Yeah, the guy who performs feats of Force power with more left in the tank than Luke Skywalker who performed the same feat, isn't getting stomped by anyone short of Force entity's in the Force battle.
Ehh, but it was a feat of raw power, the omniscient narrator specifically drew a direct comparison to Luke and Kyp in. Wiith Durron being the arrogant Jedi he is saying hinself > Luke in terms of raw, unfiltered power, and he won't be taxed as much because of it.
I believe it holds more sway than whatever Kaan has done in common with Luke, LAWL.
"And he seized upon that void, directing all his force abilities and disciplin against it."
"It was like using a thin metal rod to push a grounded landspeeder. Too much pressure and it would bend, becoming useless. Too little and nothing would happen. He had to find the right pressure to budge it, to set it into motion and keep it going that way..."
For a moment the only things in the universe were him, jaina, and the void. He moved the void, turned it around, moved it back in the other direction."
"Then he was himself again, in the cockpit, watching the flank of the interdictor distort. The void had moved back and touched the interdictor, and now the interdictor elongated into it, extending what loomed like a pliant extrusion of what he knew to be hardened yorik coral into the singularity."
"The portions of the interdictor in closest proximity to the void accelerated faster into its maw so that portions farther back tore, venting gases into space. But the incredible gravity of the singularity didnt allow the remainder of the ship to gear away and be free. It dragged greater and greater portions of the interdictor into it, compressing them, rending them, and in a moment the interdictor was gone."
"Kyp felt obliterated, bone tired, as though he'd run for days, drawing on the force to sustain him, and had finally settled down for a rest"
I dont remember which book Luke did his dovin basal feat in to get the quote, but iirc he manipulated two at once, pulling them apart then letting go so they would over compensate and crash together or something like that.
This quote is the one where kyp thinks to himself that he's more powerful than luke-
"And he didnt think he'd be as terribly drained as luke by the technique. He was stronger in the force than luke Skywalker."
"He'd known that almost since they'd met-that he had more pure power than the legendary jedi master. But this was, perhaps, the first time he'd been able to say it to himself without a little thrill of pride. He was just stronger, and that was all. It usually didn't matter. Now it did."
