[edit] Appearances/Sources

An article this size demands appearances/sources. Likewise with Ulic Qel-Droma. --Fade 23:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Slaughter the Senate"

I thought Exar held them all there, hypnotized the Chancellor, gave a speech, gave the Chancellor a knock on his head (maybe killing him, maybe not) and then walked out with Ulic. I don't remember a "slaughter." Thanos6 07:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

  • That's right. He probably killed lots of guards on his way in and out but what we see inside the Senate Hall he just killed Master Vodo and the Chancellor looked pretty dead after Exar was done with him. But there wasn't and "slaughter of the senate". --Kyp-Durron 03:22, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Kyp-Durron

[edit] WTH?

I'm editing the part about Kun being a Jar Kai and Makashi master. He wasn't. He used a unique style.

  • He was indeed a Jar'Kai master, though. Darth Kevinmhk 03:33, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
  • You are very right that Exar had a unique style all his own. Just look at his lightsaber, a weapon completely different from any other. First off it is the first known double bladed lightsaber which suggests that Exar was the developer of multi-blade lightsaber combat. Second, according to the Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology the blades on Exar's saber were adjustable. They could be shortened to half a meter or extended to a meter and half. Not as long as a dual phase lightsaber but longer than the standard blade. Plus the blades intensity could be adjusted also. They could be made so that another blade could pass right through then and do no damage to anything they came in contact with or they could be just as deadly as a typical lightsaber blade. This would made it easy to cause an opponent to lose his/her balance and then strike a killing blow as he/she fell. This is a style I have never heard of any other Jedi using and I have never heard of any other Jedi constructing such a sophistocated weapon. So what style combat does Exar Kun use? None I'd say. He has his own which no one else has been able to copy.--Kyp-Durron 03:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Kyp-Durron
  • Regardless, canonical source state that he is a Jar'Kai user, period. Exar used Makashi was fanon, that's all. Darth Kevinmhk 03:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Didn't the original on lightsaber forms article on the official site list Exar (along with Count Dooku) as a form II user? -JC
    • No. The original Fightsaber article only list Dooku as Form II user. Darth Kevinmhk 08:35, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Exar Kun strikes me as a Djem So user. DarthMalus
  • hey umm im not that far yet im still tryin to figure out if building one is ACTUALLY POSSIBLE still i might be the first earthling to weild a lightsaber mwaahahahaha(sorry just kidding)71.197.13.15 02:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)ewokmenace

[edit] stupid?

"Exar Kun was a rash and talented youth plus stupid:...." - this doesn't say "featured article quality" to me...--Xilentshadow900 16:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Ah, a stealth vandalism by an IP address...I shall fix it. StarNeptune 16:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exar is NOT a Makashi user (Proof attached)

  1. Proof: http://www.dmeb2.org/darthmaulsection/swinsider62.html
  2. The site who spread Exar is a Makashi user: http://swg.stratics.com/content/gameplay/professions/jedi/lightsaber_combat.php

[edit] Tomb

I've added a picture and a description of Exar Kun's Tomb on Yavin IV. One of the many SWG locales I visited before my computer started acting up : (

[edit] Symbol on the head

  • The symbols of Exar's and Ulic's head are unique, right? They are not the same logo of the ancient Sith Empire & Jedi Civil War Sith Empire, so is there any relation / meaning / reference about Exar's & Ulic's symbols? Darth Kevinmhk 05:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Several of the quotes need to be sourced. Vryce 03:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Force Destruction?

In Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith, when Kun is crushed by the dark side monster in the large Massassi temple, embraces his anger and takes Nadds amulet, he starts shooting powerful red blasts of Force energy around. Could this be an occurrence of Force Destruction? Its the only possibility that comes to mind. DarthMRN 18:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

  • No, it's the amulet focusing his rage and anger into beams of dark side energy. If you've ever read the Darkside Sourcebook, it states that the amulets can perform such a feat (along with destroy Force spirits a la Freedon Nadd). So, it's definitely not Force Destruction; although, it carries some similar characteristics.

[edit] Golden Globe

Why does this article make no mention of the golden globe that kun created or his experiments with extracting the spirit energy of massassi children? This was the last significant trace of kun's legacy to be destroyed by the jedi, I thought it was kind of important.

[edit] Jedi Academy

When did he appear in Jedi Search? I thought his first appearance was in Dark Apprentice?--Hobbie 18:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Referencing

Good Day,

I have completed what I believe to be a thoroughly complete and correct reference list for Exar Kun. If I have missed or referenced anything incorrectly, please tell me and I will fix it. If you find an error or an absence of info, please by all means correct or add it. Anything else, you know how to find me!

Thanks.

[edit] Double Blade

His legacy bit should be changed...Jedi vs. Sith: the Essential guide to the force confirms Kun did NOT invent the DBL69.65.73.108 22:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Lighty

[edit] Exar Kun's Blade

What's the source saying that Exar Kun's Doubleblade is Duel-phased because i dont see a source on that preticular part Valin "Tnu" "Shido" Suul 02:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forced ?

It said in his profile he was forced, and on another page it quotes he activly worked towards learning the ways of the sith
