He used force shield to block blaster fire, a technique which can block lightning, O remember the link? Vader caught the bolt and threw it back? Dooku did the same exact thing, just that he threw back his own lightning after yoda threw it at him, Again No where does it state vader cant block lightning. He dies if he comes into contact with lighning, and clearly the force shields him from that
What do you mean what defense does Kun have? Kun is a powerful force user, so how would Vader be able to just lift him off the ground and do that. A better example would be, any Jedi can force persuade a normal being, yet it takes a very powerful Jedi to force persuade another Jedi. Same way Kun won't be able to do a stasis field on Vader since Vader is a powerful force user.
Now all the feats you've mentioned don't explain how Vader is going to stop a blast more powerful than force lightning, which would kill Vader. It doesn't have to state that Vader can't block lightning. We know he can't use it and we know his systems will fail if it hits him, as shown by his death after throwing Sidious down the shaft. Now, the Dooku example is much different, considering he was throwing back Yoda's reflection of his own lightning. Not to mention Dooku is HUMAN, therefore he can conjure up force lightning and possibly defend against it.
I can, why? Because logic would point out, If vader knows what his enemies are capable of and it would prevent him from underestimating his enemy
I can just as well say "Well Kun knows what VADER is capable of so HE will be ready". It just doesn't work.
I wouldnt go as far to saw vader gets "ownd". Again RODV Points out that even as a robot vader is a remarkable duelist and his djem so is effective weapon.
You're right, he's a great duelist but as a robot he isn't quick enough to take down the likes of Sidious, Dooku, Yoda, Mace, Kun, Qel Droma, etc.
How bout this quote? Which JA and Shadows of the empire backs up
Around 3.5 ABY, Vader had ordered ASP-19 droids, lightsaber combat droids based off the ASP-series droid, to be produced to fight him in sparring matches. They were faster and stronger than an ordinary man, and programmed with the knowledge of a hundred sword masters and a dozen fighting styles. Vader defeated them time and again, and thus ordered new, improved batches of them. As his finesse improved, they became too easy to defeat, even in a two-on-one match. This alone proves how good vader is at dueling. Notice the keywords, stronger than an ordinary man and [B]programmed with the knowledge of a hunderd sword masters ?
Again if its ok i ask, what makes kun > vader in saber abilities alone[/quote]
First, what sword masters are all these droids programmed from? It can't be Jedi since all the Jedi were either dead or hiding, so that's not a really good example. Secondly, Kun was the best duelist in the KOTOR era, had a unique blade and style, and was human. I would say those traits would make him defeat Vader in saber combat.
This alone proves vaders skill with the saber

And as a robot, his skill has limits that other fully functional people don't.
