Anakin (Full Potential) vs. GM Luke

A draw in terms of raw power...who'd win? It is mostly a battle of personality and technique. Perhaps even philosophy.

Anakin would win in a fight.

The Chosen One

Eh. In Luke's favor, his philosophy more properly embodies the Jedi, and his saber skills surpass his father's, considering even Vader only use 4 forms in his style, where Luke uses all 7. He is also wiser then his father. In a battle of equals, what's in your head and heart decides.

As raw power is pretty close to even...I'm actually in favor of Luke beating dear old dad.

You think Luke is twice as powerful as Sids?

Or more powerful I guess since you think he would take full potential Ani?

Certainly. Mostly on the basis of the comment by Lucas that GM Luke has become everything Anakin was supposed to be. Thus, I consider it a fundamental draw but for philosophy.

GM Luke occasionally suffers from 'Strong As He Needs to Be'...but if Anakin got where he should be going, he'd suffer from that too.

I always thought that meant more like he became the Jedi Anakin was supposed to be. I dunno, Luke has enormous feats and skill but I've never thought he was twice as powerful as Sidious, especially when you consider DE feats.

Well, that's what the thread is for, I suppose. What did Lucas mean by 'achieving all his father should've been' as my thread is based on this being mostly a draw.

If luke had become all that Anakin would have been , Abeloth wouldn't have been a problem.

Eh. Aboleth is pretty OP. I'm not convinced Anakin's Full Potential woud've done it better. After all, the corollary of Anakin Full Potential=GM Luke is that GM Luke=Full Potential Anakin

So he'd do no better, and no worse, then his son.

Anakin just about stomps, though it's not like he would ever have achieved his full potential anyway.

Anakin....

Didn't Luke say Abeloth was like 13 times stronger than him or so?

Pretty sure that was from Luke's POV.

Yeah, I remember it being Luke's opinion.

Anakin overpowered 2 of the Ones...on Mortis.

We've never seen what Luke would be like on Mortis. Is there any evidence he could do as well? Fighting Aboleth off Mortis has to be harder then defeating a One on Mortis.

The Ones can use Mortis, and there's no proof anyone besides them and Anakin can, so...point?

What makes you think the ability to use Mortis hasn't been inherited?

It almost feels like if Anakin had become the father...then Luke and Leia may well have been replacement son and replacement daughter. For obvious reasons.
