The Truest Sith Lord
I think Yoda would have just thrown them against the wall like he did in ROTS. No need to waste saber energy.

My point was that Luke preferred his blaster over his lightsaber, which is clearly not a trait of a Jedi. Zett was able to fight off clonetroopers, I'm sure he would have made a better effort to save them, surely not with a blaster!
It just shows what weapon Luke felt more comfortable with. Naga Sadow wasn't comfortable with a lightsaber, but that doesn't mean he couldn't pwn 99% of the people in the SW universe. It's just the way that he grew up and doesn't mean he is weak with his lightsaber.
What does him possibly being weaker then Qui-gon have to do with him being able to defeat Zett. Unless you think Zett would take Qui-gon...

I wasn't saying that Zett would take Qui-Gon, merely saying that Qui-Gon DEMONSTRATED that lightsabers CAN cut through doors, but Luke DIDN'T do so to go after Leia and Chewie. Why not? Because if he did, I'm sure a few stormtroopers wouldn't be any threat to him.
Luke probably didn't know. In anycase, it doesn't represente his duelling ability(does duelling have one or two 'l'?).
More then a weak youngling.

For a kid his age, he actually impressed me more than ESB Luke did. Clonetroopers can unleash quite a bit of whoop-ass, and yet he managed to fight off four of five. I didn't see Luke even attempt to fight off any stormtroopers when he could have.
He stood there and shot at them in ESB for a few seconds, killing one or two of them even as Han and Leia were telling him to run.
How does killing 4 or 5 Stormtroopers impress you more then him getting a hit on Vader? Vader could have pwned 5 times the number of Clones Zett did. Vader has killed at least 2 Jedi Masters, one of whom was a powerful Jedi and Mace's apprentice (but not a Vapaad user). Vader also killed 7 Jedi at the same time while in his suit, and Luke still held his own against him for about 3 or 4 minutes. All that in his suit.
Why do you complain about Luke getting as strong as he did so fast, but you turn a blind eye to Nomi Sunrider. She has less experince then Luke, but she took that Krath girl who had several years of training. She also knew how to stip Ulic's power. Why dousn't that bring you to the uproar it does whenever Luke is mentioned?

Luke was pretty good, considering the cards he was dealt (such little experience and training), but come on, usually it takes decades to become even a fully trained apprentice. And where can I get more information on Nomi Sunrider? Cause this is the first time I have ever heard of her.
Really? Here's a quick bio:
On a mission to bring Adegan crystals to Master Thon of Ambria, Andur was confronted by agents of Bogga the Hutt, who demanded he hand over the crystals. When he refused, one of the agents sicced his pet (a poisonous lizard-like creature called a gorm-worm) onto Andur, killing him instantly. When his spirit spoke to his wife, she took up his lightsaber and slew most of his attackers. After this, Nomi vowed to never to use a lightsaber again, much like how Jedi Master Ikrit did in a similar situation, thousands of years later. This vow couldn't last long however, when she realized that a lightsaber was a needed and important weapon, but still maintained the belief that a lightsaber was to be used as little as possible. Bogga sent his men to follow her and take the crystals but they were unsuccessful.
Despite her original wishes, she accepted her destiny as a Jedi and was trained by Master Thon. As a Jedi, she met and fell in love with another Jedi named Ulic Qel-Droma and was with him for some time. When Ulic defected to the Sith (apprenticed to Exar Kun), he killed his brother Cay. In retaliation, Nomi severed his connection with The Force and was convinced that his love for her was severed. He ended up turning on Kun and helping the Jedi defeat him and win the Great Sith War. During the course of this terrible conflict, Nomi met and became good friends with fellow Jedi Knight Jolee Bindo and his wife Nayama, experiencing a number of battles together. In later years, Jolee would fondly recall his friendship with Nomi.
In the years following the end of the Sith War, Nomi lived on Coruscant, where she held the title of 'councilor.' She became a well-known Jedi Knight, becoming a spokesperson and de facto leader of them while becoming embroiled in Republic politics on the capital.
As her daughter Vima grew, she became somewhat rebellious and impatient. When she ran away to find Ulic to train her as a Jedi, her mother searched and found her. Although the meeting between her and her ex-lover was rather awkward, Nomi realized, after discovering the statues Ulic had carved, that he was finally beginning to find peace. Ulic, having trained Vima in the Jedi ways, was shot in the back and died in Nomi's arms. After this, Nomi concentrated on training her daughter.
Her final fate is, as of now, unknown. She was a great Jedi Master of her age, and through daughter Vima she was a multiple-great-grandmother of Vima Da-Boda.
