Kyp Durron, Corran Horn Vs. Darth Caedus

In Fury, Luke turns down an opportunity to lead an attack on Caedus. He instead turns the mission over to Kyle Katarn. If instead, the mission had consisted of Kyp and Corran, and they had gotten Jacen alone, would they have been able to finish him off?

No 3 areas of combat, instead, One fight to the death.

Jacen loses. Kyp and Corran are two of the strongest in the NJO, and they aren't going to lose to Caedus 2v1.

An interesting idea, but keep in mind the goal of that mission was to plant a tracking device on Caedus, not to kill him.

So? They'd have killed him if they were in ANY way capable of it given the threat he was. Hold back against Caedus and you'll get killed.

Well, the initial mission idea (pg. 37 i think) was to CAPTURE Caedus. I don't think even these two would be capable of that. Kill him, but not capture him. The tracker was the backup plan in case the attack failed.

Whats it matter if the mission was to put a tracking device on him in the book? This is a different scenario.

thank you VR. This is an all-encompassing battle to the death.

Caedus takes this.

Well, I see Horn as the weak link, And i'm unsure how to substantiate Kyp's saber skills. So I think Caedus might win as well. But then i remeber that he lost to Jaina, and i'm just all confused.

Hows Corran a weak link? He would probably be able to use Caedus' own force lightening against him. He also outdueled Mara Jade in lightsaber combat. Him paired with the force titan Kyp Durron should be more than enough to beat Caedus.

refresh my memory of Horn's exploits. I remember Ghanner Rhysode had to rescue him one time. And then he fought and killed the warmaster of the Vong, but I seriously can't think of anything other than those 2 things.

Kyp is a force beast, but i don't remember anything he has done with a saber. Can anyone fill in the blanks there?

Jacen ftw, not easily though

People are saying Caedus would win, but nobody is saying why.

Off-topicish, but has anyone ever wondered why, when opportunities to take on the big bad guy come about, that the protagonists always decide to either solo, go with a partner, or just a few guys. Take every Master. Every Knight too. Luke faces him alone---take everyone, jackass.

or just send Luke. How many times did Luke not even bother to go kill Caedus because it would send him to the dark side?

Remember the ridiculous fight between Seba, Ben, and Luke against Caedus, where they end up retreating to save Seba? If they had just stayed and fought, and Luke had gone ahead and taken out Jacen, they could have gotten Seba help faster. THAT was so stupid it barely bears repeating.

No, only Katarn knew the truth about the mission, the other jedi knights had no clue, it is explained later on in the book in a conversation between Luke, Ben and Kyp (or Corran but im pretty sure its kyp)

And Katarn was the only real powerful Jedi on the mission. That would have been one hell of a battle but the mission objective was to plant a tracer on Jacen, not kill him.

but...but...but... I don't care. What if they wanted to kill him, and it was just Kyp. And Horn? Would they kill him? Or would they die?

Gotta give it to Corran and Kyp. I dont think Jacen ever surpassed Kyp in brute strength with the Force and isnt likely to be able to use his special techniques during battle cause they wouldnt really help him there. Corran helping out leaves Jacen overwhelmed.

Just curious here but most people seem to keep saying kyp is a force beast and titan. Can anyone give me some feats or exploits that kyp has done? Because I don't recall him doing anything special in DN, LOTF, or anything in FOTJ so far.
