Re: Anakin Skywalker vs. DE Luke

Luke from DE 1 and Anakin in "teh zone" 9the state he's in when he beats Dooku, using his anger but still able to concentrate).1. Lightsaber
2. Force
3. All-outI say Luke wins 2 and 3, but 1 is close... Luke likely takes it but I'm really not sure.
Interestingly I would have to agree.
If I remember correctly Luke defeat DE Sidious in saber combat. If that is correct I'd say that he can definately defeat Anakin in saber combat. Anakin was great and all with a saber, but DE Sidious is FAR beyond what Anakin ever became. The guy was able to go toe to toe with Yoda in his old body and when he was far weaker with the Force. With a young body and vastly improved Force Powers with which to augment his new body he would be far more devastating. Luke topping that means Luke wins in all departments.

Sure, Luke would win in a saber fight if Leia was combining powers with him.

Luke probably gained a ton of power of his own between the first and second fight.
I don't see how that's plausible. Unless I'm mistaken, the time between Luke's duel with the Emperor and his rematch with Leia nearby didn't occur within months or weeks - or likely even several days.
Who knows? Apparently, though, he did, since:
A) Alone, Sidious owned him.
B) With Leia, (and infant Anakin) combining their powers with his, he won.
I could just be a fanboy, but I think Anakin takes this -- he has more force potential on his own, and would be able to wield it naturally and easily, if such became necessary, to counter DE Luke's attacks. He's also one of the most powerful lightsaber duelists in the Jedi Order, especially in the state in which he defeated Dooku. It's possible that he is, in fact, *the* duelist, by that time -- Obi-Wan, also considered highly able, beat him only because, frankly, Obi-Wan's much smarter than Anakin, and Anakin wasn't nearly as controlled as he was when he fought and beat Dooku, one of the more powerful lightsaber duellists of that era. Yoda's lightsaber style isn't so much better in itself than it is that Yoda merges it so well with the Force, to augment his speed.
If DE Luke gets the support he did from Leia and Anakin (Solo), he wins -- if not, ROTS Anakin wins.
