RotJ Luke vs. DoE Bane

Instead of facing off with Vader Luke fights Bane.

Bane has the knowledge of Luke's sister and wants to recruit her to be his apprentice.

Setting: Death Star II

No amp/prep time.

Who wins?

Luke has a much easier time with this then he did with Vader.

Bane destroys him easily. Spoilers:

Vader didn't attack him directly with the Force. And Bane's lightning isn't something Luke can handle.

I don't think Bane can handle Luke's speed. I recommend pitting Luke against someone who can run faster than Captain America.

Well, with new evidence regarding Bane's speed this is pretty much the case tbh.

Anyways

@ Neph. Yeah, true about the Force attacks. On the other hand if Hetton can dodge Bane's FL, so can Luke.

Bane gets blitzed

ROTJ Luke was making more after images with his blade than even Exar Kun.

That picture of Luke getting shocked WAS done by ROTJ Sidious. Bane is no Sidious. Not even close. Bane can't take Vader either.

That's not an argument that's related to this fight. Bane would still show Luke his zaps even if he weren't close to a Sidious who was clearly barely trying.

By that logic some really sh*tty duelists are faster than Kun lol. Afterimages are just art.

Bane dies.

Anyways, most ROTJ Luke comparisons boil down to whether you think he's a piker far inferior to his father, or more on par with his father.

Luke literally disarmed himself when Palpatine unleashed the bolts, and in the novelization Luke's Deflection was initially successful to some degree. He isn't giving up his lightsaber here and Bane isn't remotely as powerful as Palpatine.

Still not proof that Luke can block Bane's lightning. Luke "deflected" Sidious' weak lightning before he increased the power and that's contradicted by the movie where he clearly doesn't deflect anything. There's no indication Luke knew how to block lightning with his saber either or would be effective with it.

He never encountered Lightning with his saber, but a number of Jedi have done it on their first attempt.

At this point Luke didn't even know how to block a force choke, I doubt he's really capable of it.

Also he's not powerful enough. Bane's lightning is too powerful for a guy with no feats or proven ability.

You don't block a Force Choke with a lightsaber, lmao.

Even Hetton and the Huntress dodged Bane's Lightning, so Luke can do so. And his strength canonically matches Vader's, so he can withstand the impact of the Lightning slamming into his blade.

It was an example of Luke's inexperience and lack of training, dummy!
