Tom Veitch confirms DE & TOTJ power levels

quote:
I was hoping you could tell me whether or not Exar Kun was as powerful as a Sith such as Emperor Palpatine. Also, if Ulic Qel-Droma was as powerful as Jedi like Luke Skywalker. I know you worked on both of my favourite Star Wars series Tales of the Jedi and Dark Empire, so I was hoping you could clarify this so I have something to work with on my Star Wars videos. I wanted to do an analysis of both series.

Thank you for your time and your exceptional additions to the Star Wars universe.

Hi ~

Yes, Exar Kun was as powerful as Palpatine -- maybe even more powerful. Ulic Qel-Droma became far more powerful than Luke Skywalker -- but then we aren't done with Luke yet, so we will have to wait for episode VIII and IX to find out!

best,

Tom Veitch

PS: I have written a book about Star Wars that is coming out in the next few months. It includes a lot of discussion about the Tales of the Jedi and Dark Empire as well as Ulic and Exar Kun. We will be sending press releases to various Star Wars sites, so I am sure you will hear about it when it comes out.


A very interesting series of statements, his upcoming book could change the ground realities of the mythos tbh.

Yet he's clearly referring to Canon since he refers to Luke as of TFA and future movies. Soo....he's gonna be bringing back Kun and Ulic in the Canon? Sounds nice.

The opinion of an an author is non- canon and doesn't make a difference unless you're desperately grasping at straws like the blockhead that is the OP

He's clearly just referring to the fact that Luke is being replaced and rewritten for Disney Canon, so we will see how powerful Luke really is. We can't expect him to have the 'Legends Luke' or 'Canon Luke' mindset like we do.

Feat Wars retards aren't relevant to the discussion.

There's a vastly clear difference though, but yeah.

Knock off the insults. Thank you.

I wonder if the book he's writing is Star Wars or about Star Wars. He seems to be writing something commenting on his past work, rather than producing something new that would bring those characters into canon.

There would be no point though to publish something that isn't about the Current Canon. I doubt it would be approved since all Legends material has stopped altogether with the exception of TOR.

Edit: Oh just noticed the PS bit. Ok that seems kind of weird, considering it's been how long since the Canon revamp? Yet they are just now allowing this to get put out? Kinda bizarre.

If it's just Vietch talking about his past projects it wouldn't need to be approved (as least I wouldn't think so).

Ya I just noticed the PS bit, though he says book. But I mean...I guess, it's just weird that he's writing a Legends book, when the new Canon has been going on for...2 years now?..

Besides the fact that he's working on a new project, I don't see anything new here. Tom's thoughts on these matters are pretty well known.

If anything it provides a concrete confirmation of Kun and Qel-Droma relative to_their DE counter parts.

Kun/Palpatine are the Dark Lords with Ulic/Luke as their prodigal apprentices, the apprentices are redeemed by a significant other in Nomi/Leia, thus betraying their Dark Lords and ending their reigns.
