\\\"Having him [[spoiler: killing exur kun\\\'s force ghost single handed instead of the PowerofFriendship ending of the original books.]] Stackpole gave the character a skill set that creeps into MarySue territory, while bending the persona\\\'s of established characters to fit Horn into a storyline. Again, in I, Jedi he gives us [[spoiler: Leia instantly trusting a man she\\\'s never met with her twins, who she\\\'s kept on a secret planet that not even she knew the location for, after someone on the planet just put the current strongest force user in lore into a coma.]] It also gives us a Luke with a massive case of IdiotBall just to allow the author to use Horn to rant an author tract against Anderson\\\'s pet.\\\"
A couple of points:
* He didn\\\'t beat Exar Kun; Kun messed him up to the point that Mara Jade had to carry him back to the ship and dump him in a bacta tank \\\'\\\'after\\\'\\\' Kun decided to save him for last. Kun then left to deal with the other students, thus leading to his PowerOfFriendship defeat from the Academy trilogy.
* On the subject of power, Corran has an affinity for illusion (limited use), at the cost of next-to-no telekinesis (stock Jedi Power) plus the ability to absorb energy (a la Luke, Vader, other established Jedi).
* Leia didn\\\'t leave her kids with him; she left them with an entire school of Jedi students, one of which happened to be someone whose reputation she knew.
* There was a lot of AMillionIsAStatistic in the Jedi Academy trilogy, and Kyp is a BaseBreaker who essentially got away with blowing up an inhabited star system, Imperial or not.
* Luke was at a low point when the author tract mentioned above happens. He\\\'s notably more in-character when he turns up later in the book.
