POLL - Darth Malak w/ Star Forge vs Exar Kun (VOTE!)

Vote in the poll.

I guess Malak because of a random sentence in a random article that Leland Chee liked.

Don't forget to vote in the poll.

Exar Kun wins.

Kun due to superior skill. Should be a close fight, though.

Yes, we all know he dwelled a lot on the implications that statement of relative power had on the continuity (outside of ~2017+ vs. debating, it meant nothing as 99+% of fans and authors didn't even know it existed).

To be clear, I'm not rejecting it.

You could apply this logic to nigh all quotes tho.

This logic doesn't apply. That's the iffy problem.

Hence why I'm not rejecting it, though I don't think it applies to all quotes (e.g. Palpatine has like a dozen supremacy quotes and the non-vs. EU fandom is pretty aware of his position as the most powerful Sith).

Exar Kun does have better demonstrations of technical skill and knowledge than Malak does to my knowledge, though I doubt that'd be enough to overcome someone "far more powerful" than him if that "power" is actualized.

That's primarily because Malak's a less established character.

Malak's far superior powers should translate to, at the very least, substantially greater physicals. Malak's also noted to have emphasized heavily on lightsaber combat, with his combat achievements in the Mandalorian Wars allegedly just as influential as Revan's military tactics, and apparently pressured Darth Revan to a "desperate" state in their first duel (which is more impressive than beating Vodo). There's really no reason why Kun should win because of an imaginary advantage.

Mainly though, Malak's proven to be highly capable of interweaving his Force powers and lightsaber combat together, so if he's far more powerful than Kun that will definitely determine the fight.

I think Malak's power advantage isn't enough to override Kun's skill advantage. Simple.

Skill in what, lmfao?

Lightsaber combat. What else lol

Oh, this should be good.

I'd like to see a case how Kun's raw technical skill is so much better than Malak's that it somehow outstrips Malak's stated vast Force superiority.

Is it Kun's genius re-discovery of the double-bladed lightsaber? His circumstantial triumph over Vodo?

Not doing extensive debates until summer, sorry. No popcorn this time.

tl;dr me then

Ant, would you have given this to Malak sans the Wizards quote?
