well i was getting it confused with the dagger i was like that's the dagger not the wayfinder so uh so that's why i was like oh wait let's let's think about comics because ochi reminded me of comics more so than it did like novels and everything so i was like okay well if we're looking at comics the only thing that i can remember from comics was the eye of webesh bog
KatieHOST
28:48
that's what i knew the jedi temple vault he didn't get it from because I would have remembered that from the discussions because that's primarily in the Charles Soule run I knew it wasn't Ochi because he really didn't steal anything from Ochi in I think it's the SAC run And then the ghost of Exar Kun.
KatieHOST
29:13
Exar Kun is not, he's been like a cameo in one of the artifacts.
KatieHOST
29:21
So Exar Kun is mainly a Legends reference.
KatieHOST
29:24
So that would not have been like a canon reference.
KatieHOST
29:28
So I X'd that one out.
KatieHOST

Hex Howell says, Hey, Underworld, from the new Ahsoka Season 2 trailer, we see this guy with a very long double-bladed lightsaber.
Dominic JonesHOST
128:06
I don't know the Legends characters that well, but does anyone of you also see some similarities between him and Exar Kun? um so let's let's say something here i think this is a triple bladed lightsaber i'm just gonna say that i'm not like double bladed yes uh but uh i think it's triple bladed i see three i see three beams of light in there
Ben HartHOST
128:28
well and he does the thing where he ignites it kind of like darth maul and then pulls a third blade out from the middle And some people have speculated that it could be a situation where he pulls it out and it disconnects maybe.
Ben HartHOST
128:41
So maybe it's like a two blades in one blade.
Ben HartHOST
129:02
No matter how practical it might be.
Dominic JonesHOST
129:06
Yeah.
Dominic JonesHOST
129:08
So as for the connection between him looking a bit like Exar Kun, I think that is true.
Dominic JonesHOST
129:17
They do look a little similar.

RyanHOST

part two well said because you know what at the end of the day like you have thrawn becoming thrawn he's attacking what is left of the rebel alliance saying the empire's back he's gonna fucking come in new republic fuck you it's being done right and then you've got the flashbacks happening with ahsoka and with uh anakin and you we saw some of the outfits for what they're using for this now the the new jedi that they're everyone's questioning with his eyes and he's got his lightsaber it's a unique lightsaber because the double-bladed lightsaber it's got a middle lightsaber part two so everyone's all up in arms about this his eyes, his eyes are where they're fucking with me.
RyanHOST
72:11
So there's Exar Kun.
RyanHOST
72:12
There's a whole bunch of different Jedi from the past that this could be in a situation where they're training.
RyanHOST
72:20
So I don't know what to expect.
JordanHOST
44:31
Yeah, we got good stuff, huh? Anyways, Nomi was so powerful in the Force, she had to sever Yulik's connection to the Force after he killed his own brother, K.
JordanHOST
44:42
Nomi fought against Exar Kun.
JordanHOST
44:44
Hey, we know that name, right? And then following the Great Sith War, she rose to the position of Grandmaster.
JordanHOST
44:53
She helped rebuild the Jedi and the Republic.
Jason SwankHOST
47:34
Um, this is not Snoke, folks.
Jimmy MacHOST
47:38
The first character in the Expanded Universe days to use a double-bladed lightsaber, this is before Darth Maul and all that, it was, uh, Exar Kun, who was a character from Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy.
Jason SwankHOST
47:56
Oh.
Jimmy MacHOST
47:57
And he used a, a, a double-bladed lightsaber.
Jason SwankHOST
48:17
Mm
Jimmy MacHOST
48:17
...
Jimmy MacHOST
48:17
it was, it was hard to determine, like canon-wise, what color blade Exar Kun used.
Jimmy MacHOST
48:23
But it's just, I get those vibes off of this guy-
John MillsHOST
2:09
Hard on the heels of his success with the Jedi Academy trilogy, where that was a best-selling series, introduced us to Kip Durin.
John MillsHOST
2:19
And also, you know, the establishment of Luke's temple on Yavin 4, all of these things actually referenced to Exar Kun, who was from the comics, further tying those universes together.
John MillsHOST
2:32
All of these great things that are going on.
John MillsHOST
2:35
And so he comes back following the success of Children of the Jedi by Barbara Hambly, which introduced us to Callista, who was Luke's great love.
AnHOST
101:29
Yeah.
AugurHOST
101:29
Um, I can largely sum them up by saying, like, we've got two former Jedi, Ulic Qel-Droma, um, and Exar Kun, who are, have decided in previous issues of this comic series-
AnHOST
101:42
Mm-hmm
AugurHOST
101:42
... um, not in this arc, but in previous issues, to become, uh, evil and Sith.
AugurHOST
102:22
They do.
AugurHOST
102:23
Well, so what happens fir- so they're doing that.
AugurHOST
102:26
Exar Kun, uh, takes a, a Sith holocron, cracks it open like an egg, and a bunch of ghosts go and, uh, it inhabit a bunch of Jedi, and he's like, "Great, go kill your masters."
AnHOST
102:38
Right.
Luke BlighHOST
35:46
Did you see that? I, I didn't know.
Matt HudsonHOST
35:48
I haven't seen the comic, but I've seen the throwback and, of course, I've seen a lot of people referencing that the guy looks a lot like Exar Kun as well from Legends.
Matt HudsonHOST
35:56
I mean, it...
Matt HudsonHOST
35:56
I think it's very much just a nice little cool nod.
