It's stated that only the most powerful Jedi went to Katarr, including Vandar.
Then again, logically, that's pretty stupid, since I doubt those no-namers who went to Katarr were above the likes of Vrook, who is already confirmed as one of the most powerful Jedi of his time.
Still, just based on portrayals in KotOR alone, Vandar seems to be at least equal to Vrook in raw power. Also, I believe he's the highest opponent in the training arena mod? I know it's not canon, but it's probably somewhat indicative of combat skill.
Either way, Vandar probably wins via telekinetic domination or Severing Galen's connection to the Force. And if it came to a duel, I'd still support Vandar, probably with ease.
Vandar went, Vrook didn't. Ergo, Vandar fits the bill as the most powerful Jedi, and Vrook apparently doesn't.That, and the fact that Vandar's essentially analogous to Yoda for the KotOR era and is a stated leader of the Council. Not that either inherently mean he's more powerful than the others, but based on holistic portrayal, that's easily inferred.
Vandar, he's implied to be the most powerful member of the council. His character is comparable to Yoda (all around, not that he's Yoda's equal) so it can be implied that he has extensive knowledge and skill. Galen is decent overall but he's not much above a normal high end Jedi Knight, skilled and strong but nothing to write home about. So I'd say Vandar.
DB. You understand that Vandar is completely and utterly featless, correct?
You understand that the only possible gauge of his abilities we have is a comparison to Vrook based on Vrook not being on Katarr at the time he was which is extremely dubious based on a number of factors.
And you understand that Galen, someone who was able to make Sidious work for a win and has some of the best feats in the mythos would utterly crush Vandar?
Originally posted by UCanShootMyNovaVandar is suggested as being the most powerful Jedi of the time, aside from Revan and (possibly) Meetra Surik. While he has no feats, his accolades and hype suggest that he is pretty powerful. As for Galen, he's complete and total ****ing shit. He has raw power that's it, he has little Force mastery and he's a shit duelist. Vader was ****ing dominating his duel with Galen until Galen started using psychological tactics, and Sidious wasn't even close to using his full strength against Galen. Galen's ONLY impressive feat is guiding the Star Destroyer on Raxus Prime, and that took EVERY LAST BIT of his strength to do it; he can't access that kind of power on a whim. If Sidious or Vader had truly wanted Galen dead, they would have stomped his ass into the ground.

Where? Where is he suggested to be the most powerful Jedi of his time?
I'm sorry but your opinion < quotes that put Galen as a near perfect duelist before the TFU novel.
Vader was stalemating Galen until Galen attempted Dun Moch which backfired and enraged Vader allowing him to land a blow before Galen proceeds to beat him both in lightsaber combat and dominate him in the Force.
What is your standard for impressive? Is throwing back hundreds of droids, causing an artificial hurricane and earthquake, buckling a landing platform, destroying the supports of an orbital superstructure or causing Sidious to exert enough effort to be described as "desperate" not impressive?
That's why Vader let himself be beat despite the novel clearly stating his intentions to eliminate him?
Jesus Christ.
