There's plenty, and it's been a concept since Empire strikes back. Life energy was thought to be present in most living beings, surrounding and penetrating them, thus making all living things connected by the Force. If the life energy of the planet is Bnar's source of power than clearly he uses his roots to connect to whatever energy is present on the planet - which by DE isn't much.
Ziggy, I'm well aware that your argument has basis as a
theory, but none of this precludes an energy source in the planetary core independent of the surface, and you've raised nothing that demands we assume it to be.
On the other hand on top of the energy Bnar unleashed against Sedriss being incongruous with the barren state of the world, there is the added fact that Bnar describes this source of power as one Kun cannot imagine. Kun presumably being familiar with Force Basics 101 as you've expounded on here, on top of harnessing said power using the Dark Reaper. And yet this energy sources falls outside of his understanding.
There still exists some people on the planet, just not that many, all translated to Kun being substantially more powerful than Sedriss - which is evident in a number of logical comparisons
Aside from the unlikelihood that Bnar planting roots to draw on this energy source has any bearing on those detached from the planet, the few survivors of the cataclysm would represent less than a percentile of the planet's previous 250 million population, its hundreds of Jedi and its celestial body of flora and fauna. And if such a fraction of Bnar's power is what he unleashed in DE, then in TotJ he should have blown Exar Kun into next week.
Now why isn't Vader able to ragdoll Kanan and Ezra?
Because of PIS? I thought we addressed Vader's jobbing already.

Wrong, the only quote they had in their arsenal was retconned. So the comparison has gone from this - Kun not being able to overcome Bnar, while Sedriss could - which was disproven by a more objective quote stating Bnar destroyed them both - which Beni conceded.Beni then made the comparison that Sedirss managed to actually get Bnar to kill himself where Kun didn't, which was countered by the simple fact that Kun came out of the interaction unharmed, while Bnar could have ended a war by actually killing Kun - so why didn't he? Probably because he can't, while Sedriss was disintegrated.
To which I
responded that he wasn't the same position to ensnare Kun.
So I'm afraid the comparison still stands. 👆
