Most powerful Jedi in history

I hope so too. I think it'd be cool to see Anakin's potential fulfilled through Luke.

FreshestSlice
I'd be complete idiocy to make Luke more powerful than the demi-god, tbh. Very powerful to be sure, but not THAT powerful.

DarthAnt66
Inferior to Palpatine and Snoke.

playa1258
With the same potential Anakin had, he should be superior to Palpatine.

DarthAnt66
I doubt he does in canon.

playa1258
We will see

I hope not lol. Do you think Snoke will be > or < Palpatine?

I could see that. I think it might be that Snoke>Luke>Palp. If Luke is more powerful than snoke it wouldn't really make any sense because then he could just go fight him and it would be over, lol. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Snoke will be inferior to Palpatine, definitely.

Palpatine is the end-all, be-all Sith Lord of Star Wars.

The whole "bad guy must be more powerful" trope.

At the beginning, maybe not by the end...

Palpatine is the end-all, be-all Sith Lord of Star Wars. Do not doubt Snoke. You should embrace the idea of someone being greater than Palpatine. He used to be my Star Wars fave but I couldn't stomach his cowardice and jackassery a moment longer.

ROTS has been out for a decade lmao. What exactly changed your mind?

Dooku level.

Really? Why do you say that? I think he'll at least be at Yoda's level.

They're not going to have Luke be too overpowered and Dooku's feats seem reasonable for what they'll allow a movie Luke to do.

I can agree with that, I think he'll still be above Dooku's level though.

Trocity
Above Dooku/Vader, below Palpatine/Yoda, imo.

Beniboybling
If they are true to Lucas' intentions he should be above Palpatine. But who knows.

FreshestSlice
Yeah, they really shouldn't make Luke weaker than Vader either.

Beniboybling
Also according to the StarWars Databank Luke is already:

"one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known"

By ROTJ, so I imagine he's extremely powerful at this stage if he's already up there with Dooku, Anakin, Windu etc.

Darth Thor
He should be greater than Yoda. As in the most powerful Jedi ever.

And Lol at the notion that he can't beat the big villain just because he's the big villain.

Yoda beat Dooku in AOTC and Windu beat Palpatine in ROTS. Doesn't mean the villains won't still get away and rule the Galaxy even.

playa1258
People are not factoring in that Luke has the same potential as his father. He should be way above Yoda.

Might not be same potential as Anakin. But certainly more potential than Yoda or Palpatine.

One factor that could hinder him a bit though is that there are no other Jedi around. So he has to take his mastery to the next level on his own.

Yoda beat Dooku in AOTC and Windu beat Palpatine in ROTS. Doesn't mean the villains won't still get away and rule the Galaxy even. Honestly the all-powerful Emperor trope is getting old, I'm expecting Snoke to be more reliant on smarts than the Force.

DarthAnt66
Dude you lost to ****ing Zoltan don't post here kek no trash allowed.

Trying a little too hard now Ant.

Yoda beat Dooku in AOTC and Windu beat Palpatine in ROTS. Doesn't mean the villains won't still get away and rule the Galaxy even. It undermines the villains when Jedi beat them in single, fair combat. Dooku was not the big bad.

Windu beating Palpatine undermined him. If Palpatine was overwhelmed because they had an unfair advantage that's one thing but the most powerful Sith shouldn't be seen begging for his life and at Windu's mercy IMO. You like a sniveling coward as the big bad but I don't tend to like that.

More than powerful enough to beat Khan.

I'm sure the Khan threads begging for my attention after episode 7 hits will be in full force.

Abrams has a very different view of OT force wielders than the people on this forum. He views them as unpracticed, clunky and deficient. So I don't expect too much out of Luke, Kylo or ANYBODY. The mere fact that Finn, a non-force wielder, is able to give Kylo Ren a hard time (per the leaked synopsis) in their duel is indicative of nobody being worth much.

Huh? I thought he said almost the opposite. That it's the OT duelists who he thinks were good.

Dark-Kenshin
I was mistaken. He doesn't quite call them unpracticed or deficient.



Still, the words primitive and rough make me wonder. confused

Emperordmb
I think it's more a grittier vs flashier type thing rather than a skill comparison.

:/....It better not be. I really, REALLY hope Star Wars isn't gonna turn lightsabers into a generic blade.

I use the term generic in the sense that, anyone could just pick it up and start fighting with it. NO!

What I liked about the lightsaber, was that it was a Force User only weapon and it was completely different than a regular blade that it needed specific fighting and requirements to fully utilize it's effectiveness.

Otherwise...if they make it just like a regular blade that can cut through stuff...that's really disappointing and cheap.

The word "Powerful" is what caught my eye.

Finn damn well better be Force Sensitive to make a "heartstopping duel."

playa1258
I hope so.

quanchi112
You guys shouldn't worry at all. Abrams will deliver.
