It doesn't always feel good to compare yourself to your parents

Luke at 23 - Jedi Master

Anakin at 23 - Not a Jedi Master

Sith lord, jedi master, tomayto, tomawto
- Apprentice* Sith Lord

On the other hand, he didn't get two of his limbs chopped off and end up thrown into a pit of lava a short time later, requiring him to spend the rest of his life in an armored suit. So maybe the incest was worth it?

- Look at Darth Vader. I stand by my statement.
- That just activated a long supressed and forgotten part of gaming history. At one point in Final Fantasy XI, you could get a really powerful sword from a dragon. Someone once asked "Would you fuck your sister for a Ridill". Not everyone said no... I might be getting the phrasing of the question wrong since it was 10+ years ago. I tried googling but nothing came up.
I could be wrong, but I read someone else’s comment years ago that said the suit was like that on purpose and it was a way for the emperor to control him or something.
Anyway, that might not even be canon even if it’s in some book or game.
- It's canon. The suit was purposefully made in a very flawed way, so that Vader would have a difficult time winning a battle against Sidious. Even in his crippled state, Vader was a major threat. Also, it's not entirely clear why it happens in-universe, but Vader's burnt body was supposed to heal over time, yet it never did - not until Luke brought back a spark of goodness in his heart.

Number of younglings slain:

Luke - 0
Anakin - Numerous

Are we absolutely sure there were no kids on the deathstar?
- Fair point, but... why would they lol
- That's a good point.
"Master Skywalker, there are too many of them. What are we going to do?"
"We're gonna SIIING!"

Luke at 22: Blew up the Death Star

Kinda big thing to not include

I think he was 19 when he blew up the Death Star. 22 when he kissed Leia in ESB which I believe takes place 2 years after A New Hope.
- 2 years after A New Hope.
  20,21…22
  Erm

Luke at 22: Jedi Master

Anakin at 22: ...

Bet Anakin had power converters, though.

Guys can we please not make comparisons like this? Everybody is on their own life journey at their own pace. Anakin was taken in to be the apprentice of a great Jedi master when he was but a wee lad, luke had no opportunities beyond farming dirt and constructing additional pylons with his aunt and uncle well into adulthood.

These types of comparisons are unfair and unhealthy and promote unrealistic expectations on young impressionable minds.

I asked Luke Skywalker and he said he is okay with this meme. Oddly, I couldn't get in touch with his father.
My father was a piece of shit when he was 22 and he's still a piece of shit. I'm a piece of shit, but not nearly the piece of shit that he is. That makes me better than him. I like these comparisons.

Tbf, they both made out with a princess, and while Anakin mostly farmed bots for exp Luke's actual KDA was amazing.

Did the death star have a daycare? If so, he got anakin beat on younglings slaughtered too.
- I don’t think so. The Death Star was a military vessel, and spouses/children don’t usually don’t get to come along on those sorts of things. Having said that, maybe there would be some children on if there was some sort of christening celebration or school field trip on board at the time of the attack.
- ... Hundreds
  (But not filled yet)

He destroyed the Death Star and rescued a princess. Those seem notable.

Anakin lost to Obi Wan so I'm not sure how you can consider him the strongest Jedi.

He lost because he was arrogant, not because he was weak. That's the entire point of the "it's over Anakin, I have the high ground" thing.
- Arrogance should be part of the power calculation though.
You've just signaled you don't understand Star Wars' plot, prepare for a deluge of explanations.
In short, Anakin was emotionally unstable during his battle against Obi-Wan. Under normal circumstances, he'd wipe the floor with his master. In the making of accounts and Star War History books, both George Lucas and Nick Gillard (choreographer for all fights before Disneyfication) confirm that Anakin was an equal to Yoda and Sidious at the end of RotS, far surpassing Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
As a fun aside, in the animated series The Clone Wars, we get a glimpse at Anakin's full potential - the ability to control all of the force at once, even swapping day for night on a whim.
- Mace windu was actually strong as fuck though. Like he genuinely bested sidious in saber combat. It wasn’t an act.
  Also, I read once that obi wan and anakin were so used to sparring together that the difference in power didn’t matter.

I had a friend that "trained" french kissing on her brother. She told me this when we were +25 like it was super nornal and one of the pluses of having a brother (he was 1 year young only, so he wasn't being abused. They were just like this)

These are the dangers of exposing kids to Star Wars too early.

Kids - listen to me. There's only ONE star wars movie. The rest are fan-made films that are fun but meaningless. Don't get confused.

The Star Wars Holiday Special with the Ewoks?
the clone wars movie?
That's an odd way to spell Space Balls..
Caravan Of Courage?
The Phantom Menace?

Me at 22:

You're more than enough.
- I love you guys 🥹
- aww you're so sweet thx
Be the sister fucker you want to see in the world. Don't let your memes be dreams.
- thank you, I will go look for a sister then

I mean, compare them at 23 next.

Anakin - supreme commander of all Empire forces, feared across the galaxy. Can do any crime with no repercussion, except treason.
Luke - Stranded on a swamp.
This.

"Future father" is the glass half-full version of "former child".

I suppose "expecting father" is probably the more accurate phrase

The "General" part doesn't really count since all Jedi were automatically commissioned with high ranks during the war. Ahsoka was a Commander at 16, leading troops into battle while still a padawan.

What matters is how it's going to look on the résumé, not why you got the position 🌚
To be fair, "Padawan to the literal chosen embodiment of the force" seems like it'd provide better benefits than a regular Padawan.

Ahem, he was also bulls-eyeing womp rats in his T-16.

🎶 Sweet home Alderaan 🎶

Anakin at 22 will be a father in the future.

lol
