Kun Pulls A Nihilus

And how did Kun supposedly TK'd the ship, then? If it was beneath a temple.

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.

Sure it is. The Corsair not only plays an important part later on in the story, but it also explains how Exar was able to escape Yavin 4.

Clearly he had some kind of hole made for the ship to rise out of the ground, be it his powers or his Massassi work force.

Kun:

Nihilus:

This is an old excerpt. Can't speak for anyone else, but the reason I glossed over it for all these years is because it's not so much a declaration of great TK as it is declaring that both Kun and Nihilus made important use of shipwrecks for their flagships.

Yeah nowhere is it explicitly stated or even implied that that TK is involved.

The two sections have a beautiful symmetry. Each Sith Lord made use of a derelict vessel for their flagship, the likes of which everyone thought was destroyed.

The Kunts are going to need to need something a bit more substantive to defend the notion that it's an explicit reference to brute TK.

But yeah, I also doubt the TotJ comics would have omitted to depict such a momentous feat if it had truly occurred.

😆

To be fair, it does directly compare it to how Nihilus "raised" the Ravager, which would be an odd choice of words if he were just generically refurbishing a ship.

The Corsair wasn't a wreck to begin with, it was entombed and preserved.

Furthermore, it makes a very clear distinction: Exar Kun raised the ship and made it spaceworthy again. The fact that it makes a comparison to Nihilus raising the Ravager out of the gravity well of Malachor V, only serves to help us draw this conclusion easier.

Talk about desperate measures.

Fully retarded. Odan-Urr, the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy, had his Sever Force attack rebuked and was one-shotted by Exar Kun, this a pre-prime incarnation of the Dark Lord.

He also has Force choking a group of melded Jedi prodigies, which shits on any of Vader's combative telekinetic displays, and this was a source-less, exhausted shade of Exar Kun.

Nice to see we've concluded Exar Kun > Darth Vader in telekinesis as well. 😂

Even if we took your interpretation, that would not necessarily even put him above Dooku, who was TK'ing somewhat smaller ships but much more quickly and on a whim. Heck OCW Anakin did a similar thing to a dread naught. Exar had an arbitrary amount of time to gather his energies.

If Kun beats Vader it's because of his sorcery, not his telekinesis lol.

None of the ships Dooku dealt with can compare to a heavily armoured Battleship, the thing is an extremely durable battleship, not just some frigate.

Importantly, Kun didn't just pull it to the ground or launch it forwards at something. He lifted the thing directly upwards for hundreds of feet. I doubt I have to explain why lifting and suspending something is much more difficult.

Yeah, actually, the point of this thread was to get people debating what "similar to the way Nihilus resurrected the Ravager" means. I take it as telekinesis because that's the most distinct thing about Nihilus' resurrection of the Ravager.

Is it the most distinct thing, or is it just the only thing we care about?

Even if Temp's interpretation was correct, his logic must also entertain that telekinetically raising the ship for use was just as relevant a part of what Nihilus did as anything else.

I don't follow.

He's trying to claim it's just a perfect comparison between what the two of them did, but then that would also include the fact that Nihilus used his powers to raise the Ravager and thus the same applies to Exar Kun. Something supported by the wording of the quote Nova brought up.
