LUKE vs NIHILUS! re-match(all out)
Yes a while ago i herd you guys did a thread about this
im not shure what the final outcome was
but my vote goes to nihilus
even if luke could remove himself from the force
and only engagde in saber combat he would still lose
because when he doesn't use the force to gelp him in
saber combat his speed, strength and stamina fall
It depends on what incarnation of Luke you're discussing. If it's NJO Luke, he would certainly defeat Nihilus- and I doubt it'll be particularly hard for him.
You see, Luke possesses experience with several Fallanassi techniques that make Nihilus' only uniquely powerful skill- his drain- completely useless against him. Luke will, no matter how you put it, curbstomp Nihilus without his drain- either crush him in a saber duel, destroy him with Electric Judgement... the list goes on. Luke, as of NJO, is generally accepted to be the most powerful force user in history. Nihilus, despite being an exceptionally powerful Sith Lord, will die to Luke.
Right. Cuz Luke is automatically going to be all 'Look, that's Darth Nihilus from KotOR: TSL! He brutally severs people from the Force, and can do so to anything from individuals to entire f*cking planets! But I know what to do! I'm gonna loop out of the Force now, run up to him, and stab him in the ass! W00t.'
That, versus Nihilus sensing Luke's tremendous presence in the Force and deciding to eat him.
Luke could definitely win this if he did what he did against Jacen and just rushed the guy, but all Nihilus has to do is raise his hand.

This wouldn't be the most farfetched or implausible move ever from a SW character.
How bout Luke appointing MOFFS, and batshit crazy Daala wasn't elected she was MADE ruler of the galaxy, with no fight from anyone and endorsement by a man she tortured Han Solo.
Or how bout a 30 year old woman Tahri who can't move on from a infatuation with a dead 17 year old Anakin Solo, and said woman who attempts to seduce a 14 year old Ben Skywalker.

i still don't think we can assume that nihilus can drain any person he wants too in a moment. we never actually see that happen. Luke DOES have the ability to remove himself from the force completely, as evidenced when he goes AWOL before slipping aboard the Anakin Solo to rescue Ben. So that would keep Nihilius drain or whatever the attack is called from having much of an affect even if Nihilius COULD use that attack on a single target.
Actually I'm pretty sure that nihilus can target a single target and drain them when he wants to as you can see in this clip

at around 1:09 you see nihilus target the exile and use his drain technique only to fail since the exile is a wound in the force.
But i still see luke coming out the victor here. He knows so much force techniques and being able to mask his presence while also being able to force project himself somewhere else (at least thats what i think he did in inferno) only helps his cause.
