Who would win a battle to the death?

JAETHEWARRIOR

Before anakin turns to the dark side and luke at his prime.

The problem here is that Anakin supposedly (never seen them) gains a LOT of strength in The Clone Wars. So "before dark side" has 3 options: Ep II Anakin (lots weaker than Luke), TCW Anakin (probably a tie) or early Ep III Anakin (doesn't count, already under Palpatine's spell).

JAETHEWARRIOR

Anakin before turning to darkside. Don't forget to vote

The first time I read this I took "a tie" as a necktie and I was slightly confused

Glad I wasn't alone XD

And I voted Anakin because I based it on Ep 3 BEFORE he fell (like right when he went to Windu to turn in Palpatine.

I've never heard of Anakin walker, and I'm pretty sure Luke could beat a tie fighter, so I'm going Luke

Anakin and Obi Wan were basically assassins. They were highly trained in battle and could beat the best of them.

Luke was a boy with a sword who beat his father with psychological warfare. The second he faced someone else (Palpatine) he almost died.

Vader was mentally weak. Luke exploited that.

Didn't he also beat his father in a sword fight before he threw his own sword down?

Yeah. And Vader wasn't trying hard enough or wasn't distant enough from the light side to battle at his full potential.

You realize that anakin had a lot of proper training and an entire war of experience? Luke played with a few training droids and took Yodas two week boot camp.

All the more hail to Luke then, as he didn't even have proper training. Imagine how strong he would be between movies VI and VII.

Anakin Walker as in an undead Anakin? If that's the case I'd say Luke since the force is made up of living things and Anakin would just get wrecked while stumbling around.

they are the same person so that means they would be beating themselves

and that's not very pg

Anakin. He was the Chosen One. More midichlorians than Yoda. (Forgive me) The whole premise of the Star Wars franchise was that he was created to bring balance to the force. Which he did. He fell to the dark side and destroyed a decadent Jedi order with Sidious as his puppet master and then his son Luke frees him from Palpatines bonds and he destroys the Sith. He was an instrument of the force. A victim of destiny that no one could understand. Luke was an intelligent yet overall weaker force user. Read the books. Btw, as Darth Vader, Anakin lost most of his force potential, becoming more a measure of fear than sheer power, he could not use the physical destructive force as his robotics would fail.

Veradun

Anakin, before and even as he was falling would decisively dismember his embattled child.

No way Anakin before darkside beats Luke. Luke defeats Vader (arguably), and one else even comes close.

Sure they are related, but Vader has been dark longer than he has been a father.. Luke wins HANDS down..

I am not agreeing with any posts about Anakin strength at any time before that, Anakin is a wuss.. until he becomes Vader and even then there was a period he had to learn to be that good.

OK then we need a new SW movie to show this battle, they can simply call the movie Anakin. I think there is enough content with his history to have an entire movie focused around him.. I would see it definitely..

I think people are biased because Vader is probably the most cunning lethal villian in history.. So it's not a fair comparison, the man BEFORE darkside is weak, has a lot to learn.. Luke was taught by Yoda, so the only person to truly make that a assessment would be Yoda.

I am confident he would say "Luke, powerful he is, none stronger to beat any opponent."

Anakin would ramble on about "midichlorians", "sand", cry about Padmé, do a dozen flips, mumble something about not underestimating his power.

And Luke would be like, "You're not crying again, are you?"

Luke FTW

Jedi_Yoda

Also Anakin was NOT the chosen one:

The prophecy of the Chosen One was a Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who would bring balance to the Force. Some Jedi, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, also referred to the prophecy as predicting the Chosen One would destroy the Sith. Yoda cautioned at one point that the prophecy might have been misinterpreted.[2]

In the decades before the Clone Wars, the Chosen One was believed to be born in the form of Anakin Skywalker, and said to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians.[1]

Luke is the one that ultimately prevails.... so LUKE is the real chosen one.

No no no no... I foresee Jar Jar becoming the most powerful Jedi of all!!

Veradun

Again, read the books. Furthermore, in the movies Yoda could not defeat Count Dooku, Anakin did (as a man). Vader was a twisted shell, yes he was beaten by Luke, but it's not like he was upset about it, he was relieved and, ultimately, redeemed. Yet, HE (Anakin/Vader) threw down Sidious. Luke couldn't even get within striking distance.

Veradun

Misread, possibly, or just misunderstood. Again, Anakin is the one who brought balance (grand scale), just not the way the Council could understand. Btw, Yoda (greatest Jedi) could not defeat Sidious. Do or do not, there is no try. He did not...

CaptainRex

No contest. Anakin is the most powerful Jedi in history, completely comprised of midi-chlorians. He has had years of training. Luke spent most of his life playing with toy ships.

There are no prequels...
