Bit Vergere is a hot Button for Jacen. It makes sense for lumniya to twist the truth with half truths as all sith Do to get Jacen closer to the dark side.

So now she's seen both light and dark side operations. Palps of course wants her dead because loose end. However she then lives with the vong for Decades. Beings outside the force. I think that would change her perspective as it seems to have in Traitor. She dies in NJO. Maybe she got into contact with lumnyia for what purpose idk we only have Lumnyia to verify. So we only have her word and her word alone. However vergere seemed to not believe in light side or dark aide anymore. Sith don't think like that. So I'm completely willing to accept the fact that lumnyia is simply telling half truths and we will never know the full story.

    @seekerofnothingness the book portrayed otherwise, seems to me she kicked his ass. She collapsed a tunnel on top of him, shot him, cut him up pretty bad and depleted most of his energy. Maybe by your standards, he didn't "cheat" but when you're making a half hour video about a character who wasn't even present for the duel (remember this video is about Lumiya) and are just explaining the duel to provide context, "he cheated" is a sufficient simplification. I didnt need to go full in depth on the duel for this video, the mention of it is to provide context. I go more in depth on the Kavan duel in my Mara Jade video and eventually, when I make a Jacen Solo video.

    I have played some part of it and watched it on YT, so here's my anwser: It woyldn't fit well. As far as I know there are many refferences to rebels, the disney's trilogy (it's not a sequel for me) as well as to the stuff new Marvel comics do, but the biggest contradiction are Inquisitors. The Inquisitors in the new canon are nothing like what they are in Legends, in the old canon they don't wear any official armour and have different lightsabers whatever each of them wants to use (those spinning things are kinda cool but don't exist in legends). Their structure and hierarchy is different as well as far as I'm concerned. Actually I don't think that disney's version of inquisitors is worse, but overall I follow legends canon, so no Rebels or Fallen order.

Also, "it wouldn't have served any good to lock her up" is a bit contradictory to your earlier point about Luke not wanting to take a life. At which point, the only deliberate option is to willingly let her go, which would also be antithetical to Luke's cause.
