Look, this question is very simple to answer !!! Anakin was born from the Force and when it comes to raw power, no one can match him !!! Luke was a danger to the Sith, not because he was more powerful, because he could have been killed by Vader in ESB and Vader could have again slaughtered him when he had him captive as for the Emperor, he was cooking up Luke pretty well, and if you recall Luke was pleading for his father to help him !!!! The reason that Luke "beat" Vader, was because Vader was in conflict with himself and didn't want to kill Luke ! Watch ROTJ again and see what Luke tells Vader on more than one occasion !!! The reason Luke is a threat is that he brought out the good that was left in Anakin, allowing Anakin to fulfill his prophecy, destroying the Emperor !!! Luke also remained a Jedi to the very end, refusing to give in to the Dark Side like his father did, showing that he did have a greater strength of character than Anakin, which of course helped Vader see the error of his ways ! Episode 3 will give us the final explanations and show us Anakin/Vader's true power and why he obeys the Emperor !!!
I think Vader is always the strongest one...I think what the Emperor is worried about is the fact that Anakin's tract record for doing things based on "love" and "emotions" has always been his downfall...Therefore Luke all of a sudden showing up could bring them down just on the basis that Anakin is impressionable and always has been and if anyone could flip him back and ruin the Empire would be the son of Vader...The "new hope" ...All concocted in the minds of Obi and yoda...What a good plan...

Simple? THat long explanation? 😆
And I doubt we'll get the explanations, pal. I think GL will leave that for us to debate endlessly during the years to come on forums. Good to know we'll have a purpose after May 2005.
I do have to apologize for the misunderstanding caused by my using so many exclamations !!! It's just my style of writing !!! I'm also fed up of people still thinking that Luke is more powerful than Vader, people have even thought (on other threads/forums) that Luke is the Chosen One !!! I'm just saying that the movies explain quite nicely why/how certain things occured !!! And like I said, Episode 3 will give us the final explanations and show us Anakin/Vader's true power and why he obeys the Emperor !!!
Re: So Anakin is the chosen one huh?

If this needs to be moved by all means move it. Wasnt completely sure where to put it.Up till now we have been told that Anakin is the chosen one, and that his midi count is off the charts. BUT, in ESB and ROTJ Palp makes reference to the fact that Luke has the power to destroy both of them.
This got me to wondering.
Is Anakin the more powerful than his son? Would Luke's midi count be higher than Anakins? And for that matter is either Anakin or Luke more powerful than Sideous?
