True, but Kun originally had a single-bladed sabre which he later modified to become a doubler. He is adept at fighting with both single and double bladed sabres.
He duelled Ulic with just one blade and stalemated him. During his duel with Vodo, he started with just one blade and then switched to double blades part way through.
Kun wins this pretty easily. He's several notches beyond Vader. As is pretty much any notable Jedi or Sith, he's much faster than Vader is, his lightsaber form is entirely unique, and Exar Kun's ability to create it out of nothing suggests a remarkable level of talent with the lightsaber, and of course, he's displayed an absolutely alarming level of Force prowess that Vader hasn't even come close to matching: instantly placing something like tens of thousands of beings into a stasis, draining the entire Massassi race of the Force, resisting a planetary wall of light attack from thousands of Jedi etc.. The evidence on hand would suggest that it's not even close.
Sorry Noobaris, but Exar Kun didn't "invent" his unique double blade. He made it according to the instructions of the sith holocron, from one of the exiles.
Draining the entire massassi race was a ritual, so that's an irrelevant point as well. He didn't resist any wall of light attack. He shed his mortal body and couldn't escape the temple because of that attack. As usual, you lose.
No. Out of Universe material establishes that Exar Kun did indeed create the weapon and lightsaber form. The only source that might appear to contradict that is in-universe, and even then it's only suggested that that's how he created the weapon. Out of universe established fact trumps in-universe suggestions.
Draining the Massassi was what he did to power the ritual. It was done all under his own level of power and ability. He was transferring their energy to the Sith power tools so that they would be able to release his spirit from his body.
And yes, he resisted the wall of light attack for long enough to finish the ritual. As usual, you're a homo.
