Cause Luke is incredibly powerful? And Gamorreans have nothing on Spider - Man, dude.
Jeez, right over your head.
Yes, Luke is incredibly powerful, but even he could not resist the Emperor's force lightning, not even with the force at his disposal. To think a being such as Spider man, strong as he is physically, can do so, it the epitome of stupidity.
That's not true and there is no source in the movies or the EU to support it.
Explain to me why, after thousands of SW debates with hundreds of people over the years, after countless articles and books, after the movies, after umpteen George Lucas interviews has anyone ever implied that physical strength can counter the force? Have you ever seen someone say "Hey, if someone if physically stronger than another person, they can counter the force?" Do you even begin to fathom now silly that sounds?
The force is, and I quote, "An energy field created by all living things." and ""The Force surrounds us… and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." Yoda emphasized his point by poking his stick at Luke.
