EXCEPT NOT! Gideon didn't even answer Avis' questions. Avis is right, Gideon is getting into the old way of doing things. You know why, cause he's in the majority, just as Janus, IKC, and Faunus were. It's a cycle.
I find it insulting that you're implying that I debate in a Janus-era fashion. We've already established that we use logic now instead of prejudices and biases.
I agree with Avis. You're slipping into how we used to do things. If you need to be insulted to get your head out of the clouds, then it's gotta happen.
So, let's base this on facts: in the premise of the very same book, a no-name Jedi took on both Lumiya and Aleema in single combat and nearly beat them both. In fact, Lumiya lost a limb and Aleema was nearly knocked unconscious. Only at the very end did they finally subdue her; in Betrayal, Nelani overpowered Lumiya in a direct Force confrontation. Luke is miles and miles ahead of both, and Lumiya herself admits that Luke didn't want to kill her. To top it off, Jacen in particular was deeply concerned about what would happen if Luke discovered that Lumiya was present, because he knew he'd beat her.
This proves....little. So what if Jacen knew Luke could beat Lumiya. We already know that Luke DID beat Lumiya, it just wasn't total ownage as many think it should have been.
Let's now put it into perspective: A passive Luke battled Lumiya amid a plethora of distractions - in the form of enraged bar patrons whom he didn't want to hurt and his wife being endangered - and he still held his own and eventually overcame her.
Held his own? How about got a punctured lung and lost a hand, as well as nearly his life. If Luke could have he would have simply blasted the hell out of her with Lightning (he didn't, so we know it's not an instakill. If it was Lomi, Welk, and Lumiya would have been no problem.) That would have allowed him to keep causulties to a minimum and let him go help the bar patrons immediatly. He couldn't. He's not strong enough to pwn Lumiya.
