The Star Wars prequel trilogy showed the Jedi at their height, but sadly this ruined Luke Skywalker's power levels and made him look weak.
George Lucas' Star Wars prequel trilogy made Luke Skywalker's Jedi powers look ridiculously weak. The son of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker inherited all his father's powers. In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader revealed he was the one person Palpatine was afraid of, because Luke had the power to destroy him. While it is true this was accomplished in a way the Emperor had not foreseen, the comment indicates just how powerful Luke really is.
In theory, the prequel trilogy set up Luke to be even more impressive. The prequels revealed Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One, a being born of the Force, whose power outstripped that of Master Yoda himself - and Lucas indicated Luke had the same kind of potential. Luke Skywalker is arguably more powerful than Darth Vader himself, given the Dark Lord of the Sith was badly wounded after his fateful battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Star Wars Prequels Made Luke Skywalker Feel Less Impressive In theory, Luke Skywalker is Star Wars' strongest Jedi. Luke was meant to be Star Wars’ greatest hero, the one responsible for the fall of the Empire and Anakin Skywalker’s redemption. Luke was the first character to defeat Darth Vader in combat on-screen, after all.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace wastes no time showing how much impressive the prequel Jedi are than Luke Skywalker or even Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original trilogy. With a bigger budget and more advanced moviemaking techniques, Lucas got to show the Jedi at their prime, at least compared to the age of the Empire. However, in-universe, prime Luke Skywalker should be stronger than the average background Jedi character from the prequels.
Star Wars’ Power Levels Keep Getting Confusing The Star Wars prequels went for a more fantastical approach to the Star Wars galaxy compared to the original trilogy’s relatively grounded space-opera approach. As a result, the Star Wars prequels’ lightsaber fights and action scenes in general were much more inventive and visually interesting than anything in the original Star Wars movies.
