Kun Pulls A Nihilus

Started by AncientPower11 pages

The ship was buried and the temple constructed over it. The bowels of the temple are the alchemical grounds for experiments. It isn't a hangar at all, the sacrifice pit is directly abovd it. There was legit no conventional means of the ship leaving.

Mmm, but there's anti-ancient agenda at play 🙂

Anyways, the only distinct aspect of Nihilus' telekinetic resurrection of the Ravager was that he used telekinesis in the process. Ergo, Kun's "similar" accomplishment would've also involved telekinesis. I'm hardly ranking Kun higher because he has it, lol.

Hardly jumping the gun. I noted the circumstances in the other thread as well. It's not overwhelming, it's just enough to establish Kun as a telekinetic powerhouse and not lackluster as some people suggest.

I'd say you wank ancients more than I undermine them tbh.

No, I think the passage is just drawing a parallel between Nihilus' and Kun's choice of flagship: resurrected shipwrecks.

That makes the feat all the more better really 👆

I just read the comic and all we see is "Exar Kun has brought the starship to the light of day."

If you have a scan of how Kun resurrects the ship and its not telekinesis, then obviously that takes precedence. I was under the impression that the actual resurrection wasn't shown on-panel though, which is why I made the case above. But tomorrow, I'll see whatever you present and if it contradicts the quote above, then obviously the source material takes precedence.

It's not necessarily the resurrection itself, merely the finding of the Corsair in a good condition (contrary to the Ravager). There seems to be no reason whatsoever that Kun had to use Telekinesis in order to get the ship free, again in contrary to the Ravager which was literally buried on Malachor V.

I can't upload my scan, it's to big. In TotJ: Dark Lords of the Sith 5 we see Exar Kun discovering the ship under the temple, I assumed it was a hangar because well that's the place most people save their ships. Even assuming that there is no normal way for the ship to exit the temple, which would seem extremely illogical, there is no reason to believe Kun had to use any form of Force power to get it free.

EDIT: If there really wasn't a normal way for the ship to leave the temple that would mean the upper part of the temple had to be destroyed, something which is unsupported.

It's just that it seems rather pointless to say 'Kun found Sadow's ship, turned it on, and left'. It's most likely meant in the context of it being an impressive achievement for Kun, and just starting up the engines and flying away isn't even worth mentioning, even if it's Sadow's ship.

This is supported by? The quote just draws parallels between Nihilus's and Kun's choise of their flagship.

Yeah, because Nihilus' feat was impressive, not because of the flagship itself.

In the end, this is all personal interpretation of context. I believe it would make no sense for the author to point out Kun was going to use Sadow's ship just because it's Sadow's ship, but rather he makes the comparison to Nihilus because it's something impressive.

But maybe it's not about the Nihilus's feat? The fact that the situations aren't comparable in the sense that Kun's ship was in a good state compared to the Ravager proves enough. That's actually evidence instead of a personal opinion .

Where's it said it was in a good state?

The scan of TotJ shows it is but like I said, it's to big to be uploaded. The scan shows that Kun finds Sadow's ship in a big room (as big as a hangar) and there is nothing that could have damaged it or anything in that area. It's in a good state compared to Nihilus's Ravager.

For the third time, it is not a hangar at all, it is Naga Sadow's personal chamber of alchemical apparatus.

Either way, there's no reason for Naga Sadow to leave it somewhere where it's difficult to access.

I said it was as big as a hangar to give an idea of well how big the room is. Kun finds Sadow's work in a room NEXT to the room where he found the ship.

Except he was actually hiding it for the day he could attack the stars again....

So? He wanted to use it again so it would be completely unlogical (and unsupported) that there would be no normal way for the ship to exit the temple especially since we don't know the exact working of the temple itself.

Yes we do, we have an entire section by section cut-out of the far larger Great Temple.. which has absolutely no room for a full sized Sith Battlecruiser. The ring of fire that Kun killed the wyrm in, is above the chamber containing the Corsair.

Sadow hid the ship by burying it deep beneath the Temple of fire, he clearly didn't want his single genuine ship being discovered.
