Luke Skywalker's Legend Terrified Moff GideonMoff Gideon was not just afraid of being taken captive. He was afraid of meeting the legend that was Luke Skywalker.
Moff Gideon, being the position he is in, has definitely heard about Luke Skywalker. He has heard about how dangerous Luke is. He knows Luke has the power to destroy him and his plans which is why he was so scared when he saw the X-wing come in.
The aged Jedi Master had given up on the Force, blaming himself for Ben Solo's fall to the dark side. Luke eventually relented, but he was clearly wary of repeating his past mistakes. In one key scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Luke watched with fear as Rey dove straight into the dark side of the Force.
Not only did Ben care little for the Jedi, he also viewed Luke as the person keeping him away from his parents. And the strict rules of the Order only made matters worse, as Ben felt they limited his potential, and forced him to forgo attachments.
The Tragic Story of a Stormtrooper Who Tried to Befriend Luke Skywalker
Why did Rey beat Kylo Ren so easily?
Summary. Rey gained knowledge and skills through her connection with Kylo Ren, allowing her to tap into his training and skills. Kylo Ren was wounded by Chewbacca's bowcaster, which he believed inhibited his ability to defeat Rey.
The light side is said to be stronger than the dark, but Palpatine's connection to the Force appears to have grown far stronger in Return of the Jedi. So while Luke may have bested him in terms of athletics, Palpatine's Force-powers could very likely give him the victory.
And despite Vader's weaknesses, it's not as if Luke was unskilled, as he spent plenty of time honing his connection to the Force after Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and was likely the most skilled lightsaber-wielder Vader had faced in a long time.
There are few reasons for this; firstly, the young Skywalker has become more powerful. While he didn't continue his traditional training with Master Yoda, Luke was on the field, practicing what he knew thus far, and honing his skills in the real world.
Anakin's fear of loss is something that is visible during every stage of his life: and it began with Shmi. He didn't want to let her go, he feared for her when he saw visions of his mother suffering which led to his desire to develop even more powerful abilities — to save the ones he loved.
By the time of Return of the Jedi, Luke is considered a Jedi Knight. But even at this level, his abilities seem to pale in comparison to the average Jedi from the prequel trilogy. Aside from Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi is also weak in the original trilogy compared to himself in the prequels.
He terrorized the galaxy at his masters side for over twenty years. Luke however did forgive his father, Anakin Skywalker. He knew he was manipulated by Sidious. That his father was a good person.
Summary. Palpatine's true source of power comes from his intense hatred for everyone in the galaxy, which only fuels his strength. Not only that, but the more people hate Palpatine, the stronger he becomes as well, making inspiring hatred a crucial part of increasing his strength.
Most viewers have forgotten that Palpatine seems to have been afraid of Yoda in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - and even tried to flee from their duel.
Palpatine both feared and respected Yoda, with some faint contempt. Yoda held his ground whilst battling Palpatine at the Senate building and demonstrated that he could match the Sith Lord in raw power, even if he did fail in defeating Sidious.
Snoke and his many copies were not a clone of any known individual the way the Clone Army soldiers were modified copies of Jango Fett. Nor was he a one-for-one recreation of a previous body like Palpatine's clone body. Snoke was an entirely new being made from scratch, and Dr.
In the process, confirming that Snoke, Luke, and the Knights were all figures in Ben Solo's life at the same time. And apparently, Luke fought Snoke, as well.
Kylo thought he had destroyed a key part of the past that tormented him, but would soon discover Snoke had been created and controlled by a more powerful master of the dark side, as part of a sinister scheme set in motion decades earlier.
Kylo develops a close relationship with Rey and starts feeling genuine affection towards her, so when Snoke reveals that he had manipulated their bond and tortures her in front of Ren, he looks furious at his master. Thus, when Snoke orders Ren to kill Rey, he chooses to save her and kill his master instead.
Kylo lost to Rey in TFA because he was heavily wounded and was holding back against her due to Snoke's request that he bring her back to him alive. He is also stated by Palpatine in the Secrets of the Sith book to be “equally as powerful as a real Sith despite not being one”.
This caused him to attempt to assassinate him in his sleep. Needless to say, Kylo Ren is almost definitely a significant threat. However, we cannot definitively say that he is more powerful than Luke. Kylo's powers are vast but they are still highly unbalanced and difficult to control.
