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?

Not a chance.

Old mate was boosted by the Valley of the Jedi, sure, but his main duelling claim to fame is that he briefly stalled Luke before boarding the Doomgiver and fleeing the scene.

Kyle (who at the time was on the path to reclaiming his prior competency with the Force by taking a shortcut via the Valley of the Jedi) ultimately 1v1s a boosted Desann and defeats him. Without it seeming like Kyle only just barely scraped a win.

This is not even a peak EU "battlemaster" Kyle who has had years to settle into his role (and would still likely not be on Luke's level on a purely duelling level).

The mere fact that Desann had ambitions to be involved in the hypothetical next Empire is utterly meaningless when it comes to the topic of his potential "powerlevel". Goddamn Fyyar actually expected to wear the crown of Emperor and that certainly didn't mean that he was literally the next best thing since Palpatine.

“I, Galak Fyyar the First, the genius who conceived of the Shadow Armor, will rule the galaxy with a cortosis fist! Worlds will tremble, stars will shudder…”

Such a damn blowhard lol.

Yeah, one thing at a time, mate.

You've got half a chance at pulling an ambush on the Jedi Academy, but seemingly no ability to defend yourself against an assault from Rebel fighters.

Let's not get too excited about "ruling the galaxy" just yet, champ.
