Respect Vandar Tokare:

"The eye sees, but cannot see itself. Anyone can be the eye, but the key to Jedi training is to be able to see oneself."

Vandar Tokare was legendary, even three centuries after his death:

Bastila Shan similarly claims that Vandar is among the most powerful Masters of the Jedi Order:

"Even the Sith would think twice before attacking Dantooine. There are many Jedi here, including several of the most powerful Masters of the Order. There is great strength within this place."

Vandar serves as the leader of these powerful Masters:

This is impressive because every Master is already capable of unlocking powerful secrets that few Jedi can even dream of comprehending:

Vandar's command of the Force is greater than that of Bastila Shan's even after the latter joined the dark side and increased in strength:

“The Dark Side has made me stronger than I ever was before! I have a greater command of the Force than all but the most powerful Jedi masters."

"The archives here are restricted to those who have attained the rank of Master. We must protect overeager Padawans from being exposed to dangerous knowledge. The pursuit of knowledge is a noble goal, but there are some things that require the wisdom of a Master to truly understand."

Vander excels at reading omens and his foresight powers repeatedly prove correct. He successfully foresees that the Exile will stay true to the light side, and he foresees the Jedi Civil War:

Though the future is always in motion, Tokare excels at reading portents. His wisdom is frequently questioned by contemporaries such as Master Vrook Lamar, but as history engulfs the future, the diminutive Jedi's insights repeatedly prove correct. When the Jedi Exile comes to Revan's side against the Mandalorians (and against the Jedi Order's wishes), Tokare insists she will ultimately stay true to the light. In a premonition, he also foresees the destruction set to befall the galaxy in the Jedi Civil War.

Vandar is able to sense imperfections in Revan's fabricated stories:

"It is obvious Master Vandar senses something is not right with your story. Yet he chooses to believe you, and I will not question the wisdom of a Jedi Master."

Vandar foresaw Malak's attack on Dantooine shortly before it happened. Although it was too late to stop the attack, the premonition came early enough to arrange evacuation:

"The Jedi Council sensed it, Master Vrook, Master Vandar... but it was too late to do much except make arrangements for evacuation. It was a dark day for the Order. Many on Dantooine did not survive... Jedi or not."
