Luke Skywalker vs Emperor Tenebrae

Like when you called me 'pathetic' not once, but twice? That seemed a little personal at the time.

Aren't we all supposed to unite against our fuhrer?

anyone notice that the mods have been harder on Z since he came out in-thread? interesting...

These damn racist, supporters of the death penalty bigots.. But no, it's just an overcompensation for incredible insecurity issues.

If you guys want to go all 'la resistance' could you at least make your own damn threads? I don't want mine to be closed down.

i have no resistance? I don't understand what you mean. ?

I only post here cause I don't know about this Tenanbrae person and figured he doesn't actually exist.

It doesn't matter DE, captain insecurity will find a reason to close it down.

I don't even understand anything.

I obviously don't condone taking potshots at a mod in-thread, cause that's just asking for it. I will say this though: We were told not to discuss Dr. Who in-thread, and no one said another word about it, and the thread was closed anyway.

This is the kind of post that people save for future use. 😄

Better slap a pink triangle on myself and call the ACLU, amirite?

But in all seriousness, I think it's clear that Luke would be able to defeat this emperor dude. Luke's power in the Dark Nest Crisis trilogy eclipsed the combined Force potential of an entire planet singlehandedly. This is not even the most powerful version of Luke.

Later, he displays considerable aptitude for illusions, proving him proficient in the arena of mental powers. This goes as far as cloaking an entire fleet, and maybe a planet? (It's been a long time since I've read Invincible.)

In terms of sheer Force aptitude, I'm going to need a bit more than ridiculous Force lightning from the Emperor before I'm willing to count Luke Everloving Skywalker out of the race.

Luke 7/10

i'm still not even sure who this emperor dude is.. is this some book series i have completely missed?

((Much more fun to simply superimpose "Darth Sidious" over all of the arguments for this character and watch Legend argue for Gideon's old flame.))

(((Even with power creep, I think that the game designers will have to make a conscious effort to supplant Luke as the pinnacle of power, though The Imprisoned One looks to come close.)))

The Imprisoned one and Abeloth are gods while the emperor is close. I think Luke has a better chance than Sidious but I'm not sure how resisting the entire colony compares to the Emperor dominating an entire planet and hundreds of sith lords.

To say that there has been virtually nothing offered in evidence of the imprisoned Rakata would be generous; Vitiate's powers are enormously overhyped; and the critical difference between Luke resisting and overpowering the full mental and metaphysical might of the Colony is that, unlike the Sith Lords with Vitiate, we know that UnuThul was actively trying to impose his will on Luke.

Sidious' powers are well documented. I don't think any of us need an argument to know why he's a formidible combatant.

There's nothing overhyped about the Emperor's powers.

The three individuals who have led the primary charge to declare Vitiate's supremacy have repeatedly ignored the fact that much of his power stems from an unconfirmed legend and a ritual which involved the participation of hundreds of Sith. There is only one individual besides myself who I know to have openly acknowledged this without rancor, and that would be Lucius.

You keep calling it an unconfirmed legend, but the planet IS dead with the force. There is NO living being on that planet, and the Emperor is indeed immortal so while you may call it unconfirmed, it certainly seems to be legitimate. Again, no argument has been made for Sidious' superiority other than his vast resources.
