Exar Kun was, and still is, one of my favorite Star Wars characters of all time. That double-bladed lightsaber, man, that really got my attention when I was a kid.
Exar Kun was born to be a Sith, if he was trained as a Jedi, that's because he was born in an era when the Republic was strong and the (True) Sith Empire was hidden and thought extinct
Thank you for this! I really enjoy Tales of the Jedi. Probably even more than its follow up The Knights of the Old Republic video games, although those are awesome as well. I know it won't happen, but once the Old Republic era becomes a part of Canon, I would really love for Naga Sadow, Exar Kun, The Qel-Droma Bros, Nomi Sunrider, and other characters from TOTJ to be made canon as well. Just have a deep love for them and the comic book series. Like I said, it probably won't happen, but man it would be freakin' cool!
Oh come on, they aren't doing THAT bad... As a matter of fact, canon is doing way better within 2 years than Legends ever has. Gotta admit that most of it was nothing but cheese.
Hey, I love your videos! Could I make a suggestion, though? Would you mind adding a short list of media that the subject of the video has appeared in? Like, if it's a character from the comics, which issues they appeared in. Just a suggestion, it'd help us find out more. Thanks!
nightmareX1993 I was considering starting a "Required Reading" series sometime down the line for characters. But I could add sources in the descriptions for now. In the case of Exar Kun, read the Tales of the Jedi comics and the Jedi Academy Trilogy of novels.
I don’t get how Exar Kun, arguably the most powerful Sith Lord ever, basically singlehandedly annihilated Ossus, a powerful Jedi planet strong in the light side of the force, only to be defeated by 7 force sensitive kids and Luke. And just keep in mind that although Luke is a second generation Skywalker, Exar Kun is an ancient, Puritan Sith Lord who had to be imprisoned because he wouldn’t die.
jedi and sith holocrons are devises to store info, like a super advanced hard drive that can only be open up by the force, they have a huge storage capacity heres a link for more info starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Holocron/Legends
He's not canon . "While Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus is no longer considered part of the canon and is now classified as part of Star Wars Legends, a similar character known as Kylo Ren appears in the canon film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Like Jacen, he too was a son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, and was seduced by the dark side, taking on a new name."
this is the guy that put luke Skywalker traped as a spirit in his own body I think and now han an liea had kids now at least nien numb an lando callrisseon helped them
+Luke H. Trahan No I meant like he was in the temple, Forever in it. Because in the Storyline of SW JK:JA They Said there is a Strange Force in the temple that the Reborn Sith Want and I said Exar Kun is that target.
+LaStriata Kun was a couple thousand years before Bane, the reason why he had no Darth title was because the last time that moniker was used was during the time of the original Sith Empire, ruled by Naga Sadow, during that time the only known Sith to have the Darth title was Darth Andeddu. I think guys like Exar Kun and Freedon Nadd eschewed the Darth title so they could make a new Sith order that didn't cling to the past, but Idk if that's true, the Sith who renewed the use of the title was Emperor Vitiate, who turned Malak and Revan to the Dark Side, they reinstituted the Darth title and the Sith used it for a long time until the Brotherhood of Darkness who eschewed it because they believed it made the members of their order easy targets, but Bane allowed the Title to thrive once again after he destroyed the Brotherhood, and thus it was used forever more.
Man, I hated the Jedi Academy trilogy... I'm glad you didn't go into detail about how Exar Kun was finally defeated, because it's one of the most ridiculous climaxes in the EU.
Well that’s too bad you feel that way. It was a great series. Showing us Luke can go through difficult times and yet still rise above. His order can be attacked and yet he never retreated like the Luke we are seeing created by Disney Lucas Film
Do you just plan on making Star Wars Minutes, or do you have plans for any other series? Also, can you go over the Ubese race? They are a race often overlooked and one of my favorite races in Star Wars. Cheers, ROBOHITLER
For now it's just Star Wars Minutes and the monthly canon updates. But if there are other series people would like to see, I'd certainly entertain the idea. For example, some topics deserve more than a minute or two. Why do you ask? Do you have anything in mind?
Star Wars Minute I haven't got any ideas, to be honest. Perhaps you could do things that relate to the future of Star Wars (speculation, etc) , someone as educated as yourself on these topics would be interesting to hear from.
ROBOHITLER Well you can definitely expect me to speculate when the next trailer for TFA comes out haha. And I'll be doing some speculation on Rogue One in the March canon update. I'm just doing this like Indiana Jones. Making it up as I go...
+Star Wars Minute would you ever be willing to do maybe one video a month or so dedicated to The complete story of a certain character? somewhat like Evannova95 does? like his the story of Darth Krayt video? I think you would be amazing at those
Exar Kun was, and still is, one of my favorite Star Wars characters of all time. That double-bladed lightsaber, man, that really got my attention when I was a kid.
The Tales of The Jedi and The Golden Age of the Sith = best Era of Star Wars ancient history
Your refering to the great sith war, after the golden age of the sith which ended the death with Marka Ragnos.
I remember watching these videos when they came out. I still can't believe it's been 8 years. I really do miss Star Wars Legends
Man that's some really 90s art.
+Sam Weth God it brings me back...
***** is pretty X-treme if you know what i mean.
clearly youre not a follower of exar kuns history bro. and this art? nah son this is good by 90s standards
You should do a video about the differences between Dark Jedi and The Sith.
SirTAD That's a good one!

One of my favourite Sith/Dark Jedi.
I love how it obvious to everyone that one day Exar Kun would become a huge problem.
Awesome video as always. 🙌
i believe Kun is pronounced "koon". It just sounds better.
You are correct. Just found out today haha, it just always read the other way in my head. Oh well!
I thought Kun was said like the Japanese honorific kun
it really doesn't if you just thought about what you said.
As always, wonderful video Star Wars Explained!
Who knows? Thanks to Disney, Exar Kun might be Exar Chan the evil Sith Disney Princess.
Oh come on, they aren't doing THAT bad... As a matter of fact, canon is doing way better within 2 years than Legends ever has. Gotta admit that most of it was nothing but cheese.
Zachary Jorgensen Is Exar Kun Canon? im a newbie
disney is doing fine for the time they own star wars..srop whining already
I like that no one got the joke.
Disney Star Wars is best Star Wars
I'm in love with this
Awesome, dude! Let the uninitiated bear witness to true power.
Love your videos man! Well produced too.
Legends never die!
Would like to know more about the Jedi geologists
Exar Kun the power behind the throne.
Saying his name makes me sound like a weeb
yeah like kun lun
Ulic Qel-Droma: "I hope Exar-sempai notices me!"
Well then you must sound like a weeb
Ara ara, Exar-kun.
Very Interesting
This dude sounds dope
Could you do a video about the Jedi Civil War :)? As always great work :D
My favorite Sith Lord!

Star Wars Minute Awesome, thanks!
I'd also recommend the novel I, Jedi, which takes place at the same time as the Jedi Academy Trilogy and also features Kun.

often I am a ligth sifr supporter, but Kun is too badass! He musted win against the Jedi
You forgot to mention that it was Marka Ragnos' spirit who proclaimed Exar Kun as a Dark Lord of the Sith.
Do Freddon Nadd!
can u put in the comentaries or description of the video the comics/ books where u take ur refferences ?
Is there a Kyp Durron video?
Please make a video about the Mandalorian Wars!
what about an Odan Urr episode? biography and his jedi code..
Could you do a video on bespin
Do a video about clone troopers vs storm troopers
History of Freedon Nadd??
Are you guys going to do Freedon Nadd?
The the real "EXX KOON"
Would be great to get a video on the Yuuzhan Vong.
Lance Moody Well you're in for a real treat on Friday!
Lance Moody Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/l-mncjvDbVc/w-d-xo.html
Dumb question, but what does the sith holocron do?
jedi and sith holocrons are devises to store info, like a super advanced hard drive that can only be open up by the force, they have a huge storage capacity
heres a link for more info starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Holocron/Legends
Also it can contain the Sith's souls.
exar kun.....t
So he corrupted students at Luke's academy, sound familiar, that's what snoke did that, he is snoke!?!?!?!?
Exar Kun was thousands of years before Snoke.
GabiN64 Not to mention, another universe.
Could you do a video about star wars? like what is it even?
+Brian Schlageter its a fairy tale
Badass
always thought it was koon not kun
was exar kun the first sith ever
jo
+Skyler Andrade *No
I love it everytime a TH-cam SW commentator pronounces Kun as 'c***'.
What if this guy's spirit corrupted/tempted Ben solo
Ben solo? Who is this Ben Solo you speak of? Han's kids are Jaina, Anakin, and Jacen Solo.
Han Solo only have 1 kid. Ben. The others are legend and not canon
He's not canon . "While Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus is no longer considered part of the canon and is now classified as part of Star Wars Legends, a similar character known as Kylo Ren appears in the canon film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Like Jacen, he too was a son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, and was seduced by the dark side, taking on a new name."
Kylo Ren is canon im afraid xD
I agree with Blazer Hell
Why did Luke Skywalker choose Yavin 4 for his Jedi Praxeum. Did he not know that it had sith temples?
Exar Kun is a cool name, similar to Kylo Ren. Disney stole the name of Exar Kun the suit of Revan
Fun fact: there was a space pirate named Kybo Ren in the Droids cartoon.
that it ?
I watched your Rakata video
Why they go extinct
Darth Raven
which comic does he appear in?
+theundeadthrasher Tales of the Jedi. Same with Naga Sadow.
+Star Wars Minute ty
who is Naga shadow sounds like someone in the techno union
Sorry for the grammar I was exited
How about Darth Kaan
lord kaan you mean
Supreme leader snoke
this is the guy that put luke Skywalker traped as a spirit in his own body I think and now han an liea had kids now at least nien numb an lando callrisseon helped them
Wait so he was In the Game: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy?
Right!?
+AlexGaming I think that was Marka Ragnos.
+Luke H. Trahan No I meant like he was in the temple, Forever in it. Because in the Storyline of SW JK:JA
They Said there is a Strange Force in the temple that the Reborn Sith Want and I said Exar Kun is that target.
damn, never thought of that
Nicholas Jensen Sorry....I just kind of think ahead of Everyone Else on The levels of Anime and Star Wars and Etc
Not Legends anymore
Master Vodo...-_-
How could be a sith if he wasn't a follower of Bane's order?
+LaStriata The Sith were around long before Darth Bane. Bane just shaped the face of the "modern" day Sith with the Rule of Two.
Star Wars Minute so where does Exar fit in this? Was he before or after Bane? Why wasn't he given the Darth title?
+LaStriata Kun was a couple thousand years before Bane, the reason why he had no Darth title was because the last time that moniker was used was during the time of the original Sith Empire, ruled by Naga Sadow, during that time the only known Sith to have the Darth title was Darth Andeddu.

+Star Wars Minute Hi can you do a star wars legends on Pazaak?
Me and the boys
Tale of the Jedi great than KOTOR
Pretty awesome dude, if it wasn't for his limitless arrogance.
Snoke but good
Man, I hated the Jedi Academy trilogy... I'm glad you didn't go into detail about how Exar Kun was finally defeated, because it's one of the most ridiculous climaxes in the EU.
Well that’s too bad you feel that way.
It was a great series. Showing us Luke can go through difficult times and yet still rise above. His order can be attacked and yet he never retreated like the Luke we are seeing created by Disney Lucas Film
So Exar Kun is commander Snorke
+Iron Will I hope so, I rather have him than Darth Plagueis as Snoke
Lol Supreme Leader Snorke!!!!
if only...
Stupidest thing about Star Wars is how easy it is to turn into an evil edgelord
OMG OMG IS SNOKE EXAR KUN!?!?!
Oh no another this guy is snoke please just leave
+Extterm55 naa looks nothing like him
