Luke Skywalker & Mara Jade vs. Eragon & Arya
All combatants are at their peaks, Eragon's and Arya's swords are both able to block lightsabers, but the Riders do not get aid from Saphira or Firnen in any form other than energy for magic, however they do get the Eldunari.
In a single, all-out fight to the death, which side wins and why?
Eragon and Arya are both incredibly skilled with a sword, they have the speed and strength of the elves (Arya was born an elf, Eragon is a human magically transformed to be more elf than human), they both can use magic, which isn't limited to just TK but includes a whole slew of other deadly attacks, such as multiple spells which kill instantly without much energy from the caster. Finally, they can use their minds to try to take control of their opponents or even kill them with a mental assault which only those with the strongest of wills can hope to survive.
One thing I should add: don't comment unless you know enough about both sides to make an accurate and informed prediction, otherwise, it will sink to an insult-fest faster than what is normal for these threads.
If I recall Eragon's best feat for reaction is catching an arrow. Luke is much faster than that.
Granted the Eldunari gives Eragon powers that may be sufficiently powerful enough to put up a moderate defense but how much I can't say for certain. And I've only heard that Luke's force feats from the EU are insane.

Well Eragon is rather weird because there are apparently 12 words to cast death on things but they never get used.But lol EU Luke. He stomps the Eragon verse while laughing.
The reason the 12 words of death never get used is because every magic user in the Eragon Universe shields himself from those, you can if I understand correctly power you way through the magic shields, but it's a very consuming process.
The major question is how the magic will affect Luke and Mara Jade...

Eragon after he became half elf was pretty beastly if I recall. He was cutting down men by the dozen before they could react, and was speedblitzing seasoned elves with hundreds of years of combat experience.
Against EU Luke, Eragon isn't imo bringing this home by being engaging Luke in a duel.
Yeah, there just isn't a way for Eragon and Arya to keep up.
Luke has just done way too much... Including permanently cloaking a planet with the Force. There is a rough indication of his strength, may be a bit low.
Eragon.... Has some impressive feats, but given that Luke has fought at a speed where the only reason he could be seen (by another Force User I must add) was his lightsaber (this was DE, where he fought Palpatine. And is not his most powerful)
All in all, Eragon and Arya tend to lead in with sword. And they will be dead in moments. That is just because Luke will try to talk them out of the fight until Mara, being the pragmatic one, points out they can't. So Luke just wins.
Personally I'm not seeing a way for Luke to survive if Eragon busts out his 12 words of death.
Unless we take that 'all-out' bit literally. Luke is powerful, but he has the unfortunate trait of not busting out the big guns..... ever. You won't see him running up and cutting Eragons head off before he knows what the **** or twisting his head off like a cork because thats just not how Luke does things. But if he's really going all out he might be able to whoop the pair before they can kill him.
Eragon and Arya have the Mind thing where they can enter anothers mind to try and take the person over... This would be pointless against Luke since he is FAR from weak willed.
Eragon and Arya can use sword. Luke is faster and near unable to be seen at that.
Eragon and Arya can use Magic. Luke has the Force... Seriously.
I dont see Eragon and Arya winning.

Eragon gets a few milliseconds into the first of the twelve words and is dead.

Originally posted by NephthysThey can, however it is extremely dangerous. If their attention is diverted from the subject for just a moment, then it has a good chance of backfiring. Which is why that won't work on these two. Mara did it all the time as a Hand, and Luke is quite proficient in the technique as well, since otherwise he'd always get mobbed by reporters.
I think the magic duo can use magic without needing to say the words out-loud. Don't quote me though.
