Ah yes, this is the place in the game where its obvious that the Light Side story was written first (being the canon story) and the Dark Side was placed over the top. In the Light Side story, the shockwave of the Cargo Ship causes Kyle to crash the Crow in that canyon. However in Dark Side there's no cut scene but you end up in the same canyon fighting Yun.

Story update from Level 9.

After failing to acquire the map from 8t88 in Barons Hed, Kyle follows the droid to the Sulon Star, docked at the refuelling station ready for the journey to Ruusan (the planet you're currently on and home to the Valley of the Jedi). Kyle boards the cargo ship and gets the map from 8t88's dead head.

Kyle and Jan use the map to fly to Ruusan soon after Jerec arrives, ready to enter the Valley of the Jedi. This is geographic bit that's never really explained in game. But that huge tower with the arm coming out the side is the Valley Tower. The Valley of the Jedi is deep under the tower. Access to the Valley however is at the top of the tower and so Kyle needs to get to the top of the tower.

In level 13 Kyle makes his approach to the tower (you should have seen it in the background at the second force field). In level 14, Kyle makes it to the top of the tower where he fights Maw. However after killing Maw, Kyle is confronted by Jerec and then he will either spare Jan (Light Side) or kill her (Dark Side). In any case Kyle does not join Jerec and so Jerec blasts Kyle into the Sulon Star while disabling its anti-gravity thingymajig, causing it start plummeting to its destruction at the base of the tower.

Kyle escapes the Sulon Star in time. This is a spoiler for the light-side (and explains why you’re in the canyon) but you're not playing it anyway. I already mentioned that Kyle crashes the Crow when the shockwave of the Sulon Star’s explosion hits him. Kyle wakes up soon after near the wreckage of the cargo ship with Sariss, Yun and Boc around him (Jerec’s remaining Dark Jedi). Boc destroys Kyle’s Lightsaber and Sariss goes to strike him down. However Yun saves Kyle, parrying Sariss’ deadly strike and causing her to strike him instead. Yun is of course repaying Kyle for sparing him in Barons Hed. Yun dies but not before telling Sariss that Kyle is a Jedi and deserves a battle, not an execution. Kyle takes Yun’s Lightsaber (this will explain why Kyle has an orange Lightsaber in MotS) and battles Sariss in the canyon, of course killing her.

But in the Dark Side story, Yun watches Kyle strike Jan down and any good in him vanishes as he realises there is no Light Side. So Yun meets Kyle in the canyon, wanting to finish the battle they started in Barons Hed. Although Yun is stronger this time, he is still very easy as you will find out if you haven’t already killed him.

Just mentioning the start of Level 17 (you’ll find this all out in objectives at the very start so no spoiler really). The explosion of the Sulon Star has stripped away the elevator to the top of the Valley Tower and of course Kyle is back at the base of it. So Level 17 sees Kyle making his way back up the Tower on foot in order to return to the top and then start making his way down towards the Valley of the Jedi. You won’t actually return to the very top where you fought Maw, but you will notice when you start making your way back down.

Any questions, do ask.
