George Lucas Reveals Power Levels of Luke Vader Palpatine Obi-Wan

  • In Star Wars, midichilorians were the closest thing we had to power levels. Anakin, as a 9 year old, were over 20,000, more than master Yoda himself. The prequels were the first time we entered a measurable state of the force, now while midichlorians aren’t to be mistaken for one’s full on power levels, they are an abstraction of one’s potential should they train in the force. Now back in the 80’s when esb was being written, George Lucas actually had devised a power ranking system out of 10 for obi-wan, Luke, and the emperor.
    So as we can see, Luke Skywalker, is a level 2, Obi-Wan with all of his training from qui-gon, Yoda and more is only a 6. This means during the prequels, he was probably a 4, considering the last 20 years he didn’t learn all that much more when it came to his training. Unless, of course, George completely abolished this level system in his mind, and just went straight to the midichlorians. The interesting thing about obi-wan is that he had the poorest connection to the force of all jedi, he was an embarrassment. Both in canon and legends. In fact, in Canon, Qui-Gon in the novel master and apprentice, talks about how Obi-Wan is so far behind compared to where he was at the same age. Basically calling Obi-Wan useless. So for Obi-Wan to be as powerful as the Emperor now, really is a testament to how hard he practiced and trained. Of course, these power levels shouldn’t be as theorized and analyzed as I’m doing now, as they are outdated and clearly something George established for the originals and possibly abolished going beyond that to the prequels, but it is interesting to know. Does this mean that Yoda in the prequels was a level 6, and Obi-Wan was a level 4? Meaning Anakin was also a level 4 while being so much younger, putting in the effect of his many thousands of more midichlorians compared to the rest? This would have given anakin more of a potential to reach a higher level faster than others. Like giving Anakin a higher iq, which wouldn’t necessarily mean he’s smarter than his masters, unless he studied, in which case if he did, he would destroy all of them. So we could assume the rate at which anakin developed his abilities were maybe 2 to 3 times as fast as others who were more average or slightly above even.
    With Vader being a 4, this is indicative, I think, of his lowered power state that George always talked about after losing to obi-wan. George said that once he lost to obi-wan he’d never reach his full power, and be only 80% as powerful as the emperor, who was a level 6, about to become a level 10.
    The massive jump to level 10 from 6 meant that he was about to learn some crazy new ability in the short time span from episode 4 to 6. What he could learn, well it’s never discussed I don’t think, but I could rule out the ability to learn lightning, as originally, George wanted Luke to use lightning against Vader, as well as Vader to use lightning against obi-wan in their fight. I think the idea of the emperor getting ready to jump to an immortal power level of 10 and the heroes had to beat the clock so he didn’t get there would have been a bit too comical for me. I like the idea that Sidious always harnessed the power of a 10 and it wasn’t his power that needed to be matched, but the power of love that Vader showed for his son which beat Sidious once and for all. To show that you can change your ways no matter how evil you have become and the horrible things you’ve done, that it’s never too late to change, and in the end, the power of love triumphs over all evil, no matter the power, which in this case it did. Vader saved Luke in a sacrificial last effort and fulfilled the Jedi prophecy of bringing balance to the force.

    I like that Obi-Wan isn't the strongest in the Force but has his hard work, experience, and his wit to make him the better warrior than Anakin on Mustafar. I think they both knew Anakin was stronger in the Force, but Anakin had a tendency to be overconfident and Obi-Wan knew that. Obi-Wan had experience, clarity of thought, and knew Anakin better than Anakin knew himself. The fact Obi-Wan wins against someone much more powerful than himself, that he theoretically should have lost against, makes me like Obi-Wan that much more.

    Also, according to George, Luke was supposed to be the strongest Force user, attaining the power Anakin could have had, and thus more powerful at his peak, than Sidious at his peak. Which is why I scoff at those who say Luke is OP in Legends, when that's just what he was supposed to be. Not the lame wuss who got beaten by Rey, who had ZERO training, and who later died from a Force holo.

    This isn't verbatim, but I remember that Anakin was referred to as having gone up a level during the course of the film, from 8 to 9, which Nick described as basically being the dark side and that he had surpassed Obi-Wan in raw power.
    How this works for everyone else like, Mace Windu, Palpatine, Yoda etc. is a bit unclear, but we can assume that Palpatine is a 9 and Mace and Yoda are both 8s.

      No. Vader asked Luke for his help to overthrow the Emperor, implying Vader was not as strong as the emperor.
      The fact he serves under Tarkin in ep. 4 also shows he is not as powerful. He is given his fleet in TESB but that is his task set by the Emperor. To find the rebels and then trap Luke. Clearly the Emperor already sees Luke as Vader's replacement, and Vader probably knows this as well.

    - Yoda was also 6 in the Prequels (based on his duel vs Palpatine), and possibly achieved 10 later (based on his powers seen in The Last Jedi).
    - Anakin/Vader was 4 but was potentially 12 (based on George Lucas stating he was potentially twice as strong as Palpatine)
    - Luke was 2 when he faced Vader on Cloud City but arguably achieved 6 in Return of the Jedi (based on 1. the fact that he is able to hide his presence from Palpatine's perception 2. the fact that Palpatine said in Empire strikes back that young Skywalker could destroy the Sith 3. his badass hallway scene); he possibly achieved 10 later (based on never seen before Force projection through the galaxy in TLJ). But he was potentially 11 or 12 (based on George Lucas stating that with Luke, Palpatine would have had a more primo version of Anakin).

    I have been a fan of Star Wars for a very long time and have heard many many MANY people talk about their theories of this and that, and how powerful this one is, and how fast that ship is, and theories of how powerful different force abilities are, and this and that and everything else. Most fans have a very superficial understanding of things and don't put too much logic or any kind of extrapolation into their thinking... which is fine, what ever. It's a story and different people get different things out of it, which is the way it's suppose to be.
    However, you display a very good, well rounded understanding of Star Wars in that your use of logic where applicable is well.... logical, and because of this you are able to make some very interesting statements and conclusions of a few relatively complex ideas and theories that have a very interesting (dare I say it?) "point of view".
    Unfortunately it seams not that many Star Wars fans (or professed fans I should say) understand how much Heart Lucas put into his characters and stories. The Heart and love, and broken hearts and absence of love are the driving forces of the entire story. Not that many people understand that. You however have a good grasp of it.
    The person second only to George Lucas who understands Star Wars is Dave Filoni. On Disney Plus right now there is a series called >Disney Gallery STAR WARS: The Mandalorian

    Hey, do you know when the idea of Vader and palps being called sith came in?

    My respect, and love for the character of Obi-Wan increased tremendously. Works his ass off, despite being bad at everything, and becomes a Jedi Master? Equivalent in power, at one point, to Yoda himself? Yeah, I love that. The low class being stronger then the elite.

    Nah, lets be clear and honest here. Palpatine and yoda both where top of the notch for sith and jedi standards overall.
    If we take full potential... well anakin hit that on mortis, and we know he is an 20/10, 10 being palpatine and yoda, AT least twice as powerfull (stated by sidious himself "vader will become twice as powerfull as any of us" when he battles yoda)
    Now, without mortis conection to the force, Anakin has no way to unlock his full potential without the right amount of training (who knows, may be he has no limits, if he trains all his life he might have been able to achieve REAL inmortality and UN LIMITED PAWAAAAAAAAAAR)
    Still, anakin managed to defeat easily Dooku, who fodderized obi wan, not once but twice, in seconds. Anakin on aotc lasted longer than Obi wan, when he was just a padawan. Anakin as a jedi knight left dooku with no chance in elegance. Dooku himself, being 2nd or 3rd (depends on each one criteria for the matter) best lightsaber duelist in the galaxy, being able to spar with yoda and windu to stalemates, daily. So anakin stomping him, leaves him AT LEAST 3rd best jedi lightsaber duelist. Now, if we count sidious, master of all forms and the strongest sith that has EVER BEEN, Anakin is 4th, being equal to windu, and a little weaker than yoda and sidious.
    Anakin is comfortably saying, a 8/10 in revenge of the sith. Obi wan is likely a 6.5 but this 6.5 has a trump card, knowing everything about anakin, and Soresu, designed to outlast any other form as long as the user has a better shape and mental state than the enemy. Which, he had vs anakin. Buffing him to anakins 8, and anakin being mental fucked up, well... he tryed, and we all know what happened.

      No Anakin is a 10 so as Sidious 10 is the highest.

      @@xdevilxx-_-demons3263 And yes, i asume u refer to ros anakin, because if u say mortis anakin is equal to sidious, is straight up wrong. Sidious, is a 10 on a scaling on dueling abilities at that time. But to say that sidious is MORE powerful than the son and the daughter together, is just wrong. The son is the embodiment of the dark side, i think that the embodiment of the dark side is stronger than its strongest user.
      And anakin tamed both, child and daughter. Its natural to say that this potential unlocked anakin (even if it lasted 30 seconds or so) is the strongest character we know of in the whole verse, sayd the father, who was equal to him.

    so what you're telling me is Revan was a level 12 at his peak and Vader was 80% as powerful as Sidious while only having a torso... NOICE!

    I think George scrapped this whole idea, and in the new Disney canon I'm pretty sure Vader was more powerful after his defeat on Mustafar. In the comics, Vader is extremely powerful and maybe more powerful than the emperor.
    It probably is more like:
    Anakin at full potential (mastering light and dark side): 10
    The Father: 9
    The Son & Daughter: 8.5
    Emperor: 8.25
    Luke (in Last Jedi and Mandalorian): 8
    Vader: 7.5 (8 with force powers and 7 with suit vulnerabilities)
    Yoda: 7
    Mace Windu: 7
    Kylo Ren: 7
    Anakin (before defeat/still not trained that much): 6.5
    Count Dooku: 6.25
    Obi Wan: 6
    Luke (in original trilogy): 6
    Rey: 6
    Ashoka (years later): 6
    General Grievous: 5.5
    Average Jedi: 3
