Hey everyone, how are you all doing today? So today let's talk about something pretty different and something I think is pretty cool
Luke Skywalker is by far one of the coolest characters in Star Wars, but let's be honest here
He's far from the most
Powerful Jedi that we've seen in the movies with the possible exception of force projecting himself across the galaxy in the last Jedi
Basically, everyone else can do more than him in the original trilogy
we saw Luke barely attained the rank of Jedi Knight and only got a glimpse of his powers since he didn't really develop most of
Them until after Return of the Jedi in Canon
We know what happened with him up through episode 8
But today I want to take a look at Luke's most insane
legends force powers and rank his top 14
Then you guys can decide if legends or canon Luke is the most powerful and in the comments
I want you to tell me which one is your all-time favorite or if there's one that I didn't mention coming in at number 14
freezing items and people in mid air we first saw this in Canon in the force awakens when kylo Ren froze the blaster bolt and
It was honestly pretty cool
So cool that Vader had to show him up in the fan film
But Luke was doing things like this long before kylo, and his power here was actually far more powerful
We see this not in a battle
But when Luke stopped a food fight in the Jedi mess hall by freezing every person and thing in the room
He even froze single drops of liquid as they flew around while freezing a single blaster bolt is awesome
Freezing hundreds of small objects shows how in tune Luke was to the force to have such perfect concentration number 13
Sensing other force users similar to his ability to communicate with other force users
Luke eventually became able to sense the presence of force users around him
Basically, if another person who wielded the force was in the presence of Luke
He would be able to feel their presence as well and even be able to identify the person if he had encountered them before
Kind of like how a dog sniff stuff out granted
This isn't really an ability unique to Luke Skywalker
As Vader did it in a new hope when obi-wan boarded the Death Star and many other Jedi can do this, too
But Luke's was pretty powerful. The ability doesn't just help Luke sense the force. It also helps him identify the type of force user
So essentially if a dark side user tries to sneak up on Luke to attack him
He would know the spoiling the surprise attack
Perhaps Luke would have been able to sense the force in
Palpatine when he was the Supreme Chancellor and hid his force abilities from the Jedi Council
That would have solved a lot of problems
But then again there were other things Palpatine was doing in legend such as hiding his powers, you know
We using the Sith temple below the Jedi Temple
Which is something else I can talk about in another video with number 12
We have force light at one point in legends when Luke was about to lose to a bunch of enemies
Luke used an incredibly rare force power known as force like this ability gave Luke a bright golden glow
Freeing him from the arms of his enemy
The image itself is pretty cool to think about but what's even cooler is?
What else it did force light?
Seriously heightened Luke's force abilities and also diminished the powers of the dark side in any dark side user around him
in fact
It could be so powerful that it could permanently remove the darkside power from someone when forced light was powerful enough
Coming in at number 11
we have enhanced force dueling like most Jedi before and after him Luke used a force ability known as force speed in order to
Seriously enhance his dueling abilities
We saw this ability most clearly in the opening scene of the Phantom Menace as qui-gon and obi-wan
Ran down the hall and Droid control ship at double speed
Luke took a different approach to this power and used it to slow down things to half speed
Around him with the help of the force ghost of obi-wan
Luke learned how to seemingly slow down time for himself in a fight giving himself more time to react to his opponent's movement this became
An incredibly useful skill for Luke leading him to win every single lightsaber fight after he learned the skill
So this ability combined with the for speed made him a complete dueling legend for number 10
Do we have force healing at one point in legends?
Luke was fatally wounded after he was ambushed by a number of enemies despite the fatal wounds though
Luke was able to force heal himself in order to keep himself alive and was back on his feet within a few hours
So it's almost like Wolverine but not quite as fast number 9 communicating through the force
This was an ability that we saw briefly in the Empire Strikes Back when Luke spoke to both Vader and Leia through the force after
His duel on Cloud City most have assumed that this was because he had a blood connection with both people but in legends we see
How powerful this skill became after he went through more training and practice Luke was eventually able to communicate with any force user telepath
Typically, we've only seen this ability used by force ghosts
so the fact that Luke was able to pull it off was pretty
Remarkable Luke, then took things up to a new level in the last Jedi by physically communicating with others through the force
But that's a completely different ability though. They are in a way related number-8 changing his appearance with the force in legends
Luke was basically a galactic celebrity and everyone knew who he was so wherever he went people recognized him
Basically that meant going on an undercover mission was pretty difficult
So one time Luke had to use the Force to alter his physical appearance in order to disguise himself to rescue some kidnapped children it
Was a brief trick that was only used for one time yet. It's still an incredibly cool ability
so Luke and legends from what we can see is kind of like the x-men sort of like mystique and Logan put into one for
Number 7 we have disabling and overpowering computer technology
This is one of the weirdest out there, but could have spelled certain doom for Vader if Luke had learned this power earlier
basically
Luke became a human lightning rod by causing himself to be repeatedly struck by lightning and charging himself up like a giant
Energizer battery that could then shock and disable technological items like prosthetic arms computers and other similarly
structured systems essentially had Luke learned this power earlier
He would have been able to defeat Darth Vader simply by disabling all four of his prosthetic limbs
This force power also allows the wielder to boost the range of antennas and other technological forms of communication
which probably could have helped a lot at the end of the last Jedi at number 6 we have becoming
unmovable at one point during the legends
Luke was confronted by a group of darkside users who attempted to overpower him using the force
Instead of using force light against them. Luke used the force to make himself unmovable
So their force pushes had no effect on him
Luke did this by rooting himself in the force which apparently gave him the essence of an immovable object?
No matter what Luke's enemies tried. They couldn't knock him down or push him back
It was said that not even a black hole could have moved Luke as his connection to the force was simply too
powerful, even for one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy in the number 5 slot
We've got electric judgement and you've probably heard this one before from me basically
This is forced lightning but for light side users of the force in legends
Luke used the power or a variation of it in an attempt to save his niece and
Nephew from the Slayers his powerful version sent a green sparks coursing over the body of a slayer
Instantly killing him and causing his body to convulse. It's pretty cool
And it's something I'm still waiting to see in one of the movies and that's something that Mark Hamill said he was hoping that in
The sequel trilogy he would have forced lightning. Just coming out of his ears with number four
we have traveling into the realms of the force the force realm known as Beyond shadows is a place where
Incredibly powerful force users are able to travel to if they are able to completely leave their physical state behind Luke travelled to this realm
Only once when he went to receive more knowledge and ultimately ended up fighting and permanently
Defeating one of the most powerful dark side users of Legends for reference traveling beyond shadows is very much like force
Projecting though Luke is physically still in the normal universe his mind and spirit are somewhere else entirely
it takes a great deal of power and
concentration to pull off which is why Luke is one of the few Jedi in history to travel there coming in at number 3 we
Have being one with the force in light now some Jedi become one with the force after their life ends
Like obi-wan and Yoda who returned his force ghost because of this most people assume that you have to die first in order to become
A force ghost but Luke, apparently never heard those rules at one point in legends
Luke showed his intense connection with the force by actually becoming completely one with the force while still being alive and then returning to mortal
Form he did this during a fight against an army of enemies and everyone who witnessed it were in absolute
Awe
Towards Luke's abilities his movements were Swift and described to be without thought it is the fighting style that nearly every Jedi sought to achieve
And Luke pulled it off seamlessly
So this is something I hope that happens in episode 8, you know that he actually didn't die
He just became one with the force, but I don't know. I don't know if they're gonna pull for that
We'll see number 2 may not be as most powerful on here, but it's definitely super cool
It's taking hold of a black hole earlier
It was mentioned that Luke was so strong with the force that not even a black hole could move him this ability takes that up
to a new level
As Luke is so powerful that he can move a black hole with the force
Luke once used this ability to save himself when he moved a black hole out of his path in order to not have his ship
sucked into it
Not only that he moved the black hole into path of one of his
pursuers basically killing them in the most outrageous way possible
And now the moment you've all been waiting for
coming in at number one isn't exactly the most powerful power he has but when you hear it
You're gonna understand why it's number one. It is walking on table the power that Anakin needed more than anyone
So, how did Luke do it once in legends to prove his incredible connection with the force?
Luke walked across lava as he did it people said he was throbbing with the force
focusing on his connection as he walked to ensure that he didn't get a single burn on his body in addition to this Luke was
Also fighting a giant fire worm as he did this which he beat because you know, he's Luke now
I'm just gonna say that if Luke didn't talk about this with his force ghost dad then
The greatest travesties of the entire Star Wars saga. So what you guys think about it?
I think it's pretty clear that legends Luke was probably the one of those powerful
Beings ever in Star Wars and definitely more powerful than canon Luke
But is this the Luke we actually would have wanted to see my answer is yes
So while I totally want to see a powerful Jedi Luke
I also would like to ask myself and you guys if we want to see someone so
Powerful that we know he's always gonna win. Would that take away some of the fun?
Well, you guys can let me know down in the comments leave a like on this one if you enjoyed it
I love making this one's some cool info in here
And I hope we have you know
At least we'll get to see some of these powers someday in the movies until the next episode of Star Wars Theory remember the force
Will be with you always
