0:05 I know Luke is Anakin's/Vader's son, but heir? Personally, I think Darth Caedus fits that bill more than Luke, but not because he's more powerful (He's not), but because he continued Vader's Legacy of Evil in The Galaxy, while having his blood through his mother, Leia.
My hero of all time is Luke Skywalker, Grand Jedi Master. He is so powerful, yet so caring and still humble. He is loved by his sister and friends, revered by the New Alliance, adored by his students and feared by his dark side enemies. My Luke is the one of Legends, never the one of the last trilogy.

The true Luke Skywalker. What a fantastic character and a great video showing just how powerful he truly is. I’d love to see a character analysis of how he was as a person in the EU. Also I’m gonna read most of the novels from the EU mainly post RotJ. I must learn more

One impessive feat of telekinesis if one thinks about it was him stopping a foodfight, freezing every single object, crumb n droplet in midflight, that was thrown around. He did so directly upon appearing to the sirtuation, without preparedness, basicly to make a point. In the first black fleet book he manipulated the shattered remains of vader's coruscant fortress on a molecular level with the force to rebuild it. So the most impressive thing isn't really his powerlevel but his level of control n mastery of the force. Not his talent or potential, but his actual skill.
One of the greatest examples of Luke's heroism and authority is when he called jaina "master solo" during the last battle against the lost tribe of the sith on coruscant in "fate of the jedi-apocalypse."
That intro did kind of change the way I view Luke. I haven’t read too many legends novels yet (I will), but I always pictured him to be kind of a perfect Jedi after his “I am a Jedi like my father before me” moment in ROTJ. I was initially put off by some of the things that he would go on to do mentioned in the video, but none of it ruins his character as bad as Rian Johnson did.
Luke is very understanding of falling into rage,He just prefers if you balance that feeling,But his life has always danced with the dark lmao,He turned to the dark to try to kill palpatine in a ha *Gotcha bitch* moment,And was almost consumed by it
I like Luke Skywalker in Legends because he feels more realistic as a hero fighting an oppressive up hill battle against pure evil while skirting the line himself.
I feel like a large part or lukes power comes from his understanding of his own connection to the dark side. Hes not a saint, but a man who has fully mastered himself spiritually. The most powerful force using characters in the star wars EU have learned both the dark and light side, and rejected the dogma of the sith/jedi dichotomy.
Everything you said is why I enjoy Luke in the EU so much. All that power but he's still just a man. And as a man who has made many mistakes in my life, I can relate to him.
He saved Darth Caedus. He knew he was going to kill his nephew and he may went straight beast mode not holding back. When you're not holding back you go crazy
I love how the expanded universe is getting more and more credit. Just shows what losers these multimillion dollar corporations are. Disney, with all it's might, is a mere shadow of the passion of old EU.
So back in the day, we pre-prequel trilogy gamers held a loose consensus that blasters fired "light energy" or, as also stated in numerous sources, plasma. Lasers are...lasers, and in canon travel as lasers do but lasers are very rarely if ever handheld weapons in Star Wars.
So just 2 questions about abeloth, 1-in the scan that states that abeloth is weaker than the celestials at 11:33, isn’t that referring to before abeloth turned into a monster? because it immediately talks about abeloth becoming corrupted after stating she was less powerful, meaning her corruption could have elevated her above the celestials since she was corrupted trying to become more powerful. 2-wouldn’t the fact that it takes both the son and the daughter to imprison her mean that at the least she’s stronger than them individually?
I've always loved Luke, first saw Star Wars at 11, so of course he became a hero. Yet over time he needed to be the hero, just like Vader/Anakin needed to always be the villain. Doing back flips to make vader good or making Luke bad is going against the idea of the story.
It’s absolutely sinful what they did. Like most Star Wars fans don’t consider it Canon because it’s so fundamentally backwards. If all the Jedi that have ever existed Luke Skywalker is the least likely to have ignited his lightsaber whilst standing over his nephew. It would have NEVER happened. It’s the absolute opposite of everything Luke Skywalker is.
The absolute opposite, words cannot describe how immeasurably wrong they got Luke Skywalker. I don’t think there has ever been such a catastrophically incorrect decision in all of film making history. Fans literally do not accept those films as Canon because of that decision. Mark Hamill himself had to save us all from it by calling him Jake Skywalker. It’s an unforgivable offence to do what they did.
Kathleen Kennedy shows her true colors in the "sequel trilogy" - GIVING Rey EVERYTHING that was Luke's, INCLUDING HIS NAME, without her having to EARN any of it. All the power and accolades of the man without any of the work or accountability. Yep, sounds like feminism alright.
Great video! I love the Legends, Loop Skywalker, I would love to of had this version of him in movies instead of what we got in Disney, however, this version of Luke and Legends is my true cannon what happened after return of the Jedi.
Sound and solid points with great support for your position. I didn't really like Luke growing up. I got started on the prequels, so in my mind, a Jedi had to work for decades and train endlessly to be successful. Yes we know Luke is a force abberation but so was Anakin, and he had to train for a decade... I always felt like Luke was a bit of a Mary Sue. It took a long time for me to accept and appreciate Luke's power, I just hated how quickly it came to him. A couple months on Dagobah, year or two in isolation. Like Luke versus Maul, in my headcannon, that's Maul all day. But we know that's an absolute impossibility, and Luke is way ahead of him, like realistically could probably have beat him one on one without ever have seeing a sith, which is kinda crazy. I still feel ANAKIN is the strongest / had the highest level potential (Lv 120?) where as Luke was probably Lv 110 which is still God Tier but damn. Luke more powerful than all of the jedi council with just some self-reflection and a couple quick (albeit super focused) years of training never did sit right with me. Before all this disney star wars stuff, I used to ignore EU tbh. Now I view EU as cannon and got pissed watching disney Luke be a weak wimp. Lol. Ironic. (edit: spelling)
I love this channel because its always talking about my favorite character: luke skywalker, both spider-men, and nightwing. Lol make videos about zuko and invincible too.
Youd have to theorize what Lukes full potential amp would be on Mortis too, because its probably almost identical to mortis Anakin. We're comparing amped Anakin to GM base Luke
Wasn’t entirely sure on the music you played when moving to the different sections but the feats and explanations of the scaling like with Abeloth were peak as usual. Keep it up.
I 100% agree with you on his heroism scale. He’s definitely not perfect and that’s what makes him one of my favorites him and anikan are very similar in that sense
This makes it more complicated than it needs to be. Abeloths power grows with the fear and anguish she's able to feed off of. So her power scales depending on that. This is why she fears Luke. Hes the shining light to her darkness. She was imprisoned, but she was never able to be defeated by the son and daughter to the level that Luke and Krayt achieved. She is definitely more powerful than him by his own thoughts. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been able to bring balance to the son and daughter. That never got explored so we just don't know. Also George stated that Luke was the most powerful Jedi to have ever existed. That includes Anakin. Potential, with anakin being the chosen one, never turned into reality with his limitations. I feel like Luke's final legends form is what anakin could have been if he had been emotionally stable. On the other hand, being the chosen one could have been just a power to keep balance between the son and daughter. Not necessarily being the most powerful jedi. These videos are fun tho.
I was getting ready to point out that Luke wasn't at his full power when he faced Abeloth and she knew she couldn't defeat him further down the road lol. So I'm glad you added that in there
In the book "Shadows of the Empire" it says that Vader knew almost immediately when they started their fight that he couldn't beat Luke. That was before Luke succumbed to his anger. So even if Luke hadn't got pissed off he would've beaten Vader
People don't understand how powerful the force sever technique is it can completely destroy the midchronian on a person's body, exar kun tanked this technique in a massive escalate perform by over 2000 jedis creating a wall of light in the entire yavin4 moons 🌙 exar kun survived this the jedi couldn't kill him because he was too strong and wish to become a god, the jedi academy omnibus guide say exar kun was a threat to the entire universe.
@alsimmonshellspawn6021 no it does not. Other why, you would die what it does is essentially make you unable to use midchronian but the effects can be reversed
I never really got that Anakin was over powering the ones I thought it was him controlling them via being the chosen one not a feat of power but an ability inherent to his status. Otherwise I feel the scaling makes no sense
Anakins domination of son n daughter was inside mortis. A force nexus that's explicitly described to enhance force powers, which allowed qui gon to fully manifest there b4 his training of this trick was done. I see this feat of anakin as a scaling crutch over n over with everybody completely ignoring that fact. Also it was done, not to test anakin's strength, but his character. Therefore it is not at all clear if the son n daughter were even really trying to resist. It was a test to reveal if he would faulter, pick one of his companions over the other or try to help both no matter what. I loved to see ur deconstruction of the go to bit as a "proof" of abeloths superiority over the ones. I think, that scene of anakin is a similar kinda problem, where ppl are rush to conclusion by using a scene at surface value without any concideration of context.
While Anakin was undeniably amped by Mortis, it's patently intellectually dishonest to try to pretend like as if the entire point of most of the arc is moot because of that, which is that Anakin is, flat out, meant to be a replacement for the Father in keeping the two in line. That includes them possibly escaping, as well, which we know they have done before. The obvious intention of the arc is that Anakin has Father-level potential. You can try to backflip and handwave your way past it all you want, it's a brick wall you are always going to need to deal with; Anakin, per the Mortis arc, is supposed to be able to equal or exceed the Father, the strongest individual character in the franchise. Luke, by contrast, is simply not on that level. He just isn't. FotJ and Crucible make it very, very clear that Luke isn't on the level of the Anchorites or other god-level people.
@@papapalps2415 he is meant to do so THERE, so it's not at all implied by the task, that hhe would ever gain the ability to do it outside mortis. The only possible counterpoint is that we also don't know how much of their access to the force the ones would keep outside. That point is just as unclear. In their current form during the arc they never were elsewhere, far away of any force nexus. But even if they were celetials, those were technicly advanced but still a mortal species b4 transcending. The ones actually seem to have been normal people once. I just can't stand how this particular feat of anakin is used again n again as scaling point for his power of any state he was in b4 his death. It's not about how could he perhaps b in some future, but how was he azt a specific point in time. The mortis arc was ended with a questionmark about how real it was. It doesn't becomes meaningless but more as source for insight n learning like any vision.
@@phorz85No ones saying Anakin can do what he did on Mortis without being on Mortis , the Father MADE Mostis so Anakin at Full potential could equal his power , but he never reached it so it's pointless to say he's anywhere close to that. The Ones are literally stated to be Concepts so I don't think they can age , you should know how Anakin became the guy with the highest Midochlorian count in history, it's cuz of Sidious and Plagus
0:05 I know that Luke is Anakin/Vader's son, but heir? Nope, Darth Caedus fits that title more than Luke, in my opinion, even though Luke still nearly beat him in Legacy of The Force. Luke can at least be his son, but not heir.
Dude grandmaster Luke is so much more powerful than Anakin at his peak before turning to the dark side and it’s not even close. The Abeloth argument isn’t valid, she’s more powerful than the son and the daughter hence it taking both of them to beat her. Luke could take her and you can’t honestly say Anakin in the clone wars could have done the same
Luke isn't on Abeloth's level, though, nor is Abeloth at the level she was operating on during pre-historic times in FOTJ, nor even during her prime was she sufficiently powerful to utterly subdue the Son and Daughter in the same way Anakin did, and infact, we KNOW she wasn't, because she lost/fled from the Father, who Anakin had to the potential to equal or surpass.
@papapalps2415 anakin was only able to do that on mortis force nexus, without it he would needed over 40+ of training like luke Skywalker to reach that much power, and still wouldn't be enough to defeat her abeloth in the EU got more powerful with time
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 Yes, he did indeed do so on Mortis. The problem is, the entire point of the arc is that Anakin is supposes to have the potential power to replace the Father (I.E., become either his equal or surpass him). Note, Anakin. Not Anakin, plus a gargantuan Force nexus. The Father makes this clear repeatedly. And lul no, Abeloth very much did not get stronger over time. She, in actual fact, got vastly weaker, as we know back in the pre-Republic era she was able to assimilate entire planets under her thumb, which we know increases her power.
13:06 hold up, hold up, hold up that text right their clearly states that abeloth was deliberately not trying to pick a fight like right now as the text clearly says “the last thing Abeloth wanted now was to face Luke in a final combat that she just might lose” the fact that Abeloth a force CELESTIAL!!!! even considered that Luke could beat her to the point where she chose to flee kinda leads to the idea that Luke is scales at least to base Abeloth.
I agree with more or less everything stated in this video. Great video by the way. Technically Luke's final fight happens in the novel Crucible, it was kind of lack luster in my opinion, but it did happen in a very wonky kind of way. I guess some may count that time he was a Force Ghost fighting Cade could be considered a fight that happened later. Nitpicking I know but just thought I'd mention it.
Legends Luke’s power is… *OVER 9000!* Was he perfect? No, but he never gave up. He went through trials and tribulations, but in the end he persevered. And because of that he *earned* the title of Grand Master.
"MY DAD IS IN THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, AND WILL GET YOUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD ADDICTED TO CRACK" - Luke Skywalker confronting Jabba The Hutt...Probably
Anakin is stronger than Luke physically probably while Luke is stronger than Anakin in the force but since there's not much I could go for the potential of Anakin so this is what I could say
Luke is a lot stronger than Anakin Skywalker in his strongest form so Unconflicted Darth Vader in rotj , but the full potential Anakin would destroy luke
The true Luke Skywalker is closer to a gray Jedi. His entire character was based on correcting the faults of the Jedi order before him. The Jedi order pretended to hold these high values but they were impossible to keep to and created internal conflicts that bred the dark side, and caused the downfall of the Jedi. The gray Jedi doesn’t make the dark side of the force taboo, but balances it. For every good deed he does, there’s a cruelty he would administer in the name of justice. It’s not about being a good Jedi, he simply reinvented the Jedi order. He could do all of those things and still be good. That’s what made him special
No, Luke isn't a Grey Jedi. His entire arc in the OT is about rejecting the dark side; he wins by refusing to give into his anger and kill Vader. "The gray Jedi doesn’t make the dark side of the force taboo, but balances it." That's not really how the dark side works. The dark side is addictive. When you use it, you just want to use it more and more. "Grey Jedi" who use the dark side but in a balanced way don't really exist. Quinlan Vos tried to do this during the Clone Wars and just ended up doing a bunch of bad things and almost turned to the dark side for real. Luke even tried something similar in the non-canon Dark Empire comic, and ended up learning a similar lesson. The only possible exception seems to be Vapaad users like Mace Windu. "For every good deed he does, there’s a cruelty he would administer in the name of justice." That's ... literally just what Jedi are supposed to do. They're peacekeepers, not pacifists. If people are in danger, a Jedi is supposed to do what is necessary to protect them. Mace Windu was ready to kill Palpatine without trial because he was too dangerous to be kept alive. Yeah, Anakin SAID it's not the Jedi way and all, but what he really cared about was saving Padme. "It’s not about being a good Jedi, he simply reinvented the Jedi order." Sort of, but he didn't do it by becoming a Grey Jedi. The Jedi's policies of banning marriage and the fact that the corruption in the Republic ended up causing them to become overly bureaucratic as shown during TCW were problems, but Luke changing that doesn't mean he's any less of a Jedi.
Luke is the most powerful being in the entirety of star wars. The only thing that can win against a prime Luke is Abeloth. The Mortis gods were subdued by Anakin, so Luke should have no issue with them.
Canon, Luke Skywalker was a massive disappointment compared to the real version of Luke in the original and real canon of Star Wars, called the expanded universe. And if anyone likes the version of Luke Skywalker we got, and those shitty sequels from Disney. They aren’t true. Star Wars fans fight me on it. I refuse to call it Legends. It’s demeaning to the authors of 20 years of material.
I don´t believe a hierarchy of force-users by numbers makes much sense. The abilities, strengths and weaknesses of Jedi and Sith generally lead to a rock-paper-scissors dynamic rather than a clear tier-list. Windu beat Palpatine, Palpatine would arguably beat Dooku, yet Dooku isn´t necessarily going to loose to Windu, with him possessing an unusual amount of control over his dark side (which, in turn, powered Windu´s Vapaad when fighting Palpatine). The same might apply with Abaloth, the Father, Son and Daughter, Anakin and Luke. A feat - no matter how impressive - might completely overpower one opponet yet turn out useless against another.
Windu didn't beat Palpatine, though, nor is it 'arguable' he would beat Dooku, and at least by ROTS, we explictly know Tyranus would lose to Windu, so all of your assumptions are useless.
he hadn't even a proper jedi education to begin with. he became a master in his own ways in the end. that's why later on his apprentices on his academy were even referred as anytthing but padawans, because his academy wasn't traditional and conservative
Are you not counting Cade or his father Kol and the cut short potential of Ben Skywalker when you say "...strongest unamped Jedi in all of galactic history..."?
@@jepa4291 No he was amped by a force nexus in that moment not once was it ever stated that's how strong he would have been, And Luke in legends is stated numerous times to have the same potential as anakin only he reached it and his father failed.
@@michaeutech9201You...do realize that the events of Crucible and what happens between Luke and the brothers is actually one of the biggest arguments against him being on the same level as the god-lites, right...?
Question? Doesn't every factor count whn fighting for your life? So the better fighter the most powerful wins. The factors that get you there are what they are.
You wonder why my generation was happy for so long. I had Superman and Luke Skywalker is my heroes to look up to. Not to mention Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwarzenegger's and Michael Jordan. What a f****** crew!
the problem is mastery means nothing when all others involved are also masters,what does mastery then even mean? i think that force power and combat wisdom and intuition start playing the defining roles even how el you keep youre body trained. a person like palaptine is good with allot of things but not keeping his body in good fit shape,anakin was yet vader was also a wreck in terms of body so the force and cybernetics is what add to his physical strengt yet his biggest asset was anger and the force.
what a great video, and overall just a super professional channel. I’m also trying to make it on RUclips (Cytonox is my main) and just wanted to say from one creator to another absolutely great stuff brother.
@CRISIS_COMICS nah he skipping many feats like luke crucible where he archive true oneness and defeated abeloth true form in her own realm, anakin never archive that level of power
I think Abeloth wasn’t at full power there because Ben had killed her avatar, plus Luke had help from Krayt and she didn’t even really die. Plus Abeloth
@CRISIS_COMICS anakin without his full potential knowledge and skills mastery will lose to abeloth because he could only do what he did to the son and daughter because mortis was was a force nexus that massively amp force users imagine of how powerful grandmaster luke Skywalker would be on mortis with all the knowledge lightsaber skills and abilities he learned and mastered during the years
You are wrong legends Luke Skywalker is the most powerful force user in Star Wars bar the ones yes he makes mistakes but he is ultimately The epitome of a Jedi and the most powerful and wisest Jedi to ever live this is how he is described in legends continuity also you can’t include full potential Anakin because he never got to his full potential
Canon has no Sith that are cannon specific all Cannon has is the Rule of Two Sith which are the exact same in Legends other then Vader and Sidious being slightly different in terms of story but there would be little point
@The Great One don't know who lord Skywalker is, is that Cade Skywalker or do you mean Jacen Solo? As for kyrat and kun, kun was strong for his time but not so much later. As for Kyrat I never read the comics, wish I did but didn't and I refuse to support Disney until kk is gone so I'm waiting off on them.
@The Great One Thanks. As for Krayt, almost forgot about him, well did forget his name. Legacy of the force series was such a mess and I kinda wiped it from my memory; thought he was the sith from Cade Skywalker's comics. But yeah thanks for shaking my memory, given Krayt was stated numerous times to be almost as powerful as GM Luke, who was stronger than Darth Jacen (his sith name is stupid and hard to spell) whom was stated to be stronger or equal to palps who is stated to be strong than all previous sith which included Vitiate even if Vitiate hadn't been written yet, yep that would make Krayt the strongest.

So just 2 questions about abeloth, 1-in the scan that states that abeloth is weaker than the celestials at 11:33, isn’t that referring to before abeloth turned into a monster? because it immediately talks about abeloth becoming corrupted after stating she was less powerful, meaning her corruption could have elevated her above the celestials since she was corrupted trying to become more powerful. 2-wouldn’t the fact that it takes both the son and the daughter to imprison her mean that at the least she’s stronger than them individually?
She is stated to have the same power as the father, idk about the son and daughter
@@acactus2190She isn't, no. She is explictly weaker than the Father.
The Father was also involved in sealing her away, so you'd have to argue she's strong than The Father , which she isn't
I've always loved Luke, first saw Star Wars at 11, so of course he became a hero. Yet over time he needed to be the hero, just like Vader/Anakin needed to always be the villain. Doing back flips to make vader good or making Luke bad is going against the idea of the story.
Nice to know how badly Disney butchered him from a great character with deep lore to a weak old man cowering on an island
Disney killed the Source Material, give turning Luke into THE Opposite of what George/Legends Depicted him, & gave that title to Rey Pal..Skywalker
It’s absolutely sinful what they did. Like most Star Wars fans don’t consider it Canon because it’s so fundamentally backwards. If all the Jedi that have ever existed Luke Skywalker is the least likely to have ignited his lightsaber whilst standing over his nephew. It would have NEVER happened. It’s the absolute opposite of everything Luke Skywalker is.
The absolute opposite, words cannot describe how immeasurably wrong they got Luke Skywalker. I don’t think there has ever been such a catastrophically incorrect decision in all of film making history. Fans literally do not accept those films as Canon because of that decision. Mark Hamill himself had to save us all from it by calling him Jake Skywalker. It’s an unforgivable offence to do what they did.
Kathleen Kennedy shows her true colors in the "sequel trilogy" - GIVING Rey EVERYTHING that was Luke's, INCLUDING HIS NAME, without her having to EARN any of it. All the power and accolades of the man without any of the work or accountability. Yep, sounds like feminism alright.
Great video! I love the Legends, Loop Skywalker, I would love to of had this version of him in movies instead of what we got in Disney, however, this version of Luke and Legends is my true cannon what happened after return of the Jedi.
Sound and solid points with great support for your position. I didn't really like Luke growing up. I got started on the prequels, so in my mind, a Jedi had to work for decades and train endlessly to be successful. Yes we know Luke is a force abberation but so was Anakin, and he had to train for a decade... I always felt like Luke was a bit of a Mary Sue. It took a long time for me to accept and appreciate Luke's power, I just hated how quickly it came to him. A couple months on Dagobah, year or two in isolation. Like Luke versus Maul, in my headcannon, that's Maul all day. But we know that's an absolute impossibility, and Luke is way ahead of him, like realistically could probably have beat him one on one without ever have seeing a sith, which is kinda crazy.
I still feel ANAKIN is the strongest / had the highest level potential (Lv 120?) where as Luke was probably Lv 110 which is still God Tier but damn. Luke more powerful than all of the jedi council with just some self-reflection and a couple quick (albeit super focused) years of training never did sit right with me. Before all this disney star wars stuff, I used to ignore EU tbh. Now I view EU as cannon and got pissed watching disney Luke be a weak wimp. Lol. Ironic.
(edit: spelling)
Luke is #1 Master of carrying a back pack while he runs.
I love this channel because its always talking about my favorite character: luke skywalker, both spider-men, and nightwing. Lol make videos about zuko and invincible too.
Lukes arc is imo one of the best
Youd have to theorize what Lukes full potential amp would be on Mortis too, because its probably almost identical to mortis Anakin. We're comparing amped Anakin to GM base Luke
Wasn’t entirely sure on the music you played when moving to the different sections but the feats and explanations of the scaling like with Abeloth were peak as usual. Keep it up.
I 100% agree with you on his heroism scale. He’s definitely not perfect and that’s what makes him one of my favorites him and anikan are very similar in that sense
This makes it more complicated than it needs to be. Abeloths power grows with the fear and anguish she's able to feed off of. So her power scales depending on that. This is why she fears Luke. Hes the shining light to her darkness. She was imprisoned, but she was never able to be defeated by the son and daughter to the level that Luke and Krayt achieved. She is definitely more powerful than him by his own thoughts. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been able to bring balance to the son and daughter. That never got explored so we just don't know.
Also George stated that Luke was the most powerful Jedi to have ever existed. That includes Anakin. Potential, with anakin being the chosen one, never turned into reality with his limitations. I feel like Luke's final legends form is what anakin could have been if he had been emotionally stable. On the other hand, being the chosen one could have been just a power to keep balance between the son and daughter. Not necessarily being the most powerful jedi.
These videos are fun tho.
Lucas never stated that, no.
i really appreciate these videos, thanks crisis
The answer to that question is....
HELL YEAH!
He was, until Disney got their grubby hands all over the Star Wars IP
I was getting ready to point out that Luke wasn't at his full power when he faced Abeloth and she knew she couldn't defeat him further down the road lol. So I'm glad you added that in there
In the book "Shadows of the Empire" it says that Vader knew almost immediately when they started their fight that he couldn't beat Luke. That was before Luke succumbed to his anger. So even if Luke hadn't got pissed off he would've beaten Vader
People don't understand how powerful the force sever technique is it can completely destroy the midchronian on a person's body, exar kun tanked this technique in a massive escalate perform by over 2000 jedis creating a wall of light in the entire yavin4 moons 🌙 exar kun survived this the jedi couldn't kill him because he was too strong and wish to become a god, the jedi academy omnibus guide say exar kun was a threat to the entire universe.
Without midchronians you die the force sever destroy anything darkseid related and it doesnt take away your ability to use it but feel it
@dx_n3774 than why ulic couldn't use use the force again? The force server ability destroy midchronian cells
@alsimmonshellspawn6021 no it does not. Other why, you would die what it does is essentially make you unable to use midchronian but the effects can be reversed
Fodder to Sidious
@@GenZratatouille 🤡 exar kun has feats and scaling compared to emperor papaltine reborn
Great video and the depth you go into Luke Skywalker is incredible. I can see why you never talked about oneness with the force.
His knowledge of the eu is limited
I never really got that Anakin was over powering the ones I thought it was him controlling them via being the chosen one not a feat of power but an ability inherent to his status. Otherwise I feel the scaling makes no sense
exactly what it was
He wasn't the Father yet so controlling them doesn't really make sense , especially when the Father explicitly told him to use the power of Mortis
Luke could do the same thing if he was in mortis
Also crucible amp probably puts him around celestial levels of power.
Anakins domination of son n daughter was inside mortis. A force nexus that's explicitly described to enhance force powers, which allowed qui gon to fully manifest there b4 his training of this trick was done. I see this feat of anakin as a scaling crutch over n over with everybody completely ignoring that fact.
Also it was done, not to test anakin's strength, but his character. Therefore it is not at all clear if the son n daughter were even really trying to resist.
It was a test to reveal if he would faulter, pick one of his companions over the other or try to help both no matter what.
I loved to see ur deconstruction of the go to bit as a "proof" of abeloths superiority over the ones.
I think, that scene of anakin is a similar kinda problem, where ppl are rush to conclusion by using a scene at surface value without any concideration of context.
While Anakin was undeniably amped by Mortis, it's patently intellectually dishonest to try to pretend like as if the entire point of most of the arc is moot because of that, which is that Anakin is, flat out, meant to be a replacement for the Father in keeping the two in line. That includes them possibly escaping, as well, which we know they have done before. The obvious intention of the arc is that Anakin has Father-level potential. You can try to backflip and handwave your way past it all you want, it's a brick wall you are always going to need to deal with; Anakin, per the Mortis arc, is supposed to be able to equal or exceed the Father, the strongest individual character in the franchise. Luke, by contrast, is simply not on that level. He just isn't. FotJ and Crucible make it very, very clear that Luke isn't on the level of the Anchorites or other god-level people.
@@papapalps2415 he is meant to do so THERE, so it's not at all implied by the task, that hhe would ever gain the ability to do it outside mortis.
The only possible counterpoint is that we also don't know how much of their access to the force the ones would keep outside.
That point is just as unclear.
In their current form during the arc they never were elsewhere, far away of any force nexus.
But even if they were celetials, those were technicly advanced but still a mortal species b4 transcending.
The ones actually seem to have been normal people once.
I just can't stand how this particular feat of anakin is used again n again as scaling point for his power of any state he was in b4 his death.
It's not about how could he perhaps b in some future, but how was he azt a specific point in time.
The mortis arc was ended with a questionmark about how real it was.
It doesn't becomes meaningless but more as source for insight n learning like any vision.
@@phorz85No ones saying Anakin can do what he did on Mortis without being on Mortis , the Father MADE Mostis so Anakin at Full potential could equal his power , but he never reached it so it's pointless to say he's anywhere close to that.
The Ones are literally stated to be Concepts so I don't think they can age , you should know how Anakin became the guy with the highest Midochlorian count in history, it's cuz of Sidious and Plagus
Good video crisis, big ups
But Can he beat Obi Wan in the High Ground
0:05 I know that Luke is Anakin/Vader's son, but heir? Nope, Darth Caedus fits that title more than Luke, in my opinion, even though Luke still nearly beat him in Legacy of The Force. Luke can at least be his son, but not heir.
Caedus full potential is fodder compared to Luke's full potential
Really good video, subscribed! 👍
Gen x... We used to literally paint broomsticks and run around in the woods like they were lightsabers... We would fight over the blue one
Dude grandmaster Luke is so much more powerful than Anakin at his peak before turning to the dark side and it’s not even close. The Abeloth argument isn’t valid, she’s more powerful than the son and the daughter hence it taking both of them to beat her. Luke could take her and you can’t honestly say Anakin in the clone wars could have done the same
Luke isn't on Abeloth's level, though, nor is Abeloth at the level she was operating on during pre-historic times in FOTJ, nor even during her prime was she sufficiently powerful to utterly subdue the Son and Daughter in the same way Anakin did, and infact, we KNOW she wasn't, because she lost/fled from the Father, who Anakin had to the potential to equal or surpass.
@papapalps2415 anakin was only able to do that on mortis force nexus, without it he would needed over 40+ of training like luke Skywalker to reach that much power, and still wouldn't be enough to defeat her abeloth in the EU got more powerful with time
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 Yes, he did indeed do so on Mortis. The problem is, the entire point of the arc is that Anakin is supposes to have the potential power to replace the Father (I.E., become either his equal or surpass him). Note, Anakin. Not Anakin, plus a gargantuan Force nexus. The Father makes this clear repeatedly.
And lul no, Abeloth very much did not get stronger over time. She, in actual fact, got vastly weaker, as we know back in the pre-Republic era she was able to assimilate entire planets under her thumb, which we know increases her power.
13:06 hold up, hold up, hold up that text right their clearly states that abeloth was deliberately not trying to pick a fight like right now as the text clearly says “the last thing Abeloth wanted now was to face Luke in a final combat that she just might lose” the fact that Abeloth a force CELESTIAL!!!! even considered that Luke could beat her to the point where she chose to flee kinda leads to the idea that Luke is scales at least to base Abeloth.
I agree with more or less everything stated in this video. Great video by the way. Technically Luke's final fight happens in the novel Crucible, it was kind of lack luster in my opinion, but it did happen in a very wonky kind of way. I guess some may count that time he was a Force Ghost fighting Cade could be considered a fight that happened later. Nitpicking I know but just thought I'd mention it.
How interesting of a character is Darth Krayt. Is he worth making a video about him?
Krayt's a beast lowkey,I love him,And i usually don't like villians
The Goat.
Legends Luke’s power is…
*OVER 9000!*
Was he perfect? No, but he never gave up. He went through trials and tribulations, but in the end he persevered. And because of that he *earned* the title of Grand Master.

So Luke is stronger than Anakin but not as strong as Anakin?
Anakin is stronger than Luke physically probably while Luke is stronger than Anakin in the force but since there's not much I could go for the potential of Anakin so this is what I could say
Luke is a lot stronger than Anakin Skywalker in his strongest form so Unconflicted Darth Vader in rotj , but the full potential Anakin would destroy luke
Anakin skywalker in his strongest form was in mortis he destroys Luke
@@bhanupriyainampudi6852nah legends luke would destroy him
The true Luke Skywalker is closer to a gray Jedi. His entire character was based on correcting the faults of the Jedi order before him. The Jedi order pretended to hold these high values but they were impossible to keep to and created internal conflicts that bred the dark side, and caused the downfall of the Jedi. The gray Jedi doesn’t make the dark side of the force taboo, but balances it. For every good deed he does, there’s a cruelty he would administer in the name of justice. It’s not about being a good Jedi, he simply reinvented the Jedi order. He could do all of those things and still be good. That’s what made him special
No, Luke isn't a Grey Jedi. His entire arc in the OT is about rejecting the dark side; he wins by refusing to give into his anger and kill Vader.
"The gray Jedi doesn’t make the dark side of the force taboo, but balances it." That's not really how the dark side works. The dark side is addictive. When you use it, you just want to use it more and more. "Grey Jedi" who use the dark side but in a balanced way don't really exist. Quinlan Vos tried to do this during the Clone Wars and just ended up doing a bunch of bad things and almost turned to the dark side for real. Luke even tried something similar in the non-canon Dark Empire comic, and ended up learning a similar lesson. The only possible exception seems to be Vapaad users like Mace Windu.
"For every good deed he does, there’s a cruelty he would administer in the name of justice." That's ... literally just what Jedi are supposed to do. They're peacekeepers, not pacifists. If people are in danger, a Jedi is supposed to do what is necessary to protect them. Mace Windu was ready to kill Palpatine without trial because he was too dangerous to be kept alive. Yeah, Anakin SAID it's not the Jedi way and all, but what he really cared about was saving Padme.
"It’s not about being a good Jedi, he simply reinvented the Jedi order." Sort of, but he didn't do it by becoming a Grey Jedi. The Jedi's policies of banning marriage and the fact that the corruption in the Republic ended up causing them to become overly bureaucratic as shown during TCW were problems, but Luke changing that doesn't mean he's any less of a Jedi.
Thank you great video it helped me on the toilet
Luke is the most powerful being in the entirety of star wars. The only thing that can win against a prime Luke is Abeloth. The Mortis gods were subdued by Anakin, so Luke should have no issue with them.
no he isn't, he can't hold a candle to the high tiers.

Canon, Luke Skywalker was a massive disappointment compared to the real version of Luke in the original and real canon of Star Wars, called the expanded universe. And if anyone likes the version of Luke Skywalker we got, and those shitty sequels from Disney. They aren’t true. Star Wars fans fight me on it. I refuse to call it Legends. It’s demeaning to the authors of 20 years of material.
I don´t believe a hierarchy of force-users by numbers makes much sense. The abilities, strengths and weaknesses of Jedi and Sith generally lead to a rock-paper-scissors dynamic rather than a clear tier-list. Windu beat Palpatine, Palpatine would arguably beat Dooku, yet Dooku isn´t necessarily going to loose to Windu, with him possessing an unusual amount of control over his dark side (which, in turn, powered Windu´s Vapaad when fighting Palpatine). The same might apply with Abaloth, the Father, Son and Daughter, Anakin and Luke. A feat - no matter how impressive - might completely overpower one opponet yet turn out useless against another.
Windu didn't beat Palpatine, though, nor is it 'arguable' he would beat Dooku, and at least by ROTS, we explictly know Tyranus would lose to Windu, so all of your assumptions are useless.
@@papapalps2415 Nope.
@@MOVlNG_PICTURES I will accept your concession with grace and understanding.
EU Luke is space Jesus. He literally performs what other force users consider miracles
he hadn't even a proper jedi education to begin with. he became a master in his own ways in the end. that's why later on his apprentices on his academy were even referred as anytthing but padawans, because his academy wasn't traditional and conservative
Are you not counting Cade or his father Kol and the cut short potential of Ben Skywalker when you say "...strongest unamped Jedi in all of galactic history..."?
Why would they be counted....?

You wonder why my generation was happy for so long. I had Superman and Luke Skywalker is my heroes to look up to. Not to mention Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwarzenegger's and Michael Jordan. What a f****** crew!
the problem is mastery means nothing when all others involved are also masters,what does mastery then even mean? i think that force power and combat wisdom and intuition start playing the defining roles even how el you keep youre body trained.
a person like palaptine is good with allot of things but not keeping his body in good fit shape,anakin was yet vader was also a wreck in terms of body so the force and cybernetics is what add to his physical strengt yet his biggest asset was anger and the force.
Yeah boi, I can't wait!

yes he does

I think Abeloth wasn’t at full power there because Ben had killed her avatar, plus Luke had help from Krayt and she didn’t even really die. Plus Abeloth
@CRISIS_COMICS anakin without his full potential knowledge and skills mastery will lose to abeloth because he could only do what he did to the son and daughter because mortis was was a force nexus that massively amp force users imagine of how powerful grandmaster luke Skywalker would be on mortis with all the knowledge lightsaber skills and abilities he learned and mastered during the years

To try and argue that Grandmaster Luke is not as powerful as Anakin was in season 3 of clone wars is literal insanity.
Luke in legends was the most powerful force user from the jedi/sith ever
Anakin at that point is an ant compared to his son .
This just gets ridiculous. When do these people get the time to master all of these arts and powers?
He’s not the most powerful but he’s almost there honestly
To be fair Vader was conflicted when they fought in ROTJ. I am sure a non conflicted Vader would have put a beating on his son.
You are wrong legends Luke Skywalker is the most powerful force user in Star Wars bar the ones yes he makes mistakes but he is ultimately The epitome of a Jedi and the most powerful and wisest Jedi to ever live this is how he is described in legends continuity also you can’t include full potential Anakin because he never got to his full potential
not gonna matter soon by the looks of everything. Everyones gonna be a rey if shown long enough
Luke is a very very grey Jedi
You should do a video on Mace next.

@The Great One Thanks. As for Krayt, almost forgot about him, well did forget his name. Legacy of the force series was such a mess and I kinda wiped it from my memory; thought he was the sith from Cade Skywalker's comics. But yeah thanks for shaking my memory, given Krayt was stated numerous times to be almost as powerful as GM Luke, who was stronger than Darth Jacen (his sith name is stupid and hard to spell) whom was stated to be stronger or equal to palps who is stated to be strong than all previous sith which included Vitiate even if Vitiate hadn't been written yet, yep that would make Krayt the strongest.
