[@herpderp5727]

Except, he's not. When Palatine killed Plagueis, an earthquake shook the entire planet of Coruscant. He saw that the stars themselves were realigning as if to christen his ascension. He has constantly been stated to be the most powerful sith lord in history. This was before Dark Empire, where he received a younger clone body and became vastly more powerful. He granted non force sensitivities power on the level of Dark Jedi. He can use Force Storm, a technique that was stated to have power to destroy worlds through his own willpower. And, to permanently kill him and ensure he doesn't revive himself, the spirits of every Jedi that had ever existed in the 25,000 years in the order's history had to wage a constant spiritual war. Not only was he so powerful, but he was also arguably the most influential Sith. While his reign over the galaxy only lasted for 20 years: 1. This was over the ENTIRE galaxy, not a portion of it, not half of it while fighting for the other half, ALL of it. Something no Sith before him had ever done. The One Sith after him only ruled the galaxy for 10 years. He all but eradicated the Jedi order, something where only the First Jedi purge came close to doing. 2. His influence is so widespread and so profound, that (as Darth Tenebrous predicted) the galaxy marked time based on his actions, events being recorded based on how far they preceded him and how far they passed. I'm talking about the Battle of Yavin, where the galactic calendar is marked BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (After the Battle of Yavin).

As per legends Exar Kuns lightsaber was far better than described. He added extra gems and controls, allowing him to "power down" a blade, making it just a beam of light. Turning the strength contest into an assassination where he could turn the blade from solid plasma to mere light, then turn it back into plasma and deactivate the other blade as he decapitates his target.

"Isard would have had you digitized, analyzed and discarded without a second thought, and she wasn't even Force-sensitive. Darth Vader would have found you amusingly quaint, and the Emperor... well." Mara Jade's eyes flashed mercilessly. "The Emperor succeeded in destroying the Jedi, so he'd see you as the very definition of failure!" "But your beloved Emperor is DEAD!"

I actually had the second half of that comic! ya, Exar Kun was a total chad and a perfect example of how the Jedi keep screwing themselves and the republic over. If his master had allowed him to investigate the sith and taken his concerns seriously, with appropriate guidance given the possible corruption of the dark side, there is a real chance the sith would have stayed dormant for quite a while longer.

[@levongevorgyan6789]

I interpreted it the other way. The Jedi in this Era were too permissive. Master Arca Jeth simply told Exar Kun off from exploring the tomb of Freedon Nadd, he did nothing to stop him. While Master Vodo didn’t do anything about the blatant arrogance, prejudice, and ambition in his apprentice, other then trying to reach him a lesson by dueling him. The Jedi in this era were remarkably close to one another. Both Arca Jeth and Vodo cared for their apprentices like their own children, and thus in my opinion were too lax with them. While in Ulics case this went the other way as once Master Jeth was slain, he fell to the dark side in a quest to avenge him. I think this lead directly to Revans era where the Jedi Masters tried to refrain from developing such closeness with their apprentices. Which in turn lead to the Jedi Covenant and their willingness to kill their apprentices, or Atris not taking apprentices, or just the general coldness of the Jedi of that era.

I'd put my money on Exar Kun over Palpatine 7 days a week.

Anybody notice how the dark Rey character matches the Force Unleashed 2 Starkiller? The pose, the lightsaber, Haden Blackman really needs to get back to it.

Exar-Kun: The story of a man too angry to die

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Geetsly's, when are you gonna make vids about Vodo-Siosk Baas, Ulic-Qel Droma, Aleema Keto, Nomi Sunrider, and Arden Lyn? Also, can you do a vid about Exar Kun's plan with Kyp Durron in the future?

[@TheNinjaKiwi1]

I’d love to see something about that as well! Nomi Sunrider’s story as well as Ulic’s and Vima’s was one of my absolute favorites!

Leave it to the Sith to make one of the coolest lightsaber variants

Tales of The Jedi was truly something else. Star Wars, but with Lord of The Rings-like aesthetics and gravitas. Just imagine what it could have been like if put on screen........

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

Disney will ruin it with wokeness and poorly writing

[@cosinguspalpatine4449]

YES!! Do Ulec Qel-Droma next plz!

[@hunterkiller1440]

I wonder if the Jedi with double blade lightsaber put them to shame too.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Maybe, but these Jedi are prone to be close to the Dark Side.

Krell?

There's also Bastila, but she either fell to the Dark Side permanently, until her death by Revan's hand, or temporarily, the records are vague...

@@geetslys I think that character was made with two double bladed lightsabers to spite Plinkett.

I can never NOT hear Exar Kun as said by an anime girl. "Kyaaa Exar-kun!"

[@ninamcclure2193]

That was a great story thank you.

I love exar kuun he's one of my all time favorite characters

So in a battle Royale, who would win? Bane, Revan, Kun, or Vader? Lightsabres only.

[@rayvnstevens]

Who would win in a fight and why? Exar Kun vs Tulak Hord? ( possible misspelling).

[@joeottsoulbikes415]

Don't forget about the Sith Lord that did not even use a lightsaber. Dressed in unassuming robes usually brown or earth tones. He was however the most dangerous Sith acting to bring down the republic right in front of us. We never recognized it because of the unassuming, friendly public personality. Even did funny things. Skilled in persuasion over the Senate, able to fight without it even looking like it. Always escaping danger. Darth Jar Jar!!!! Hahahahaha!😂🤣

[@pedrovargas2181]

LOL

[@lfranklin118]

Wasn’t he able to use his double blade with just one hand?

would absolutely love any videos about the old republic

Kun's life would make a great game series.

[@magnussoncasserole4863]

Especially since he's primarily a lightsaber combatist it would be cool for a VR game

OLD REPUBLIC > HIGH REPUBLIC

[@stargatecommand714]

Have you tried reading any of it?

[@stargatecommand714]

@Azreal Cinder It is. The comics are interesting and they're doing a superb job of interconnecting the individual stories. I'm still working on Light of the Jedi, but it's really gripping, especially the first hundred pages or so with the Great Disaster. The next novel in the series just dropped and it's been getting quite a bit of praise from more than a few prominent KZbinrs

[@jun.subere4319]

What coincidence i just read this last month.....that double blade lightsaber is inspired from his master Baas....

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

And later both the future jedi and sith would adopt the double-bladed lightsaber.
