It would between stopping time and moving a black hole. Can you do the force ability art of the small? It's a pretty underrated ability change the properties in molecules, which was once used to give healing properties to tears or something toxic. Art of the Small was also used to camouflage the presence of the Force within its user, allowing them to hide their presence from their foes.
That’s actually a pretty good comparison. They both even have the whole “true aspirational hero” thing going on personality wise. And just like GA Superman, Grandmaster Luke Skywalker did help beat a crazy godlike being and also wasn’t afraid to use violence against villains (Edit: By violence I mean lethal violence)

I’m aware, but I wasn’t just comparing feats lol. I was also talking about some pieces of characterization as well. Which was what my original comment was trying to say.
Luke didn't always win, that's what made it so special, He needed Han, Chewie and Leia etc. Even with his new powers he still relies on them a lot in the books but he is pretty indestructible. The difference is we saw him "grow" to that point through the stories and books. We saw his trials and tribulations, his sacrifices, his failings.

No, he needs to stay dead and weak and we need to move on to actual interesting characters. There’s thousands of years of stuff in the SW universe and most of it is more interesting than ‘I was born OP because people are shit at writing’ characters.
Well in the comic Luke learn all Jedi text even he learn stuff in the prequel even there’s a book that explained luke point of view on all the Jedi in the prequel so basically he aleready learn all of them , so in TLJ luke was a broken man it’s like he didn’t know what to do .

Legends Luke: leveling armies with his force push and lightsaber skills, moving black holes, walking on lava while fighting a giant creature, and using electric judgement Canon Luke: gets tired and dies from making a force projection
Disney sucks shit. They showed Palpatine and Yoda more powerful than other is canon, They did not have the GUTS to show Luke is more powerful than Rey.
@@ATH-camCommentator true, but considering what he did to the most powerful beings in the entire Star Wars lore I’d say he’d take on sidious fairly easily even when he wasn’t quite at his peak
I can just imagine Luke and Anakin's conversation Luke: oh hey dad Anakin: hi Luke: what are you doing Anakin: nothing just roaming as a force ghost talking to Obi Wan about the high ground, one of the most powerful force moves Luke: oh today I walked on Lava Anakin: WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Edit: thx for the likes! its the mot I've ever gotten
Luke in Legends was perfect the way he was. One of the things I loved was the more powerful he became, the more knowledge he attained, the more humility he displayed. Also, Anakin almost consumed by lava. Luke walks on that shit. Greatest character ever. Luke was feared by Palpatine, who said he could destroy him & Vader, the two strongest force users alive not named Yoda. & Disney shit all over him.
It was on purpose. Disney/Hollywood is taking down all our heroes. Social engineering at its finest. - Luke Skywalker - Rocky Balboa - Terminator: Arnold Schwarzenegger - Dr. Who - Ghost Busters - Oceans 11-13 - Tony Stark ("You can rest now.") - Bond - Batman (Batwoman)
@@IndianaJoe0321 not true according to the EU. He mastered all 7 classical forms of lightsaber combat and invented the 3 rings of defense which was the forms taught in the NJO and had advanced knowledge of more than a dozen other martial arts forms.
Well it fits his character more rewatch the originals seeing his failed padawan kill and destroy everything he had yeah luke skywalker was Alr in the the last jedi
I've not read or researched a lot of Luke outside of the film's because I hated him in the film's. He was Petty, winey and barely did a thing. I always saw him as the inspiration Anakin needed to turn good again, not much else. It's just been recently that I've been curious enough to learn more about the real Luke.
What made me love Luke's character so much in the Legends books and comics was that, even though he started his training a decade and a half late, he was so hungry for knowledge, but never for power. In his pursuit of the Truth, he unwittingly became a tool of the Force, a literal force for good in the galaxy. He struggled at times with guilt, with uncertainty, and even for a short time, with the Dark Side, but he always put others first. He never quit, never stopped trying to do the right thing, and never stopped learning. As corny as that all sounds, he was the epitome of a hero. Disney Luke is a sad, sad shadow of what he could, and should have been, and the result of people who don't believe in ideals (or even Star Wars in general, for that matter), but rather equity.
Nirawit Karnjanasomwong the only problem with the new movies is disney and their special ability to fuck up everything they do, the fights are unrealistic asf considering a lightsaber can cut through steel with ease and somehow no one is getting dismembered, disfigured or crippled throughout all movies, who tf wants to tell me a pseudo clone trooper who never even touched a light”SWORD” before, can keep up with someone like kylo ren in a fight for even 1 sec, he got his back slashed open and somehow he was just fine after that, same goes with ray, her little “training” sequence they showed is based on swinging it around, nobody showed her how to do anything? And can we just shortly talk about how supreme leader snoke the badass main antagonist who looks like he’d be a few hundred years old died because he got shish kebobed by his traitorous apprentice, so fucking retarded. Also the main characters are a woman, a black guy and a hispanic guy, why? Literally only for representation, which is fine yk but I’m not going to accept some j.k rowling type of bs where they introduce e.g revan and make him have a secret gay relationship with malak or something.
Yeah, this is my biggest problem with Disney’s Canon as a whole. Grandmaster Luke Skywalker is the Strongest Jedi/Force User that ever lived in the EU, who could basically freeze Life itself to a Standstill & play with Black Holes. But in Disney’s Current Canon, He allows the Jedi Temple to fall to a Single Soy-Boy, who isn’t even a Jedi Knight at that, and instead chooses to run away & let the Galaxy suffer once again at the hands of the First Order.
Why animated. Get a live action series going on. If Disney marvel can do it with Loki Wandavision and winter solider. Why not starwars extended. we already have the mandalorian with plans for others to hopefully come. Why not get the legends of Skywalker as a live action series. In the style of the mandalorian damn that would be so badass!
Legends: "you were supposed to USE the EU legends not destroy them! Make it canon in the universe not leave it in darkness! You were my brother Disney, and I loved you.." Disney: "I HATE YOU!!"
There is so much bullshit in legends too though. If they made it all canon it would ruin whatever restraint was used in the originals. Hell, isn't there a part where Luke fucks a force ghost that possessed the body of a young Jedi/Padawan? Why the fuck would you want that included? Why would you want people so powerful they can manipulate space, time, and black holes? Where the FUCK would that even fit in. Normal people would be literally worthless. Legends needs to stay as an alternative universe it is the only way it fits in the original narrative Lucas went with in the movies. If Palps can do half the shit he pulled off in the legends than none of the originals needed to play out. Dude could have took on all of the Rebels (film version) by him self. What the fuck is any non-force-sensitive character going to do?
JUST A FAN so basically her writing is shitty, I don’t hate on the sequel trig but the most frustrating aspect of it is Rey’s ability to become the most powerful Jedi with a snap of the fingers. That really pisses me off, the CHOSEN ONE Anakin Skywalker trained for a decade to achieve his power and Rey is a spit in the face to all the true Jedi that trained and mediated for years.
@@harrythedirty4256 you do realize her massive leap in power was explained in the book right? She basically leached all of kylo rens training from his mind when he tried to link with hers during an interrogation and messed up. Shes nowhere near as strong as luke. Shes not a prodigy either. Everyone else worked and studied for power. She got the cliff note version and skipped ahead. Thats why she has a few small abilities but knows nothing about the force until she meets luke and got the jedi text
@@harrythedirty4256 yep that is just lazy the whole point of learning is that it takes years if not decades of making mistakes and learning from them which rey doesn't even do, all rey is is a force sensitive person with a lightsaber, with no training at all, even anakin spent 10 years at the jedi temple, and even then he wasn't as good as he could be
So was Obi-Wan's. I assure you if the Prequels came out first and people actually loved them and Obi-Wan, they would be outraged to see him do so little and die by basically giving up. Or that's how the fans will interpret it as just as they interpret Luke's death in the worst possible way. Obi-Wan was a stagnant character in 4 who died half way through, Luke was a dynamic character who died at the end of 8, 2 movies into the trilogy. Way better treatment and considering the formula Disney was using, he lasted surprisingly long, only giving the new characters one movie to stand on their own.
@@kungolaf4499 Firstly, your using whataboutism to try and prove your point. Secondly, Obi-Wan wanted to die to prove a point to Luke and make him despise Vader enough to go and kill him later. Obi-wan died with a purpose in mind and showed up as a voice in the deathstar run and later as a force ghost in ESB. While Luke died over force skype while spitting that bs for how the jedi must end while the sith are killing/taking over everything.
Luke: Hey dad today I walked on lava and killed a Lava Worm Force Ghost Ani: What?!?! Luke: Yeah I used the force. Force Ghost ani: This is outrageous it’s unfair!! Luke: Why??? Force Ghost ani: How come none of the Jedi ever told me about this when I needed it
Imagine Obi Wan, Yoda and Anakin were watching some Luke tv in the force and Luke starts walking on lava and Yoda and Obi Wan look at Anakin and Anakin say: oh fuck off
There is so much garbage writing in "legends" that scrapping much of it was a fine and dandy idea. Luke became ridiculously over-powered, half the books were just terrible, the 'Vong was about the dumbest idea for a villain ever conceived - Good riddance to so very much of it.
Yeah Legends luke is so much better. Not only more powerful, but more character development. And quite honestly the sequels are a disgrace to the franchise.
@@theoe354 Actually it's true. Skywalker descendants are naturally powerful, due to Anakin. Luke didnt have quite the level of midochlorians. But he was relatively close.
Luke:Oh come on it wasn't that hard I just use the force to create heat shield around my boots and the rest of my body And then I simply walked on the volcanic slightly melting Rock( also made the rock move to my feet that I walked hardening it) It's very easy when you think about it like that Padme: and this is why teaching him science is a good idea Specifically to figure out how to say fuck you to it
Luke:I may have also figured out how to firebend ( proceeds to do when agni ki move laughing as he does it an insane degree) Mara :Oh come on Farm Boy quit it with the wizard Joker impression and let's get a move on
I'm going to say yes, this is the Luke Skywalker we all would have loved to see in the movies despite knowing he would always win. The reason is simple, it's just like the Avengers movies or even Superman, we know they are eventually going to win and save the day, the story is in the "how" and what they must sacrifice in order to do so.
Legends Luke could manipulate artificial BLACK HOLES and yet in Canon he got tired and died from using the doppelganger/force projection ability. Also 3:23 so force quicksilver.
When you can move black holes then it’s time to reboot. He might as well be Superman without kryptonite as a weakness. This is why EU stuff doesn’t work in movies. You need the human element that a hero can die at anytime. Or else where’s the drama.
@@revansecofreak394 Well the Mandalorian is great, Jedi fallen order is great, season 7 of clone wars is jaw-dropping, rebels is mediocre but not bad and I hear squadrons is pretty good too so not everything that has come out of Disney period is bad but I want the sequels to be decannonized
@@its_dey_mate yeah I’ve seen mandalorian season one. Good enough to keep watching Atleast. I heard clone wars was good but I couldn’t get past season 4. Just lost interest. I am hopeful about squadrons though. Looks pretty sweet
He wasn't the only Jedi. One of the Jedi Grandmasters from the past had inhereted telepathic abilities before becoming a Jedi, other had telekinetc abilities that surpassed that of Yoda.
EU Luke: Can swing black holes around like a tether ball, and emanate pure force light. Disney's Luke: Breaks and withers under the emotional pressure of a child's tantrum.
Nephews tantrum > having his childhood family be killed, finding out his father was his greatest and most hated enemy, and having all of his close mentors die, but still remaining mentally strong (for the most part).
I mean "tantrum" is a little light, he tried to kill said child then that child butchered his fellow students and Lukes pupils and burned the nascent jedi order to the ground. He failed so completely that the thought "maybe I should just stop trying to fix things" wouldn't be unreasonable.
@@Dream146 Well it was because of the fact Luke tried to murder him. He was a confused teen. Still easy to talk to. I mean damn even Han almost brought him back.
That's what I said. My kids were pissed after reading and seeing him they were like they couldn't wait for the last Jedi. They wanted to leave as soon as say him whining. They were like this isn't Luke. WTF we came for this. By the way 16 10 and 8 are their ages. So if they can see how come Disney can't?
absolutely agree with this, just like making superman a bitch without his powers still a genetically engineered super human but anyone can kick his ass as long as kryptonite was around. Disney equals lukes kryptonite
Derrick Walters source? Yoda at his peak was probably stronger and a fully fulfilled Anakin would be 3x what Luke is in Legends but this sadly never happened
@@IndianaJoe0321 It just occured to me that every cis white man in the film is either a washed out failure or a villain. Or both. Luke, Kylo Ren, General Hux, etc.
Man... imagine there are three new movies... and there's a scene with Luke and Mara staring at the twin suns at Tatooine. That would be absolutely beautiful.
9:36 Star Wars Theory: So, what did you guys think about it? Me: Well, I thi- Star Wars Theory: I think it's pretty clear that legends' Luke was one of the most powerful beings ever in star wars
@Zack Morris Nope. When you shave your head it kinda makes you look younger. and I think he already looks young for his age. Plus he has no facial hair. So I get the confusion. And I think he has a wife too.
Legends Luke is the Man. Until the recent Mandalorian episode, it was the only place Luke actual grew into his destiny, to see a new age of Jedi come into existence.
That wasn't in Legends though, only in canon. In Legends, there was a tremendously powerful Neutral Force Nexus far below the Jedi Temple that was only discovered after the Yuuzhan Vong sacked Coruscant and destroyed most of the surface levels. It had been walled off and the Jedi Temple built on top to originally protect it, though the secret was lost in ancient times. The idea that there was a Sith Temple below the Jedi Temple doesn't really make any sense if you think about it, because the Jedi were on Coruscant and exploring the galaxy thousands of years before the first Sith left Korriban. Either way, the Nexus allowed Luke and others to effortlessly destroy Vong capital ships with mountains of rubble.
Best part of Luke's EU powers is that when he was young he utilized more brute force abilities. By the time of the swarm war his connection to the force deepened to the point of using more subtle but no less powerful abilities... like Fold Space. Can't loose your lightsaber if you can teleport it back into your hand.
I knew his pops too. Once Vader popped a baker's dozen shots of Sith Moonshine he was unbearable to be around. Always whining about sand and Obi wan and his high ground loss.
@@HeyImSupercoo omg yes he is you obviously don't know anything about star wars, I'm right, you're wrong the sooner you accept that the better off you'll be.
Saw a guy wearing a Star Wars shirt at the store today. I asked "did you see it?" He said "fucking Luke!" I replied "fucking Luke!" His wife smiled and rolled her eyes. LOL.
Well, in her defence, it isn't her fault that the SW gods decided to make the universe bend to her will and wim. Gotta please the "oh so important" sjw's.
@@jki808 he's right tho, it's all because hollywood decided that movies need more strong female characters, without really understanding how to make a strong female character that is relatable and admirable. They stopped focusing on creating a wonderful story and a solid character and chose to focus simply on the fact that she's a woman.
I hate how female characters are added in and then written badly, or have a feminist play them when it doesn’t suit them. Female characters can work when they’re written well, not just when they’re added in for ‘muh equality’. It’s the same story with doctor who.
@@DrewPeabaws Ripley from Alien is probably the GREATEST written Female Character in Cinema imo. Like, she's a hero but she's not some ultra, super smart, hero that has no hardships or difficulties. She shows fear, determination, and EXTRAIRDINARY bravery. Very human rather than most female characters these days that are 'strong' simply because they're women. Captain Marvel is a LOT worse than Rey in my opinion. Carol goes from barely being able to shoot a photon blast to being able to learn how to fly LITERALLY on the fly, then becomes so strong she's practically Superman. (Who is literally a Gary Stu, but even Superman has weaknesses. Kryptonite, Red-Sun Radiation, Magic, and so on.) So... yeah.
One of my favorite all time "scenes" with Luke using his power was in The Courtship of Princess Leia. He flew the Millennium Falcon as pilot, co pilot, gunner, top turret gunner, and lower turret gunner, all from the lounge area. Firing at the witches and hitting them as they stood between all his friends, ready to kill them all, with precision accuracy.
What’s the point of a conflict if they can march god tier Luke to the front line and let him handle it? I’m not knocking on anyone I like these powers it’d be great to see them, but I feel like if they used them it would take away from the story.
@@abhabh6896 well I'm talking about legends luke, not about stupid disney and their bullshit titles they put on their characters to make them sound cooler than they actually are. Like legends luke can easily body the emperor, also yeah I think any old republic sith and before that can body Palpatine, hell maybe even origanl script kylo could since he basically gets darth nihilous force power.
@SharkTank because george has accepted the money and has been using it, if he really wants his company back, he will have to return the money to disney if he wants to be in charge again
I like to think that Luke wasn't just outlandishly overpowered but that he was the first Jedi in millennia to have the freedom to explore the outer limits of the force. He didn't have the Order and its overcomplicated galactic business and rules to soak up his time and energy, he could just Jedi like no Jedi had.
Force Judge would be my favorite. Otherwise I would join the dark side just to use sith lightning. Also the duel between Luke and Jacen was difficult so he wouldn't always win if written right.
Exactly. Blindly following Disney's declaration is - in an extreme case - like believing certain Germans who said the holocaust never happened. You cant rewrite history.
@@mdhall04 they dont. I live in Poland, and we constantly have to fight with german media who say that concentration camps were Polish. And they do absolutely nothing about it. Completely ignoring it. Seriously fuck Germany for doing that
dboymax1 Yes! He defeated him in a duel proving Luke to be among the greatest lightsaber duelists ever. For me, these stories are more canon than anything Disney has produced.
One of the most well written characters in the Star Wars. What a contradiction to some Marry Sue Rey. Wish that Disney hired some actual scriptwriters. Great video SWT, as always!
In one novel, on Dathomir, after healing himself from serious injuries, he did something very cool. He flew the Falcon to go rescue the others. Han noticed the incredible flying he was doing in battle. While flying, Luke was also operating the turrets to flawlessly shoot down enemies.
I think he was a little too overpowered in legends. But obviously going the complete opposite way (ie Disney) in making him weaker than in RotJ was a horrible decision.
They limited him to Yoda’s power level. But gave him a larger inventory of abilities to chose from. In Disney Canon, he strength in the Force never increased beyond what we saw in the original trilogy and his dueling skills actually went down hill. Which isn’t how it works according to the prequels. You’re power and skills increase over time.
@@Samuelsamuel-pq8tb Well Lukes victory over Abeloth might have something to say about that. Please don't say he got lucky cause the ability to use the force has nothing to do with luck. The one who walks away from a fight with the big V should be considered the more powerful.
The Luke who redeemed nothing less than Darth Vader does not consider murdering his apprentice. He doesn’t run away when things get tough. He doesn’t hide from the Galaxy as a hermit, tortured by past failures and failing to intervene in current struggles. That’s a broken man. It’s a very different characterisation, and not one I feel does justice to the original.
Luke: Hey dad, how'd you get hurt so bad anyway? Anakin: I got too close to lava after Obi-wan cut my limbs off. Luke: Oh... you weren't able to walk ok lava? Anakin: What? No way. That's impossible. You have a lot to learn about the force. Luke: *Walks on lava* Anakin: You sonofabitch....
@@solarcentipede1749 It took him decades to become that powerfull and he always had to work particularly hard every time to use said powers...so...better writing, better character development, better enemies and way better stories..so yeah..this IS the Luke we NEEDED...
@@TSEDLE333 definetly better story telling. I still dislike the Dragon Ball like power creep of force abilities depicted. I had the feeling the movie force abilities always stayed a little more down to earth.
@Wilfri Castillo If you would have liked to see an absolutely overpowered Luke/force powers that's totally fine. But I don't see why I'm stupid af just because I prefer more down to earth force powers like in the previous movies. At least in the movies.
I love legends luke. He was op as hell, hut he trained and struggled for years to learn that power. He was also an incredibly flawed character in many ways. People who said Luke was a flawed character for the first time in TLJ didn’t pay attention to the original trilogy, and never read a Legends book. He failed as a teacher and leader many times. His compassion and love for those around him is what led him to learn from all these mistakes. He learned that attachments are actually a vital part of life and the light side if the force. To run and hide from attachments was foolhardy, and it led to the Jedi becoming disillusioned. Man he was a fascinating character.
Do we want to see a Luke powerful enough to pick up all those silly AT-AT knockoffs and ball them up like scraps of paper? I mean.... yes? Trick question?
That’s actually what I wanted Luke to do in episode 8 and a lot of people who saw it before me was saying it was like seeing John Wick, boy was I disappointed.

Legends Luke Skywalker = Powerful, wise, caring and cunning
Disney Luke Skywalker = Petty, grumpy, sad, uncaring
*Disney Jake Skywalker.
Well it fits his character more rewatch the originals seeing his failed padawan kill and destroy everything he had yeah luke skywalker was Alr in the the last jedi
I've not read or researched a lot of Luke outside of the film's because I hated him in the film's. He was Petty, winey and barely did a thing. I always saw him as the inspiration Anakin needed to turn good again, not much else. It's just been recently that I've been curious enough to learn more about the real Luke.
Adrian Diaz in legends he was unable to kill
His nephew cause of his family
He was a cunning warrior, and a good friend.
What made me love Luke's character so much in the Legends books and comics was that, even though he started his training a decade and a half late, he was so hungry for knowledge, but never for power. In his pursuit of the Truth, he unwittingly became a tool of the Force, a literal force for good in the galaxy. He struggled at times with guilt, with uncertainty, and even for a short time, with the Dark Side, but he always put others first. He never quit, never stopped trying to do the right thing, and never stopped learning. As corny as that all sounds, he was the epitome of a hero. Disney Luke is a sad, sad shadow of what he could, and should have been, and the result of people who don't believe in ideals (or even Star Wars in general, for that matter), but rather equity.
His most insane power is to have enough balls to say outloud that his character was ruinied in the new movies :)
Ridisword The new movies possess too much dark side of the force
Nirawit Karnjanasomwong That's not exactly a bad thing tho
ZM_Phantom I mean it can turn fanbase into a big group of Siths full of anger
Nirawit Karnjanasomwong the only problem with the new movies is disney and their special ability to fuck up everything they do, the fights are unrealistic asf considering a lightsaber can cut through steel with ease and somehow no one is getting dismembered, disfigured or crippled throughout all movies, who tf wants to tell me a pseudo clone trooper who never even touched a light”SWORD” before, can keep up with someone like kylo ren in a fight for even 1 sec, he got his back slashed open and somehow he was just fine after that, same goes with ray, her little “training” sequence they showed is based on swinging it around, nobody showed her how to do anything?
And can we just shortly talk about how supreme leader snoke the badass main antagonist who looks like he’d be a few hundred years old died because he got shish kebobed by his traitorous apprentice, so fucking retarded. Also the main characters are a woman, a black guy and a hispanic guy, why? Literally only for representation, which is fine yk but I’m not going to accept some j.k rowling type of bs where they introduce e.g revan and make him have a secret gay relationship with malak or something.

Yeah, this is my biggest problem with Disney’s Canon as a whole.
Grandmaster Luke Skywalker is the Strongest Jedi/Force User that ever lived in the EU, who could basically freeze Life itself to a Standstill & play with Black Holes. But in Disney’s Current Canon, He allows the Jedi Temple to fall to a Single Soy-Boy, who isn’t even a Jedi Knight at that, and instead chooses to run away & let the Galaxy suffer once again at the hands of the First Order.
Exactly. The son of the Chosen One at full potential reached should basically be a god. Anakin was supposed to be 200% of the Emperor.
Lol just imagine if anakin reached his full potential
@@JordanWickkk He would be overpowered lol
Gerardo Reyes That’s where the fun would begin.
Yeah the dude walked on lava I don't think he would be afraid of his bitch nephew
They should make an animated series about legends Luke
I’d enjoy that
yeah like a "what-if thing" like force unleashed
I'll take it. I'll take anything from the OT at this point.
Why animated. Get a live action series going on. If Disney marvel can do it with Loki Wandavision and winter solider. Why not starwars extended. we already have the mandalorian with plans for others to hopefully come. Why not get the legends of Skywalker as a live action series. In the style of the mandalorian damn that would be so badass!
@mark stockdale I say animated because the mark Hamill could voice him
Legends: "you were supposed to USE the EU legends not destroy them! Make it canon in the universe not leave it in darkness! You were my brother Disney, and I loved you.."
Disney: "I HATE YOU!!"
This is the greatest common ever given on TH-cam
I pledge myself to your teachings
Lol
Legends: Don’t do it Disney, I have the higher ground.
There is so much bullshit in legends too though. If they made it all canon it would ruin whatever restraint was used in the originals. Hell, isn't there a part where Luke fucks a force ghost that possessed the body of a young Jedi/Padawan? Why the fuck would you want that included? Why would you want people so powerful they can manipulate space, time, and black holes? Where the FUCK would that even fit in. Normal people would be literally worthless. Legends needs to stay as an alternative universe it is the only way it fits in the original narrative Lucas went with in the movies. If Palps can do half the shit he pulled off in the legends than none of the originals needed to play out. Dude could have took on all of the Rebels (film version) by him self. What the fuck is any non-force-sensitive character going to do?
Don’t forget the most important force power

JUST A FAN so basically her writing is shitty, I don’t hate on the sequel trig but the most frustrating aspect of it is Rey’s ability to become the most powerful Jedi with a snap of the fingers. That really pisses me off, the CHOSEN ONE Anakin Skywalker trained for a decade to achieve his power and Rey is a spit in the face to all the true Jedi that trained and mediated for years.
Its kind of like EU luke training for 30 years to become a kung fu master but rey becomes a kung fu master in 30 seconds
@@harrythedirty4256 you do realize her massive leap in power was explained in the book right? She basically leached all of kylo rens training from his mind when he tried to link with hers during an interrogation and messed up. Shes nowhere near as strong as luke. Shes not a prodigy either. Everyone else worked and studied for power. She got the cliff note version and skipped ahead. Thats why she has a few small abilities but knows nothing about the force until she meets luke and got the jedi text
@@harrythedirty4256 yep that is just lazy the whole point of learning is that it takes years if not decades of making mistakes and learning from them which rey doesn't even do, all rey is is a force sensitive person with a lightsaber, with no training at all, even anakin spent 10 years at the jedi temple, and even then he wasn't as good as he could be

Yep Luke's death was terrible.
So was Obi-Wan's. I assure you if the Prequels came out first and people actually loved them and Obi-Wan, they would be outraged to see him do so little and die by basically giving up. Or that's how the fans will interpret it as just as they interpret Luke's death in the worst possible way.
Obi-Wan was a stagnant character in 4 who died half way through, Luke was a dynamic character who died at the end of 8, 2 movies into the trilogy. Way better treatment and considering the formula Disney was using, he lasted surprisingly long, only giving the new characters one movie to stand on their own.
@@kungolaf4499 Firstly, your using whataboutism to try and prove your point. Secondly, Obi-Wan wanted to die to prove a point to Luke and make him despise Vader enough to go and kill him later.

While Luke died over force skype while spitting that bs for how the jedi must end while the sith are killing/taking over everything.

Yeah Legends luke is so much better. Not only more powerful, but more character development. And quite honestly the sequels are a disgrace to the franchise.

I'm going to say yes, this is the Luke Skywalker we all would have loved to see in the movies despite knowing he would always win. The reason is simple, it's just like the Avengers movies or even Superman, we know they are eventually going to win and save the day, the story is in the "how" and what they must sacrifice in order to do so.
Legends Luke could manipulate artificial BLACK HOLES and yet in Canon he got tired and died from using the doppelganger/force projection ability.
Also 3:23 so force quicksilver.
No Quicksilver can't slow down Time, Hunter Zoloman can
I was so disappointed in how they Portrayed Luke in the recent movies, that it actually affected my life.
Clearly Force-whatsapp-face-time is very energy consuming.
When you can move black holes then it’s time to reboot. He might as well be Superman without kryptonite as a weakness. This is why EU stuff doesn’t work in movies. You need the human element that a hero can die at anytime. Or else where’s the drama.

Luke is over here having all the extremely rare force abilities
He wasn't the only Jedi. One of the Jedi Grandmasters from the past had inhereted telepathic abilities before becoming a Jedi, other had telekinetc abilities that surpassed that of Yoda.
He did travel the galaxy to learn a lot of his abilities though.
EU Luke: Can swing black holes around like a tether ball, and emanate pure force light.
Disney's Luke: Breaks and withers under the emotional pressure of a child's tantrum.
Nephews tantrum > having his childhood family be killed, finding out his father was his greatest and most hated enemy, and having all of his close mentors die, but still remaining mentally strong (for the most part).
I mean "tantrum" is a little light, he tried to kill said child then that child butchered his fellow students and Lukes pupils and burned the nascent jedi order to the ground. He failed so completely that the thought "maybe I should just stop trying to fix things" wouldn't be unreasonable.

Yeah!!! I've only ever heard it mentioned in passing about other topics
All I really know is that the Jedi temple was built over the sith temple because of the leach of the dark side energy all over Corousant
That wasn't in Legends though, only in canon. In Legends, there was a tremendously powerful Neutral Force Nexus far below the Jedi Temple that was only discovered after the Yuuzhan Vong sacked Coruscant and destroyed most of the surface levels. It had been walled off and the Jedi Temple built on top to originally protect it, though the secret was lost in ancient times. The idea that there was a Sith Temple below the Jedi Temple doesn't really make any sense if you think about it, because the Jedi were on Coruscant and exploring the galaxy thousands of years before the first Sith left Korriban. Either way, the Nexus allowed Luke and others to effortlessly destroy Vong capital ships with mountains of rubble.

I hate how female characters are added in and then written badly, or have a feminist play them when it doesn’t suit them. Female characters can work when they’re written well, not just when they’re added in for ‘muh equality’. It’s the same story with doctor who.
@@DrewPeabaws Ripley from Alien is probably the GREATEST written Female Character in Cinema imo. Like, she's a hero but she's not some ultra, super smart, hero that has no hardships or difficulties.

Captain Marvel is a LOT worse than Rey in my opinion. Carol goes from barely being able to shoot a photon blast to being able to learn how to fly LITERALLY on the fly, then becomes so strong she's practically Superman.

Yeah Legends Luke and his Jedi were amazing. I miss this version of Luke 😞
I like to think that Luke wasn't just outlandishly overpowered but that he was the first Jedi in millennia to have the freedom to explore the outer limits of the force. He didn't have the Order and its overcomplicated galactic business and rules to soak up his time and energy, he could just Jedi like no Jedi had.
Force Judge would be my favorite. Otherwise I would join the dark side just to use sith lightning. Also the duel between Luke and Jacen was difficult so he wouldn't always win if written right.
He wasn't just fighting Jacen, he was also fighting to not succumb to the Dark Side.
Legends Luke is pretty over powered.. all the powers are so cool

In one novel, on Dathomir, after healing himself from serious injuries, he did something very cool. He flew the Falcon to go rescue the others. Han noticed the incredible flying he was doing in battle. While flying, Luke was also operating the turrets to flawlessly shoot down enemies.
Legends did Luke Justice. Unfortunately, I can't say that about the most recent entries.
If legends Luke was canon he would be THE MOST POWERFUL force user ever.
I think he was a little too overpowered in legends. But obviously going the complete opposite way (ie Disney) in making him weaker than in RotJ was a horrible decision.
Abeloth and the one's are his superior
They limited him to Yoda’s power level. But gave him a larger inventory of abilities to chose from.
In Disney Canon, he strength in the Force never increased beyond what we saw in the original trilogy and his dueling skills actually went down hill. Which isn’t how it works according to the prequels. You’re power and skills increase over time.
@@nathanharris6450 no He isn't
@@Samuelsamuel-pq8tb Well Lukes victory over Abeloth might have something to say about that. Please don't say he got lucky cause the ability to use the force has nothing to do with luck. The one who walks away from a fight with the big V should be considered the more powerful.
starwars theory: "legends luke the one we would have wanted?"
me: yes....absolutely....positively.
The Luke who redeemed nothing less than Darth Vader does not consider murdering his apprentice. He doesn’t run away when things get tough. He doesn’t hide from the Galaxy as a hermit, tortured by past failures and failing to intervene in current struggles. That’s a broken man. It’s a very different characterisation, and not one I feel does justice to the original.
Luke is always going to be a savage, even with Disney’s horrible interpretation of him.
Luke was awesome, prequel kid
zenv okay, sequel kid? The fuck you talking to?
Its more tragic to know that all of his potential *wasted* in TLJ
Not trying to be a hater but it sucks cause we will never see this in the films.
How are you a hater?
Sharperstream 34 idk I’m just saying😂
You're not a hater you're saying what millions are thinking as we're watching this.
DrewTube I agree, which is why I won’t watch the new films. But hey, at least there’s Ray🥴

Luke: *Walks* *on* *lava*
Jesus: How uncivilized...
Legends is so much better, that’s the true canon
Luke: Hey dad, how'd you get hurt so bad anyway?
Anakin: I got too close to lava after Obi-wan cut my limbs off.
Luke: Oh... you weren't able to walk ok lava?
Anakin: What? No way. That's impossible. You have a lot to learn about the force.
Luke: *Walks on lava*
Anakin: You sonofabitch....
Luke: I'm your son bitch
anakin:.....i really wish i learned that
Luke: Don't speak of mother that way, Father.
Anakin: Noooooooooooo.......
"Is this the Luke we actually wanted to see?" YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!
Nooooo! For me this is so much power fantasy bullshit.
Solar Centipede true but imagine the conversation with his father about walking on lava
@@solarcentipede1749 It took him decades to become that powerfull and he always had to work particularly hard every time to use said powers...so...better writing, better character development, better enemies and way better stories..so yeah..this IS the Luke we NEEDED...
@@TSEDLE333 definetly better story telling. I still dislike the Dragon Ball like power creep of force abilities depicted.
I had the feeling the movie force abilities always stayed a little more down to earth.
@Wilfri Castillo If you would have liked to see an absolutely overpowered Luke/force powers that's totally fine. But I don't see why I'm stupid af just because I prefer more down to earth force powers like in the previous movies. At least in the movies.
I love legends luke. He was op as hell, hut he trained and struggled for years to learn that power. He was also an incredibly flawed character in many ways. People who said Luke was a flawed character for the first time in TLJ didn’t pay attention to the original trilogy, and never read a Legends book. He failed as a teacher and leader many times. His compassion and love for those around him is what led him to learn from all these mistakes. He learned that attachments are actually a vital part of life and the light side if the force. To run and hide from attachments was foolhardy, and it led to the Jedi becoming disillusioned. Man he was a fascinating character.
Do we want to see a Luke powerful enough to pick up all those silly AT-AT knockoffs and ball them up like scraps of paper? I mean.... yes? Trick question?
Sounds like you need friggin magneto
Sounds like the sequel I'd like to see instead of these garbage sequels.
That’s actually what I wanted Luke to do in episode 8 and a lot of people who saw it before me was saying it was like seeing John Wick, boy was I disappointed.
