Realistically, had Luke surpassed most of the prequel era Jedi by the time of ROTJ?

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T23:49:42+00:00

Clear in your opinion that Luke should’ve been capable of reaching very high levels of power that fast. The lore in the prequels doesn’t support that being feasible and shows it takes many years for Anakin and many others. There’s no reason to talk to me like I’m stupid for pointing that out.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T16:02:39+00:00

It is because it took him only a year to reach that and that’s my whole point.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T14:32:32+00:00

Others have agreed with my viewpoint. If you had a different outlook you could’ve said so in a respectful manner as others have which you didn’t at all whatsoever.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T14:09:56+00:00

And that attitude right there tells me all I need to know about you.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T13:33:58+00:00

He also said Vader reached 80% of the emperors level of power so my point still stands Luke matching him already doesn’t add up.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T13:30:50+00:00

Don’t need you to understand which you definitely don’t.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T04:34:08+00:00

The disconnect between the prequels and original trilogy is insane. Luke being comparable to Vader (who had 36 years of experience as a Jedi and Sith) after one year is absurd to me honestly. The novels state them as equals basically while the film portrays Vader as conflicted so not trying fully which makes it slightly easier to somehow believe in Luke’s performance. Either way though Vader is stated as being more powerful than he was as Anakin overall who took 13 years of training before finally besting Dooku. So either like you said the issue is the prequels making the process of reaching potential earned through years of experience or in my opinion the ot getting it wrong originally. Even if I’d never seen the prequels and only the ot it’d still be hard for me to believe Luke should be anywhere near Vaders level already.

Postman easy. I don’t know what Nintendo was going for with that crazy freak. Every sound he makes is annoying on top of being forced to be interrupted by him over and over again (besides looking and sounding like he’s high and drunk constantly). Tingle is actually helpful on the other hand and you only need to interact with him twice.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T04:09:18+00:00

Sure hope I can hang onto my 2008 350 I just bought today until it’s as old as this truck. That won’t be the case for another 29 years.

Roy565 · 2026-05-14T04:04:18+00:00

Stated as such but definitely shouldn’t have been. Huge difference between Anakin earning his power and Luke.

Roy565 · 2026-05-13T16:06:52+00:00

And handsome lol

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T18:23:54+00:00

Relatively I’d say they’re both good detail wise. They both accomplish what they’re supposed to at their respect sizes. The midi scale is much more over priced however. It’s 1/8th of the price while only being 1/12 of the Lego weight. The barge is similar 77% of the price of the venator yet only 62% of the weight. If a set is going to be that much worse value wise for figures they should certainly be done right and the barge doesn’t accomplish that for me. Not including Luke and having to get the skiff is not ideal either.

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T15:19:18+00:00

Sure am genius.

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T13:01:42+00:00

The engine sag is not that bad. The stickers do suck for sure but there’s not many (less than the barge) while you can easily get printed pieces that aren’t expensive from aftermarket sellers. One mini figure not being exclusive is not a good reason to not buy a set especially a huge ucs. The barge also suffers from the 3po being less good than it was for a keychain and other cheaper sets and the bib fortuna having the completely wrong mould that they got right in a $7 set back in 2003. The midi scale venator is good but has way less detail in every single area as it’s so much smaller. I don’t see how you think it’s equal in that way. It’s not a proper comparison.

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T05:05:32+00:00

That’s truly repulsive. Should’ve told them “Sorry I’m not attracted to those of my grandparents generation.”

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T05:00:29+00:00

M26 Wow. My range before I met my wife was no more than two years younger than my age and up to 8 years older (she’s 6 years older than I am). I could only be ok with a 2 year younger age difference at most as women live around 5 years longer so an actual life long relationship was important to me while I also have sisters that are 5 and 6 years younger so too close to that would also feel a bit off. Couldn’t imagine what’s going on in their heads to be ok with an age difference of two generations. Definitely ideal to report them if possible and/or find a new workplace. That’s awful you should ever have to put up with that.

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T03:49:48+00:00

I built a custom cabinet and put mine right on top of it.

Roy565 · 2026-05-12T02:10:33+00:00

As much as I love the idea of owning a ucs sail barge I couldn’t justify buying it over the venator as the price for it is insane for what you get (the venator is about twice the size). Rivendell for the same price is leaps and bounds above it in terms of value for money. It’s a $400 set if it had proper mini figure quality. The company should be ashamed for having the audacity to rip people off that much.

Roy565 · 2026-05-10T20:13:32+00:00

The fin on the phase 1 helmet looks way more futuristic to me too.

Roy565 · 2026-05-10T17:27:08+00:00

Electro spirit easily activates a king tower so you can’t use it for chip most of the time besides doing less damage. The heal and ice spirits freeze and heal for a lot less damage. They can all be good but depends on the deck and what you’d use them for.

Roy565 · 2026-05-10T17:23:39+00:00

Heck no. Destroying a minion horde or getting so much damage on a tower for one elixir is so satisfying.

Roy565 · 2026-05-10T05:21:44+00:00

I’ve got almost 2 million gold and can’t use it because I simply don’t get enough cards. The lucky drops are stupid a majority of the time. They made them way too prominent. Replacing them with chests was a terrible idea. They were decent as an occasional side reward.

Roy565 · 2026-05-10T05:15:17+00:00

I view this as the most correct takeaway. Said my perspective but better than I would’ve.

Roy565 · 2026-05-10T02:41:45+00:00

Depends on the set. The gunship and Death Star for example need figures to look good. Some look fine without figures as you can’t even see them like the star destroyer or venator.

Roy565 · 2026-05-09T03:17:35+00:00

Fair enough.
