I don't think he could do it. A jedi is the lord and master of his own body. They have complete control of every aspect of it. This is how they eject poisons, disease and objects from their body. And to take control of the lightsaber, he'd still need to outwill Luke. You guys don't even begin to fathom how powerful Luke is later on. He doesn't even need to hold the saber at all. He can wield and direct it with the power of the force alone. Like that other guy was saying, EXAR KUN was a Sith powerful enough to destroy a planet, and noone, Sith or Jedi, is even remotely close to Luke.

Is that why Lucas said they weren't canon? Right? RIGHT?Look at the prequel stuff that came out before Episode 1-3, a lot of that was wrong/off.
Oh, so they must not be Canon either huh?
Show proof.
"'Gospel,' or canon as we refer to it, includes the screenplays, the films, the radio dramas and the novelisations."
right off your own site.
Or from Star Wars.com
"The galaxy far, far away doesn't end with the movies. The adventures continues in books, television and more... " then you click the link and it takes you to the novels, cartoon, and comic series....
And the site has this at the bottom.

Exar Kun could destroy planets with the Force. Not kidding. Granted, he was Sith, so if its only Jedi he doesn't count. But thousands of Jedi banded together to take out Kun. They'd do the same to Magneto. Since the thread is non-specific, I'd assume we're talking about all Jedi from the Old and New Republics...no 'just movie Jedi' crap.And no, an X-Wing isn't a problem...just in the movies (not say anything of other past incidents) we have Yoda hurling Senate pods around with the Emperor like they're in a pinball machine. The slow X-Wing movement was just for show.
And not all lightsabers have metal. Sure, most do, but it's specific to the Jedi. One had a bone handle on her l-saber, and they aren't limited to just metal.
I understand what you're saying about the lightsaber handles, but you seem to forget that they have electrical components and circuitry inside, no matter if it has a bone handle or not. Anything metal/metallic in those lightsabers at all and Magneto has complete control over them. And I've seen what lightsabers are made of, so I know that somewhere in there, even if the outside is covered in plastic, that there will be more than enough metallic substance for him to control.
Just wanted to point that out. I'm not sure who wins yet.
SW threads always end up like this, because either the Force is given too much credit or too little.
Luke and Vader would lose. Even later in the books, Luke is hardly a god, and there's plenty of younger Jedi that would whup him heads-up (Kyp Durron and even the recent Jacen Solo pop to mind immediately). Magneto has a lot more practice doing crazy-powerful-killing stuff than Luke or Vader has crushing the skulls of people as powerful as Magneto.
That said, a large contingent of Jedi (with or without lightsabers) would crush Mags. The combined Force might would simply destroy him, and even trying to take away their l-sabers might not work because it would be Mags control over magnetic stuff vs. the Jedis' telekinesis, which can be quite powerful. He might get one or two lightsabers, but a dozen or so Jedi would be too much. And reversity polarity of the planet would take time and concentration...he won't just snap his fingers and make it happen.

The Solo kid died recently, and Luke had to return to save everyone again. Monsters that couldn't be sensed by the Force...Luke is documented over and over and over again in the series as BY FAR the strongest of the Jedi, new or old. He's the SUPREME.
Oh, and the books are continuity. Nothing was written about Episodes 1-3 until the recent movies so none of it contradicts with the films. Texts concerning the Old Republic (thousands of years before anything in the movies) and the continuation of the series (with Luke/Leia's kids, Thrawn, etc.) all the way to the recent war with the Yuzhan Vong (sic?) is considered canonical material.
magneto's shield could hold off the combined force crush long enough for him to send all of their lightsaber's swirling through the crowd of jedi, killing them all. and that's just one way to win.
you guys do know that it doesn't have to be ferrous for magneto to control it, right?
and digimark, NJO luke versus durron and solo would be a better match if he was fighting them both at once. otherwise i doubt it would be much of a sweat for luke.
