I'm reserving my judgement on this for now.

Don't let that get you down. I've had to put up with that bullshit before as well. I look forward to learning more about Jaden from you, and I personally hope you heighten my view of him.

THE MOTTO IS "IN KEK WE TRUST"
I feel like a lot of Jedi from Luke's order is underrated and are quite powerful. Hwever I don't know much about them, although Mara Jade laughed at Exar Kun's spirit in I, Jedi saying that Vader would have found him quaint while the Emperor would have viewed him a complete failure, so that probably has to say something.

These things and more."
Which novel did he call Luke quaint in? Mara Jade's comment comes from I, Jedi. I also think her opinion holds more weight then a Sith Lord who boasts. Look what happened to Andeddu, who claimed Wyyrlok would have been defeated by a Sith apprentice from his age, got destroyed by Wyyrlok himself :I

The Jedi Academy sourcebook states that he was berating Luke with these statements, kind of like a 'in the mean time', do remember they go entire chapters in the JA trilogy without even mentioning what Luke and Kun are doing in the spirit plane.
I would take Kun, who on several occasions has admitted when an opponent is impressive or strong, over the opinion of a new to the Force Mara Jade who knows jack all about the Sith by this time.

Mara Jade has been working with Vader and Palpatine for years and isn't a novice in the Force like you're implying. Also Kun actually considered Luke too powerful to take on without the aid of one of his students as said in the sourcebook, reading it right now actually. He later even pretended to be Anakin Skywalker to convince Luke to the Dark-side but failed. Also I got to the part that says he taunts Luke but it never says he says his dueling skills are weak, just says he claims that Kyp and Streen are under his control. Later it says he's still trying to take over Luke's body but can't.

My view is that, while it's a relatively small order, and doesn't have as many total skilled people as CW era... of the ones it does have, it's overloaded with ones who're really strong in the force.
I mean, part of that is being overloaded with Skywalker/Solos, but even aside from them, Mara, Kyle, Horn, Kyp, Saba, Jaden...
Not gonna argue that when no one - besides a few users and myself, knows anything about Jaden, just saying that because people know so little of Jaden they'll dismiss him as if he were - say, Cin Drallig or Coleman Trebor, but hopefully that'll change once I've finished my thread. oh and i should point out i said nothing about Jaden winning this.
