I always went with "If violence isn't the answer, you haven't applied enough violence." This was always said in jest; it is a horrible life philosophy. Don't actually listen to that advice. (Disclaimer over.)

If your backed into a corner, you have to do what you have too do, to survive. The real question is do you want to live to see another day or let this guy beat you too death or worse? It's either fight or die in some cases. This is why knowing how to defend yourself is important, because there will come a day where you will need it, if your lucky it won't happen, but why risk not being ready when it does?
not only did just one man walk out he was dragging the body of Vader behind him in full view of everyone who was scrambling to evacuate after the rebel ships managed to get past the fighter screens and enter the superstructure of the death star 2. it is no wonder Giddion and any other Imperial remnant officer would be terrified of Luke showing up at their command cruiser/base.
The best response to Jedi is a saturation bombardment. Sure it might not kill them, but after the sixth or seventh time they won't want to fight anymore.
As a child in the 80s we never got to see Luke truly in his element. This series allowed us to see a glimpse at how bad-ass Luke was. The hairs stood on the back of my neck and my eyes sensed onions in the house. A thing to behold. And a thing of beauty. Well played Jon Favreau, well played.
@@noxion4143 Really hard to say, as the significant rumor, even among those involved with the production of the show was that it would be Plo Koon, but a decent number of rumors insisted it might even be Mace Windu. If anything, the idea of it actually being Luke was so straight forward that most people completely disregarded the possibility, not least given how the sequel films panned out.
@@noxion4143 when it was the X-Wing showed up, I smiled, hoping. Then the gloved hand holding a green saber. Finally got the real Luke, post Jedi, on screen.
From the imperials eyes this is the guy who walked in the imperial throne chamber killed both palpatine and Darth Vader and walked out like nothing happened
@@nekken73when someone says something like what nick said they mean from their perspective its like an outsider watching the aftermath of a fight you can guess what happened and that's it
What made this scene for me was that I played the original Star Wars: Dark Forces game which first introduced the Dark Trooper Program. I knew exactly how much work it took to kill the armored robot variants. This made the ease with which Luke took the entire platoon down amazing to behold.
And if they got into the Real Canon, then Cade Skywalker of the remnants of the Jedi Order ends up being the perfect Grey Jedi if there ever was one. He is literally standing with one foot in the Darkside and one Foot in the Lightside and is the first to truly understand what it means to walk the path of the Force. However he steers more towards the Light. Not to mention the Imperial Emperor is a mix of Fel/Antilles/Solo/Skywalker ancestry and also is guarded by his own full Order of Imperial Guard Jedi. Both of them fierce supporters of each other and take no crap from anyone. Emperor Fel is also a Jedi in his own right.
@@chrismath149 Revan was the predecessor of Cade. No family relation obviously, but Cade is the only other individual who actually managed to Master the fine line and willfully cross over at any time and not get seduced by the Dark side.
Gotta love that they managed to give Luke just enough light to convey he's good, but just enough strength and darkness to make him actually intimidating. Awesome.
It's storytelling through choreography. Luke is not evil - his moves aren't flashy, brutal, or forceful. But he's also intimidating and very powerful with the force - his moves have no effort, and the simplicity and ease is brutally intimidating in and of itself.
I like how he keeps his hood up the whole time, like he's even stronger when he's just moving along with the Force and not even bothering with his own eyesight. Obi-Wan's first lesson..
@@VulpisFoxfire Darth Vader had a lot of extra strength due to his cybernetics, and was cutting through relatively unarmoured meatbags, and not heavily armoured droids. A droid can also take a lightsaber hit and remain functional if it was misplaced. A meatbag will be in a lot of pain, and probably isn't getting up, unless they can draw on the power of hate to push on.
@@VulpisFoxfire and Vader was fighting a bunch of normal, average and terrified human soldiers, whereas Luke was fighting a group of heavily armoured and emotionless Dark Troopers who are pretty much a match one-on-one for the best of the Mandalorians. As impressive as Vader’s largely effortless corridor scene was give me Luke’s slightly higher effort but totally trouble-free progress here as the overall more impressive feat. I’d also add that Luke achieved what he came to do… Vader, for all the people he killed, ultimately did not.
I like how we see here, in Rebels, and in Rogue One that a trained force user is a MENACE compared to regular people. Like sure you can GET it in the other media, but those scenes are so great at reminding you why it was important that someone be policing how these people used The Force. The old order might have been a failure at the end, but they were definitely necessary.
This is probably never better demonstrated than in The Clone Wars when Maul is unarmed when Order 66 happens and he causes absolute chaos against any clone in his path.
@@adamluther5836 Oh yeah! I forgot about that scene! But exactly! Like The Jedi Order screwed the pooch, but SOMEBODY needs to be around asking "what the force users doin?"
You know, watching this a second time, the developers really did a good job of making Luke look similar to when Anakin walked into Mustafar. Not just the way he looked with the hooded cloak, but even his fighting style and mannerisms with the lightsaber and his gloved hand he used to crush that droid. I kept thinking, Like father, like son. Man, I miss the EU and what could have been. Good scene, though. F*(&^%* rip and tear.
Now that you mention it, it reminds me of how Luke actually used his lightsaber in the old films at times. No style, just primal and vicious. A particular scene that comes to mind is when he is down swinging on a helpless Darth Vader doing everything he can to guard against Luke's constant bashing. I guess Luke found a method that worked and he just stuck with it lol.
Best parts is when he says GET OVER HERE! And force pulls one into his lightsaber and when he just straight up crushes one with the force like a soda can, you know yoda and obi wan and qui gon are proud😂
Honestly, those are the like stormtrooper battle droid security droid thingies it's actually really surprising that there is so many on the ship. Given the empire stance on droids, they try and minimise the usage of droids as much as possible, which is probably what led to the development of better computer systems. So they didn't need things like astromex for a lot of the tasks they used to need them for or so. I like how all the battle droid see Luke such a threat that they all stop what they're doing to try and get him
Moff Gideon's reaction is pure priceless. pure fear strook that man as he saw the Prescence of Luke as he believed Luke defeated the emperor and Vader. but we all knew what happened but he didn't! muahah
One dude shows up, they don't know if he's friend or foe, and with a archaic laser sword he slowly and methodically without any sense of danger, fear or anxiety destroys a platoon of some the scariest battle robots the party has ever seen...
This music makes this scene 100 times more badass, than it already is. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader always been my favorite characters. Luke is one of my favorites, because he is just like his father, except he uses his anger for good and he channels it. I have a lot of anger myself, and I have to do the same thing Luke does or bad things would happen. The only difference is that I can't move things and hold a lightsaber, but I do use martial arts as an escape for my anger. That's why I love star wars, it's pretty much Martial Arts, except with lightsabers and the force, the force represents Chi, The Lightsaber forms represent Martial Arts Styles, and just like in real Martial Arts, you have too channel all your emotions, you don't want to feel them so you can react better in a fight and so you don't hesitate, emotion is your greatest strength if you channel it and control the emotion, but it's your weakness if you let the emotion control you and take over.
If you’re wondering why moff Gideon was so scared it’s because all he knew about Luke skywalker was the fact that he went into a room with Vader and palpatine and was the only one to walk out.
Luke is my favorite, if you disagree you’re wrong watch him grow from a young and somewhat naive boy into Someone with humility then into a strong willed hero who is wise and believes there can be good in the worst of some of us. He grew so much out of the original trilogy and became my favorite quickly, I loved this you can see how his skill has grown and how how he fights without fear and true skill.
This is what I loved about S1 of the Mandalorian soo much. It did the world building so well that you forget there’s jedis in this universe. Until one shows up and he’s an absolute cheat code.
I remember watching that episode with my Star Wars nerds. Seeing the X-Wing fighter was awesome. When Luke pulled out his green lite lightsaber, we were all going nuts. Moff Gideon's balls started sweating when he knew it was a Jedi Master.
I just dont see the allure of this fight scene. Its clunky as hell and makes you wonder what was so dangerous about the droids anyway if their rate of fire was about 1 blaster bolt per minute.
@@deviant_ghost I unfortunately have to agree. While I want to like this scene the choreography is just terrible. There's dozens of moments that I can point where he should have been doing things simultaneously instead of sequentially. It's like watching someone play a fighting game in slow motion. This doesn't even touch on the fact that his use of the force is to show off and in a real fight would have gotten him killed. All in all, I applaud you making this video but sadly Disney has let us down again with a sub par scene that feels nothing like the way Luke Skywalker would fight. Comparing this to the original trilogy just leaves me looking at what Disney have done to our boy in disappointment. They banked on the excitement of seeing Luke again but once the hype wore off all we're left with is a hollow imitation. So thumbs up, great idea for a video and good execution and timing. Sadly it won't make up for Disney being garbage.
@@deviant_ghost Hey, thank you for making this great vid. I think my favorite moment is when the warning sign is flashing on the screen. It has the EXACT same energy as when you hear "The slayer has entered the facility." So source material aside you have a keen eye for this kind of cinematography it looks like.
Firstly the reason they were so scary was how strong and durable they were. They aren't fast. At all. The Imperial remnant built them to counter soldiers, not jedi. Against jedi you need speed. Against soldiers you need bullet proof durability and the ability to push through fortifications. I see a lot of Luke waiting for them to decide on an action, and then immediately reacting to that action with an action of his own, faster than they can. You have to remember, Luke has been around droids his whole life. He repaired R2 as a teen. He's not fighting them like he would a person.
STILL blows my mind, every time I see it. I'm so happy the Mando series did this. Was amazing... and generally erases Episodes 7/8/9 because THIS is the true Luke Skywalker.
We rarely see the sheer overpowering force of the jedi since we followed the skywalker saga but with mando the differences between force users and none are levels beyond
Honestly, this was one of the most bad-ass scenes in the Star Wars Universe! Luke went straight terminator mode: Killer Bots mindset as Luke casually strolls through their ranks wreaking havoc and leaving a trail of destruction! “Listen, and understand. That Jedi is out there, he can't be bargained with, he can't be reasoned with, he doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and he absolutely will not stop… EVER, until you are dead!”
I don't think people realize how powerful luke was after the empires defeat with him finnaly able to complete his training he exceeded levels beyond his own fathers but effecient and well balanced like obi wan
This is the best video on RU-vid. This goes straight into the favorites playlist. ♾️/10. This is A W E S O M E. I love this. I’m gonna subscribe right now JUST FOR THIS VIDEO.
