Palpatine groomed Anakin, who was unstable and easy prey. Luke lacked his father's weaknesses and inner demons and had no emotional or mental ties to Palpatine.
Luke was privileged in regards to not having the dogmatic religion imposed on him by the jedi council. Anakins insecurities where affirmed at a young age by the jedi council, he then had a teacher who was not aligned to manage his overwhelming need for reassurance to satisfy his need to prove everyone wrong, that he is worthy. Luke and Anakin are similar and as it's hard to say if he would have turned out the same as anakin giving the same circumstances, the fact remains Luke as great as he is had a much more privileged jedi training process and learning from a balanced methods in the means of grand master yoda & a wiser Obi wan who had learned from the mistakes he made with anakin giving Luke an unfair advantage if your to compare the 2.
The big thing was because Palpatine groomed Anakin, he was kind of alone and didn't really have any true friends outside of the Jedi aside from Palpatine, and Palpatine took full advantage of it. Luke, on the other hand, wasn't alone. He had family and friends from all walks of life who had his back, who supported him if he struggled, friends who could pull him back if he turned to the darkside.
Luke had a loving father figure so Palpatine couldn’t manipulate him by means of being a friend and father figure like he did with Anakin and Luke always knew that Palpatine was evil, they never had a bond that Palpatine and Anakin had. Luke had all of Anakin’s strengths but lacked Anakin’s biggest vulnerabilities.
Anakin was basically heartbroken and discouraged by his best friends, his wife, and the Jedi. Luke, on the other hand, Luke was respected by his friends and Jedi. He never had a issue with anyone and never felt manipulated or betrayed.
@@TheMail518in a more philosophical sense; Luke represents the Re-birth of anakin, Vader represents all of anakin's weak points. Padme died in childbirth and when she died, Vader was truly born, when Luke and Leia were born. Luke carries with him, anakin's legacy. Anakin was the chosen one, but did not realize the prophecy by himself, he was only able to with the help of his son. Because Luke was alive, a small piece of anakin's soul was alive as well, which allowed him to come back; if only for a moment at the end.
Anakin was always a whiny little mama's boy, Luke was raised by his aunt and uncle in a stable environment. Palpatine never had a chance to manipulate Luke, and chances are Luke would have looked up how his mother died after finding out Vader was Anakin. So he would have realized Palpatine manipulated Vader and would have prepared himself to face the Emperor, that's why he seemed so detached when he surrendered to Vader in Return of the Jedi.
@Demiurge13 💯. They did that on purpose to destroy his character. It's very obvious and why I didn't bother finishing that run of movies. But loved how Filoni and Favreau redeemed him in their series....
@@JscottSearsI like what they did in their series yea, but the sequel trilogy still happens so it's all for naught. Besides, Filoni proved what a hack and yesman he is to kathleen kennedy with the other seaons and shows, especially Ahsoka. No Luke anywhere, as if that would really happen
05:12 - 1 reason : Unlike Anakin, Luke had direct tutoring, care and compassion from both Yoda and Obi Wan, who had themselves developed a greater understanding of the dark side following their exile. For Palpetine, Luke was now a very dangerous advisery. He had a much stronger willpower, greater resistance to the dark than Anakin ever did and swaying him was going to be MUCH HARDER
Palpatine, being a scholar of the Force had to know of the prophecy of the One to Bring Balance to The Force. It could easily be argued that while Vader did indeed end the Emperor's reign, Luke was the one who brought balance within Vader. Tempering his anger and power with compassion and protectiveness of his son.
Luke is a top tiered Jedi and had two excellent Jedi Masters. Palpatine is a lot of things including being the darkest of the Sith Lords but he is not stupid enough to afford to Not consider Luke a threat
Facts. Like said, he was trained by the only jedi master to counter Sidious greatest darkside atttack, and the one jedi master that beat Vader, beat Maul, and beat Grevious. Luke couldn’t have found better trainers even when the jedi order existed.
Idk about being the darkest sith since darth Bane created a force/mind bomb that trapped over a thousand Jedi and dark side army after luring both to a cave that amplified the power by several fold. After that the force sphere had the screams of echoes of the dead. Source is from the book: darth bane rule of two
@@bruticus1496 it would be naive to think that Sith are not evil or vicious. Darth Bane did a lot to call him quite evil. Zannah did her fair share, and every Sith after her. Keep in mind the point of Sith training is to became that evil
What did Palpatine really know about Luke as a person? He was able to learn and exploit Anakin's fears. Luke was a powerful but completely unknown entity trained by Obi-Wan and Yoda. Palpatine found one weakness in Luke's attachment to his friends. However, he completely missed Luke's feelings for the father he unconditionally loved and yearned to know all his life.
Makes sense. A New Hope showed that growing up Luke idolized his father. He was told all of his life that his Dad was a hero. So in the Throne room all of these emotions go through Luke. Ending with Luke throwing down his saber, refusing to kill his father, his hero. And in the end Luke got to see the hero that his father was that he knew from growing up.
Palpatine had likely experienced visions that would have indicated just how immensely powerful Luke would become and that his power would surpass his own. He may have foreseen a possibility that Luke would not only seek to revive the Jedi Order, but to do so with amendments that would eliminate the previous issues that afflicted it's predecessor, namely the following of Revan's philosophy that having loved ones actually strengthened their connection to the Light Side, contrary to the assertions of other Jedi. Ultimately, Luke would use techniques and ideas that would bring the Jedi back more to the way of the original Je D'aii, who learned both light and dark in balance, thus giving them greater power and dominion within the Force, and Palpatine may well have seen some of this and rightly crapped himself at the concept.
Within the new canon, Palpatine felt no fear. He did infact have a vision of Luke surpassing him, as a Sith. Sith Luke killed Palpatine in the vision. That sith Luke was trained fully to potential by Vader himself. The great disturbance. It's in esb. Palpatine can feed off of anger fear and hatred. He wants the most powerful apprentice so he can amp and if need be, essence transfer.
The greatest blow the sith ever suffered came from the boy who appealed to his fathers greater nature. Never giving up on him despite his fathers crimes. Leia was also equally dangerous. Vader could never break her will. The skywalker blood is powerful.
True, but I would put credits down on that Vader, if he failed to convert Luke, knew he could use Luke's sister's anger to help push her into the dark side. Remember anger is the pathway and she definiltey had a lot of anger, for Vader. Leia might consider being a sith the only way to kill Vader and get her revenge. Thus of course becoming a sith master herself - the very thing she hates. Since every sith knows their apprentice will ultimately either die or overthrow them, it's useful to train dark jedi. Best your own pupil become a sith master by overthrowing you than by some other means... Rule of two.
I’m glad you brought up how Sidious made that suit for Vader. He was still afraid of Vader too, even as Vader became his right hand, he wanted to keep him in check as well.
Palpatine knew that living under the Rule Of Two meant that to live by the sword also afforded a significant chance to die by it as well, so sought to blunt said metaphorical sword. However, you have to shsrpen a sword to make it cut, and Luke was the stone that would achieve that.
This is incorrect. He felt no fear. He did not hold Vader back. He wants the chosen one, why would he hold vader back? He doesn't. He can amp from feeding off others anger fear and hatred
Vader could have overthrown him anytime he wished, he didn’t want too because he felt palpatine was all he had left he only started plotting when he discovered luke. Luke was more than just a apprentice to Vader he was hell bent on ruling the galaxy as a family. Although Luke’s presence slowly Brought Vader back to the light due to love and care for each other.
Palpatine told Vader that Luke could destroy them both after he blew up the first death star.Palpatines fear of Luke has been known since the original trilogy came out.
The hilarious part is that, according to this version of the story, had obi wan and Yoda thought about maybe not letting Luke keep the Skywalker name, neither Vader nor the emperor would know who he is lol.
They would just figure it out later if Luke encounters Vader for a long enough period Anakin will begin to sense something familiar about him and starts asking questions Luke will say you killed my father Anakin Skywalker and Vader is all like I’m your father.
True. If Vader couldn't sense Leia was his while TOUCHING HER there was no way he would have known Luke without the last name. And if they didn't tell Luke ANYTHING about Anakin, which you think they would have for security purposes (Imagine a 12 year old Luke asking people in town about his father. This would have happened) Luke wouldn't have hesitated to cut Vader down. Emperor or not.
Yoda and Obiwan wanted Luke to kill Darth Vader. Luke made the decision, on his own, against the wishes of two Jedi masters, to try to bring his father back from the dark side. And he did.
He disabled Vader, while freeing his mind & saving his heart! In weakened status Palatine was able to kill him as Anakin was trying to save Luke by killing emperor, by sacrificing himself & putting end of Vader!
Thank you for focusing on what we all truly love.... the story. Not on the current 'celebrity gossip' surrounding what SW "currently is" and what certain franchises are chosing to do with it. Forget them. This video is for the true fans. Let's all just focus on what we love and always have loved about Star Wars.... the story.
At the end of Empire I always picture Palpatine showing up when Vader reaches toward Luke and says join me and together we can overthrow the Emperor. 😂 Would be perfect for Robot Chicken.
@@brianstrutter1501nah, he had a true Jedis wisdom and that is WHY he tossed his Saber, signaling the he wouldn't be turned and would rather let himself die than kill his father, a huge act of compassion for his father that no doubt moved the needle for Vader to return to Anakin. Anakin was selfish, but to see his son perform a selfless act for him put a metaphoric crack in his armor. Vader was resigned to his fate but conveyed it in a remorseful way, Luke needed to show him the path to redemption. It was a gambit that Luke knew he would win, because he saw the flicker of light that was the soul of Anakin where Palpatine only saw the tortured soul of Vader. I'm sure Luke hadn't planned for it to escalate to that point going in, but trying to sway Vader with words was getting him nowhere. Once Luke threw his Saber down he knowingly put himself in a situation where the good in his father would HAVE to come through if there was any left.
@@c.j.echave Also it was character journey. First movie he mainly used the blaster. By the third movie he was full lightsaber and didn't carry a blaster. By the end of the third he didn't even need that to win, because the lightsaber never made anyone a Jedi or Sith.
Luke was in control of his emotions whereas Anakin was a nervous wreck. Fear the man that has control of his emotions.... Luke saw through Darth Sideous games, while Anakin was clouded by guilt and fear that's what Sideous used to manipulate Anakin. Plus Luke Skywalker like Yoda mastered the art of sith and Jedi, the dark secrets and had a balance, and self-control to overcome temptation and remain a Jedi
Don't worry...some of us are working on an EU-based series that gives the big fat bird to Disney for that sh!t! Our Luke is every bit the BAMF he was supposed to become! Kyle and Mara say hi, too!
The novelization goes into nice detail. There is a passage where Vader observes Palpatine shaking in fear as he is taunting Luke. Palps knows the swing is coming and he is not sure Vader will be fast enough to block it.
The irony of all of this and why I liked luke so much as a character (and absolutely loathed what they did to him in the movies) is that his greatest strength was always his hope. Luke is literally the most hopeful character in the starwars universe. To the point it inspired everyone around him, even his father. Even when everyone around him was telling him otherwise he never gave up on vader. And in the legend books they lean on that even more, with allowing anyone to be trained even if there was a risk of them turning to the darkside and causing harm later. There was always that hope that him and people around him could over come it. The movie idea of him giving up on a student and even entertaining the possibility of killing him was absolutely ludicrous. And probably the biggest sign that no one who wrote these movies so much as even picked up a starwars EU comic, let along a novel.
Disney ruined Luke and now people don't comprehend how insanely powerful he ended up being. He's pretty much calm and serine like Obi-Wan but with the raw power of Anakin.
This is a great video. The amount of information and the way things just fall into line, to make that fear palpable in the Emperor. Luke of the Skywalker lineage, Yoda, OBK, involved in his training, Vader discovering the betrayl of Sidious.....outstanding.
There can be argument made that Vader, when Luke activated lightsaber to strike Palpatine, did not protect Palpatine but Luke, to not fall to the dark side as he did all those years ago ..
@@DeclanMcCreadie that is the reason why I said "There can be argument made" I based it on body language of Vader, when Luke surrendered himself on Endor and after their discussion. It is speculation but I think it is valid one
What Disney star wars fans don't get is that luke Skywalker supposed to have the same amount of raw force potential as his father, George Lucas say it luke Skywalker was never supposed To be the Jake soywalker of sequels
In the sequels he technically has surpassed Anakin in living force abilities, power, and knowledge. It’s just that we never saw THAT POWER by Disney. We only got a “glimmer” of it within the mandalorian
Sincerely, Luke being a bitter old man full of regrets, after seeing his life's work destroyed by his own nephew and seeing that despite all sacrifices he and his comrades made to free the galaxy of the Empire, there would still be people inclined to support that dark path, to me is be far more understandable than he still being naive at old age. Much like Yoda and Obi-Wan Luke had to overcome his sorrows and come around his own failures and accept that he was wrong, that he isn't the one meant to keep things moving anymore, that his role was to open the door to the new generation. That is about the only thing Disney got right in my opinion. The feat of power Luke showed at the end is astounding, not because he could project a massive force illusion halfway across the galaxy, but the ilussion was powerful enough that even C3PO, a Droid registered Luke's presence in his sensors, as did all the First Order's walkers and ship's sensors. We never seen a Jedi being able to fool a droid's sensors with the Force before. And with that he shot his legend to unbelievable levels, inspiring a new generation of heroes to keep the flame of peace and justice burning. But pretty much all the rest of Disney work on the sequels is pure and utter garbage.
Luke was perhaps the fear of the Jedi that Palpatine has always deep within him as this was the last chance the Jedi had returning and destroy the Sith.
This was very crucial moment. It was very difficult for Sidious. He had to think extremely fast. Obi-Wan and Yoda trained Luke. Taught him. I didn't knew how much Sidious was afraid of Luke. May the Force be with you too,always😁
I'll never forgive Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson for what they did to Luke and Mark Hamill. They took the man who threw his lightsaber away in the face of Palpatine and made him a depressed nephew killer cuz he "had a bad dream".
If you want to solve a problem, you don't do it looking forwards but looking back.. I don't believe they were entirely at fault and Disney had their own version of Vader and Sidious pulling the strings
I feel worse for Mark Hammil out of anyone involved in the movies. Mark always embraced the Fandom and had a good spirit about it compared to Harrison. I'm sure Mark was very excited to reprise his career defining role only to have it ruined to "subvert our expectations". We expected a good movie. Expectations subverted 👏
It’s a disgrace what Johnson did to Luke not to mention the other areas of the franchise he just trampled on, I hate him and I hate watching interviews where you can see his joy at what he’s done he knew fine well what he was doing and enjoyed it whilst he done it, I refuse to watch or support anything he’s been a part of since and I wish him a terrible career of insignificance going forward
Great video. One of your best in a while. Probably has something to do with it focusing on my childhood hero, Luke Skywalker. He deserves to have his story, post ROTJ, properly told.
Palpatine played a part in Anakin's life from teenager to early adulthood, but he had no such connection to Luke. Good old Palps held control over Vader through fear, manipulation and anger, while Luke held a stronger connection to Anakin through love, which was in connection to Padme.
Good vid, and of course the emperor was fearful of Luke for all his goading to be "struck down" and trying to get Luke to kill him, the fact he couldn't spend twenty years poisoning his mind and prodding him made the unknown element of Luke so much more terrifying. Adding on that Ben and Yoda trained him added to that fear, and probably had Palpatine fuming over their survival.
exactly as you expertly said he was far more comfortable with Vader due to decades of conditioning hell even before Revenge Of The Sith he had a very close relationship with Anikan and influenced him a decent bit growing up it was not a sudden turn to the darkside in reality Palpatine had been training him for this for years but Luke Luke was a dude he had literally just met for the first time and could sense his growing power and he knew it would be alot harder to control him then Vader
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 there's also the fact that say. "Ok Palpatine managed to turn Luke to the dark side." What's exactly just stopping him from siding with Vader anyways like idk but 99.9% of people are choosing their dad over a half dead old guy they just met.
@@chadflanaganCFC honestly that really is a good point your right Palpatine probably realized at the end this is not going to end well for him even if he turns Luke he's going to side with Vader and kill me
I don't think he's a viable option, considering he's been dead for 36 years at that point. Heck, even if he didn't get killed by Maul, he'd probably die of old age.
This video lacks context. Although not stated I am confident that the novelization this video comes from the ROTJ, came out BEFORE THE PREQUELS. And the reason this is so important is because once Mr. Lucas fleshed out how much training going into a single Jedi, it fundamentally changes how we should perceive Luke's training. Believe it or not, Luke receives roughly 3 months of training from Jedi Masters and undergoes 12 months self-taught from books without any force ghosts to guide him. Thus, Luke beat Vader and threatened Palpatine not on experience or skill but sheer raw power. Luke had less training than Padwan Obi-wan from Epsiode 1 TPM and less training than Anakin in Episode 2 AOTC. Indeed, Luke even had less training than even Rey from TROS, who spent 13 months training with Leia. And yet, Luke beat Vader in a fair battle. The same Vader with decades of experience, who cut down Masters who also trained for decades. And this comes from Lucas himself, not Disney. So if Luke had so little training and experience, why should Palpatine fear hil at all? Sadly, why the prequels is my favorite era, it also threw a metaphorical wrench into the OT as Luke is now the poster child for "training not needed to beat a Sith Lord.". LMAO 🤣
Luke while being assailed by force lighting cries out "Father!" This snaps Anakin out of the Emperors Thrall. Suddenly, as if a spell is broken, he's just a normal dad seeing his kid being roasted in front of him. His and his beloved Padmes kid. He suddenly feels that old hurt again that he'd locked away so deep inside and more, what a Father feels for child. Then he does what any real father does when his son is being hurt. He removes the threat. In this case by weathering the storm and casting the Emperor into the abyss.
I haven't dug too deep into EU but on accident or on purpose, it seemed like Luke also took on the will of Qui-Gon. By Return of the Jedi it looked he was following the will of the force and eventually redeemed Vader as Qui-Gon could have saved him, before the fall, had he lived. Which makes the treatment of Luke in the sequels even worse.
Palpatine likely funneled Padme's lifeforce into Anakin to keep him alive, which part may have also passed on to the kids, but was funneled out after the kids were born rather than before like Palpatine thought
This lack of continuity in the sequel trilogy with the original trilogy is one of many reasons why I greatly dislike the Disney abominations. The emperor, Vader and the empire had wiped out the 10000’s of jedi in the Jedi order. Then Luke comes along starts training and he’s so powerful that he causes such a disturbance in the force that the first time we saw the emperor on the screen was in the ESB, to warn Vader of this GREAT DISTURBANCE caused by Luke who is so powerful that he’s not to be trifled with. That he could destroy them all. Then Disney comes along and not understanding, appreciating Luke. They admitted that they didn’t know how to write for his character it was decided to turn him into some run of the mill Jedi.
From the novelization of Empire Strikes Back in two different passages: "There is a great disturbance in the Force. We have a new enemy. The Force is Strong with him. He could destroy us. The son of Skywalker must not become a jedi." " Luke you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this." While it is clear Vader knew the Emperor feared Luke's power, it is not clear if he truly knew about the vision the Emperor had.
It is known that "Fulcrum", one of the Rebellion's greatest assets, was Ahsoka, the former Padawan of Anakin. While we also know that she was "stuck" in the world between worlds around the time of the Battle of Yavin, as far as I am aware, we do not know when she actually rejoined this reality. (It certainly had to have been near, possibly right after, the Battle of Endor.) In any case, I am curious to know what her thoughts were when she first learned of Luke and his accomplishments; putting the kahosh on Project Stardust (quite succinctly), and the redemption of Anakin, to name the top two.
There is another aspect at play here, and that is that Luke was absolutely _NOT_ a conventional Jedi. Either Yoda or Obi-Wan taught Luke to "force-choke", or Luke learned it on his own, but he used it against the piggy-guards in R.O.T.J. in Jabba's palace. On the one hand, it meant that maybe Luke had a foot in "the dark side", but more likely, it meant that Luke had already been confronted with his dark-side 'test', and had already made his decision. It meant that he would probably not fail it on the second time, either.
1:27 I remember the Emperor had said, “Strange that I have not (sensed Luke’s presence).” You’re not all-powerful! You can’t expect to sense EVERYTHING.
Palpatine knew Vader's "ultimate plan" cuz that's EVERY Sith Apprentice's Ultimate Plan.. Palps just worked that into a plan to corrupt, turn an replace Vader with Luke OR get rid of one enemy while also always having a servant either way. While makin his usual calculated risks when it suited him like the effect itd all have on either or both Skywalkers. Just like suckerin basically all the jedi multiple times an ways them years ago
Sidious was shitting his pantaloons over Luke because the 1st time they met, Luke was fearless. He threw his saber away like it was nothing and stood his ground like a boss. All while mouthing off at him the whole time. By comparison, Anakin ran away to snitch. Cut his fellow Jedi’s arm off & fell to his knees to beg for power and almost started to cry.
He was absolutely afraid. He told Vader himself that Luke could "destroy us." He was never afraid of any of the Jedi during his takeover of the Republic. Luke was a different story, even though Sidious was in control.
This is why you get a fan to make your movie. Lucas was a fan of Flash Gordon serials, so he made Luke that same brand of white-hatted good guy that was being grayed in the 1970s. White-hatted good guys don't try to kill their nephews out of anxiety. Instead, they rebuild their knightly order better than before, then marry a hot redhead assassin to have kids with.
Before Disney destroyed Star Wars and especially Luke, Luke beat Darth Vader. But he one upped them because he had the sight to see what outcomes would be. That, I think, was his strongest asset knowing the future and how to playthings out. By showing mercy and not killing Dath Vader, he proved the light side is more powerful, knowing Palpatine would react is a cowardly way and his hate for Skywalkers blood line, Luke exposed the emperor's fear and the Dark sides weakness to the light side of the force, and it drove Darth Vader to killing the emperor, as Luke had foreseen. The emperor defeated himself. Just as Darth Vader killed obi won, obi, telling him he will be more powerful after Darth strikes him down, was able to guide and teach Luke. The dark side never understood or always dismissed the light side, that was their downfall, not understanding the true power of the light side of the force.
Honestly just stfu already. Wah Disney didn't do what you wanted it's almost like there's a fuck ton of Star Wars content outside of those shitty sequels.
Palpatine might be afraid of Luke’s power, but personally I think what he’s afraid of more is that Luke not only had something to fight for, but he had something he would die for. Vader was essentially a cyborg slave. That has to diminish your power. Luke has drive and a mission, and that makes people very dangerous.
I can't help but notice that "wary" and "weary" are used correctly around here now. More than welcome! I think Geetsly's and Metanerdz still get it wrong now and then.
Luke found true balance, compassion, and both embraced and became able to manage his fear completely and his anger was the only crack to get through. Luke is cool headed, it takes a threat to his sister to temporarily, something that would put most brothers into a killing rage but he gets even that under control. Palpatine hadn't met a jedi like Luke before, completely independent and unbreakable in his resolve. Palpatine could have either killed or had luke killed at any time, and ought to have, he arranged his own downfall. The quote from Tolkien "Evil oft will evil mar" really applies here too.
Ummm.. As far as the new films are concerned, Luke was not feared by grandpa palpatine. He was absolutely useless. Trained for nothing, suffered for nothing, born for nothing… Millions upon millions dead, death stars destroyed with countless employees onboard, Alderaan blown to bits, vader, murderer of children, soul handed over for an already dead padme’, obi-wan, Qui-gon, Dooku, Maul, Owen, Beru.. You name it.. DEAD A bunch of dead folks in pursuit of liberation from a dude who would just show up later with new ships and another planet killer.. Because… A family reunion with his biological and midichlorian spawned grand kids?????? 😂😂😂😂 NOPE..
I always loved how when Vader says “I see you have constructed a new lightsaber” and ignites it and sees that it’s green, even though there was conflict in him, in that moment you could tell how proud he was of Luke. Anakin was the chosen one and he didn’t have a green lightsaber, which baffles me because Anakins skills were unmatched. Luke must have been pretty damn good to impress Vader like that. That’s my favorite part of all of the movies.
Nice video, for the most part. Seems like you've layered in some di$ney Star Wars. None-the-less... Based upon canon from the original six movies and books/media prior to 2012, as soon as he was made aware of Luke's existence, the Emperor knew he was a potential threat. By bringing Luke to the Death Star, he was overconfident on both his power over the force, his influence over Vader and he underestimated Luke's abilities. He thought he could pit son against father and either way he'd win.
We never saw the Emperors reaction when Vader sensed Luke's concern for his sister (revealing that he had one) But I can only assume that upon hearing Vader say that, Palpatines heart dropped into his stomach. Suddenly filled with terror from not having sensed a thing. The feeling that he'd set all this up as a clever trap but suddenly feeling like he'd fallen into one himself.
Thank you soooo much for this! I can’t stomach the “non cannon Disney” crap and this amazingly crafted blast from the past video is incredible even by your continuity. Beauty of a vid Thanks again, I can’t wait to watch with my son May the Force be with yo
I agree mostly. Additionally, it's the fear of a new jedi order without the flaws of the past especially in regard to the darkside just like bendu did not fear the darkside and therefore more capable of defeating a sith.
...while Luke motions with his hand as if doing a mind trick. Not that Vader would succumb to a mind trick or even need to encouragement to betray Sidious.
I like that this video mentioned he was a Skywalker and some things come more natural to him, but that's as far as they went in the this jedi is more powerful than that jedi game. With the video shifted focus to Palpatine's concern about Vader replacing him and then realizing that Padme had had Anakin's son and he was becoming a jedi - it really did become a race at that point. It's less about Luke's power as a jedi, and more about him and his father working together to defeat and usurp him. Because even if Luke wasn't aware of how the Sith work, Vader certainly was and he knew what had happened to Palpatine's other apprentices.

Palpatine groomed Anakin, who was unstable and easy prey. Luke lacked his father's weaknesses and inner demons and had no emotional or mental ties to Palpatine.
I don't hear enough credit going to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru for this. Wonderful parents!
@@mikek0135 I'm impressed at how good they made Owen and Beru out to be in mere minutes of screen time in Kenobi
Because he wasn't as simp, for his chickie.
Luke was privileged in regards to not having the dogmatic religion imposed on him by the jedi council.
Anakins insecurities where affirmed at a young age by the jedi council, he then had a teacher who was not aligned to manage his overwhelming need for reassurance to satisfy his need to prove everyone wrong, that he is worthy.
Luke and Anakin are similar and as it's hard to say if he would have turned out the same as anakin giving the same circumstances, the fact remains Luke as great as he is had a much more privileged jedi training process and learning from a balanced methods in the means of grand master yoda & a wiser Obi wan who had learned from the mistakes he made with anakin giving Luke an unfair advantage if your to compare the 2.
The big thing was because Palpatine groomed Anakin, he was kind of alone and didn't really have any true friends outside of the Jedi aside from Palpatine, and Palpatine took full advantage of it. Luke, on the other hand, wasn't alone. He had family and friends from all walks of life who had his back, who supported him if he struggled, friends who could pull him back if he turned to the darkside.
Luke had a loving father figure so Palpatine couldn’t manipulate him by means of being a friend and father figure like he did with Anakin and Luke always knew that Palpatine was evil, they never had a bond that Palpatine and Anakin had. Luke had all of Anakin’s strengths but lacked Anakin’s biggest vulnerabilities.
Anakin was basically heartbroken and discouraged by his best friends, his wife, and the Jedi. Luke, on the other hand, Luke was respected by his friends and Jedi. He never had a issue with anyone and never felt manipulated or betrayed.
@@TheMail518in a more philosophical sense; Luke represents the Re-birth of anakin, Vader represents all of anakin's weak points. Padme died in childbirth and when she died, Vader was truly born, when Luke and Leia were born. Luke carries with him, anakin's legacy. Anakin was the chosen one, but did not realize the prophecy by himself, he was only able to with the help of his son. Because Luke was alive, a small piece of anakin's soul was alive as well, which allowed him to come back; if only for a moment at the end.
I mean there weren't many jedi left to respect him but facts
Tbf Palpatine wasn’t hiding anything when Luke met him.
Anakin was always a whiny little mama's boy, Luke was raised by his aunt and uncle in a stable environment. Palpatine never had a chance to manipulate Luke, and chances are Luke would have looked up how his mother died after finding out Vader was Anakin. So he would have realized Palpatine manipulated Vader and would have prepared himself to face the Emperor, that's why he seemed so detached when he surrendered to Vader in Return of the Jedi.
Luke was strong in the force just like his father. But most importantly Luke’s love for his father was powerful as well.
And his friends. Luke was unwilling to let go of hope. No matter what happened

@Demiurge13 💯. They did that on purpose to destroy his character. It's very obvious and why I didn't bother finishing that run of movies. But loved how Filoni and Favreau redeemed him in their series....
@@JscottSearsI like what they did in their series yea, but the sequel trilogy still happens so it's all for naught. Besides, Filoni proved what a hack and yesman he is to kathleen kennedy with the other seaons and shows, especially Ahsoka. No Luke anywhere, as if that would really happen

Darth Vader: it is pointless to resist, my son
05:12 - 1 reason : Unlike Anakin, Luke had direct tutoring, care and compassion from both Yoda and Obi Wan, who had themselves developed a greater understanding of the dark side following their exile.
For Palpetine, Luke was now a very dangerous advisery.
He had a much stronger willpower, greater resistance to the dark than Anakin ever did and swaying him was going to be MUCH HARDER
Palpatine, being a scholar of the Force had to know of the prophecy of the One to Bring Balance to The Force. It could easily be argued that while Vader did indeed end the Emperor's reign, Luke was the one who brought balance within Vader. Tempering his anger and power with compassion and protectiveness of his son.
anakin destroyed both the jedi and the sith, thus bringing balance
. That makes perfect sense. Bravo!
Luke is a top tiered Jedi and had two excellent Jedi Masters. Palpatine is a lot of things including being the darkest of the Sith Lords but he is not stupid enough to afford to Not consider Luke a threat
Facts. Like said, he was trained by the only jedi master to counter Sidious greatest darkside atttack, and the one jedi master that beat Vader, beat Maul, and beat Grevious. Luke couldn’t have found better trainers even when the jedi order existed.
@@frankdees507 both Master Yoda and Obi Wan are top tiered Jedi Master
@@DeathScepter They being the last two surviving jedi in an order of 10,000 says it all.
Idk about being the darkest sith since darth Bane created a force/mind bomb that trapped over a thousand Jedi and dark side army after luring both to a cave that amplified the power by several fold. After that the force sphere had the screams of echoes of the dead. Source is from the book: darth bane rule of two
@@bruticus1496 it would be naive to think that Sith are not evil or vicious. Darth Bane did a lot to call him quite evil. Zannah did her fair share, and every Sith after her. Keep in mind the point of Sith training is to became that evil
What did Palpatine really know about Luke as a person? He was able to learn and exploit Anakin's fears. Luke was a powerful but completely unknown entity trained by Obi-Wan and Yoda. Palpatine found one weakness in Luke's attachment to his friends. However, he completely missed Luke's feelings for the father he unconditionally loved and yearned to know all his life.
Makes sense. A New Hope showed that growing up Luke idolized his father. He was told all of his life that his Dad was a hero.
So in the Throne room all of these emotions go through Luke. Ending with Luke throwing down his saber, refusing to kill his father, his hero. And in the end Luke got to see the hero that his father was that he knew from growing up.
Palpatine had likely experienced visions that would have indicated just how immensely powerful Luke would become and that his power would surpass his own. He may have foreseen a possibility that Luke would not only seek to revive the Jedi Order, but to do so with amendments that would eliminate the previous issues that afflicted it's predecessor, namely the following of Revan's philosophy that having loved ones actually strengthened their connection to the Light Side, contrary to the assertions of other Jedi.
Ultimately, Luke would use techniques and ideas that would bring the Jedi back more to the way of the original Je D'aii, who learned both light and dark in balance, thus giving them greater power and dominion within the Force, and Palpatine may well have seen some of this and rightly crapped himself at the concept.
Within the new canon, Palpatine felt no fear.
He did infact have a vision of Luke surpassing him, as a Sith.
Sith Luke killed Palpatine in the vision.
That sith Luke was trained fully to potential by Vader himself.
The great disturbance. It's in esb.
Palpatine can feed off of anger fear and hatred. He wants the most powerful apprentice so he can amp and if need be, essence transfer.
The greatest blow the sith ever suffered came from the boy who appealed to his fathers greater nature. Never giving up on him despite his fathers crimes. Leia was also equally dangerous. Vader could never break her will. The skywalker blood is powerful.
Excellent comment!!!
Exactly why TLJ is not canon and should be ignored.
@angeld4442 agree.I don't count disney films as cannon.
True, but I would put credits down on that Vader, if he failed to convert Luke, knew he could use Luke's sister's anger to help push her into the dark side. Remember anger is the pathway and she definiltey had a lot of anger, for Vader.
Leia might consider being a sith the only way to kill Vader and get her revenge. Thus of course becoming a sith master herself - the very thing she hates.
Since every sith knows their apprentice will ultimately either die or overthrow them, it's useful to train dark jedi. Best your own pupil become a sith master by overthrowing you than by some other means... Rule of two.
I’m glad you brought up how Sidious made that suit for Vader. He was still afraid of Vader too, even as Vader became his right hand, he wanted to keep him in check as well.
Sith's lifestyle and aspirations is a 'bitch on a leash's game of power. :P
@@sobreaver Bane’s a bastard for changing up the rules of the Sith 😂
Palpatine knew that living under the Rule Of Two meant that to live by the sword also afforded a significant chance to die by it as well, so sought to blunt said metaphorical sword. However, you have to shsrpen a sword to make it cut, and Luke was the stone that would achieve that.
This is incorrect. He felt no fear. He did not hold Vader back.
He wants the chosen one, why would he hold vader back?
He doesn't. He can amp from feeding off others anger fear and hatred
Vader could have overthrown him anytime he wished, he didn’t want too because he felt palpatine was all he had left he only started plotting when he discovered luke. Luke was more than just a apprentice to Vader he was hell bent on ruling the galaxy as a family. Although Luke’s presence slowly Brought Vader back to the light due to love and care for each other.
Palpatine told Vader that Luke could destroy them both after he blew up the first death star.Palpatines fear of Luke has been known since the original trilogy came out.
He had Anakins power, but more importantly, he had Padmes heart ❤️
Such a great comment
Underrated connection to mother
Owen and Beru don’t get enough love
Yes sir! Padme and Luke were the only living beings in the universe who thought Vader still had good in him. Luke got that love from his mom.
And Ben's control :)
The hilarious part is that, according to this version of the story, had obi wan and Yoda thought about maybe not letting Luke keep the Skywalker name, neither Vader nor the emperor would know who he is lol.
They would just figure it out later if Luke encounters Vader for a long enough period Anakin will begin to sense something familiar about him and starts asking questions Luke will say you killed my father Anakin Skywalker and Vader is all like I’m your father.
Leia: "I know. Somehow, I've always known."
Skywalker was a common surname in that universe. Expanded universe explains that.
True. If Vader couldn't sense Leia was his while TOUCHING HER there was no way he would have known Luke without the last name. And if they didn't tell Luke ANYTHING about Anakin, which you think they would have for security purposes (Imagine a 12 year old Luke asking people in town about his father. This would have happened) Luke wouldn't have hesitated to cut Vader down. Emperor or not.
I don't think Lucas really intended Leia to be his sister when he made the first movie.
Yoda and Obiwan wanted Luke to kill Darth Vader. Luke made the decision, on his own, against the wishes of two Jedi masters, to try to bring his father back from the dark side. And he did.
He did kill darth vader from a certain point of view
He disabled Vader, while freeing his mind & saving his heart! In weakened status Palatine was able to kill him as Anakin was trying to save Luke by killing emperor, by sacrificing himself & putting end of Vader!

Thank you for focusing on what we all truly love.... the story. Not on the current 'celebrity gossip' surrounding what SW "currently is" and what certain franchises are chosing to do with it. Forget them. This video is for the true fans. Let's all just focus on what we love and always have loved about Star Wars.... the story.
Luke avenged his mom and dad!!! The skywalker blood is too strong!!!! Even for palpatine!!!
Vader wanted to turn Luke to the Dark side because he wanted to overthrow Sidious.
bro. yes.
News flash
At the end of Empire I always picture Palpatine showing up when Vader reaches toward Luke and says join me and together we can overthrow the Emperor. 😂 Would be perfect for Robot Chicken.
NO WAY wasnt that like the whole plot
The rule of two.
He had his father's power, and his mother's wisdom. His sister got the explosive temper.
I mean, Luke could have quite the temper too.
Oh I need a Darth Leia
Problem was Luke didn't have a Jedi's wisdom hence he tossed his lightsaber
@@brianstrutter1501nah, he had a true Jedis wisdom and that is WHY he tossed his Saber, signaling the he wouldn't be turned and would rather let himself die than kill his father, a huge act of compassion for his father that no doubt moved the needle for Vader to return to Anakin. Anakin was selfish, but to see his son perform a selfless act for him put a metaphoric crack in his armor. Vader was resigned to his fate but conveyed it in a remorseful way, Luke needed to show him the path to redemption. It was a gambit that Luke knew he would win, because he saw the flicker of light that was the soul of Anakin where Palpatine only saw the tortured soul of Vader. I'm sure Luke hadn't planned for it to escalate to that point going in, but trying to sway Vader with words was getting him nowhere. Once Luke threw his Saber down he knowingly put himself in a situation where the good in his father would HAVE to come through if there was any left.
@@c.j.echave Also it was character journey. First movie he mainly used the blaster. By the third movie he was full lightsaber and didn't carry a blaster. By the end of the third he didn't even need that to win, because the lightsaber never made anyone a Jedi or Sith.
Luke was in control of his emotions whereas Anakin was a nervous wreck. Fear the man that has control of his emotions.... Luke saw through Darth Sideous games, while Anakin was clouded by guilt and fear that's what Sideous used to manipulate Anakin. Plus Luke Skywalker like Yoda mastered the art of sith and Jedi, the dark secrets and had a balance, and self-control to overcome temptation and remain a Jedi
And then they ruin Luke in the sequels.
Thats not canon thats disney.
Don't worry...some of us are working on an EU-based series that gives the big fat bird to Disney for that sh!t! Our Luke is every bit the BAMF he was supposed to become! Kyle and Mara say hi, too!
What sequels?
I liked the novels better where luke married Mara Jade .Leia and Han had 3 children
Disney sequel do no it exists to me
The novelization goes into nice detail. There is a passage where Vader observes Palpatine shaking in fear as he is taunting Luke. Palps knows the swing is coming and he is not sure Vader will be fast enough to block it.
That is no longer canon
New canon has Palpatine feeling no fear for many many years
The irony of all of this and why I liked luke so much as a character (and absolutely loathed what they did to him in the movies) is that his greatest strength was always his hope. Luke is literally the most hopeful character in the starwars universe. To the point it inspired everyone around him, even his father. Even when everyone around him was telling him otherwise he never gave up on vader. And in the legend books they lean on that even more, with allowing anyone to be trained even if there was a risk of them turning to the darkside and causing harm later. There was always that hope that him and people around him could over come it. The movie idea of him giving up on a student and even entertaining the possibility of killing him was absolutely ludicrous. And probably the biggest sign that no one who wrote these movies so much as even picked up a starwars EU comic, let along a novel.
Legends only The Skywalkers, Abeloth, And The Leia Born Solos had the counts to surpass Sids yeah.
Abeloth is a very interesting case if i remember correctly it literally took the combined power of The Father The Son And The Daughter to banish her
He was afraid of Luke because Luke.Was never fooled
Because he foresaw that Luke could destroy them. He says it straight up in Empire Strikes Back. It's not a mystery.
Disney ruined Luke and now people don't comprehend how insanely powerful he ended up being. He's pretty much calm and serine like Obi-Wan but with the raw power of Anakin.
This is a great video. The amount of information and the way things just fall into line, to make that fear palpable in the Emperor. Luke of the Skywalker lineage, Yoda, OBK, involved in his training, Vader discovering the betrayl of Sidious.....outstanding.
There can be argument made that Vader, when Luke activated lightsaber to strike Palpatine, did not protect Palpatine but Luke, to not fall to the dark side as he did all those years ago ..
I do believe that is why he engaged luke, as he didn’t want Luke in palpatines game, he wanted him to turn but not the way palpatine was planning.
@@DeclanMcCreadie that is the reason why I said "There can be argument made" I based it on body language of Vader, when Luke surrendered himself on Endor and after their discussion. It is speculation but I think it is valid one
Probably because he knew that he couldn't worm his way into Luke's life like he did Anakin's.
What Disney star wars fans don't get is that luke Skywalker supposed to have the same amount of raw force potential as his father, George Lucas say it luke Skywalker was never supposed To be the Jake soywalker of sequels
In the sequels he technically has surpassed Anakin in living force abilities, power, and knowledge. It’s just that we never saw THAT POWER by Disney. We only got a “glimmer” of it within the mandalorian
@natesearfoss881 no Disney luke is featless
Sincerely, Luke being a bitter old man full of regrets, after seeing his life's work destroyed by his own nephew and seeing that despite all sacrifices he and his comrades made to free the galaxy of the Empire, there would still be people inclined to support that dark path, to me is be far more understandable than he still being naive at old age. Much like Yoda and Obi-Wan Luke had to overcome his sorrows and come around his own failures and accept that he was wrong, that he isn't the one meant to keep things moving anymore, that his role was to open the door to the new generation. That is about the only thing Disney got right in my opinion.
The feat of power Luke showed at the end is astounding, not because he could project a massive force illusion halfway across the galaxy, but the ilussion was powerful enough that even C3PO, a Droid registered Luke's presence in his sensors, as did all the First Order's walkers and ship's sensors. We never seen a Jedi being able to fool a droid's sensors with the Force before. And with that he shot his legend to unbelievable levels, inspiring a new generation of heroes to keep the flame of peace and justice burning.
But pretty much all the rest of Disney work on the sequels is pure and utter garbage.
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021so projecting yourself across the galaxy isn't a feat? I get Disney sucks but come one he did something
I can admit that not 1 single friend of mine IRL views the Disney Sequels as canon.
Not One!!
Palpatine was afraid that Luke could use a motion to sway Vader… which he did.
This was such a good episode! Keep up the great work!
Luke was perhaps the fear of the Jedi that Palpatine has always deep within him as this was the last chance the Jedi had returning and destroy the Sith.
This was very crucial moment. It was very difficult for Sidious. He had to think extremely fast. Obi-Wan and Yoda trained Luke. Taught him. I didn't knew how much Sidious was afraid of Luke. May the Force be with you too,always😁
Great vid bro
Appreciate it
I'll never forgive Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson for what they did to Luke and Mark Hamill. They took the man who threw his lightsaber away in the face of Palpatine and made him a depressed nephew killer cuz he "had a bad dream".
I 1000% agree!
If you want to solve a problem, you don't do it looking forwards but looking back..
I don't believe they were entirely at fault and Disney had their own version of Vader and Sidious pulling the strings
I feel worse for Mark Hammil out of anyone involved in the movies. Mark always embraced the Fandom and had a good spirit about it compared to Harrison. I'm sure Mark was very excited to reprise his career defining role only to have it ruined to "subvert our expectations". We expected a good movie.
Expectations subverted 👏
Mark even stated he didn’t like the new portrayal of Luke. And that it wasn’t who Luke was.
It’s a disgrace what Johnson did to Luke not to mention the other areas of the franchise he just trampled on, I hate him and I hate watching interviews where you can see his joy at what he’s done he knew fine well what he was doing and enjoyed it whilst he done it, I refuse to watch or support anything he’s been a part of since and I wish him a terrible career of insignificance going forward
Vader: just remember this my son; never concede... the high ground!
Great video. One of your best in a while. Probably has something to do with it focusing on my childhood hero, Luke Skywalker. He deserves to have his story, post ROTJ, properly told.
.. excellent job on the video.. perfect for a story for naps & bedtime..may the force be with you..
Palpatine played a part in Anakin's life from teenager to early adulthood, but he had no such connection to Luke. Good old Palps held control over Vader through fear, manipulation and anger, while Luke held a stronger connection to Anakin through love, which was in connection to Padme.
This one was EXCELLENT - Kudos brother.
Good vid, and of course the emperor was fearful of Luke for all his goading to be "struck down" and trying to get Luke to kill him, the fact he couldn't spend twenty years poisoning his mind and prodding him made the unknown element of Luke so much more terrifying. Adding on that Ben and Yoda trained him added to that fear, and probably had Palpatine fuming over their survival.
exactly as you expertly said he was far more comfortable with Vader due to decades of conditioning hell even before Revenge Of The Sith
he had a very close relationship with Anikan and influenced him a decent bit growing up
it was not a sudden turn to the darkside in reality Palpatine had been training him for this for years
but Luke
Luke was a dude he had literally just met for the first time and could sense his growing power and he knew it would be alot harder to control him then Vader
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 there's also the fact that say.
"Ok Palpatine managed to turn Luke to the dark side."
What's exactly just stopping him from siding with Vader anyways like idk but 99.9% of people are choosing their dad over a half dead old guy they just met.
@@chadflanaganCFC honestly that really is a good point your right Palpatine probably realized at the end this is not going to end well for him even if he turns Luke he's going to side with Vader and kill me
This video was so good man fantastic job!
"Luke could not have been trained by two worst individuals for his plans"
Qui-Gon Jin, if he was alive at that time: "Dude, where's my respect?"
Leeme just bump my lightsaber in the air 3 times like a monkey with a pole and he'll not wait for backup and kill him.
I don't think he's a viable option, considering he's been dead for 36 years at that point. Heck, even if he didn't get killed by Maul, he'd probably die of old age.
This video lacks context. Although not stated I am confident that the novelization this video comes from the ROTJ, came out BEFORE THE PREQUELS. And the reason this is so important is because once Mr. Lucas fleshed out how much training going into a single Jedi, it fundamentally changes how we should perceive Luke's training. Believe it or not, Luke receives roughly 3 months of training from Jedi Masters and undergoes 12 months self-taught from books without any force ghosts to guide him. Thus, Luke beat Vader and threatened Palpatine not on experience or skill but sheer raw power. Luke had less training than Padwan Obi-wan from Epsiode 1 TPM and less training than Anakin in Episode 2 AOTC. Indeed, Luke even had less training than even Rey from TROS, who spent 13 months training with Leia. And yet, Luke beat Vader in a fair battle. The same Vader with decades of experience, who cut down Masters who also trained for decades. And this comes from Lucas himself, not Disney. So if Luke had so little training and experience, why should Palpatine fear hil at all? Sadly, why the prequels is my favorite era, it also threw a metaphorical wrench into the OT as Luke is now the poster child for "training not needed to beat a Sith Lord.". LMAO 🤣
Luke while being assailed by force lighting cries out "Father!"
This snaps Anakin out of the Emperors Thrall. Suddenly, as if a spell is broken, he's just a normal dad seeing his kid being roasted in front of him. His and his beloved Padmes kid. He suddenly feels that old hurt again that he'd locked away so deep inside and more, what a Father feels for child. Then he does what any real father does when his son is being hurt. He removes the threat. In this case by weathering the storm and casting the Emperor into the abyss.
You watched the movie too then.
I haven't dug too deep into EU but on accident or on purpose, it seemed like Luke also took on the will of Qui-Gon. By Return of the Jedi it looked he was following the will of the force and eventually redeemed Vader as Qui-Gon could have saved him, before the fall, had he lived. Which makes the treatment of Luke in the sequels even worse.
Palpatine likely funneled Padme's lifeforce into Anakin to keep him alive, which part may have also passed on to the kids, but was funneled out after the kids were born rather than before like Palpatine thought
This lack of continuity in the sequel trilogy with the original trilogy is one of many reasons why I greatly dislike the Disney abominations.
The emperor, Vader and the empire had wiped out the 10000’s of jedi in the Jedi order. Then Luke comes along starts training and he’s so powerful that he causes such a disturbance in the force that the first time we saw the emperor on the screen was in the ESB, to warn Vader of this GREAT DISTURBANCE caused by Luke who is so powerful that he’s not to be trifled with. That he could destroy them all.
Then Disney comes along and not understanding, appreciating Luke. They admitted that they didn’t know how to write for his character it was decided to turn him into some run of the mill Jedi.
Lucas said it himself Luke is thebmost powerful, legends made him the most powerful Disney killed him
Your videos are awesome. You really break it down and give us context the movies lack. Great job!
Luke was not as easily manipulated as anakin, Luke grew up in a more structured environment compared to where anakin was a slave.
From the novelization of Empire Strikes Back in two different passages: "There is a great disturbance in the Force. We have a new enemy. The Force is Strong with him. He could destroy us. The son of Skywalker must not become a jedi." " Luke you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this." While it is clear Vader knew the Emperor feared Luke's power, it is not clear if he truly knew about the vision the Emperor had.
Nicely done video
Your 10 min video is better than anything Disney came out with.
It is known that "Fulcrum", one of the Rebellion's greatest assets, was Ahsoka, the former Padawan of Anakin. While we also know that she was "stuck" in the world between worlds around the time of the Battle of Yavin, as far as I am aware, we do not know when she actually rejoined this reality. (It certainly had to have been near, possibly right after, the Battle of Endor.) In any case, I am curious to know what her thoughts were when she first learned of Luke and his accomplishments; putting the kahosh on Project Stardust (quite succinctly), and the redemption of Anakin, to name the top two.
There is another aspect at play here, and that is that Luke was absolutely _NOT_ a conventional Jedi. Either Yoda or Obi-Wan taught Luke to "force-choke", or Luke learned it on his own, but he used it against the piggy-guards in R.O.T.J. in Jabba's palace. On the one hand, it meant that maybe Luke had a foot in "the dark side", but more likely, it meant that Luke had already been confronted with his dark-side 'test', and had already made his decision. It meant that he would probably not fail it on the second time, either.
Luke began as a Guardian and arose as a Consular. Blue to green.
Well done !
Narrative is good & enlightening !
Never saw that angle !!
Luke lost his family and remained a Jedi.
1:27 I remember the Emperor had said, “Strange that I have not (sensed Luke’s presence).” You’re not all-powerful! You can’t expect to sense EVERYTHING.
More proof disney ruins everything it touches.
I did not know Vader’s suit was weak to lightning!! What a genius
The power to Make the thumbs up to go from 3K to 3.1K is a power the Jedi wouldn’t tell you
Luke naturally had a great ability to adapt to all situations involving the force. He is very gifted in that aspect.
Luke was tired and wanted a sit down.
Palpatine knew Vader's "ultimate plan" cuz that's EVERY Sith Apprentice's Ultimate Plan.. Palps just worked that into a plan to corrupt, turn an replace Vader with Luke OR get rid of one enemy while also always having a servant either way. While makin his usual calculated risks when it suited him like the effect itd all have on either or both Skywalkers. Just like suckerin basically all the jedi multiple times an ways them years ago
What Disney did to Luke was criminal and they have the balls to make a ray palpatine movie again
👏
Sidious was shitting his pantaloons over Luke because the 1st time they met, Luke was fearless. He threw his saber away like it was nothing and stood his ground like a boss. All while mouthing off at him the whole time. By comparison, Anakin ran away to snitch. Cut his fellow Jedi’s arm off & fell to his knees to beg for power and almost started to cry.
I also think that the force hid lukes presence from Palpatine
He was absolutely afraid. He told Vader himself that Luke could "destroy us." He was never afraid of any of the Jedi during his takeover of the Republic. Luke was a different story, even though Sidious was in control.
He felt no fear in new canon
He was interested
He saw his own death in a vision of a sith Luke
He wanted him as his apprentice
Luke was HIM.
Especially Legends Luke, Disney did his character so wrong, same with Han Solo.
@@user-KR386 I refuse to acknowledge any live action Star Wars content post-Return of the Jedi as canon.
“Oh no a Skywalker I didn’t groom since he was a child”
Would you do a video on why Luke wore black. One could see Luke wearing gray or khaki. Thank you.
Well... He IS Vader's son 😅, it's the Skywalker drip
This is delightful! I’m falling in love with Star Wars all over again ❤❤❤
This is why you get a fan to make your movie. Lucas was a fan of Flash Gordon serials, so he made Luke that same brand of white-hatted good guy that was being grayed in the 1970s.
White-hatted good guys don't try to kill their nephews out of anxiety. Instead, they rebuild their knightly order better than before, then marry a hot redhead assassin to have kids with.
Before Disney destroyed Star Wars and especially Luke, Luke beat Darth Vader. But he one upped them because he had the sight to see what outcomes would be. That, I think, was his strongest asset knowing the future and how to playthings out. By showing mercy and not killing Dath Vader, he proved the light side is more powerful, knowing Palpatine would react is a cowardly way and his hate for Skywalkers blood line, Luke exposed the emperor's fear and the Dark sides weakness to the light side of the force, and it drove Darth Vader to killing the emperor, as Luke had foreseen. The emperor defeated himself. Just as Darth Vader killed obi won, obi, telling him he will be more powerful after Darth strikes him down, was able to guide and teach Luke. The dark side never understood or always dismissed the light side, that was their downfall, not understanding the true power of the light side of the force.
Star wars has been destroyed thanks to Disney...I don't know what the last three movies were...and yesthey destroyed Luke's character
Honestly just stfu already. Wah Disney didn't do what you wanted it's almost like there's a fuck ton of Star Wars content outside of those shitty sequels.
Palpatine might be afraid of Luke’s power, but personally I think what he’s afraid of more is that Luke not only had something to fight for, but he had something he would die for.
Vader was essentially a cyborg slave. That has to diminish your power. Luke has drive and a mission, and that makes people very dangerous.
Luke, like Mace Windu was a Grey Jedi, meaning they could use the dark side without succumbing to it
I can't help but notice that "wary" and "weary" are used correctly around here now. More than welcome! I think Geetsly's and Metanerdz still get it wrong now and then.
He knew Luke only partakes of the most fabulous blue and green milks the galaxy has to offer.
Luke found true balance, compassion, and both embraced and became able to manage his fear completely and his anger was the only crack to get through. Luke is cool headed, it takes a threat to his sister to temporarily, something that would put most brothers into a killing rage but he gets even that under control. Palpatine hadn't met a jedi like Luke before, completely independent and unbreakable in his resolve. Palpatine could have either killed or had luke killed at any time, and ought to have, he arranged his own downfall. The quote from Tolkien "Evil oft will evil mar" really applies here too.
Because he knew Anakin like a book, he didnt know Luke
3:56 And he did, literally.
Ummm.. As far as the new films are concerned, Luke was not feared by grandpa palpatine.
He was absolutely useless. Trained for nothing, suffered for nothing, born for nothing…
Millions upon millions dead, death stars destroyed with countless employees onboard, Alderaan blown to bits, vader, murderer of children, soul handed over for an already dead padme’, obi-wan, Qui-gon, Dooku, Maul, Owen, Beru..
You name it.. DEAD
A bunch of dead folks in pursuit of liberation from a dude who would just show up later with new ships and another planet killer.. Because…
A family reunion with his biological and midichlorian spawned grand kids??????
😂😂😂😂
NOPE..
Basically he’s afraid of Luke because he did not “proceed as he had foreseen.” Lol
Cause he had all his limbs and still full of untapped raw potential
I always loved how when Vader says “I see you have constructed a new lightsaber” and ignites it and sees that it’s green, even though there was conflict in him, in that moment you could tell how proud he was of Luke. Anakin was the chosen one and he didn’t have a green lightsaber, which baffles me because Anakins skills were unmatched. Luke must have been pretty damn good to impress Vader like that. That’s my favorite part of all of the movies.
Tremendous insight! Well done!
Nice video, for the most part. Seems like you've layered in some di$ney Star Wars. None-the-less...
Based upon canon from the original six movies and books/media prior to 2012, as soon as he was made aware of Luke's existence, the Emperor knew he was a potential threat. By bringing Luke to the Death Star, he was overconfident on both his power over the force, his influence over Vader and he underestimated Luke's abilities. He thought he could pit son against father and either way he'd win.
We never saw the Emperors reaction when Vader sensed Luke's concern for his sister (revealing that he had one)
But I can only assume that upon hearing Vader say that, Palpatines heart dropped into his stomach. Suddenly filled with terror from not having sensed a thing.
The feeling that he'd set all this up as a clever trap but suddenly feeling like he'd fallen into one himself.
Thank you soooo much for this!
I can’t stomach the “non cannon Disney” crap and this amazingly crafted blast from the past video is incredible even by your continuity.
Beauty of a vid
Thanks again, I can’t wait to watch with my son
May the Force be with yo
I agree mostly. Additionally, it's the fear of a new jedi order without the flaws of the past especially in regard to the darkside just like bendu did not fear the darkside and therefore more capable of defeating a sith.
This gives a whole new perspective to "the son of Skywalker must not become a jedi."
Vader: I'm going to give Sidious the shaft and overthrow him...
Luke: You're going to throw the Emperor over into a shaft...
...while Luke motions with his hand as if doing a mind trick. Not that Vader would succumb to a mind trick or even need to encouragement to betray Sidious.
@@jamesbellefeuille2926 Exactly XD
I like that this video mentioned he was a Skywalker and some things come more natural to him, but that's as far as they went in the this jedi is more powerful than that jedi game. With the video shifted focus to Palpatine's concern about Vader replacing him and then realizing that Padme had had Anakin's son and he was becoming a jedi - it really did become a race at that point. It's less about Luke's power as a jedi, and more about him and his father working together to defeat and usurp him. Because even if Luke wasn't aware of how the Sith work, Vader certainly was and he knew what had happened to Palpatine's other apprentices.
