A: I didn't say Onderon was easily conquerable, I said it was easily taken control of by a dark side Force user of Nadd's level with knowledge of Sith magic.
A force user on his level had -better- be able to take over a planet like that, or they get an F in life.
As well, an explanation for why Onderon wasn't conquered before Nadd may be because hardly anyone had heard of it. It took the Republic and Jedi hundreds of years after Nadd's death to get off their asses and look into Onderon.
B: Defeating the Beast Riders, for someone of Nadd's level is child's play. See my "freeze spell" argument. There are plenty of techniques just as effective. DE Sidious could have done so, for instance.
C: Good, you're making the argument that Tatooine is harder to conquer than Coruscant. Now prove it, because I've made the argument to the contrary. Your analogy is flawed, too, since Tatooine's population in comparison to Coruscant's doesn't jive with Russia's to France's, and Tatooine isn't the seat of any government whereas Coruscant is. A better analogy would be a comparison of how easy Washington D.C. might be to conquer relative to how easy it might be to conquer Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Okay, and none of those people in the Senate outside of Vodo had a defense against Kun's freezing magic. Does that mean he's overrated and less powerful than Nadd, who was able to wipe out armies?
D: You're making my point. The Beast Riders have no hope against any Force user like Nadd, whether Dark or Light. Their defeat, again, is not indicative of Nadd's greatness. I've already submitted that this feat can be easily replicated by others.
E: Since KOTOR is part of the subject matter, the battle is resolvable. That doesn't make it canon. Since KOTOR likely contradicts other sources regarding Nadd (i.e. claiming he fought Jedi while still alive, which is dubious), then it can be discarded. As well, since KOTOR has nothing to do with either of these men other than mentions of them within both games, then we can argue this point without going into KOTOR.
Besides, I submit that both Kreia and Revan would be stomped by Freedon or Exar.
How is "one of the most respected Jedi Masters" an unknown quantity exactly? Regardless, you can't call him a weakling.
Respect doesn't make him powerful. Arca Jeth was respected for his great wisdom and battle meditation abilities, not his fighting prowess. I can say that he was nowhere near one of the most powerful force users, considering that he was captured on Onderon and killed by a Krath droid ambush some years later while surrounded by hundreds, perhaps thousands of other Jedi.
And you attempt to undermine Nadd's accomplishments to achieve that end.
Yes, because Nadd's accomplishments are said to be indicative of his great power, and somehow conquering a backwater, nonmember world of the Republic and harassing jedi as a spirit hundreds of years later makes him greater than Exar Kun, who was actually declared the Dark Lord of the Sith and did far more than Nadd could ever achieve, in the process accumulating more knowledge and power than he could use.
So those people in KOTOR say it for kicks and giggles? Is it necessarily 100% accurate? No, but discounting that completely is like discounting that Revan never existed.
No, they say it because they are making a video game. Read below:
Or the blaster may not have existed until Obsidian decided that perhaps players might want a good one-handed blaster item, somewhat like what Bioware did with "Exar Kun's Light Battle Armor" or whatever that ridiculous nonsense was called.
