Thul was particularly powerful due to the fact that he was summoning energy from the collective might of the Colony, rather like Mara Jade used to draw energy from Palpatine when she was his Hand.
Nyax, similarly, was able to enhance his skills by drawing upon the power of a Force nexus beneath Coruscant.
Muur seems to be extraordinarily powerful for a Sith Lord; he seemed confident enough to be able to slay Palpatine by using either Vader or Luke for a vessel. But that's not concrete.
Nyax still had his tremendous ability with lightsabers without the Force well. Raynar was drawing off the Nest, but that doesn't make him any less powerful as he did it all the time. Did the Luke Unuthul fight just never happen? I thought I made it clear that I was referring to Raynar during his time with the Killicks.
I'm really surprised over this Murr guy. I'd honestly don't remember ever hearing the name until today.
Nyax's skills with a lightsaber aren't unique; there are numerous relative nobodies who demonstrate or are reputed to have monumental skills as swordsmen (i.e. Cin Drallig, Anoon Bondara, ect).
As far as Raynar is concerned, I thought it should be clarified that the extent of his abilities are not due to his own strength in the Force, but rather like the amulets of the ancient Sith -- he was a beneficiary of something that augmented and focused his power exponentially.
Muur was part of the Legacy comics; he seems pretty badass.

Regardless of if his skills are unique or not, Luke felt that engaging him in a saber fight was out of the question. That right there speaks volumes.
Fair enough, but I'm taking into account that during the years he was in control of the Killicks he would have access to all of the those powers during a fight. Is an amulet really that different than a lightsaber?
Haven't gotten into those comics and don't really plan to. The Order getting wiped out again is just too many times.
@truejedi: I really wouldn't call that fight the essence of domination or anything like that. He even thought to himself at one point that he was in trouble.

It is just as much as Zannah's sorcery.
Yet he still defeated seven by himself as opposed to Bane who with Zannah, who is effectively his equal, could not defeat five. Also, keep in mind that the best Jedi were actually killed during the Thought Bomb.
Nyax - He was basically unbeatable, even for Luke, in a duel. The guy had six freakin lightsabers. It's seriously gay, but the guy was really powerful. Read up on when he was killed by Luke, Mara, and Tahiri.
Raynar - I'm not referring to him on his own. I'm talking about when he was in control of the Killicks. At that point he did some crazy powerful things. Raynar could impose his will on others to the point even Luke felt it's influence. If I remember correctly, he was able to bend turbolaser blasts away from his ship. Raynar even gave Luke a run for his money in their fight.
Glentract, even if it's just for following a nice plotline, typical, but nice I would recommend Legacy. It's my third favourite series to date, mainly because i relate to Cade, alot but then there are alot of smiliarites between Legacy and the rest of the saga.
Spoiler:
Cade is a White Mace battling inner darkness and he has a natural affinity for Shatterpoint. He has the ability to heal and bring people back to life , however this brings hi mcloser the Dark Side. Like Luke he apprentices to the Sidious-of-Cade's-time though Cade doesn't fall like Luke. Oh and He's a sarcastic bounty hunter, what more could you want?

True. I was just saying that Bane did win the fight legiatamly.
I don't know that I would call that a legitimate win. We don't know for certain that he did win. It does seem likely that he did, but it was kinda left up in the air. Furthermore, that's not really a combat ability. How are we supposed to judge the strength of will of two different characters?

Farfalla was clearly a powerful warrior. After all he was a leader of the Jedi during the Battle of Ruusan implying he was both wise and powerful.
As for the weapon master, "Raskta had been part of the campaign on Ruusan. Wielding a blue-bladed lightsaber in each hand, and shunning any form of armor, she was a terrifying figure to behold on the battlefield. Johun vividly remembered her carving great swaths of destruction through the heart of the enemy ranks, leaving a litter of bodies in her wake. It was said that, by the end of the war, as many Sith Lords had fallen under her twin blades as had been killed by the thought bomb." She was thus clearly one of the greatest duelest the order had to offer at that time.
Lord Hoth was the leader, not Farfalla. Farfalla was the number two guy and he only was there because of his charisma, not combat prowess. Raskta effectively equaled Bane in lightsaber combat, so I don't think that helps Bane's case much. The claim that she killed as many Sith Lords as the thought bomb did sounds like it is subject to exaggeration but I don't know. Anyway, Zannah was the one that killed her.

If I remember correctly, Nyax drew most of his power from the Jedi Temple force nexus, it wasn't his own.
His ability with lightsaber is more what makes him so dangerous. Even Luke shied away from engaging him. The well of Force energy didn't cause that. He was still capable with the Force away from there, strong enough I think to defend himself from Bane's Force attacks and Force Bane to engage in a duel.

They're decent books. Worth the read.
