General Discussion

The folks at Star Wars Galaxies have posted information about Exar Kun, a Sith Lord who will be the focus of an heroic encounter in Chapter 9.

Exar Kun began his Jedi training under Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas. Clashes with his fellow students on Dantooine ended in a violent confrontation, showing hints of the dark side influencing Exar Kun's emotions even at this early stage in his training. Kun also studied the history of the Sith, Force-wielders devoted to the dark side.

Kun's impatience to learn more about the Force took him away from his studies on Dantooine. As he traveled the galaxy, he encountered the spirit of the Dark Jedi Freedon Nadd.

The spirit of Nadd exerted his influence and Exar Kun turned to the Sith and the dark side of the Force.

Way to continually rape the Canon. One Sith master one Sith apprentice dumbasses.   Why the hell is Yoda hiding on degoba when Darthazzwhippa is hanging out in plane sight  in Mos espa?

Kill it now please 

Not that I actually play the game, but using Exar Kun for a heroic encounter could be kind of cool.  A ghostly Kun haunting the Massassi Ruins on Yavin 4 could at least make for an interesting encounter.

To the previous poster: the whole 1 Lord/1 Apprentice rule doesn't really count for Exar Kun, as he kind of predates that by thousands of years.  Actually, the whole 1 Lord / 1 Apprentice rule didn't even count during the Galactic Civil as the Emperor had numerous Dark Jedi under his wing.  He may not have called them Sith, but that's simply semantics.  Truth be told, Star Wars' canon has been mutated so much it's beginning to get difficult to figure out what's part of it and what's not!

Useless unasked for content completely in violation of continuity in the most screwed up and mismanaged mmorpg in the history of the genre.

Its way too funny that every time there is a news article posted about SWG, every goon that is still ticked off about NGE has to piss on the game. Truth is, this is still a very good game with tons to do.  It is better than 95% of the crap games posted on this site.   Deal with it. Truth hurts!

I don't play this game anymore either but i agree let it go losers. For one thing George wrote the story and he can change it any way he likes. Lucas arts has a say in this game and George has a say in lucas arts. I mean look at the upcoming force unleashed game... They created a apprentice for darth vador in between the 3rd and 4th movie. He can do what he wants with the story as he wrote it and you didn't.

Exar Kun is from the Star Wars:  Jedi Academy Trilogy books by Kevin J Anderson. I'm not really that much of a SW geek, I just happen to finish that trilogy not too long ago.

I do wonder how they are going to make the players "shoot" a spirit...

Not only that, but if players fight him now, and wins...

How come Luke didn't know of him when he started his Jedi Academy? How come Exar is still there if he got killed?

Really, it seems to me like someone from SOE put a few "ooh cool! That guy was in kotor! That guy was in this awesome comic I read!" names in a hat and pulled one out.

Since ya know.. There is no thought about the Star Wars story, lore, continuity or anything behind this "WoW" encoun..err heroic encounter.... They might as well put Carth Onasi into the game as a heroic encounter for the Imperials to fight.....
