Exar Kun runs the gauntlet!

im trying to get an idea of exar's power, so how far does he get in the gauntlet, with full rests in between? takes place in lord vitiate's throne room on the dromund kaas space station. this is kun prior to his imprisonment by the wall of light. is also equipped with his amulet.

1. Darth Nyriss
2. RotS Obi Wan
3. count dooku
4. prime revan
5. DoE bane
boss: Master Yoda

personally, i think he might be able to make it to 5, idk if he wins there tho

Clears. Loses the Boss fight barley.

how tough is each fight for him?

Slaughters 1-2, has some trouble with 3- beats 5minor trouble. Loses Boss in a good match.

you think he has minor trouble with DoE bane? i thought he'd struggle a bit...

1. Darth Nyriss - amulet = dead
2. RotS Obi Wan - amulet = dead; without amulets, he still wins with the Force
3. count dooku - depending on Dooku's tutaminis, agility and FL, amulet = dead, or stops here
4. prime revan - toss up here, given Revan's strength in the Force, and his tutaminis; without amulets, he stops here
5. DoE bane - I'd put him below Revan, so slight edge to Exar, thanks to amulets
boss: Master Yoda - stops here, amulet or no

I agree, though I think Bane is fast enough to dodge the amulet and get in close to take Kun apart myself.

i have a thought: nyriss's lightning is widely overrated. she manages to char two mooks with lightning, so what? does that make revan blocking it super impressive? more impressive than yoda blocking sidious's lightning?

That isn't the impressive thing, though it is still rather good, above say, Dooku. The impressive thing is that Revan casually caught her charged lightning, which possessed enough power to incinerate her in a second, despite having to rip through a Force shield first.

my question is: is that more impressive than blocking sidious's lightning?

edit: plus kun's amulet blasts could punch holes through sith wyrms.

No. I'd put Yoda's tutanimis above Revan's.

Its at the least comparable. At the time Sidious' lightning had also proven able to disintegrate and I'm of the mind that his lightning was probably more powerful than even her charged blast, due to him just being much more powerful than her. However as I said, Revan more than makes up for it for showing no sign of struggling while doing it and being able to mouth off during whereas Yoda was obviously struggling a lot.

So yeah, in my opinion it is a little bit more impressive.

Probably not, no. However, it was done with apparent ease.

Anyway, I could see Revan taking down Exar Kun via absorbing/deflecting amulet blasts. Of course, Revan doesn't have any real concrete saber feats to properly gauge his level so no clue what happens if it becomes a saber duel.

As much as it pains me to recant a previous opinion of mine.... I have to finally agree with Legend that Revan easily owning an Imperial Guardsman with his lightsaber is indicative of great ability, seeing the accolades we've been given of them:

"When confronted by the Imperial Guard, the mightiest of Sith have laid down their lightsabers and surrendered to the inevitable death offered by a guardsman's electrostaff. Even members of the Dark Council fear the Imperial Guard, though many would die before confessing such weakness." + "Unmatched in martial skill."

um, that still doesnt compare with kun imo, kun has:

beaten vodo siosk baas while he was a padawan
stalemated ulic qel droma, a very skilled duelist, even when he lost his connection to the force, and i believe he also defeated a jedi master war hero guy, though im not too sure
never lost a saber duel in his life, except when he was but a padawan
was light years ahead of almost everyone in terms of power (hence why 1000's of jedi were needed to contain him)

I was talking about the 'any real concrete saber feats to properly gauge his level' thing.

^Agreed. Kun would DEMOLISH Revan in a saber duel.

How skilled is Vodo? Anyway, Exar bested him by simply cutting through his staff not by "out-skilling" him.

Stalemating Ulic is quite good and easily his best saber feat.

Got a source for Exar never losing a duel?

Nor was he far better than everyone else. Ulic, as you already pointed out, stalemated him and the tree man (forgot his name) managed to drive Exar off.

Impressive. Still, I think that alone isn't really enough to gauge his skill.

and in the force, it's close, but overall kun definitely takes it imo

edit: baas was renowned as an elite duelist for his time, and the greatest warrior of his race. also, when i said he was light years ahead, i meant in OVERALL, not just force or just sabers. and i don't think there is anytime he actually did lose a saber duel, except of course against baas as a padawan, whom he defeated next time when he utilized jar-kai
