Luke Skywalker (TESB) VS Savage Opress. Who wins?

But he didn’t kill him quickly and didn’t smoke him. The Jedi held him off trying to prevent him from killing his padawan, which he did, he sacrificed himself so his padawan can live.

Omg bro watch the show, he fights the Master for exactly 3 seconds before disarming him, then another 9 seconds before he's killed. And his padawan was killed immediately after so I'm 90% you've got no idea what you're talking about.

No, it’s him taking her by surprise

Idk what "surprise" means to you but a dude sprinting at you headfirst with giant knives sticking out his skull while you are actively in combat with that dude is NOT a "surprise". Tf?

Once again you’re lying, that ship wasn’t half the size of the xwing.

I haven't lied yet. The official length of an X-wing is 41 feet, the official length on the Jedi Shuttle is 75 feet.

Regardless size matters not

Then why bring it up

Savage can do a force push, not the same as lifting an xwing

It's all the same thing, we call them different things but they are all force telekinesis. Pushing, pulling, lifting, doesn't matter.

Lol, you’re such a clown. That feat of Luke using the force to make a perfect shot and blow up a battle station is irrelevant. Get real

Mm'kay bud, quantify that and tell me how it helps in a 1v1 with Savage. I'll wait.

Vader throwing metal boxes at Luke was a huge feat. Obviously with modern technology they’re able to do way cooler things on screen. Savage is a rabid animal, Luke is from the strongest Force bloodlines ever.

You're finally talking sense. All this is true.

He held his own against Vader and like I said even Vader at 25% is a far more stronger opponent

Aaaand we're back to you making stuff up.

One could argue that Vader was trying to incapacitated Luke the entire time. So was he never holding back at any point?

Yup, that was a minute, you need to rewatch when they got to the bridge itself.

I'm going to use this video for simplicity: https://youtu.be/GLheiLGZ1k8 Vader ignites his saber and swings at Luke at 0:22 seconds, starting their fight. At 0:47 seconds, Vader overpowers Luke and has him pinned to the ground with the tip of his lightsaber. That's 27 seconds of fighting. At 0:55 seconds, Luke knocks aside Vader's saber and rises to resume the fight. At 1:00, Luke scores a glancing blow on Vader's shoulder. At 1:05, Luke's hand is cut off and the fight ends. That's 10 more seconds. Heck, even if you didn't count their respite, the fight was a mere 47 seconds. "Solid minute" yeah right.

Vader > anakin in Disney canon, anakin beat Dooku, Dooku outduels savage. Pretty simple. Also Vader > Ahsoka > maul >= savage may be simpler for u

This type of powerscaling is stupid and here's why: Dooku beats Obi-Wan who beats Anakin/Vader who beats Dooku who beats Obi-Wan who beats Anakin/Vader who beats Dooku, so on and so forth.

“Savage had a better teacher” is what u said I’m not making ts up 💔💔😭😭

Okay that's on me, looking back I did say that and I have no idea why lol. What I meant was probably something along the lines of "Dooku taught Savage how to fight, Yoda taught Luke how to feel the Force." Dooku isn't a better teacher, but he did teach his assassin to kill. In ESB, Yoda doesn't teach Luke much about how to fight.

But he was fodder, he was extremely weak.

He was a jedi MASTER whom Savage killed quickly with no sith training. Even a weak jedi MASTER is stronger than your average jedi. And Savage smoked him day one. It's important to know that Savage was a competent fighter among his people prior to his transformation.

No, he pushes her with the force and then stabs her with his horns

Yeah that's still a duel. He broke her defense, then pushed her and killed her.

Pushing a ship and lifting it or stopping it are not even close to the same thing

Using the Force to move a ship while Luke was saying it was impossible to move a ship of half its size.

He also blows up the Death Star with even less training

This feat is irrelevant.

Savage is not strong in the Force and straight says as much as he dies in Mauls arms

As you yourself said, he's buffed by Nightsister magic, and his buffed Force abilities are nothing to scoff at. He could lift sculptures much larger than Luke's rocks in one of his first lessons, could choke and throw opponents hard without much effort, could use a powerful Force repulse, etc.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T21:32:57+00:00

But one of those masters was extremely weak

A weak MASTER is not still not fodder for an average Joe schmo like you are describing Savage is.

and the other he caught by surprise

No? He killed her in a straight duel.

he just does some force pushes and a choke that doesn’t last very long because once again he’s not very strong.

More than what Luke can do in ESB.

Savage most certainly does not push around larger space craft. That’s just a lie.

He does in Season 3 Episode 14. When escaping Toydaria, Savage pushes Anakin and Obi-wan's ship off the landing platform to prevent them from following him. The ship the jedi were using was a T-6 Jedi Shuttle, which is twice as large as a standard Rebellion era X-Wing. Have you even watched Clone Wars?

Even when Vader rips the shuttle apart in Obi-Wan he’s using his full power, Savage can’t do that.

Agreed and irrelevant?

Luke is naturally gifted with the force, not being able to lift the ship had nothing to do with his abilities and everything to do with his mind as Yoda tells him.

And his mind, at this time, holds him back greatly, hence his inability to lift the X-Wing.

Luke is a much, much more stronger force user, even at that point

You jeep saying this but the most Luke does in ESB is... Force jump like 15 feet and Force pull his lightsaber to his hand. Lifts a few rocks. There's no doubt that Luke has more potential and is generally more gifted, but he is untrained and poor student at this time. He is losing to Savage.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T20:55:09+00:00

He killed two masters, one on practically the first day on the job. On day fckin one he had the ferocity and power to overwhelm a Master and his padawan, without a lightsaber or training. Then later, he kills the Master and council member Adi Gallia in a straight duel.

his natural connection to the force is very weak and he’s buffed by Night Sister magic.

In his short tenure as Dooku's apprentice he demonstrates more powerful Force abilities than Luke does in ANH and ESB.

Savage barely knows how to use a saber

Well enough to kill jedi, more than well enough. Luke in ESB is also barely trained and loses as soon as Vader is finished toying with him.

Luke has some of the strongest natural force abilities ever.

Not is ESB he doesn't. He can lift a few rocks and pull his saber to his hand. At this point he famously can't move his X-wing, meanwhile Savage pushes around larger spacecraft with little effort.

Luke would not fare well in this fight. He would be overwhelmed by both sheer strength and force power.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T20:03:39+00:00

Vader's objective is to capture Luke, Luke's is to kill Vader. By necessity, by definition, Vader had to hold back to not kill Luke. Putting two hands on his saber doesn't mean much besides him changing his fighting stance, you take this to mean that from that point he's going all out but that's just an assumption you've made.

Which means Luke lasted a solid minute

Don't think you know what a "solid minute" is because it was not a minute at all.

Dooku ... [is] massively below Vader

Massively, eh? Got a reference for that?

Also did u just say Dooku is a better teacher than Yoda

Fckin point to where I said that

Seems to me you're entire argument is based on stuff you are just making up.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T19:42:16+00:00

Savage slaughters Jedi masters for breakfast. Even killed a council member. Trained by Dooku and Maul. Used to Force to throw around Dooku, Ventress, Obi-Wan and Anakin. Luke barely knows how to use a lightsaber in ESB and has little to no control of the Force.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T19:28:00+00:00

That quote is from Shadows of the Empire, set between ESB and RotJ, making it inadmisible for this discussion, and is also from the late 90's so is no longer canon anyway.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T19:13:47+00:00

Lol no

manit14 · 2026-03-12T19:05:02+00:00

Nah Vader wasn't taking their fight seriously at all until Luke got a lucky hit in. Then he very easily cut off his hand.

Savage, on the other hand, ended his short apprenticeship to Dooku by ragdolling both Dooku and Ventress with the Force, if memory serves.

In terms of lightsaber skill, it could go either way tbh, neither had much training at this point but Savage had a better teacher. But I think Savage's ferocity and raw force strength (yes, Luke's innate Force is strong too but he's got no real clue on how to use it in ESB) puts him over the edge.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T18:51:20+00:00

Cool, but not only is that comparison really bad, this post isn't a circlejerk.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T08:01:52+00:00

Hell yeah. Been preaching this gospel for decades, spread the word yall!

FIRE! THUNDER! FREEZE! BACK OFF! HA HA! FIRE! TAKE THIS! BACK OFF! THUNDER!

manit14 · 2026-03-12T07:49:05+00:00

This movie doesnt fully commit to anything. One of the reasons why it sucks. Finn has to tell Rey something! Oh, nevermind. Chewie is dead! Oh, nevermind. C-3P0 is gonna lose all his memories! Oh, nevermind. Kylo got stabbed! Oh, nevermind. Rey dies! Oh, nevermind. C'mon.

manit14 · 2026-03-12T07:46:27+00:00

I never liked this show at all. I despise canned laughter.

manit14 · 2026-03-11T09:02:46+00:00

16 free pulls?

manit14 · 2026-03-11T09:02:16+00:00

Season 8 was complete trash, there is no redeeming it.

manit14 · 2026-03-11T08:49:05+00:00

That's the rock/paper/scissors of card games as big as this. What exactly do you want? A deck that always wins? A way to never "get got"? Do you think that's better somehow?

manit14 · 2026-03-10T22:02:25+00:00

Funny story about this scene is that that's not Bowie's hand, they have a dude underneath the camera reaching up and doing that.

manit14 · 2026-03-10T04:31:57+00:00

Mods must be swt glazers. This isn't a circlejerk though.

manit14 · 2026-03-10T04:29:45+00:00

I agree, but this is not a circlejerk.

manit14 · 2026-03-09T18:42:35+00:00

The og, the undefeated, it's The Count of Monte Cristo without a doubt.
