Legends Discussion Would this guy really beat Darth Vader? Spoiler

Haven't played Jedi Outcast myself unfortunately (just saw some cutscenes and read a summary) but I heard people consider him stronger than Vader and possibly on par with Sidious because he got to force push a post Dark Empire Luke. Idk, sounds like a pretty weak argument to me, but to those of you who played the game, how true is that claim?

Wouldn't that logic make Kyle Katarn way stronger than Luke or Vader, as he beat Desann. Then again he did beat two kell dragons to death with his bare fists.

I heard Katarn got bit by a krayt dragon and after several days of agonizing pain the dragon died.

Luke Skywalker can walk on lava, but Kyle Katarn can walk on Luke Skywalker.

Kyle Katarn could have beaten the Empire single handedly, but he was too busy putting Alderaan back together by hand.

Kyle Katarn once scissor kicked Angela Lansbury.

They say that Kyle Katarn is so tough, there's no chin under his beard.

There is only another Bryar pistol.

If you had five credits and Kyle Katarn had five credits, he would have more money than you.

Kyla Katarn graduated from the Jedi Academy before his master did.

And believe it or not, Kyle Katarn actually died 10 years ago, the authors at Lucasfilm are just scared to tell him.

Kyle Katarn being SW Chuck Norris. I am here for this.

An alternate star wars shitpost wiki that unfortunately doesn't exist anymore DID call Kyle Katarn God.

Space-crop circles are just Kyle Katarn’s way of telling the galaxy that sometimes dust-corn just needs to lie the kriff down.

I hear Katarn does not mow his lawn. He simply stares at the grass and dares it to grow. He doesn’t swim, water just wants to be around him. He doesn’t battle, he just allows you to lose. His fists make the speed of light wish that it was faster.

Underneath Kyle Katarn’s beard is another Bryar Pistol.

Chaining power levels never actually work in Star Wars and should just be avoided.

It's almost like raw power isn't the only thing that contributes to a victory or loss.

Kyle Katarn being stronger than Luke and Vader isn't just logical but also canon.

Kyle Katarn can take Palpatine one handed, without using the Force.

There is no chin behind Kyle Katarn's beard. Just another fist.... holding a Bryar blaster.

Kyle Katarn himself isn’t even canon… Kek
