Holy cow, does Legend seriously think that the ceiling Vitiate brought down is comparable in size to Vader's fortress, which was passing storm clouds? And yeah, it was on a mountain - but its structure is still stated to blend in with the beaches, .i.e. it ranges all the way down the mountain. Regardless, it's undisputedly larger than the hallway we see in TOR.
I mean, it's not just the size difference, it's also the fact that Luke crushes the entire fortress to dust at the same time and then hurls it all into the ocean, while Vitiate just fragments the ceiling. I have no idea how you could justify the latter being more impressive.

No problem. Points will do.Jaina Solo's perception changes nothing. People get stuff wrong all the time. Jaina Solo is just as fallible. Concentrate on the actual feat. It was a dropship class vessel.
More importantly, Turbolasers have different specifications. Their potency varies accordingly.
You cannot expect Jacen Solo to deflect firepower of a Harrower-class or more advanced Starship, do you?
As for all that power-progression, provide solid evidence of it.
It is hyperbole unless you expect Luke Skywalker to be strong enough to affect or resist a cosmic blackhole. Not even Abeloth could do that.
Provide evidence then.
Question should be how big Darth Vader's fortress was.
Problem: We don't have an idea.
As for examples:
1. Vaylin destroyed the main power station of a metropolis during her pursuit of the Outlander. The entire structure was massive.
(damaged) buildings simultaneously. This resulted in a mountain of rubble in the region.
2. An unidentified Jedi Master collapsed [B]twoI am sure there are more examples.

Any comments?
Kyp Durron struggled as much as Luke Skywalker.
You perceive Kyp Durron to be above Darth Vader? Many do not. [/B]
1. He is also implied to be more powerful than all Jedi, bar Luke and Kyp, in NJO, only to grow vastly in his journey and every day in LotF.
2. When you think that it is hyperbole, than also statements like Calkorion being "godlike'.
Also, it implies at least that nearly nothing can affect him-not even UnuThul, whichs raw power is > Valkorions imo. I'll try to find his best feats, as well.
3. Ellimist did.
4. Luke was also vastly more powerful, than guys who could destroy starcaises mid-battle.
5. You can't use the feat to lowball Luke. Also, in JA was implied, that Kyp's raw power > Vader's raw power.

I am not denying his 'power progression' with passage of time. But the statements like "only to grow vastly in his journey" need to be substantiated.
Did he surpass Kyp Durron for example? Because many characters experience 'power progression' with passage of time. If Jacen Solo was growing in power, same was true for Kyp Durron.
---
And even if Jacen Solo (supposedly) vastly grew in power, where does he stand in the big picture?
Revan vastly grew in power since the era of Mandalorian Wars (confirmed in the novel), but he could not contend with the Emperor regardless of that.
A lesson to be learned from the aforementioned example is that statements like "only to grow vastly in his journey" do not tell us much.

Only one conclusion makes sense, that that revelation was hyperbole.
Valkorion is godlike in the sense that he is an immortal being with extraordinary raw power and cannot be stopped through conventional methods. Even if you destroy his avatar, he will make another and resume his exploits. A lone Jedi or Sith cannot hope to defeat him, and would be overwhelmed in a prolonged struggle.

If Kyp Durron is indeed more powerful than Darth Vader, than this fact should be brought to our attention.
NOTE: I am asking for quotes because I do not have the time to read so many novels.

His teleportation will keep him out of Luke's reach, and his Force superiority is large enough that he can pull the majority

There's no evidence Luke can get to him in the fractions of a second before Vakorion one shots him. And if he does get to him, he'll do what he did to Arcann and deflect his lightsaber with the force and his arms.
