is working against your hard shouldering. Your opinion is the outlier here. And no, screaming 'Leland Chee' incoherently won't do you any good when an actual statement from him about power levels contradicts the notion entirely.
Take the L.

Drew doesn't have the authority to make said statement. He is one of the many writers on KOTOR and does not have knowledge of LFL's plans. Not that you are even interpreting this right in the first place. And the statement in question is clearly referring power as confirmed by Herndon.

Completely irrelevant. Herndon is clarifying the meaning of what is on the page whereas Drew is making his own assumptions based on in-universe statements. And, yes Herndon has worked with Chee on multiple occasions.

He has all the authority in the world on this matter, he used a world-building writing technique that confirms that Revan and Malak weren't as powerful, terrifying and dangerous as Exar Kun was. That's as clear as possible.
Herndon confirmed nothing but the fact that LFL reviewed the supplement and that he still thinks Malak wins in a fight against Exar Kun.
Herndon has no authority on any of the characters involved, Drew Karpyshyn as Lead Writer does. Tom Veitch and KJA do as well. Their affirmations are far more credible on these matters.

The strikedthrough parts are irrelevant given that's not what I was asking about. Now regarding Herndon knowing LFL's plans and how it relates to the Malak > Kun quote. I have bad news for you, Leland specifically made it clear that LFL never expanded on a ranking of which characters are more powerful than others. So it's very very likely that the Malak > Kun quote came soley from the mind of Corey Herndon's as a way to promote material with Malak in it. I think I pointed out this quote to you before, here it is again :
- Leland Chee
I very much doubt that Chee had any hand in the Malak quote given his ethos regarding statements concerning power levels. And even if he did, he'd do with mind that it doesn't have to interpreted as an "absolute". To the contrary Kun is objectively much more powerful than Malak Star Forge or not. But i'd like Corey Herndon's analysis of why he thinks otherwise, and why his promotional blog to you must contain a factual comparison of the characters.
Imagine being Drew Karpyshyn. Imagine the feeling of depression and existential nihilism he experiences every time some nerd emails him with questions regarding a setting he was paid to write some stuff for over a decade ago and has almost certainly forgotten the majority of his thought process when writing it.
Imagine how few seconds he spends actually considering the question before throwing out whatever answer pops into his head first before he finishes taking a shit or eating his breakfast or any of the other myriad things that take precedence over talking about a universe that's been officially dead for almost 5 years.
Kill me.

Given that the Malak wank is becoming ever stronger and any attempts at logic are shoved aside to benefit Revan wank, I see no reason not to go to exactly the same lengths Ant did to start all of this.
