For force powers they might be both very equal but since Luke
a) knows Sith powers
b) will use them because of NJO philosophy BS
c) will utilize his "bad" feelings to overcome KunThat actually would make him more powerful than Kun because the real cool stuff Kun did was Sith magic. Now we know that Vodo simply resisted the effect of the spell Kun did freeze the Senate with so that kind of stuff may not affect powerful people and I guess NJO Luke can be considered more powerful than Vodo.
So we're coming to duelling skills. While Kun is - without a doubt - a major badass in lightsaber combat but he has two major problems here:
a) Luke is wearing two lightsabers and this is the worst thing that can happen to somebody with an double bladed lightsaber because the advantage of this weapon is nullified in this case
b) Luke - in terms of duelling skills - has to be considered to be a match for anyone else as he is so damn fast that he looks like wielding 20 lightsabers at once. So you can actually see him as a bigger version of Yoda (and believe me: I hate to do so because I hate this kind of NJO BS)
Now it's very hard to decide but since Luke could compete with thousands of aliens of whom one was to powerful for Kyp Durron (who is not that shabby himself) he might be able to kill Kun although this will be a nice fight to see and Kun might be able to kill Luke as well but I just say Luke has the better chance.
WTF? Let meget this straight:
- He uses two blades suddenly.
- He can use the dark side equally.
- He 'looks' like he's swinging twenty blades.
What a crock of shit.

It's true. Everyone who has read the NJO has said the exact same thing and Janus you know Nai always backs up his statements.
oh if that is why you think that he used two blades then I think I can solve that, he still only used one during the battle, just he brought along an extra incase he lost one, that is the one he tossed to Jacen. Or, since Jacen had been having force visions relating to this, Luke may have sensed that now was the time to bring it along and complete the vision.

I know that most of what you said is true Nai, I was just wondering where you got the two lightsaber's part, I cannot remember that at all excapt in a VERY specific time, before that never, after that never, just at the very start of the war. I could be wrong, but I would like some proof on that.
Oh yes. Sorry. He only used two lightsabers in the fight with Shimra but at least he can handle two lightsabers at once. Well...if he only used one during the entire fight against the YV that makes the statement that it looked like he did wield 20 lightsabers at once even more impressive since he was only wielding one and not two.
For the Sith part:
We know that Luke did know Sith powers since he trained under C'Baoth (who was a dark sider) and under Sidious himself (Dark Empire). And well "instakill abilities" (TUF) and "force choke" (ROTJ) also don't seem to be Jedi abilities.

Is this "He looks like he had twenty sabers at once" a statement just stroking his ability's fire or is it perhaps taken a bit out of context. I could say that Yoda looked like he was doing the same, even though it's really not true. I want clarification on this one.

I can't find my copy of TUF atm but yes the exact words did go something like that.
Luke was moving and killing the slayers with such speed that even to trained Jedi like Jacen and Jaina it simply looked like twenty sabers moving from slayer to slayer in rapid sucession, they couldn't even see Luke.
