" Luke. Wasnt he able to mess with a black hole or something. sorry for bump btw "Yes. The Vong used creatures called dovin basals which had the ability to generate gravity fields and effectively create black holes. Dovin basals were usually kept aboard Vong ships, and the black holes were used to draw missiles and other fire away from the ships. As the Vong were using a dovin basal to move a black hole it created, Luke telekinetically held the black hole in place as they were trying to move it. Once they made their attempt to move it max capacity, Luke released his hold over it and pushed his own telekinetic power to move it farther than the Vong intended. This resulted in the black hole consuming the ship the dovin basal was situated in.
Luke wins. No need to explain as Silver and Jedi are already here to trounce any argument against him.. :D

He has better combat speed feats.

Luke is fast." @Silver2467 said:
" @Zoom: Luke actually has better combat speed than Diana does. "How so? "
" @Silver2467: ok oneness ive heard about that in other forums with luke what does it do for him "When Luke or any other Force sensitive enters Oneness, they become Force energy and increase their effectiveness in combat and overall power until the the state wears off.
They more have to attune themselves in the Force (not through concentration, since Luke did it in combat). The ability is not often used. But I already told you Luke has greater operational speed than Diana without it. So what difference does that make?" @Silver2467: can someoen like luke acsess this at will? or does it require great concentration or something "
It's basically becoming merged with the Force, like the state of becoming a Force Ghost, except you've achieved it while still living. Theoretically the Jedi/Sith doing this reaches the pinnacle of their potential power, as they are becoming one with the Force, but it appears to manifest differently / incompletely among some. For example, Barriss gained Omnipresence through both time and space and possible Omniscience, while Luke pretty much became the unstoppable walking "fire and brimstone" essence." @Silver2467: ok oneness ive heard about that in other forums with luke what does it do for him "

" @Silver2467: Those are interesting reads but they do not prove his superior combat speed. Especially when I have no way of knowing if those listed people are comparable to Superman's combat speed. "I agree. The only actual measurement of speed we have is the lightning reference. Of which I'm pretty sure WW could replicate.
I should also point out that Sidious never even reached his prime until Dark Empire, which was around three decades later, and Luke fought him during Dark Empire.

Lightning, light speed, whatever. The point is Static was not nor is he capable of that speed. It just sounded cool." @erik said:

Do you have other feats that solidify their ability to fight at light speed?
" @Silver2467 said:For Sidoius or Luke? Because, for Sidious, he managed to blitz Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin, then appeared as a blur to Windu (if you know anything about EU Windu, he know he has some impressive speed feats), his duel with Yoda was described as a "lightning speared tornado of feet and fist and blades," etc. As for Luke, I already mentioned several things, and he has other speeds feats that I neglected to mention as well, such as fighting so fast that he appeared to have ten or twenty lightsabers when he entered Oneness.Lightning, light speed, whatever.

I meant for anyone really. But you are name dropping like crazy and you know that I am not a Star Wars guy. It is really why I am asking the questions.
Appearing as a blur is cool but Wolverine does that. That is hardly light speed or anything close to it.
I need solid feats that without question are light speed. Not open for interpretation.
You missed the point. They have appeared as a blur to characters with high levels of super speed. It is not just appearing as a blur to random bystanders or cannon fodder thugs. Luke has moved so fast that he was physically invisible to other speedsters.
There is really nothing else for me to tell you.
Okay. I am not trying to poke holes in your arguments. I am trying to understand your claims. So far, as a person ignorant in Star Wars lore, I am really unsatisfied with the presented evidence though. There has to be more to support their light speed fighting ability or at least there should be.
As for poking holes in my arguments, I have no issue with that. If what I support my case with is unsatisfactory, then I will restudy it to try to present it, hopefully, more convincingly.
" All of this is comparative, however. We have no reference to how fast these "speedsters" you keep comparing Luke and Sidious to are. I agree with the end result that Luke wins this fight, but I just don't really buy your arguments for light speed Jedi. "Yes, there is. If you know what their speed feats are, then the comparison is there. I will have no MPH statistic to give you, but I can give you the comparison made for speed feats, because generally, those are how speed is measured in the EU.
And I am not really sure what you mean by "light speed JedI" either. Aside from Luke and Sidious, no one else has demonstrated anything to suggest they can operate that fast.
" @erik: There does? Flash doesn't have to one-shot Kryptonian level opponents more than once for me to know he can. As for poking holes in my arguments, I have no issue with that. If what I support my case with is unsatisfactory, then I will restudy it to try to present it, hopefully, more convincingly. "Yes. There does. We know Flash can do what he can because he operates on that level often. If he never had operated on that level and then one day did, then never operated on that level afterwards, that instance would be considered PIS.
You have one example that to me, is just hyperbole to jazz up the description of the scene.
But again, I was not trying to poke holes in the argument. I was and still am trying to get an understanding of the character's abilities.
" @Silver2467 said:Yes, but how often does Flash actually one-shot characters with Kryptonian level durability? I was not referencing his speed during New World Order. I was referencing his IMP." @erik: There does? Flash doesn't have to one-shot Kryptonian level opponents more than once for me to know he can.

There is really nothing to suggest it would be hyperbole, especially considering that throughout the entire duel, speed was a focus of the descriptions.
This is actually totally understandable. As someone who also once was unfamiliar with the EU, everything stated in the SWU novels and comics sounds outlandish and exaggerated. The EU - especially the novels, which are more explanatory, detailed, and gritty - have a completely different feel from the Star Wars movies." @Silver2467: Okay.

The power levels are completely off the scales. The variety of powers is abundant. There is way more depth to everything. Trust me, read the novels. It's not a hyperbole, it's dead on. These people walk on lava, manipulate black holes, create wormholes, devour planets, manipulate space and time, such as time travel and teleportation, have superhuman traits, like superhuman strength (one Jedi has even used telekinesis in the same fashion as TTK), speed, durability, and such, are literally immortal and unkillable.
I kid you not, this stuff is completely beyond what most people would expect if they are only familiar with Lucas' movies.
" @Silver2467 said:Diana's reaction speed is actually superior to Superman's due to training" @Zoom: Luke actually has better combat speed than Diana does. "Really? How fast because Diana is nearly a match for Superman's combat speed. "
" @erik: Does the book have to say the words "light speed" more than once in the same duel? If it already established that Sidious was fighting at light speed, then what would the purpose of stating the same thing again later on within the same few pages? "In order for me not to associate it with my previously mentioned Static example, yeah. At least as an outsider to the Star Wars lore. I am of the 'consistency equals credibility' cloth after all. But Reactor backed you up so it seals it for me.
