Actually I want to thank you. After some of the crap I've seen and or gone thru thees last couple of weeks, I needed to see a vid like this. So thank you Even Nova and my the force always be with you :)
Thank you EvanNova95. Your videos are always great to watch. I applaud you for taking on a match such as this one. I could not do a match like this because I would be switching my answer every few minuets. LOL May the force be with you, always. :) For a future verses video do you think you could do either Aayla Secura vs Darth Talon or Anakin Skywalker vs Darth Cadeus? Again thank you very much for this spectacular battle.
This is a great analysis. For people upset that Mace lost, you do realize that Skywalker is basically a GOD in human form right? Just to be his equal in saber combat makes Mace one of the best Jedi ever.
Great video as always. Of course I have a differing opinion on Mace Windu with a few points (use of Vaapad and it effectiveness, assessment of Shatterpoint). For me, physical abilities are not determined by age when it comes to Force users. Or else Dooku would not be able to keep pace with a much younger Anakin and Obi-Wan. Or Master Yoda would not be able to keep pace with Depa Billaba, Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon. One's Force abilities, and by extension, their Force augmentation, determined their physical output. For that reason I would actually give the edge to Luke, but that's just my way of thinking. Your dueling assessment was very thorough, though I would say Luke could combat Vaapad pretty effectively. Force abilities was in-depth as well. Very, very good match up and well handled.
the problem is drawing on the force to augment/Supplement one physical abilities is draining in the same way as any other ability meaning that when pressed or when there focus is broken the augmentation vanishes Dokku is a prime example of this on invisible hand dooku is described how draining augmenting himself to keep up with Anakin is and this drain in the end left him with nothing but his own Physicality, an old man. this is where physical ability becomes a factor in the Vs.
I do agree with you on that physical prowess can't be assesed on age. I do believe Windu was more of weapon in a whole. He trained his body to be a weapon for the light and was much more of a warrior compared to Luke. So I give the physical abillities to Mace aswell, And ye! for some reason you seem to dislike or at least don't think very highly of Mace. Eventhough he was such a skilled and powerfull jedi.
DB6195 Actually Dooku was quite capable in his Force augmentation, and it didn't really hamper any of his other abilities. In fact, Yoda says Dooku was in better shape than men half his age in "Dark Rendezvous" which takes places mere months before ROTS. Months prior, Dooku was still contending with (and outclassing) Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The situation with the Dooku fight in ROTS is that Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker simply got better. Obi-Wan had become a master of Soresu, while Anakin became a master of Djem So. Dooku could not stand to battle two masters of such forms, which in turn, tired him out. However we know that this is not usually the case for Dooku, as he was already contending on par with Yoda and outmatching Obi and Anakin only months prior: Anakin and Obi Wan vs Count Dooku [The Clone Wars Season 6] So I would still be inclined to say that it is one's Force abilities (specifically in augmentation) which informs their physical prowess ultimately. Or else Sidious would not be able to blitz three masters, or Yoda would not be able to fight with the speeds he does. In the case of Luke and Mace, I would say Luke would actually take a slight advantage because his physical output is far more conservative and his Force augmentation would be more thorough.
Herp de derp, Main character of the original trilogy, must be written broken. Tired of Luke being OP in legends, it makes it feel like a badly written fanfiction.
I wish people would stop whining about how, "Legends Luke is Over Powered", I mean, his midichlorian count is the exact same as Anakin's, and he was trained by Yoda, AND he had a great control over the Force. Maybe it's just because I'm a Luke fanboy, but to me, people saying "Legend Luke is OP" is an un-intelligent response to anything.
I love the versus series I've learned so much. I still listen to one every right to fall asleep too. Still so relaxing after all these years! Never stop Evan!
***** EU Luke isnt more powerful than the Father, Son, Daughter. So its not really that unbelievable, and during the processes in which he unlocks these abilities, are shown, and talked through. If you think about it, tons of EU characters were strong like Anakin, but its all explained why, and has depth. Rey is good, out of no where. And it isnt explained. Mind trick out of no where, advanced saber combat, competent force grip. Especially when taking from another opponent, like Kylo, when they were fighting for possession of the saber. Theyre coming up with stuff out of no where. The new canon on Kyber crystals contradicts current "canon" lore. Disney is more retarded than my uncles, cousins, best friends, 9 month old kittens great great grandmothers 2nd cousin twice removed father in law.
I never got into all the bullshit EU stuff, which is basically glorified fan fiction and shit at that. I felt so vindicated when it was all thrown out as the bullshit it was. Laughed my ass off at all you clots who cling to this crap like its your actual religion.
Except if you really look at the beginning of Star Wars it's clear as crystal that Luke was on a completly diffrent level than the ordinary force wielders, he was like his father before him, something completly different. His lightsaber aptitide was even greater than Anakins, who himself with 13 years of training surpassed everyone in the order except for yoda, who had 800 years of training and experience. Luke managed to master what someone will never do in 1 year of SELF TRAINING, by pure instinct and going of instructions in Obi Wans jurnals. Luke has always been one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in galactic History, however unlike Windu he has the force aptitude of enteties to augment his physical attributes by a gigantic degree, Windu would not even be able to react to Luke lol, it's a stomp in all categories where as in the force and all out he can beat him by gesturing.
These series are AWESOME dude - it's a total pleasure and privilege to watch your vids as i find myself actually watching them instead of just listening, as i presume that's not a common occurance. Your analysis is extremely entertaining and your take on unresolved issues - most pleasing ^^ keep up the good work!
+MisterTutor2010 Although Luke has proven a great mastery of turning the word "NO" into a shrieking whine, his father has shown an ability to scream "NO" while shaking an entire room like a magic 8 ball. Clear win for Darth Vader.
I'd love to see Aayla Secura vs Darth Talon next season. There have been a couple of attempts on this pairing, but you and Jensaarai1 are the absolute best at this and I know you'd give this fight the review it deserves. Also, I'd like to see your take on the top 10 Jedi and Underrated Jedi. The Dark Jedi and Sith videos were really good
I fail to see how Vaapad's feeding off of the dark side would be useful in fighting a light sider. It's just a complete non sequitur. It's like saying that heat is the remedy to being cold, and therefore using ice will also warm one up.
I'm in the same boat, vaapad is only useful against opponents fuelling themselves with the dark side, and is not applicable against l Luke, I also think Luke is a better swordsman, and faster. but it was still an amazing video two thumbs up definitely
It's not the case of Vapaad being empowered solely by darkness. At the end, both the Lightside and the Darkside are both parts of THE FORCE. It's a matter of personal philosophies and emotional emphasis that distinguish them. Vapaad is about taking the full power of the Force that an opponent is giving off and combining it with your own power to channel the complete package against an opponent. Otherwise it would only be a viable method against Dark Jedi and Sith, rather than in sparring matches or combat outside of duelling. Given the magnitude of Skywalker's power and affinity in the Force and his use of it, it would be extremely effective against him.
True, but Vaapad as a fighting style alone is still powerful, as it by itself is an extension of Juyo, with an overwhelmingly fast and strong offense, and staunch defense.
I agree with almost everything said, though I think that Luke has greater large scale manipulations. He and mace both can sweep away armies, but Luke can sweep away vong, who are resistant to force powers.
Hmm how about Darth Vader vs Darth Nihilus? Who is the true ultimate Jedi Hunter, one hunted them so well that they didn't knew who was attaking them, while the other did it so thoroughly that they became a myth, their specializations also put them at odds, Nihilus was.............Decent when it came to lightsaber, but he was but a mere fly in comparison to Vader, Vader was very well balanced when it came to the Force and had a wide variety of tools, but unfortunately was unablet o match the raw destruction that Nihilus was able to call upon, so I really would wanna see who would triumph, variety and flexibility vs raw power and ruthlesness
Well Vader is immune to force drain and is a better light saber duelist. Nihilus lightning wont do much considering he was able to tank star-killer and Darth Sidious lightning.
Kenneth Edema Vader tolerating Starkiller's force lighting was absolute non-canon bullshit, and he didn't at all tank Sidious' lightning; he was going to die from it if he didn't have Luke take his helmet off and hasten his death. And please explain how Vader is immune to Force drain? Are you talking about in that Wii game or whatever? I really doubt that's canon.
1) Vader was able to withstand Sidious lightning for several seconds while they was a opining in his suit ( when Luke cut his hand off) and kill him. 2) he had immunity because Ulic Qel-Droma thought him to resist it in order to beat the dark reaper. You underestimate Vader.
I love this video EvanNova!!! Easily the best one you have every made. I only have one concern about your evaluation of their martial skills: Darth Sidious. Mace Windu was able to match Darth Sidious and out-maneuver him to beat him. Skywalker duelled and defeated Darth Sidious on neutral ground is a pure test of their martial abilities and Force Powers. I think this is a decisive factor that makes Luke Skywalker a slightly better duelist than Mace Windu, with the same level of difference as their martial abilities (very slight edge, but still leaving both of them above the master-class level)
Good work you did there. Could you please do a Kreia vs. Yoda-one? I think it would be quite interesting seeing a battle of wisdom, ideals and abilities. Yoda had hundreds of years to learn the light side of the force, but Kreia experienced both light and dark. Please at least think about it :3
every time Luke is put against somebody in one of these VS. videos it always comes down to his force ability to witch the only people that can even get close are Sidious and Yoda.
Luke doesnt enjoy the combat, which would not allow Windu to feed off him. Windu feeds off the Darkness in an opponent, something Luke doesnt really have. AND Luke knows Vaapad, it was in the Great Holocron he discovered in 40 ABY. He is a Master of every form.... Vaapad included, and created his own variations in the process.
Mace Windu is overrated. There, I said it. Even after losing the lightsaber duel against Windu fair and square, Palpatine could have flicked him out of the window with just a thought if he wanted to. He was one of the most powerful Sith to ever live. And at his full potential Luke would DESTROY Windu.
violatione Palpatine lost the lightsaber duel, absolutely. But he was much stronger in the Force, and could already predict Anakin's arrival. The lightning duel was so obviously staged, if he wanted he could have blasted Windu out the window with absolutely no effort. But he's smarter than that. A hell of a lot smarter than Windu, that's for sure. Palpatine killed two birds with one stone. Turning Anakin over to his side by feigning weakness, and eliminating one of the few Jedi who posed any threat to him.
While I will concede that Palpatine was much smarter than Windu, I don't think that Palpatine had it in him to overwhelm Windu with force attacks. Palpatine's MO is to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is evidenced by the fact that he dispatched Windu's colleagues (all of whom were seasoned Jedi masters) in less than 2 seconds. If Palpatine had the ability to win that fight, he would have. No, he lost handily and had to throw a hail Mary to save his plans.
violatione Uh, Palpatine's MO was toying with his victims and making them suffer before killing them. He never rushed things. And seeing as Palpatine was the most powerful Sith Lord of all time, I'm pretty sure that even if Windu deflected any lightning Palpatine threw at him it wouldn't matter. A telekinetic shove off the ledge was all it would take. But that's not Palpatine's plan. There was even a moment during their lightsaber duel where Windu had Palpatine's saber pointed straight at his chest. All Palpatine needed to do was lunge forward and Windu would be dead. But he was just having too much fun, and if he killed Windu then and there he would have no hope of turning Anakin. Windu never stood a chance, plain and simple.
With Windu feeding off of Sidious' power, the fight would've gone on forever had Sidious not thrown the fight. This is a man who overtook the Republic and turned it into the Empire purely through manipulation. He is no dummy. He allowed himself to be pushed onto the ledge. He realized that with Windus Vapaad and his own limitless well if power that was the dark side, it was a stalemate. So the fight only stopped because Sidious made it. That doesn't mean Windu is weak however and that Sidious beat him. Sidious out thought him.
Jesus, the EU turned Luke into a complete Gary Stew. I'm fine with the idea of him being a powerful Jedi, but the amount of powers they gave him is just ridiculous. This is where these vs series can fall down. It's real easy for a badly written character to win if they've got the writer on their side.
You mean as opposed to the overall practically useless Luke in the movies? The one that only had just enough of the Force for any other kid to imagine themselves in his shoes? The one with almost NO real personality? Right.
Great job on the video. Its easy to see you spent a lot of time and effort putting it together. It was good to see some artwork used that I have seen before, most people just recycle the same 12 images that everyone else already uses.
Agreed! I'm glad he took the time to find some new artwork. Though I do believe it's pointless to have a verses video using Luke. You don't even need to watch the video to know who won.
Well this was again quite obvious. You can't put anything against a god-like charakter like Luke (as he seems to be at this time). However: it was "closer" than expected (it seems the only being who would have a small chance against a god is Mace lol). In the next season you should do more duels with equally matched characters. Too often I've watched the videos with knowing the result only for taking a look at your arguments. However: it's always a pleasure to listen because your arguments prove a high knowledge and competence and the will to work with an open outcome. I'm no EU specialist. This stuff is in most cases by far too exaggerated for me. So my wish is to see more duels with movie Jedi. Ki-Adi-Mundi is a very interesting character and deserves taking place in one of the videos as you thankfully did with Oppo Rancisis. I still think Darth Traya deserves a duel. She's at least as intersting as Palpatine. They are very similar in many aspects but still very different.
Don't take this the wrong way, but while I love your videos, I find anything involving Grandmaster Luke Skywalker or Darth Sidious to be pretty much a foregone conclusion. Luke is THE most powerful lightsider in the Star Wars EU, and Sidious is THE most powerful Darksider. The only Sidious matchup I consider reasonable was the Darth Sidious vs Darth Vitiate one, mostly because of Vitiate's hype. Besides that, it seems unfair to pit them against any others, because they are so far beyond their competition. Good video though.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu George Lucas has stated Darth Sidious is the most powerful Sith, and several Expanded Universe sources confirm this, repeatedly referring to Sidious as the most powerful Sith in Galactic history. Technically Darth Caedus and Darth Krayt should be exempt from this as they came after Sidious but I find it very unlikely that they were more powerful than Sidious if guys like Bane, Vader, Exar Kun, Plagueis, Nihilus and Vitiate weren't as powerful as him.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu The problem is that even if the EU claims about Sidious being the most powerful predate Vitiate, they don't mean any less now that Vitiate has appeared (besides which Vitiate is HIGHLY overrated. Vitiate's good, but his lightsaber skills are crap, and while his force abilities are impressive, they're not beyond the scope of guys like Darth Plagueis). Personally, while DE does showcase WHY Sidious is the strongest Sith, enough EU sources, as well as George Lucas himself have stated Sidious is the alpha Sith, who stands above all others. So he would still be the strongest, even without DE. Hell, Sidious took down Yoda. That alone should show how insanely powerful he is. Besides. Even if the next movie doesn't have DE elements.... yes. Sidious is still the most powerful. The only other Sith in the Disney Canon are Vader, Maul, Dooku and Bane. Bane's utterly featless in the Disney Canon, and Sidious is much more powerful than Vader, Maul and Dooku, so he'd still be the strongest unless Disney introduces a new Sith, stronger than he is.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu True enough, but Sidious grew in power after Plagueis. By RotJ, let alone Dark Empire, I figure even his former master couldn't have defeated him. Problem with (Disney Canon) Darth Plagueis, is like (Disney Canon) Darth Bane he's utterly featless so we can't say that he was stronger than Palpatine because we have nothing to gauge him by.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu Technically true, but in a comparative sense it means Plagueis has nothing to match up with Sidious. Sidious has definable feats which are quite impressive, Plagueis (under Disney Canon) has nothing with which he can use to measure up with Sidious. Sidious beat Yoda in a fight and killed three Jedi masters in seconds. Plagueis has no feats under the Disney Canon that he can use to match up with that. So yeah. Unless the new movies introduce a new Sith that is stronger than Palpatine-- even if they ignore Dark Empire (which not gonna lie, I hope they do that series was poorly told), Sidious is still the strongest Sith, because there are no Sith under the Disney Canon that can be proven to be stronger than him.
+TheNuisanceBird we dont know how strong look is now it has been 30 years he has fount a holocron of the old jedi olrder during 19 bby of even 4000 bby so yeah he is probs a grandmaster now
If these two were to somehow meet on the battlefield, for some reason I imagine it almost going like Jet Li vs Donnie Yen in Hero. Maybe they'd both be hit by a Force vision of how the fight *could* play out. And it's perhaps the most spectacular dual the Galaxy could ever witness. But once the vision ends it ultimately leads to only one definitive sword strike from each opponent. And though very close to the mark, Master Windu would still find himself impaled with an emerald blade.
well i just want to see coments that disagree with luke's win, using the exuse of "lucas dont know a shit" i want to have an argument with them and say that he is the one that doesnt know a shit saing that
+susumu07 well they are even on the movie (but i think vader is stronger JUST than palpatine) but the difference is a really really really a lot but a lot but a lot smaller than the others like the other force users are a mach to them and stand a chance but wouldnt be the "PROBALLY victorius"
Good video like it very much but as u know George Lucas himself has said no new jedi or sith is more powerful then Luke Skywalker so Luke wins no mather who he face in versus series.
"Mace Windu is 11 years younger than Luke Skywalker" You are pulling two people from two separate points in time. (Mace Windu was dead before Luke Skywalker was even born) They can be whatever age you want them to be. No matter how justified you think the decision was to make one of them older, it was a flawed one if you are using it to give one of them an advantage. (Even a tiny one)
Somehow, I had a feeling that Luke would triumph over Mace. He reached his full magnitude of the Force, unlike his dad before Mustafar. So I take it that Qui-Gon Jinn will be in Season 4?
EvanNova95 Knew it! I hope you can read the full scope of his abilities in the _Jedi Apprentice_ series as well as the comics and _Cloak of Deception_.
You know now with the new movie, their going to make Rey the most powerful Jedi in the lore now. Which is pretty sad since to me she doesnt deserve it since everything is just laid out for her by Disney where as Luke had to work for it and still was only strong enough to fight Vader.
Yes there are. Such as the father, Daugheter, Son and Abeloth are better then Luke. Luke only won abeloth because Abeloth used only her dark side power while she mastered light side as well
Luke was able to persist as a force ghost for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. We know this is no mean feat from the very beginning of the Thrawn trilogy.Just wanna point this out.
can you do something with Ki-Adi-Mundi next season. I read through his database and there is a lot about him, but no one has done anything with him yet, seems like a good option.
While I won't be featuring him in Season 4 I have recently made plans to use him in Season 5. I know its a bit of a long wait but I hope its something.
Quite a good match-up, but I think Maul would win. While Maul isn't in the same class as Bane, and therefore wouldn't easily overpower her in a lightsaber duel, I still think that would be the eventual outcome (Maul outdueling her)... because yes, Zannah was a master of Soresu, but she was never the level of master Obi-Wan was with it. And as far as Zannah's sith sorcery, keep in mind she was only able to use her dark side tendrils on Ambria, a dark side nexus. Maul winning is just my opinion, and a hastily-made one at that. I would still very much love to see EvanNova or someone else do Zannah vs. Maul.
***** Debatable. Count Dooku is a perfect counterexample. And yes, she knew other Sith sorcery, but as far as what was presented of her abilities in Sith sorcery, besides her one-time use of dark side tendrils, she just used Sith sorcery to essentially mess with people's minds.
TinyTorah You can't blame Zannah for not having her character be explored lol. After we're well aware of her ability to mess with people's mind she says in inner monologue in the third book that she has learned many new and powerful forms of sith sorcery. I flicked through the book to get the exact quote, "In addition to the tomes her master had provided, Zannah had sought out her own sources of hidden sith knowledge over the years. Practicing in secret, she had progressed far beyond Bane's expectations, learning new spells to unleash the dark side in ways he had never even imagined'. That doesn't sound to me like she only knows one other ability apart from the highly dependent upon surroundings dark side tendrils. Maybe she could have used the dark side within Darth Bane to create a weaker version of the tendrils. Guess we'll never know ;). Also, when Bane resisted her sorcery, bare in mind that she had tripped over an obstacle (another dependent on surroundings thing, these things do happen and should not be discounted, Bane didn't say "oh my, dear lady, you have fallen over, allow me to help you up", he took full advantage) and as such hadn't been able to secretly use the mind bending sorcery she had planned to use out of seemingly nowhere. She had to do a fully obvious attack on bane's mind. If there had been no mound for her to trip over, the battle may have ended then and there. She could've swooped in and ended his life with her lightsaber for the quick victory.
Love your vids, just one thing you refer to a lot, which I might point out is wrong. When Mace Windu beat Darth Sidious, you must know that the Sith Lord let him win. IF you look at the battle and the situation, he was putting on a complete act at the end of that combat. He needed to have the appearance he was beaten infront of Anakin, which at that time, was still deciding which way he was going to go as far as sides. I think Darth Sidious could have defeated mace almost at will, later shown how well he did against Yoda, but he let himself be beaten in that fight so he could garner help from Anakin. He knew if he appeared to be beaten, Anakin would step in and help, and hence, solidify this young man to his cause. Its easy to see he is simply pretending to be beaten, so as to force Anakin into a choice. Otherwise, keep up the good work EvanNOva!! May the force be with you..or, COME with me to the dark side, and forever we will RULE the Galaxy..and finally, bring peace....
If these 2 fought too the death. It will be a slight stalemate but windu will be the victor. His experience speaks for itself. Despite how energetic Luke is. He will never match-up against the the Sith lords in Windu era. Against dooku he gets a pass on that, he underestimated Anakin and got his head chop off. Including Sidious on the mence of his prime when he face maul (maul nearly defeated him due to sidious using the force too outmatch him) and sa'vage. I doubt he will hold his own against Sidious like Windu did when he face him( due too his experience). Including maul himself! Windu face maul, arcourse he had help, but she was knockout before the match even started. But managed too hold his own against maul also. Luke is a great duelist in his right but he's not the best because there's no number one.
hahhahahhahahahahahah. this luke that is fighting in this video is grandmaster Luke. after the emporer was defeated. Grandmaster luke is. stated by luke George to be the most powerful Jedi to ever live and ever will livem
How is that even a contest? If it's Grandmaster Luke we're talking about, then Luke destroyes Windu, Yoda or anyone else, because he is the most powerful force sensitive in the history of star wars universe with his potential fully realized without a conflict and with the midichlorian count of his father. But if it's Return of the Jedi Luke we're talking about, Windu would destroy both Luka and 10 of his clones at the same time, with his eyes closed. Luke at the end of star wars saga was still very unexperienced, young, had little to no training excluding Yoda's week or two of jumping around. Windu is the most powerful jedi of his time exluding only Yoda. He single handedly could fight entire armies of drones with his bare hands and the force. He defeated the famous jedi killer Grievous by a single gesture. He decapitated best bounty hunter in the galaxy with ease. He beat SIDOUS in a lightsaber duel. Well as I said, this is no competition at all. If it's Grandmaster Luke then he wins because he beats all, if it's regular Luke then he loses because Windu would stomp ANYONE besides Grandmaster Luke and Yoda.
+LongLive TrueFreedom "force sensitive in the history of star wars universe " wrong The Father, The Son, and The Daughter are the most powerful force sensitives.
Swifty Wolf Lol no they are not force sensitives, they are not people or anything material, they are more beings made of pure force energy and are more symbolic then actually characters. We can't talk about them speaking about the force, obviously we're talking about characters that can wield force here not beings made of force literally. You could just as well say that midichlorians control the force better then the jedi, well that's technically true but they are bacteria, not characters right? You know what I mean?
Thraxus TheAwesomeness Evan states that Yoda = Luke in terms of force powers.... hm. I'm inclined to say that Luke is slightly stronger than Yoda overall, but I'll let the experts decide on this one.
Luke skywalker is my favorite Jedi but this battle seemed incredibly biased. Mace windu has experience combating a shoto against sora bulq. And in the force abilities category the victory was given to Luke because he had "More variety" but there were no examples given. I still think Luke would win (But only in his prime) but there werent really good reasons for him to win the force abilities of weapons categories. Still liked the video though.
EvanNova95 great vid I would suggest some other Star Wars versus series 1. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Malgus 2. Yoda vs. Lord Kaan 3. Darth Bane vs. Darth Revan 4. Darth Talon vs. Darth Maul 5. Lord Hoth vs. Obi-Wan-Kenobi
I think I've said this, or something like this before, but EvanNova, you do very good versus videos, but your picks for pitting who against who aren't very good. It's canon that Luke is the most powerful Jedi in the Star Wars universe, above Yoda... whom was above Windu, though only slightly. And, if Mace Windu is < Yoda, and Yoda < Luke, there's no point doing this video. Luke would win. Simple as that.
GENERALKENOBI2 Yeah but young Luke from Return of the Jedi wasn't godlike...he was strong in the Force, but he wasn't a god like in the books. Mace would beat him.
this is seriously biased. I mean granted Luke was skilled but some comic material has got to be considered straight up un-canon and I hate that word. but oneness with the force? really. So we're saying Luke became more fluent with the force then Yoda? The Force was Yoda's best friend they took walks together. I'm going with some of these powers Luke gained in the comics as undefined and not applicable
+Silly Siji I agree. This pathetic episode took every weakness which would get Luke killed by Windu and somehow turned them into strengths and reasons Luke would be Windu. This episode was pure BS.
Actually at the time this video was uploaded those comics were part of the legends material making them completely canon and while the vid is biased legends Luke beats out basically anyone
+Sal "Luke had the connection if not more of a connection as Yoda did" Agree. Let's not forget Luke is the Son of the Chosen One, so he likely has a higher Midi-Chlorian count too. And unlike his father, Luke wasn't burned up next to a lava river, so most of his organic Force abilities are still in tact to reach great power. Edit: JediDanD mentioned Midi-Chlorians, and all of a sudden, the millions of voices cried out in terror . . . lol
Dude great video. I love your channel and you inspired me to make my channel. I am a hardcore Star Wars nerd and nobody in my family even knows what the EU is. Here I feel at home. Kinda weird huh? Sure think what you want but I hope every Star Wars fan subs to you dude. Good job. May the force be with you.
Giggity goo Mace has more experience and discipline, Luke has power and youth. Power and youth didnt help Anakin against Obi-Wan so how the hell is it any different with Luke vs Mace lol.
Wxtch Bxtch Luke doesn’t have youth. If you actually watched the video, you’d know that this is GM Luke from legends, and at this point he is (as was stated in the video) 11 years older than Mace. GM Luke wins this pretty decisively in my opinion.
Bruce Jedi Lee lol Windu stale-mated Asajj Ventress using all his skills someone who Luke would destroy and needed an amp to equal Darth Sidious and with Sidious potentially holding back, Luke with an amp defeated an even more powerful Sidious and wasn't even at his prime
wolfmaster7 He did not stale mate her he overwhelmed her. He was only inferior to Yoda and Mace may have been amped but that only bostad his physical abilities, his skill as a fighter was the same as it normally was
Bruce Jedi Lee Luke>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yoda>>>>>>>>>>Mace
This will be one of the times that I will not follow the movies for Luke's abilities unless he is accurately depicted like he is in the books as Grandmaster.
Awesome video. I would like to see other videos where Luke Skywalker goes against other members of the Jedi High Council from the Clone War era. Maybe Luke Skywalker vs Shaak Ti.
Nicholas Wong Agreed. But would like to see a fight nonetheless between the two. lol I would like to see a video on the Old Jedi Order vs the New Jedi Order.
Personally, I think this fight would happen in the same scenario as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader's infamous duel on Mustafar (Luke Skywalker standing in for Obi-Wan and Mace Windu standing in for The newly christened Darth Vader). Luke being the conservative Jedi here, wouldn't attack first. I believe Windu would attack first with a relentless Juyo assault and Luke putting up a nearly i breakable wall of Soresu defense. It probably wouldn't be until Mace expended all of his energy in Juyo that he would start using Vaapad with Luke effectively trying to counter with Djem So parries and counterattacks. The way I think Skywalker would win this would probably be in the same manner his own father first defeated him on Bespin: using a Makashi manuever with his light saber to angle Windu's own lightsaber away and then swiftly cutting his hand off.
Hy again. I see that the creators wanted to made Luke awesome. They indeed succeeded. Now would you do a Luke Skywalker vs Superman video? Somehow it seems fit listening to Luke's skills.
Mace didn't beat Sidious. Early in the duel Sidious had his lightsaber pointing at Mace's chest. Mace also fed off of Anakin's fear which Sidious knew and allowed to bolster Windu further.
Mace Windu was trained a lifetime, if this was a lightsaber battle only Mace Windu would have completely obliterated Luke due to the immense amounts of training he had. Jedi's before Palpatine entered the movies were trained since they were a child.
Ood B'nar vs. Nihilus Luke Skywalker vs. Cade Skywalker, and Anakin Skywalker Kit Fisto vs. Ventress, to the DEATH this time... Luminara vs. Qui Gon? I assume he's in the next season. I apologize if I killed those names. What exactly do you use to edit videos Evan? I am hoping to start a channel soon, and my friend does most of the work in that area... Great video as always, and may the force be with you!
Hey I'm a big fan of your videos I've seen almost every verses video you've made and the only reason I haven't left a comment before is cause haven't side on to TH-cam or have an account until now and I have a few ideas for a few verses episodes and let me know if you like and will do them. Please let me kniw I'm a huge fan!!! 1. Darth Maul vs Jaina Solo Fel 2. Darth Plagueis vs Qui Gon Jinn 3. Darth Revan vs Quinlan Vos 4. Exar Kun vs Mara Jade Skywalker 5. Darth Nihilus vs Yoda 6. Darth Tyranus vs Luke Skywalker
20:31 Although Luke did use his force rage and aggressively smashed through Vader's defence in Return of the Jedi, who could smash/crush bone maybe even steel with his bare hands or with force choke/force grip or force crush, although, the Sith was holding back because he could not live within the dark side enough to kill his own son, since Vader was such a good duelist. Though it's unlikely that Windu could personally hurt his feelings unless he compared him to his father as a threat to the Jedi.
that's not how dun moch works though, nor does goading your opponent. Luke is far more level headed than anakin. He would not give into his rage or the dark side that easily as anakin often did during his time period. Luke has rarely shown fury after the final duel onboard the second death star, and only vader played on luke's fear and love for his sister by threatening to turn her to the dark side in order to find the jedi because luke was hiding his force signature from him. Mace's MO in battle also is not to goad his opponents into drawing on their fury and rage, AT LEAST with dun moch, and mace has shown no ability in using dun moch, so luke would have no trouble with any amount of dun moch. Plus, even if mace did use dun moch, luke, as I said, is far more level headed. He would just likely press whatever attack ignoring the jedi's attempt altogether, and even then, its only a minor advantage, as luke would just recognize the workings of vaapad and calm down
It seems to depend on the writer as to whether a female sith is called a sith lord or a sith lady. In The Old Republic MMORPG Zash was called "Lord Zash" not Lady Zash. Lumiya was called the Dark Lady of the Sith.
"Luke's force powers will always greatly exceed any Jedi or Sith that have been or ever will be created." -George Lucas
Not jar jar binks
true no ones dueling or force powers will ever exceed jar jar's mastery of combat
+Beckett Cater Lucas's no longer part of Star Wars, and his ideas were rejected for good reason.
@@Mentallect and now we got the last jedi and rise of skywalker id like George back
Luke is OP and boring.
In my opinion, Luke Skywalker is the personification of the saying, "A light shines brightest in the dark."
Hope you guys enjoy this Season Finale! Your guys support is what makes it all worth it!
Actually I want to thank you. After some of the crap I've seen and or gone thru thees last couple of weeks, I needed to see a vid like this. So thank you Even Nova and my the force always be with you :)
Well Done....
Thank you EvanNova95. Your videos are always great to watch. I applaud you for taking on a match such as this one. I could not do a match like this because I would be switching my answer every few minuets. LOL May the force be with you, always. :) For a future verses video do you think you could do either Aayla Secura vs Darth Talon or Anakin Skywalker vs Darth Cadeus? Again thank you very much for this spectacular battle.
For Season 4 how about Anakin Skywalker vs Jacen Solo
May the Force be with You Evannova95
It's two years later and i still love watching this one.
Revanxxx1 same
I'll never stop loving this episode, no matter how many times I watch this video.
Still rewatching in 2021.
Lol 6 years later
EU Grandmaster Luke can legitimately casually own just about anyone, save for basically a handful of people.
And he can still beat them, just not as casually.
I would rank Mace Windu among those handful of forcewielders Luke can't just oneshot.
This is a great analysis. For people upset that Mace lost, you do realize that Skywalker is basically a GOD in human form right? Just to be his equal in saber combat makes Mace one of the best Jedi ever.
Luke was everything Anakin should have been
Anakin would've been at least twice as powerful as Luke since Anakin has more Midichlorians
@alex ojideagu and both of them are twice the men Jake would ever be.
The Flash 2024 in terms of temperament and personality
Yeah but Anakin was more powerful
@@TheFlash-je3bl well no anakin wasn't that much stronger in force than luke but yes he was stronger
Great video as always.
Of course I have a differing opinion on Mace Windu with a few points (use of Vaapad and it effectiveness, assessment of Shatterpoint).
For me, physical abilities are not determined by age when it comes to Force users. Or else Dooku would not be able to keep pace with a much younger Anakin and Obi-Wan. Or Master Yoda would not be able to keep pace with Depa Billaba, Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon. One's Force abilities, and by extension, their Force augmentation, determined their physical output. For that reason I would actually give the edge to Luke, but that's just my way of thinking.
Your dueling assessment was very thorough, though I would say Luke could combat Vaapad pretty effectively.
Force abilities was in-depth as well.
Very, very good match up and well handled.
the problem is drawing on the force to augment/Supplement one physical abilities is draining in the same way as any other ability meaning that when pressed or when there focus is broken the augmentation vanishes
Dokku is a prime example of this on invisible hand dooku is described how draining augmenting himself to keep up with Anakin is and this drain in the end left him with nothing but his own Physicality, an old man. this is where physical ability becomes a factor in the Vs.
I actually agree along the lines of Reti4 & Evan's assessment of Windu's capabilities as a whole
I do agree with you on that physical prowess can't be assesed on age. I do believe Windu was more of weapon in a whole. He trained his body to be a weapon for the light and was much more of a warrior compared to Luke. So I give the physical abillities to Mace aswell, And ye! for some reason you seem to dislike or at least don't think very highly of Mace. Eventhough he was such a skilled and powerfull jedi.
DB6195 Actually Dooku was quite capable in his Force augmentation, and it didn't really hamper any of his other abilities. In fact, Yoda says Dooku was in better shape than men half his age in "Dark Rendezvous" which takes places mere months before ROTS. Months prior, Dooku was still contending with (and outclassing) Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.
The situation with the Dooku fight in ROTS is that Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker simply got better. Obi-Wan had become a master of Soresu, while Anakin became a master of Djem So. Dooku could not stand to battle two masters of such forms, which in turn, tired him out. However we know that this is not usually the case for Dooku, as he was already contending on par with Yoda and outmatching Obi and Anakin only months prior:
Anakin and Obi Wan vs Count Dooku [The Clone Wars Season 6]
So I would still be inclined to say that it is one's Force abilities (specifically in augmentation) which informs their physical prowess ultimately. Or else Sidious would not be able to blitz three masters, or Yoda would not be able to fight with the speeds he does.
In the case of Luke and Mace, I would say Luke would actually take a slight advantage because his physical output is far more conservative and his Force augmentation would be more thorough.
Legends Luke Skywalker 1 - 0 Entire Universe
Jeeses99 Luke has this power than can destroy Abeloth.
@@wilmerlubian5088 what power? you have to clarify
Bedlam Spirits, The Ones, Abeloth and Valkorion (possibly) could defeat Luke
Herp de derp, Main character of the original trilogy, must be written broken.
Tired of Luke being OP in legends, it makes it feel like a badly written fanfiction.
@@GoblinWizardry is that salt I sense.
I wish people would stop whining about how, "Legends Luke is Over Powered", I mean, his midichlorian count is the exact same as Anakin's, and he was trained by Yoda, AND he had a great control over the Force. Maybe it's just because I'm a Luke fanboy, but to me, people saying "Legend Luke is OP" is an un-intelligent response to anything.
+MacMustDarf Who cares about what they say I am a Luke fan he is not OP Luke is like the Original Trilogy Luke even in Star Wars Episode Vll
+Mac “Must” Darf We don't use the M word.... What fan are you?

I used the M word for people who like the PT.

I love the versus series I've learned so much. I still listen to one every right to fall asleep too. Still so relaxing after all these years! Never stop Evan!
So Luke kills Mace then heals him.
LOL.
Sequels be like
Luke: thank you master Mindu for that amazing fight. I’ll patch ya right up.

+THEADP I know and now Disney gonna make it even crapper
+Rhodie van der merwe Sad but very true. Lol
Fucking hipsters.
***** EU Luke isnt more powerful than the Father, Son, Daughter. So its not really that unbelievable, and during the processes in which he unlocks these abilities, are shown, and talked through. If you think about it, tons of EU characters were strong like Anakin, but its all explained why, and has depth. Rey is good, out of no where. And it isnt explained. Mind trick out of no where, advanced saber combat, competent force grip. Especially when taking from another opponent, like Kylo, when they were fighting for possession of the saber. Theyre coming up with stuff out of no where. The new canon on Kyber crystals contradicts current "canon" lore. Disney is more retarded than my uncles, cousins, best friends, 9 month old kittens great great grandmothers 2nd cousin twice removed father in law.
I never got into all the bullshit EU stuff, which is basically glorified fan fiction and shit at that.
I felt so vindicated when it was all thrown out as the bullshit it was.
Laughed my ass off at all you clots who cling to this crap like its your actual religion.
I would totally win this fight!!
told ya
Of course you would
Except if you really look at the beginning of Star Wars it's clear as crystal that Luke was on a completly diffrent level than the ordinary force wielders, he was like his father before him, something completly different. His lightsaber aptitide was even greater than Anakins, who himself with 13 years of training surpassed everyone in the order except for yoda, who had 800 years of training and experience. Luke managed to master what someone will never do in 1 year of SELF TRAINING, by pure instinct and going of instructions in Obi Wans jurnals.
Luke has always been one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in galactic History, however unlike Windu he has the force aptitude of enteties to augment his physical attributes by a gigantic degree, Windu would not even be able to react to Luke lol, it's a stomp in all categories where as in the force and all out he can beat him by gesturing.
The prince of darkness that was when luke was 23 now he is 63
@God Can you elaborate?
These series are AWESOME dude - it's a total pleasure and privilege to watch your vids as i find myself actually watching them instead of just listening, as i presume that's not a common occurance. Your analysis is extremely entertaining and your take on unresolved issues - most pleasing ^^ keep up the good work!
Who has the superior ability to yell "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Luke or his dad? :)
+Luke Skywalker Thats sick!
+Luke Skywalker LUKE LUKE have you fount a holocron of the old jeid order(Mace Window,Your Father,Ashoka Tano,Plo Koon,etc)
+Luke Skywalker can i be in the new jeid order also have you fount a Jedi Named Ezra Bridger
+MisterTutor2010 Although Luke has proven a great mastery of turning the word "NO" into a shrieking whine, his father has shown an ability to scream "NO" while shaking an entire room like a magic 8 ball. Clear win for Darth Vader.
*****
you son of a bitch now i want a star wars 8 ball with Vader inside and when you shake he screams NO
Luke is the legend and the chosen one , the prophecy , and the strongest jedi to ever live
I'd love to see Aayla Secura vs Darth Talon next season. There have been a couple of attempts on this pairing, but you and Jensaarai1 are the absolute best at this and I know you'd give this fight the review it deserves. Also, I'd like to see your take on the top 10 Jedi and Underrated Jedi. The Dark Jedi and Sith videos were really good
I fail to see how Vaapad's feeding off of the dark side would be useful in fighting a light sider. It's just a complete non sequitur. It's like saying that heat is the remedy to being cold, and therefore using ice will also warm one up.
I'm in the same boat, vaapad is only useful against opponents fuelling themselves with the dark side, and is not applicable against l Luke, I also think Luke is a better swordsman, and faster. but it was still an amazing video two thumbs up definitely
It's not the case of Vapaad being empowered solely by darkness. At the end, both the Lightside and the Darkside are both parts of THE FORCE. It's a matter of personal philosophies and emotional emphasis that distinguish them.
Vapaad is about taking the full power of the Force that an opponent is giving off and combining it with your own power to channel the complete package against an opponent. Otherwise it would only be a viable method against Dark Jedi and Sith, rather than in sparring matches or combat outside of duelling. Given the magnitude of Skywalker's power and affinity in the Force and his use of it, it would be extremely effective against him.
That really hasn't helped ever against any no one that is not a strong dark sider like Sidous
Geoffrey Edgson I agree
True, but Vaapad as a fighting style alone is still powerful, as it by itself is an extension of Juyo, with an overwhelmingly fast and strong offense, and staunch defense.
Been excited to watch this ever since it was announced. Excellent work yet again, keep it up.
I agree with almost everything said, though I think that Luke has greater large scale manipulations. He and mace both can sweep away armies, but Luke can sweep away vong, who are resistant to force powers.
Hmm how about Darth Vader vs Darth Nihilus? Who is the true ultimate Jedi Hunter, one hunted them so well that they didn't knew who was attaking them, while the other did it so thoroughly that they became a myth, their specializations also put them at odds, Nihilus was.............Decent when it came to lightsaber, but he was but a mere fly in comparison to Vader, Vader was very well balanced when it came to the Force and had a wide variety of tools, but unfortunately was unablet o match the raw destruction that Nihilus was able to call upon, so I really would wanna see who would triumph, variety and flexibility vs raw power and ruthlesness
Well Vader is immune to force drain and is a better light saber duelist. Nihilus lightning wont do much considering he was able to tank star-killer and Darth Sidious lightning.
Kenneth Edema
Vader tolerating Starkiller's force lighting was absolute non-canon bullshit, and he didn't at all tank Sidious' lightning; he was going to die from it if he didn't have Luke take his helmet off and hasten his death. And please explain how Vader is immune to Force drain? Are you talking about in that Wii game or whatever? I really doubt that's canon.
Nihilus is firmly above Vader. Nihilus is OP, and it astonishes me how so few people see that.
1) Vader was able to withstand Sidious lightning for several seconds while they was a opining in his suit ( when Luke cut his hand off) and kill him. 2) he had immunity because Ulic Qel-Droma thought him to resist it in order to beat the dark reaper. You underestimate Vader.
TinyTorah Vader is definitely on top 5 most powerful sith. (Read my comment above)
If Luke has UNLIMTED POWER then it's curtains for poor Mace :)
😂😂😂
Anakin had Unlimited power not Luke
Watch Clone Wars
Anakin shows his power in TV series.
Battlestar Galactica OST, my god.. those were the days, never seen a better sci-fi that takes itself so seriously.
Great job, Evan. Loved this season and I cannot wait for the next one.
I love this video EvanNova!!! Easily the best one you have every made. I only have one concern about your evaluation of their martial skills: Darth Sidious. Mace Windu was able to match Darth Sidious and out-maneuver him to beat him. Skywalker duelled and defeated Darth Sidious on neutral ground is a pure test of their martial abilities and Force Powers. I think this is a decisive factor that makes Luke Skywalker a slightly better duelist than Mace Windu, with the same level of difference as their martial abilities (very slight edge, but still leaving both of them above the master-class level)
Good work you did there. Could you please do a Kreia vs. Yoda-one? I think it would be quite interesting seeing a battle of wisdom, ideals and abilities. Yoda had hundreds of years to learn the light side of the force, but Kreia experienced both light and dark. Please at least think about it :3
Or Satele vs. Yoda
I love how you use the Halo 3: ODST soundtrack. Fits perfectly
every time Luke is put against somebody in one of these VS. videos it always comes down to his force ability to witch the only people that can even get close are Sidious and Yoda.
Luke doesnt enjoy the combat, which would not allow Windu to feed off him. Windu feeds off the Darkness in an opponent, something Luke doesnt really have. AND Luke knows Vaapad, it was in the Great Holocron he discovered in 40 ABY. He is a Master of every form.... Vaapad included, and created his own variations in the process.
Wow I didn't know that
Mace Windu is overrated.
There, I said it. Even after losing the lightsaber duel against Windu fair and square, Palpatine could have flicked him out of the window with just a thought if he wanted to. He was one of the most powerful Sith to ever live.
And at his full potential Luke would DESTROY Windu.
MrImastinker Dude I want some of what you're smoking! Palpatine got his ass handed to him. Anakin bailed him out at the last second.
violatione Palpatine lost the lightsaber duel, absolutely.
But he was much stronger in the Force, and could already predict Anakin's arrival. The lightning duel was so obviously staged, if he wanted he could have blasted Windu out the window with absolutely no effort.
But he's smarter than that. A hell of a lot smarter than Windu, that's for sure. Palpatine killed two birds with one stone. Turning Anakin over to his side by feigning weakness, and eliminating one of the few Jedi who posed any threat to him.
While I will concede that Palpatine was much smarter than Windu, I don't think that Palpatine had it in him to overwhelm Windu with force attacks. Palpatine's MO is to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is evidenced by the fact that he dispatched Windu's colleagues (all of whom were seasoned Jedi masters) in less than 2 seconds. If Palpatine had the ability to win that fight, he would have. No, he lost handily and had to throw a hail Mary to save his plans.
violatione Uh, Palpatine's MO was toying with his victims and making them suffer before killing them. He never rushed things.
And seeing as Palpatine was the most powerful Sith Lord of all time, I'm pretty sure that even if Windu deflected any lightning Palpatine threw at him it wouldn't matter.
A telekinetic shove off the ledge was all it would take. But that's not Palpatine's plan. There was even a moment during their lightsaber duel where Windu had Palpatine's saber pointed straight at his chest. All Palpatine needed to do was lunge forward and Windu would be dead.
But he was just having too much fun, and if he killed Windu then and there he would have no hope of turning Anakin.
Windu never stood a chance, plain and simple.
With Windu feeding off of Sidious' power, the fight would've gone on forever had Sidious not thrown the fight. This is a man who overtook the Republic and turned it into the Empire purely through manipulation. He is no dummy. He allowed himself to be pushed onto the ledge. He realized that with Windus Vapaad and his own limitless well if power that was the dark side, it was a stalemate. So the fight only stopped because Sidious made it. That doesn't mean Windu is weak however and that Sidious beat him. Sidious out thought him.
This is the Luke fans deserve
Jesus, the EU turned Luke into a complete Gary Stew. I'm fine with the idea of him being a powerful Jedi, but the amount of powers they gave him is just ridiculous. This is where these vs series can fall down. It's real easy for a badly written character to win if they've got the writer on their side.
+James Royce-Dawson I agree, in such case with Luke being made so powerful he seems to be like a god. Completely overpowered.
I think it's more interesting personally. Superman sand Thor are OP but that doesn't make them lame. Not in my opinion anyway.
I agree. Windu would defeat Luke in seconds in my opinion the EU is just bullshit for me.
You mean as opposed to the overall practically useless Luke in the movies? The one that only had just enough of the Force for any other kid to imagine themselves in his shoes? The one with almost NO real personality? Right.
+James Royce-Dawson And yet I see people call Starkiller the Gary Stew of Star Wars
I love these!!! keep them going!!! There is a reason you are one of my favorite youtubers!!! :)
Great job on the video. Its easy to see you spent a lot of time and effort putting it together. It was good to see some artwork used that I have seen before, most people just recycle the same 12 images that everyone else already uses.
Agreed! I'm glad he took the time to find some new artwork. Though I do believe it's pointless to have a verses video using Luke. You don't even need to watch the video to know who won.
Well this was again quite obvious. You can't put anything against a god-like charakter like Luke (as he seems to be at this time). However: it was "closer" than expected (it seems the only being who would have a small chance against a god is Mace lol).
In the next season you should do more duels with equally matched characters. Too often I've watched the videos with knowing the result only for taking a look at your arguments. However: it's always a pleasure to listen because your arguments prove a high knowledge and competence and the will to work with an open outcome.
I'm no EU specialist. This stuff is in most cases by far too exaggerated for me. So my wish is to see more duels with movie Jedi. Ki-Adi-Mundi is a very interesting character and deserves taking place in one of the videos as you thankfully did with Oppo Rancisis. I still think Darth Traya deserves a duel. She's at least as intersting as Palpatine. They are very similar in many aspects but still very different.
Don't take this the wrong way, but while I love your videos, I find anything involving Grandmaster Luke Skywalker or Darth Sidious to be pretty much a foregone conclusion. Luke is THE most powerful lightsider in the Star Wars EU, and Sidious is THE most powerful Darksider. The only Sidious matchup I consider reasonable was the Darth Sidious vs Darth Vitiate one, mostly because of Vitiate's hype. Besides that, it seems unfair to pit them against any others, because they are so far beyond their competition.
Good video though.
Krayt can bull doze Vitiate btw
Muad'Dib Jacarutu George Lucas has stated Darth Sidious is the most powerful Sith, and several Expanded Universe sources confirm this, repeatedly referring to Sidious as the most powerful Sith in Galactic history. Technically Darth Caedus and Darth Krayt should be exempt from this as they came after Sidious but I find it very unlikely that they were more powerful than Sidious if guys like Bane, Vader, Exar Kun, Plagueis, Nihilus and Vitiate weren't as powerful as him.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu The problem is that even if the EU claims about Sidious being the most powerful predate Vitiate, they don't mean any less now that Vitiate has appeared (besides which Vitiate is HIGHLY overrated. Vitiate's good, but his lightsaber skills are crap, and while his force abilities are impressive, they're not beyond the scope of guys like Darth Plagueis).
Personally, while DE does showcase WHY Sidious is the strongest Sith, enough EU sources, as well as George Lucas himself have stated Sidious is the alpha Sith, who stands above all others. So he would still be the strongest, even without DE. Hell, Sidious took down Yoda. That alone should show how insanely powerful he is.
Besides. Even if the next movie doesn't have DE elements.... yes. Sidious is still the most powerful. The only other Sith in the Disney Canon are Vader, Maul, Dooku and Bane. Bane's utterly featless in the Disney Canon, and Sidious is much more powerful than Vader, Maul and Dooku, so he'd still be the strongest unless Disney introduces a new Sith, stronger than he is.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu True enough, but Sidious grew in power after Plagueis. By RotJ, let alone Dark Empire, I figure even his former master couldn't have defeated him.
Problem with (Disney Canon) Darth Plagueis, is like (Disney Canon) Darth Bane he's utterly featless so we can't say that he was stronger than Palpatine because we have nothing to gauge him by.
Muad'Dib Jacarutu Technically true, but in a comparative sense it means Plagueis has nothing to match up with Sidious. Sidious has definable feats which are quite impressive, Plagueis (under Disney Canon) has nothing with which he can use to measure up with Sidious. Sidious beat Yoda in a fight and killed three Jedi masters in seconds. Plagueis has no feats under the Disney Canon that he can use to match up with that.
So yeah. Unless the new movies introduce a new Sith that is stronger than Palpatine-- even if they ignore Dark Empire (which not gonna lie, I hope they do that series was poorly told), Sidious is still the strongest Sith, because there are no Sith under the Disney Canon that can be proven to be stronger than him.
The EU was trashed so Luke goes back to being a pansy until the new movies come out. Mace Windu wins.
shut your face! The video is using GM Luke though even though it'll be overwritten by the end of the year.
+TheNuisanceBird we dont know how strong look is now it has been 30 years he has fount a holocron of the old jedi olrder during 19 bby of even 4000 bby so yeah he is probs a grandmaster now

That was a Awesome vs video, good job EvanNova95 and may the force be with you always.
If these two were to somehow meet on the battlefield, for some reason I imagine it almost going like Jet Li vs Donnie Yen in Hero. Maybe they'd both be hit by a Force vision of how the fight *could* play out. And it's perhaps the most spectacular dual the Galaxy could ever witness. But once the vision ends it ultimately leads to only one definitive sword strike from each opponent. And though very close to the mark, Master Windu would still find himself impaled with an emerald blade.
Luke should be banned from the Versus series. He is fucking superman, literally no one can beat him.
Even George Lucas said it XD
grandmaster luke that is haha
Abeloth could. And did. That's why I hate her. She's stupid and dumb and op.
well i just want to see coments that disagree with luke's win, using the exuse of "lucas dont know a shit" i want to have an argument with them and say that he is the one that doesnt know a shit saing that
+susumu07 well they are even on the movie (but i think vader is stronger JUST than palpatine) but the difference is a really really really a lot but a lot but a lot smaller than the others like the other force users are a mach to them and stand a chance but wouldnt be the "PROBALLY victorius"
Good video like it very much but as u know George Lucas himself has said no new jedi or sith is more powerful then Luke Skywalker so Luke wins no mather who he face in versus series.
Caedus came close to matching him blow for blow in Legacy of the Force, but Luke nearly killed him nonetheless.
Man they really did Luke dirty in the new movies :(
You know what I REALLY want to see? Darth Vader vs. Darth Malgus.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Evannova95 i loved this video i cant wait to see what you have for season 4 your videos are my escape ^-^
"Mace Windu is 11 years younger than Luke Skywalker"
You are pulling two people from two separate points in time. (Mace Windu was dead before Luke Skywalker was even born) They can be whatever age you want them to be. No matter how justified you think the decision was to make one of them older, it was a flawed one if you are using it to give one of them an advantage. (Even a tiny one)
actually I don't think windu is dead, but that's a theory I will be working on
"all but decimate"
No, they quite literally did decimate the Jedi order.
Somehow, I had a feeling that Luke would triumph over Mace. He reached his full magnitude of the Force, unlike his dad before Mustafar.
So I take it that Qui-Gon Jinn will be in Season 4?
Yes
EvanNova95 Knew it! I hope you can read the full scope of his abilities in the _Jedi Apprentice_ series as well as the comics and _Cloak of Deception_.
EvanNova95
Sweet!
Luke stomps. Dominating UnuThul and fighting Abeloth are out of Mace's league.
Great analysis, i figured it would all come down to luke's power in the force. For your next video i'd like to see Obi Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Malgus.
You know now with the new movie, their going to make Rey the most powerful Jedi in the lore now. Which is pretty sad since to me she doesnt deserve it since everything is just laid out for her by Disney where as Luke had to work for it and still was only strong enough to fight Vader.
So true man, so true
Well that's how the force works, it just gives random amounts of power to different people.
+Torente32 And that is why I cannot stand Rey. She is a Mary Sue and that's coming from a girl.
+Saphiria TheBlueDragonKnight I totally agree. Shes was terribly written character, same with Fin.
Why is Rey a Mary Sue? This isn't an question meant for criticism, I'm just wondering why people think of her as one.
Is there anyone that can bring down Luke "Godslayer" Skywalker?
No
Nope. Not if he's in his GM incarnation and you want a single opponent who's not one of the One's or a God to beat him.
Not alone
Yes there are. Such as the father, Daugheter, Son and Abeloth are better then Luke. Luke only won abeloth because Abeloth used only her dark side power while she mastered light side as well
*****
So god entities, basically. And a entire planet of force-resistant nonsense.
exar kun vs Darth Krayt. Battle of the Niman users
Exar would win.
Krayt obliterates Kun
Kun is strong but Krayt is stronger.
Luke was able to persist as a force ghost for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. We know this is no mean feat from the very beginning of the Thrawn trilogy.Just wanna point this out.
What an amazing episode, bro. Thanks again.
can you do something with Ki-Adi-Mundi next season. I read through his database and there is a lot about him, but no one has done anything with him yet, seems like a good option.
While I won't be featuring him in Season 4 I have recently made plans to use him in Season 5. I know its a bit of a long wait but I hope its something.
wow you plan really far ahead which i guess is a good thing.
caos1925 Considering how much work goes into these videos its kinda a necessity to be prepared ahead of time.
Yeah Luke Skywalker would win
Darth zannah vs darth maul! I think it would be a really great fight
That would be great! Another immovable object versus a martial hurricane!
Quite a good match-up, but I think Maul would win. While Maul isn't in the same class as Bane, and therefore wouldn't easily overpower her in a lightsaber duel, I still think that would be the eventual outcome (Maul outdueling her)... because yes, Zannah was a master of Soresu, but she was never the level of master Obi-Wan was with it. And as far as Zannah's sith sorcery, keep in mind she was only able to use her dark side tendrils on Ambria, a dark side nexus.
Maul winning is just my opinion, and a hastily-made one at that. I would still very much love to see EvanNova or someone else do Zannah vs. Maul.
TinyTorah Wah? Darth Zannah would own every Sith in the movies except Vader/Sidious.
Dark side tendrils were one small part of her sorcery.
*****
Debatable. Count Dooku is a perfect counterexample.
And yes, she knew other Sith sorcery, but as far as what was presented of her abilities in Sith sorcery, besides her one-time use of dark side tendrils, she just used Sith sorcery to essentially mess with people's minds.
TinyTorah You can't blame Zannah for not having her character be explored lol. After we're well aware of her ability to mess with people's mind she says in inner monologue in the third book that she has learned many new and powerful forms of sith sorcery.
I flicked through the book to get the exact quote, "In addition to the tomes her master had provided, Zannah had sought out her own sources of hidden sith knowledge over the years. Practicing in secret, she had progressed far beyond Bane's expectations, learning new spells to unleash the dark side in ways he had never even imagined'.
That doesn't sound to me like she only knows one other ability apart from the highly dependent upon surroundings dark side tendrils. Maybe she could have used the dark side within Darth Bane to create a weaker version of the tendrils.
Guess we'll never know ;).
Also, when Bane resisted her sorcery, bare in mind that she had tripped over an obstacle (another dependent on surroundings thing, these things do happen and should not be discounted, Bane didn't say "oh my, dear lady, you have fallen over, allow me to help you up", he took full advantage) and as such hadn't been able to secretly use the mind bending sorcery she had planned to use out of seemingly nowhere. She had to do a fully obvious attack on bane's mind. If there had been no mound for her to trip over, the battle may have ended then and there. She could've swooped in and ended his life with her lightsaber for the quick victory.
love you have Halo ODST music good video btw
Love your vids, just one thing you refer to a lot, which I might point out is wrong. When Mace Windu beat Darth Sidious, you must know that the Sith Lord let him win. IF you look at the battle and the situation, he was putting on a complete act at the end of that combat. He needed to have the appearance he was beaten infront of Anakin, which at that time, was still deciding which way he was going to go as far as sides. I think Darth Sidious could have defeated mace almost at will, later shown how well he did against Yoda, but he let himself be beaten in that fight so he could garner help from Anakin. He knew if he appeared to be beaten, Anakin would step in and help, and hence, solidify this young man to his cause. Its easy to see he is simply pretending to be beaten, so as to force Anakin into a choice. Otherwise, keep up the good work EvanNOva!! May the force be with you..or, COME with me to the dark side, and forever we will RULE the Galaxy..and finally, bring peace....
+AussieSparrow Jack When Luke beat Vader, Vader let his son win.
If these 2 fought too the death. It will be a slight stalemate but windu will be the victor. His experience speaks for itself. Despite how energetic Luke is. He will never match-up against the the Sith lords in Windu era. Against dooku he gets a pass on that, he underestimated Anakin and got his head chop off. Including Sidious on the mence of his prime when he face maul (maul nearly defeated him due to sidious using the force too outmatch him) and sa'vage. I doubt he will hold his own against Sidious like Windu did when he face him( due too his experience). Including maul himself! Windu face maul, arcourse he had help, but she was knockout before the match even started. But managed too hold his own against maul also. Luke is a great duelist in his right but he's not the best because there's no number one.
hahhahahhahahahahahah. this luke that is fighting in this video is grandmaster Luke. after the emporer was defeated. Grandmaster luke is. stated by luke George to be the most powerful Jedi to ever live and ever will livem
luke was also stated to have the same force potential as Anakin. and he was brought up to the highest form. aka making him the best force user ever.
TomsClashOfClans Don't leave Cadues out the picture. He was on the same level as Luke
+Brett Jackson not really to close. as Lucas said Luke is the most powerful
Bruh, Luke literally defeated a stronger Palpatine, even before his prime.
How is that even a contest? If it's Grandmaster Luke we're talking about, then Luke destroyes Windu, Yoda or anyone else, because he is the most powerful force sensitive in the history of star wars universe with his potential fully realized without a conflict and with the midichlorian count of his father. But if it's Return of the Jedi Luke we're talking about, Windu would destroy both Luka and 10 of his clones at the same time, with his eyes closed. Luke at the end of star wars saga was still very unexperienced, young, had little to no training excluding Yoda's week or two of jumping around. Windu is the most powerful jedi of his time exluding only Yoda. He single handedly could fight entire armies of drones with his bare hands and the force. He defeated the famous jedi killer Grievous by a single gesture. He decapitated best bounty hunter in the galaxy with ease. He beat SIDOUS in a lightsaber duel. Well as I said, this is no competition at all. If it's Grandmaster Luke then he wins because he beats all, if it's regular Luke then he loses because Windu would stomp ANYONE besides Grandmaster Luke and Yoda.
See this guy gets it In the movies windu would kill luke no sweat but In the books luke would be windu
+LongLive TrueFreedom Windu would die at the hands of *coughs* Vader.
+LongLive TrueFreedom "force sensitive in the history of star wars universe " wrong The Father, The Son, and The Daughter are the most powerful force sensitives.
Swifty Wolf Lol no they are not force sensitives, they are not people or anything material, they are more beings made of pure force energy and are more symbolic then actually characters. We can't talk about them speaking about the force, obviously we're talking about characters that can wield force here not beings made of force literally. You could just as well say that midichlorians control the force better then the jedi, well that's technically true but they are bacteria, not characters right? You know what I mean?
LongLive TrueFreedom Force-sensitive denoted anyone with Force power, latent or active
Hey Evan, do you think Luke is stronger than Yoda, or are they equal? Sabers, force abilities or in overall.
Yoda would wreck luke in my opinion
Thraxus TheAwesomeness Evan states that Yoda = Luke in terms of force powers.... hm.
I'm inclined to say that Luke is slightly stronger than Yoda overall, but I'll let the experts decide on this one.
Thraxus TheAwesomeness
in terms of force ability Luke is equal to Yoda but he can overcome that whit stronger fighting stile.
luke becomes the most powerful force user to ever exist. Skywalkers are op
Lewis well Luke is a god
Another excellent comparison. Keep them coming. I love this stuff!
Your videos are so awesome I really appreciate you making them
Btw, Windu aint dead XD
Something with Caedus in it!
Or,...I just thought of one: Leia vs Darth Zannah.
Luke skywalker is my favorite Jedi but this battle seemed incredibly biased. Mace windu has experience combating a shoto against sora bulq. And in the force abilities category the victory was given to Luke because he had "More variety" but there were no examples given. I still think Luke would win (But only in his prime) but there werent really good reasons for him to win the force abilities of weapons categories. Still liked the video though.
Then if you think Mace would woop his ass too...just set your death battle up with 2 other combatants
Luke can't beat little Anni
Usually, your versus are decent, but this one was really good. Nice job, man.
EvanNova95 great vid I would suggest some other Star Wars versus series
1. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Malgus
2. Yoda vs. Lord Kaan
3. Darth Bane vs. Darth Revan
4. Darth Talon vs. Darth Maul
5. Lord Hoth vs. Obi-Wan-Kenobi
I wanna see Luke vs Exar kun
Luke vs Darth Bane
Luke vs Nagga shadow
Luke vs emperor Valkorion
Luke vs Satele Shan
Luke vs Revan
Luke vs Vaylin
+Manny Tawo I want to see Luke vs Exar Kun too, but I think that they may have technically already fought in one of the Jedi Academy games.
I think I've said this, or something like this before, but EvanNova, you do very good versus videos, but your picks for pitting who against who aren't very good. It's canon that Luke is the most powerful Jedi in the Star Wars universe, above Yoda... whom was above Windu, though only slightly. And, if Mace Windu is < Yoda, and Yoda < Luke, there's no point doing this video. Luke would win. Simple as that.
TinyTorah power doesnt always mean victory, as we saw with Obiwan vs Anakin. Luke would lose against Mace.
GENERALKENOBI2 The books are a whole separate universe. Luke is OP in the books. I like to stick to the movies.
GENERALKENOBI2 Yeah but young Luke from Return of the Jedi wasn't godlike...he was strong in the Force, but he wasn't a god like in the books. Mace would beat him.
GENERALKENOBI2 oh oops lol, you replied to me weeks after I posted that comment so I forgot ha.
Exar kun vs Darth Caedus
caedus
definitely caedus
It would be like two minutes
Yeah you're right
Exar and magus vs caedus
this is seriously biased. I mean granted Luke was skilled but some comic material has got to be considered straight up un-canon and I hate that word. but oneness with the force? really. So we're saying Luke became more fluent with the force then Yoda? The Force was Yoda's best friend they took walks together. I'm going with some of these powers Luke gained in the comics as undefined and not applicable
+Silly Siji I agree. This pathetic episode took every weakness which would get Luke killed by Windu and somehow turned them into strengths and reasons Luke would be Windu. This episode was pure BS.
Luke had the connection if not more of a connection as Yoda did
Actually at the time this video was uploaded those comics were part of the legends material making them completely canon and while the vid is biased legends Luke beats out basically anyone
+Sal "Luke had the connection if not more of a connection as Yoda did" Agree. Let's not forget Luke is the Son of the Chosen One, so he likely has a higher Midi-Chlorian count too.
And unlike his father, Luke wasn't burned up next to a lava river, so most of his organic Force abilities are still in tact to reach great power.
Edit: JediDanD mentioned Midi-Chlorians, and all of a sudden, the millions of voices cried out in terror . . . lol
Amazing thanks for such great work!
Loved the video man. You helped me really get into the eu
luke skywalker isnt that strong. Especially if you compare them with the aspects that we have seen in the movies Mace windu could destroy luke
yes we know
Mace windu any day
*facepalm*
+eric moran Well, if you dont include the EU and take the Luke from ROTJ then he wouldnt stand a chance against Mace Windu.
Grand Master Yoda VS Grand Master Luke Skywalker
Hullopification yoda
Hullopification Antoine bandele already did that vedio
Both in their prime would be sick. Especially since we never really have seen Yoda in his prime.
Dude great video. I love your channel and you inspired me to make my channel. I am a hardcore Star Wars nerd and nobody in my family even knows what the EU is. Here I feel at home. Kinda weird huh? Sure think what you want but I hope every Star Wars fan subs to you dude. Good job. May the force be with you.
Another amazing video! I honestly did not know that Luke was THAT strong.
Yeah, no. Mace Windu is better at combat and related things than Skywalker.
Lucas said Luke is the most powerful Jedi in the franchise. So Master Windu lost this debate.
John Reeves No.
luke tears up mace in 1 strike of a lightsaber
Giggity goo Mace has more experience and discipline, Luke has power and youth. Power and youth didnt help Anakin against Obi-Wan so how the hell is it any different with Luke vs Mace lol.
Wxtch Bxtch Luke doesn’t have youth. If you actually watched the video, you’d know that this is GM Luke from legends, and at this point he is (as was stated in the video) 11 years older than Mace. GM Luke wins this pretty decisively in my opinion.
Luke wins with little effort
Mace matches him as a duelist and can hold his own with the force
Bruce Jedi Lee lol Windu stale-mated Asajj Ventress using all his skills someone who Luke would destroy and needed an amp to equal Darth Sidious and with Sidious potentially holding back, Luke with an amp defeated an even more powerful Sidious and wasn't even at his prime
wolfmaster7 He did not stale mate her he overwhelmed her. He was only inferior to Yoda and Mace may have been amped but that only bostad his physical abilities, his skill as a fighter was the same as it normally was
Bruce Jedi Lee Luke>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yoda>>>>>>>>>>Mace
wolfmaster7 As a force user yes but not as a duelist.
Darth Bane Vs. Luke Skywalker for the next vid! You're narrations and break downs are awesome!
This will be one of the times that I will not follow the movies for Luke's abilities unless he is accurately depicted like he is in the books as Grandmaster.
Awesome video. I would like to see other videos where Luke Skywalker goes against other members of the Jedi High Council from the Clone War era. Maybe Luke Skywalker vs Shaak Ti.
Luke was stated as the strongest Jedi next to Yoda so Luke wins with a flick of the force
Nicholas Wong Agreed. But would like to see a fight nonetheless between the two. lol I would like to see a video on the Old Jedi Order vs the New Jedi Order.
VERY NICELY DONE! Dude you've leveled up!
Personally, I think this fight would happen in the same scenario as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader's infamous duel on Mustafar (Luke Skywalker standing in for Obi-Wan and Mace Windu standing in for The newly christened Darth Vader). Luke being the conservative Jedi here, wouldn't attack first. I believe Windu would attack first with a relentless Juyo assault and Luke putting up a nearly i breakable wall of Soresu defense. It probably wouldn't be until Mace expended all of his energy in Juyo that he would start using Vaapad with Luke effectively trying to counter with Djem So parries and counterattacks. The way I think Skywalker would win this would probably be in the same manner his own father first defeated him on Bespin: using a Makashi manuever with his light saber to angle Windu's own lightsaber away and then swiftly cutting his hand off.
Hy again. I see that the creators wanted to made Luke awesome. They indeed succeeded. Now would you do a Luke Skywalker vs Superman video? Somehow it seems fit listening to Luke's skills.
Mace didn't beat Sidious. Early in the duel Sidious had his lightsaber pointing at Mace's chest. Mace also fed off of Anakin's fear which Sidious knew and allowed to bolster Windu further.
Mace Windu was trained a lifetime, if this was a lightsaber battle only Mace Windu would have completely obliterated Luke due to the immense amounts of training he had. Jedi's before Palpatine entered the movies were trained since they were a child.
I love your youtube channel and the next video you should make is Satele Shan vs Exar Khun
Ood B'nar vs. Nihilus
Luke Skywalker vs. Cade Skywalker, and Anakin Skywalker
Kit Fisto vs. Ventress, to the DEATH this time...
Luminara vs. Qui Gon? I assume he's in the next season.
I apologize if I killed those names.
What exactly do you use to edit videos Evan? I am hoping to start a channel soon, and my friend does most of the work in that area... Great video as always, and may the force be with you!
Don't worry, you spell in Swahili better than I can (If that is Swahili)
Fantastic video! :)
Nice job! One thing you should mention is the will to resist the dark side. Other than that. really impressed with the amount of knowledge portrayed.
Great video dude.
Hey I'm a big fan of your videos I've seen almost every verses video you've made and the only reason I haven't left a comment before is cause haven't side on to TH-cam or have an account until now and I have a few ideas for a few verses episodes and let me know if you like and will do them. Please let me kniw I'm a huge fan!!!
1. Darth Maul vs Jaina Solo Fel
2. Darth Plagueis vs Qui Gon Jinn
3. Darth Revan vs Quinlan Vos
4. Exar Kun vs Mara Jade Skywalker
5. Darth Nihilus vs Yoda
6. Darth Tyranus vs Luke Skywalker
Luke destroys. It's a mismatch.
20:31 Although Luke did use his force rage and aggressively smashed through Vader's defence in Return of the Jedi, who could smash/crush bone maybe even steel with his bare hands or with force choke/force grip or force crush, although, the Sith was holding back because he could not live within the dark side enough to kill his own son, since Vader was such a good duelist. Though it's unlikely that Windu could personally hurt his feelings unless he compared him to his father as a threat to the Jedi.
that's not how dun moch works though, nor does goading your opponent. Luke is far more level headed than anakin. He would not give into his rage or the dark side that easily as anakin often did during his time period. Luke has rarely shown fury after the final duel onboard the second death star, and only vader played on luke's fear and love for his sister by threatening to turn her to the dark side in order to find the jedi because luke was hiding his force signature from him. Mace's MO in battle also is not to goad his opponents into drawing on their fury and rage, AT LEAST with dun moch, and mace has shown no ability in using dun moch, so luke would have no trouble with any amount of dun moch. Plus, even if mace did use dun moch, luke, as I said, is far more level headed. He would just likely press whatever attack ignoring the jedi's attempt altogether, and even then, its only a minor advantage, as luke would just recognize the workings of vaapad and calm down
Nice vs video Evan real cool
It seems to depend on the writer as to whether a female sith is called a sith lord or a sith lady. In The Old Republic MMORPG Zash was called "Lord Zash" not Lady Zash. Lumiya was called the Dark Lady of the Sith.
