Palpatine spent decades on political maneuvering to get what he wanted. Exar Kun just blew the doors open, strode in, imposed mind control on the entire Senate, slew the Chancellor, slew his own former Master, and just walked off with his troops and his apprentice. It took the *entire Jedi Order* to finally stop Kun at Yavin IV just before he could shed his physical form and became a being of pure of Dark Side energy. I have no idea why people think that Palpatine was more powerful. Exar Kun *far* surpassed him, to the point where he didn't even need to care about politics, subverting the Republic from within, or concealing himself from the Jedi. A titan among the Sith indeed! Keep in mind that the Jedi of this era were *much* more powerful than the ones we see in the later Republic eras. Their Masters commonly taught them advanced Force powers and instead of young Padwans, their apprentices were usually adults. Yet none of this stopped Exar Kun. Only the entire Order rallying against him did so. In contrast, Palpatine nearly lost his fight with Mace Windu, and literally won his duel with Yoda only by having longer arms.
yep like for example look at what we know of the dantoonian council members most of them could use force severe one of the most powerful force powers in the lore and some of them were involved in this conflict or at least alive. also i strongly think jolee bindo is one of the most underrated of all jedi he was involved in that war and even as a padawan apparently was a war hero plus how he spent the next decades living in a region of kashyyk that was quite dangerous given it had Terentatek and various other highly dangerous monsters living in the area that often could kill groups of elite jedi
Exar kun wasn't even on his prime and the lore states that he would had grown even more powerful than he was when he archived in corporeal immortality but because over 3000 jedi performed a extremely powerful wall of light on yavin4 which would had sever of the force any other sith not name exar kun papaltine reborn vitiate or caedus, exar kun used some of his force energy to prevent the destruction of the 4 moon of yavin4 exar kun was light years far beyond any sith or jedi of that era including vitiate who was hidding at that time

In the 90s, I was an American student in London. My class did a tour of the Parliament. I doubt I could find the spot on a map, 30yrs later. But at one point, we were through the security checkpoints but not yet inside the building. It was a courtyard… I think the British word is a Mewes. They had some cars parked in the little enclosure. Our tour guide pointed to a large smudge on the wall, and said that is the closest the IRA ever came to actually blowing up the place. I’m getting that kind of vibe from Exar Kun. (Which sounds to me like what you’d call a Japanese child.)
This is so awesome! He just walked in the Senate,killed Chancellor the most horrifying way and walked offThis is amazing. So powerful. Real TITAN of the Sith as you said! May the Force be with you too😊
Darth Gravid for damn sure 🤦🏾 Trying to combine 2 diametrically opposed teachings into 1 was the stupidest decision that costed the Sith centuries of Dark Side knowledge before his apprentice killed him. Edit: changed orders into teachings and added a needed period
According to Darth Bane novels, around the time of KOTOR, Sith religion and practices were banned from the Republic, Jedi made sure of that. I guess assasinating the chancellor was the main reason why senators complied with this.

Exar kun is an absolute beast..and then Disney does…..well we know…dude your content is top tier..keep it goin..you obviously work your ass off..good stuff
It's interesting how times changed. At this time the Sith went so far just to make a point of how pointless the republic was. Then, thousands of years later, Sedious used the republic as a tool to destroy the Jedi and take over the galaxy. It would be interesting to hear many of the conversations Sedious would have with the old masters, both before and after the empire was formed but this one in particular would hold more weight.
Hey Stupendous any updates on the Ulic Qel-Droma Bio and Power Scaling video, like you did with Satele Shan, Count Dooku, and Arcann. We have 6 vids on Exar Kun, 3 of which are about his double bladed Lightsaber. Not one video on the only man able to duel him to a draw though, let's make this vid happen. His story is worth being told in the holocrons from Jedi, to sith lord, to his path to redemption and peace. Let's get this holocron made, your friend and patron Samson

Can you do a Whole analysis of General Grievous Personal lightsaber style? We know he has knowledge of all 7 forms of lightsaber combat but what about his lightsaber style he preferred himself?
The Younglings Anakin killed didn't have a bunch of Jedi in the room when he did it. Anakin could spare the time because the 501st were gunning down Jedi throughout the Temple. Exar Kun didn't even care that there were Jedi in the Senate chamber. They were insignificant to him.

Bleeding crystals is a new Disney EU thing.

One does not simply walk into the senate building
Unless they are Exar Kun, one of the most awesome and powerful Sith of all time, most who walked into his path got obliterated. XD
When you can mind control hundreds of millions of people at the same time, with the Qazoi Kyantuska technique, it’s not that far fetched.
Mace Windu walked into the chancellor Palpatines office with Palpatine sitting right there
"I am THE SENATE"
Actually, one does

This dude was Doom Marine / Doomguy levels of savagery. You gotta admit , that’s hardcore as fuck.

Both Malgus and Vader sacked the Jedi temple. That should have been mentioned.

Bro was an absolute unit
Exar Kun was definitely one of the best villains in Legends. He could easily be brought into canon, too.
It wouldn’t be an issue he is far off the timeline.
Exar Kun already is canon, along with pattern in crime Ulic Qel-Droma.
*Nihilus enters the chat*
He could easily get butchered nerfed watered down emasculated humiliated and turned into a lighthearted family friendly joke
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

This is savage it shows how different the old Sith were to the new Sith
Exar Kun was also one of the Sith Lords who kept his lightsaber as it was when he was a Jedi. There were others of course.
The 'blood' saber wasn't an official thing yet.
It's kinda funny how blue color feels evil only on his pictures
This is not Disney star wars
No he constructed his lightsaber from Freedon Nadd's Holocron
Exar Kun and Mandalore the Indomitable are just awesome.
