Luke was movin really fast in Episode six when the fleet was losing to the TIE

This is a lot more fair of a fight, but I think Anakin would end up winning this one by a singed hair or two.

This is very close but I would say Anakin

extremely close, I bet someone would lose the right hand though...

Of course
it wouldn't be a lightsaber duel if nobody loses a hand

I love how the Skywalkers are whiny sissies in the first two episodes, lose a hand, then in the third film they become mega badasses.

well said

I always thought that was odd

A better match-up, but i still think Anakin will take this one from his son. He has more experience, and had more formal training.

no way. i would say vader was far more powerful than AOTC Anakin considering Dooku beat him and Vader could surely take down Dooku. And we all saw that Luke beat Vader so i would definitely say Luke.

Good match but it is so obvious that Anakin wins this.

I suppose ROTJ Luke is more powerful than AOTC Anakin, but who has more skill?
I'll stick with Anakin for now

Anakin would own his son. It's really about length of combat training. At least Anakin was a padawan for what? Ten years. Luke barely pulled off the escape from Jabba's palace. Don't get me wrong, I respect and like Luke a lot. But he is still a child at this point.

That's true, but as Darth Revan 33 said, he was fighting a much more powerful version of Anakin and he was able to win. So Luke could win, but it would be incredibly harder for him and he would likely turn to the darkside in doing so.

Luke did NOT fight a much more powerful version of Anakin, I don't think at all. Vader was barely human. AOTC Anakin was much more capable of defeating Luke.

Darth Vader from the OT is more powerful than padawan Anakin in AOTC. He's trained longer, has the darkside(which is more powerful) and he was more level headed.

Hm. Alright, I buy that. Maybe not as showy a fighter than AOTC Anakin, but I can believe he's more powerful with the Force, and especially the dark side.

We're kind of agreeing!

I blame the food here.

It's that blue milk I drank

Uh... that wasn't milk...

*chokes and coughs rapidly*

I think Anakin would've taken Luke out, but you'd have to ignore the fact that they're family. Or at least they would. Or it'd probably go like it did in ROTJ..

A reason I think Vader and Luke's battles weren't as fast paced and all that skillful LOOKING, is because they were both trying to turn each other, and/or maim. But that's mostly due to the blood ties, so they'd have to ignore that to take each other out..

Yeah, I've always argued Vader didn't want to kill Luke, and Luke didn't want to kill Vader.

When Luke tapped into the dark side, it certainly didn't look like he didn't want to kill Vader. But at least he managed to regain control of himself after realizing what he had done.

Dude, getting angry doesn't mean he tapped into the darkside. IMHO
But either way, you're right, Luke has much more control than Anakin does when it comes to rage.

I dont know...????...it would be really close...I mean, Obi wan trained them both....Ohhhh, this one's tough....<think>...Luke Skywalker, because he was more in control mentally and Obi Wan was able to fix some mistakes he had made with Anakin.

Getting angry is tapping into the darkside, at least for a Jedi. It goes against everything that they're taught. Maybe it isn't truely "tapping into the darkside" though, maybe it just led to the darkside. Either way, completely un-Jedi-like..

I agree it's very un Jedi like, but I just don't think you can tap into it. Once you use it, it will take over like a parasite does.

I think we are looking at it different ways. By meaning "tap", I'm just saying that he used a bit of dark side power, for instance, using your anger and aggression to attack. But you're not at the point where your anger and aggression will TOTALLY control you.

It still a path to the Darkside, IMO, and completely against Jedi teachings.

Well I agree with what you're saying, especially since Mace Windu's vaapad system has a lot to do with channeling both sides of the force.

Ok, even IF Anakin was somehow stronger than Luke, Luke would still probably win due to his level headedness. AOTC Anakin was very arrogant, thinking that he was as good as Yoda. But I still think ROTJ Luke is far more powerful than AOTC Anakin.

Exactly. level heads usually win

I change my vote. Luke would win. green always beats blue atleast on the food chain.

Luke is just to cool. I think he's stronger tapped in with the force in rotj even though Anakin had more training. Luke seems more calm and whatnot.

and Luke affinity with the force rivals Anakin's, afterall he only trained for like a total of three months.

I agree Luke can take it from his dad. But it would indeed by a super close fight.

I saw Obi Wan scolds them both and sends them scurrying.

Well, of course, it's Oni-Wan the master of luck/resourcefulness/level headedness

And the man. Don't forget that, too.

HAHAAHAAHAH

WHO SAID LUKE??

How could some random FARM BOY whos had like what? 2/3 years of Jedi Training beat Anakin?? Some of you people are so Stupid, You think Lukes Better becos He Beat Vader and hes special, Just think about Force powers and Lightsabre Skill.

Luke could BARLY hold up 3CPO off the ground while he was in his chair and your saying that Lukes better??? haahhhaa

I hope for the sake of your family at home that you don't talk anything like you post.

Luke barely held C-3PO? It only looks that way because they didn't have Cg to work with you know. It was a little harder to do that on camera in the 80's man.
Besides, Luke could win because Anakin rushes into things without thinking, while Luke has learned much in a short time.

Rushing in doesnt Mean anything, its about force, Anakin has the highest forcepower in the whole of the Jedi, He could kick Lukes ass.

I think Luke will be won, because he was defeated Vader and Vader such more powerful against Anakin in skills and power.

AS episode 3 proves, you can have all the power in the universe(Anakin) but if you aren't level headed and experienced (Obi-Wan) you'll lose

Agreed, that's why I always thought Yoda or Mace has the chance of defeating ROTS Anakin.

I think they're even

Well, I don't think Yoda or MAce could do it, because they didn't know Anakin or his weaknesses like Obi-Wan

but they do know that Anakin lacks level-headedness though and can probably try to make him lose concentration. I dunno, it's hard to say.

Well, Mace does lose his arm courtesy of Anakin (spoilers I read) and Yoda has always been somewhat fearful of Anakin (with good reason). I guess I might like Obi-Wan too much, but he knows all of Anakin's weaknesses since he trained him.

The reason why I argue Yoda or Mace can defeat ROTS Anakin is because Obi-Wan always reports his missions with Anakin to the two Jedi Masters. In one of the deleted scenes in AOTC, Obi-Wan clearly stated that he regretted training Anakin and should have done as the council suggested during TPM due to Anakin's many problems. Yoda and Mace definitely know of Anakin's weaknesses, like his arrogance, overconfidence, lack of self-control, lack of focus etc. Yoda or Mace pulling off a victory against Anakin certainly won't be easy, and the odds are definitely weighing against them, but I still think they can do it.

Dude no offense but Lukes like the gayest character ever, whats his form of combat, Baseball bat form???I mean the lighsaber fights r boring in the old ones becuz all Luke Does Is Aim and Pray.

starwarsluke sucks anni pwns

Luke seems physically stronger than Anakin.

I ask this question, is their any proof that Vader was stronger than Anakin?

He lifted a grown man into the air.
Also, read any EU regarding Vader's physical strength.

What I meant was as a duelist, not just physically.

Well he mastered a blend of Makashi, Soresu and Schien to the highest degree. This meant that there were many great aspects to the way he dueled. Offensively, he had precision, physically strong saber strikes and quick overwhelming lightsaber strikes. Defensively, he was great (due to Soresu) and he was able to preserve his energy (due to Makashi). His Schien mastery also meant that he was able to effectively channel defence into attack through classic manoeuvres.

Dude... some serious Necromancy here...
