I don't know, I think Luke might be able to take this. I consider Mech Vader to be stronger than AOTC Anakin and Luke held his own against Vader really well. Yeah he lost, but he could still compete with him. Look at when Anakin loses his arm, after that he lays there on the ground for a long time. Luke loses his hand, and keeps going. Granted that's less to lose, but it didn't hurt him nearly as much as Anakin's did.I would have to say ESB Luke too, partially because of how stupid Anakin is.
You do come off to me as being waaay too much in Luke's corner in most debates, and you overestimate his talents a lot.
Mech Vader may have more knowledge and durability than hsi younger counterpart, but he would not beat AOTC Anakin straight out for reasons repeated MANY times. And saying ESB Luke could compete with Vader was ridiculous. Vader wasn't ever trying to kill Luke. The one time he lost his temper and struck out off went Luke's hand, in one quick move!
And comparing how long Anakin laid on the ground compared ot how long Luke did is silly when you consider the situations for both:
- AOTC Anakin had just fought a much more heated battle than Luke had. He was shocked by Force lightning, knocked into a wall, and then had his arm severed off at the elbow and Force shoved again into a wall.
- Luke was battered a bit from flying objects and then when he snapped a hit on Vader got his hand lopped off. He fell back on his own, and edged backwards on the ledge. He was looking pretty worn to me.
And saying Anakin is so stupid he would lose to Luke is you severely underestimating Anakin. Take a look at what Anakin did just in AOTC alone. You honestly think Luke would have had the wits, intelligence, and skill to pull half of that off? If you do, you're dying in a lake of fanboyism, because Luke ISN'T that good, and this fight is lopsided, in Anakin's favor by far.
