Lets also not forget, this game has nothing to do with canon-ness aside from some abilities and their descriptions and characters's appearance. The character's actual power is not based off of canon. Which makes sense, seeing as this game is supposed to be a holo game played in a cantina.
Wait, what the heck did I just read on this thread.
Luke is not relevant?
You guys must be out of your **** minds - or, at the very least, you guys need to watch the OT again.
Let's see:
1) By the time of A New Hope, as a farmer boy who had never moved off the planet, Luke triggers part of Leia's message that R2D2 recorded, and afterwards helps finding Obi Wan; he helps on Leia's rescue; lastly, he uses the Force to single handly destroy the first Death Star.
All of this through a period of still trying to learn the ways of the Force, while he was clearly too old to start;
2) On The Empire Strikes Back, Luke spends 3 years learning alone the ways of the Force and becoming a hero of the rebellion. Theres no denying that. Then, he starts training with Master freaking Yoda, starts having Force Premonitions and goes 1v1 against Vader. He lost, but he throws himself off the bridge so he wouldnt join his father.
3) On Return of the Jedi, he's already a bad **** Jedi and rescues everybody, goes toe to toe with Vader, beats him, doesnt fall to the Dark Side and can withstand Force Lightning by the Emperor himself.
Sure, there is a lot to cover as far as Luke cannon is concerned, but to say he is irrelevant or overrated is, at the very least, not knowing the Star Wars universe/lore.
Luke Skywalker is one of the greatest of all time.
Couldn't agree with everything you just said anymore.. people only mentiong ROTJ but forgetting new trilogy of movies yet to be released showcasing Luke's power, like how Kylo stopped that blaster shot not seen in SW movie before most likely was learnt from Luke.. or when he defeated all the knights of ren on his own loooool, we'll see
So, we are basing the idea of him being the greatest Jedi ever off of what powers he MIGHT have in future movies?
Darth Plagueis supposedly knew how to cheat death. I'm sure he didn't learn that from a Jedi, so what makes you think stopping a blaster shot was a technique learned from a Jedi?
When have we ever heard that you could learn more from the light side than the dark side? Hell, the only thing the light side seemed to figure out that the dark side (supposedly) can't do is the Force Ghost.
Luke in ROTJ was no different than Anakin/Vader in ROTS. Both were self-fulfilling. He was not this great hero that he's made out to be.
Sure, he blew up the death star. Let's not forget he would have been blown away if not for Han Solo showing up and saving his ****. He was a good pilot, just like his father.
Yeah, he trained with Yoda, but he left his buddies hanging out to dry.
He beat Vader because of his rage, but was practically defenseless against Palpatine.
I like Luke, but I don't think the guy beats Yoda or Kenobi in their prime. Maybe these new movies will show him to be an all-powerful jedi.
Either way, to the point of the OP, no, he shouldn't be anti-sith.

In the movies, no. In the EU he's regarded as one of the most powerful people in the galaxy
He beat Vader in Jedi. It took him succumbing (at least a little bit) to his rage, but he did it.
Non-Canon - This game with last 2 metas been Wiggs and Maul.
