What if Anakin Fought Luke Skywalker Prime - FULL Analysis

Who wins?

All Luke needs to bring to the fight is some sand from Tatooine. He’ll win easily. Know your enemy’s weakness.

I think you’re failing to realize that Luke didn’t have the “Jedi Mullet” ability and therefore has somewhere between 10-30 less cool points than Anakin. This alone would be more than enough to give Ani the dub

As a teacher and coach myself, I think it’s safe to say that the fall of Anakin was strictly due to the Jedi Order’s fear of him. Luke was much older when he started training but the Jedi order wasn’t there to hold him back; which allowed him to grow and flourish without restraints when the jedi order feared Anakin and he was much younger than Luke was. If they would have allowed Anakin to reach his limits and pushed him to his limits of skill and knowledge as a sith would have, Anakin would have been fine. Anakin knew he was capable of much more than what the Jedi Order were allowing him. But they handicapped him, instead of allowing the student to grow and advance with his skill; allowing Palpatine to capitalize on those frustrations he had.

The problem with this analysis is that we haven't seen how good Luke has actually gotten with his lightsaber combat by the time he appears Mando. We haven't seen him in a proper duel since ROTJ. And the fight choreography was much better in the prequels than it was in the OT as well. It might not really be as one sided toward Anakin as it seems based off of that. The lightsaber action was just not as good due largely to the technological limitations of the 70s and early 80s. Maybe Luke was better than he seemed even back then and they just didn't have the means to show us.

“I’ve become more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of!”

The Jedi sabotaged Anakin and Luke for that reason alone he’s more powerful hands down. They were afraid of him. Anakin has RAW potential but was not as quick a learner as Luke naturally was. And that’s because of the mental blocks the Jedi put in place to slow him down...

I think what the Star Wars universe desperately needs is a "What if...?" series. This will answer a lot of questions and confirm a lot of fan theories. I think your channel has the potential to reach a lot of higher people at Lucasfilm, given your history with your Vader episodes.

This is why we need more Luke in new canon, show him building a new order and learning from the mistakes of the past, show him performing amazing feats in the force and being the Luke that he should be

Anakin: "This is the end for you my son" Luke: "I kissed your daughter" Anakin: "YOU KISSED THE WHO NOW??"

I’m pretty sure if Luke said “I have the high ground” Anakin would probably just get really sad and walk away.

Luke would have to be EXPONENTIALLY more powerful in the force just to even keep up with Anakin’s lifetime of formal training in saber combat. Luke never even held a saber until he was basically an adult.

Luke took what little Saber training he had plus his loss to Vader in ESB and developed a technique designed only to overcome Vader. Pretty sharp for a kid. He learns on the fly, that is something most people only develop over time and experience. Couple that with the styles he learned that was lost over time, and Luke never was a fraud of the dark side. I swear Luke could bathe in the dark side and still come put clean. I believe that it because Luke never denied his emotions, he accepted them and learned to use them without subcoming. Like righteous anger.

This video in a nutshell: Anakin: Hey son! Care to join me in a sparring match? Luke: Yeah sure, father!

WOW, you just made me like Luke even more, the explanations of him keeping his cool and describing him as a “more powerful Obi-Wan” awesome video!

I think you hit the nail on the head at the end saying Luke was a more powerful version of Obi-Wan. I'm sure after Ep6 he went to the Jedi Temple and just learned everything he could, but always considered Obi-Wan as the blueprint of what a Jedi is and so everything he learned was added as "would Obi-Wan do this and how"

That was an amazingly fair and balanced assessment. Looking forward to part 2 😁👍

Anakins wartime experience, skill with a lightsaber and raw Force ability give him the edge against Luke, in my opinion.

“You’re over confidence is your weakness.” Truer words have never been spoken by Luke to describe this kind of fight.

I know this is an old video but for the ones watching it right know, Anakin´s force power was evenly matched with Obi Wan`s because he was still conflicted about turning into the dark side, Imagine choking the love of your life, massacring your comrades at the Jedi temple and fighting your brother/mentor, he obviously was conflicted at the time
