DN Luke vs. Revan, Malak, and Sion

Started by Lightsnake2 pages

That statement may be hyperbole, but we've seen Luke used a force technique capable of killing an opponent on contact, and move faster than the eye can see to take out seven warriors, among whom two of which killed eleven elite Vong warriors in moments...and Luke did it within seconds, after fighting his way through an army and having enough left to kill Shimrra. We've seen Emerald Lightning used before: It's a combination fo Yaddle's Man-whatever and Plo Koon's Electric Judgement. And even if Sion isn't killed, his will could be broken from getting continuously beat down again and his faith in the dark side removed

I really don't see Sion's will being beaten down that easily. He hates the jedi, and if he knows that he can keep on coming (And that he has two powerful allies, people he even respects) he's not going to get beat up and go "Oh damn... I am feeling like a born-again wuss" and just fall apart. A lot of people are exaggerating the weakness of Sion to make it a "unversal weakness", when it isn't.

However, he's taking on Luke who's shown himself to outclass pretty much anyone in power. And Luke nearly managed to break Palpatine's faith in the dark side once, Hethrir-I shudder, bad example, as well as Brakiss and Kueller for a few minutes. If Luke could convince Sion of the futility of his state and the torture of the dark compared to the warmth of the light...either that or Sion'd keep getting chopped down. The irritating thing is that Sion's invulnerability is completely gameplay...a good flurry would really send him to the floor in pieces

Erm, Sion can only be broken down by Traya, because he loves her, or the Exile, because Sion hates him because Kreia loves him more.

If a good flurry could send him to the floor in pieces, then the Exile would have done so. Any thread with Sion in it is usually pointless as he is invincible, end of story.

Oh, that emerald lightning thing only stuns the Vong. I could be wrong though.

I've heard it only stuns them as well.

Yep. The 'emerald lightning' only goes so far as to paralyze and floor a Slayer. Then, Jacen slashes it with his lightsaber, and that's what kills it.

EDIT: And for the record, Luke gets owned.

Yeah, you said that before. See? This is why we need experienced NJO/DN scholars... So we can fight misinformation.


In lightsaber combat, Luke favored two-handed styles, but he could still fight single-handed-even with his weak hand-just as well as anyone in the academy.

Well...literally this says that Luke, while favouring two handed styles, could still fight using single handed styles as good as anybody in the academy. Even if he's limited to his weak hand.

That would only mean that he would be as good as anybody in the Academy while fighting with his off hand while his opponent also limits himself to one-handed fighting styles. And the only lightsaber style that is pretty much "limited" to handling the lightsaber with one hand only would be Makashi (watch the lightsaber duels in the films - almost all people except Dooku handle the weapon with both hands). I don't think Luke has many Makashi masters running around in his Academy...

Apart from this: Considering this is an even stronger version of NJO Luke who was already the force god...Revan and Malak would get down pretty fast. In the worst case they get knocked down by "Emerald Lightning". Sion is the real challenge here but - with two Sith Lords killed in front of him, one of them being Traya's most beloved student - I don't think he will keep up fighting for an infinite amount of time. And if he suggests to do that, Luke theoretically could still simply throw him around like a ragdoll.

Apologies on the EL...though, it's probable Luke's learned Morichiro by then...
