"Part flesh and part machine, the renegade Jedi Master was proficient with the Force, and quick with it as well. Every blow the apprentice tried to make was instantly blocked by either end of the whirling pike. As fast as he lunged or retreated, the mechanical legs outpaced him. Paratus hopped around the dilapidated chamber like a deranged jumping spider."
Seemed impressive enough to me. Plus Paratus should have a Force edge tbh.

He did no such thing:
As he walked cautiously forward, feeling the nearness of Kazdan Paratus but uncertain of his exact location, one of the rubbish piles stirred. From it stepped a humanoid machine made from the junked droid parts he had expected to find on his journey.
The braincase of an FX-8 medical droid was bolted onto a body cobbled together from several types of outdated protocol models. Its limbs appeared to come from a mixture of EV and B1 battle droids, tipped with instruments and tools that wouldn't looked out of place in a workshop. Its sole functioning photoreceptor glared a bright, furious yellow. Its lurching gait achieved an appreciable speed before he sliced its head off.
Not that it would translate into combative prowess. Vaylin was ripping apart mulit-stories high building and was beaten by Senya...
Who do you think was animating said droids? Who do you think rebuilt the Jedi temple?
Also given Kazdan was stated to be a tougher threat then Rahm Kota and proficient in the Force in a scenario where he was not using combative applications of the Force ( aside from augmentation ) I'd say it's pretty impressive.

Animated? They are droids...And considering Kota laughed at Galen's lightning and tutaminis'd it while Kazdan got roflstomped I doubt he's the tougher opponent.
They are junk parts Kazdan was holding together and directing with his will.
Then why would Vader say he didn't expect Galen to survive against Kazdan when he did against Rahm. Unless you're suggesting Vader lied to mess with Galen, he simply grew in power enough to defeat Kazdan as easily as he did. Feel free to have your opinion but I hold the latter.
