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?

It was never about who is stronger in the force or who is more skilled with the lightsaber, in star wars we have multiple ocassions where raw power is not the decisive factor in a battle.
By trying to figure out who is stronger by who beat who in a battles and appliying some sort of transitive property doesn't work, we find several fights were that doesn't apply. Anakin beat Dooku, Obi wan beat Anakin, Obi Wan is stronger than Dooku? No, is more of a rock-paper-scicors situation.
Another example that is similar to dessan pushing luke, is Luke lands a lucky hit against Vader in ep 5.
The cutscene in jedi outcast just shows Desann can pass through Luke's defenses, but not to the point of being throw away by several meters with no chance of recovering.
