Does Kyp eventually turn to the dark side?
[edit] almost rivalling Luke Skywalker in Force powers and Lightsaber skills
Where's the proof of this? --Darthsith19 01:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- It's pretty well hammered into you over the Jedi Academy trilogy and the NJO. --maru (talk) contribs 20:56, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

- In Rebel Dream, it's stated that Kyp thinks that he's more powerful than Luke; a lot of people misread that as an unequivocal statement by the author. Canonically, Luke's connection to Anakin means that he (along with Leia) has the most Force potential of anyone in the galaxy. One might say that "almost rivalling" is a deceptive statement because, by virtue of his genes, nobody can rival Luke. However, we know that Kyp is in the absolute top tier of ability among the galaxy's Jedi. In addition to that Old Republic Force-measuring thingamajig from Jedi Search (that was never retconned into midichlorians, was it? God, I hope not), we see, time and time again, that Kyp is one of the most powerful combat Jedi in the New Order. Combat is pretty much the sole criterion we have to judge the New Order Jedi (since we don't see much of their healers, librarians or philosophers- more to the point, they don't really seem to exist). Really more to the point, it's fun but fruitless to try and determine who the most powerful Jedi is. In the absence of hard statistics (no, I don't count RPG stats) and any attempt to rank the most powerful Jedi will of necessity rely on anecdotal evidence (yeah, Kyle killed all those stormtroopers, but the Yuzzhan Vong were way tougher...). As you can probably guess, my Star Wars-obsessed friend from college never goes on AIM, so I haven't had an outlet for this sort of thing for the last few weeks.

- Anyway, this is what I'm going to do to the article: emphasize that Kyp is an arrogant bastard who thinks he's better than Luke; mention the Anakin thing; and point out that Kyp is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. Just how powerful is probably beyond the scope of this article. Stilgar135 03:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coming back to the light
This article forget to mentioned that Kyp finally returned to the light side after the incident with the Sun Crusher. I forgot which book though. Azn Clayjar 03:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Carida error
Kyp wasn't ordered to destroy Carida, he annihilated it in a fit of rage after they told him his brother was dead. --Night Gyr 01:30, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've fixed that. Were there any other factual errors that justify the tag? --maru (talk) contribs 01:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Apprentice error
Yeah i have issues with the part saying that jaina was his apprentice before the end of rebirth despite the fact that she only accepted this offer after the myrkr mission. Jedijames
