Exar Kun vs Maul and Savage

Started by carthage2 pages

I think it was in the TOTJ comics toward the beginning.

Eye recall there being a statement from Luke saying that Kun's spirit along with Palpatine's own dark-side energies were some of the most potent ever.

Yeh, no he doesn't.

Savage would last perhaps a few minutes against a toying Kun but all-out Kun destroys him before he has an effect on this bout.

Greater speed? check.
Greater strength via rage? check.
Greater TK? check.
Greater Force defense? check.
Greater FL? Savage nor Maul for that matter even wield it.
Greater Force Augmentation? by tiers.
Greater Sorcery? neither of his opponents wield it.
Greater Saber ability? Maul is of the same tier, Savage isn't close.
Greater Force Power? by so much it's a joke.

Kun is the most powerful in the Force here by a decent amount and has tiers more knowledge of the Force, Maul is the only one that can actually duel him here.

Actually relating to appearing as a blue blur:

'The Jedi Knights, the Sith and the Senate witnessed as a blue blur consumed the Krevaaki, leaving only his broken body.' - TotJ Companion

Maul is faster though

Also Maul broke those binders and smashed a droids head with his bare hands, Kun cut through Beskar after multiple slashes whereas Maul broke those binders in one movement iirc and dented those droids in Shadow hunter in one motion. Maul should still be stronger physically.

He hit it once and then after his 'it didn't even scratch it!' he did it again and smashed directly through the wall.

Let me check through my copy of TOTJ and get back at you:

Its unclear whether or not he was amped by Nadd at this point the quote says:

"Standing on the threshold of the future, Exar Kun senses a power moving around him..a power that wants to help him-Tales of the Jedi

Granted, Kun wasn't a fully-devoted darksider and was in conflict between Nadd and his (then) Jedi self, and its unclear as to whether dark rage was the source of his power. But Nadd could've helped him at that point, I'm not sure.
