NOTICE: This is a Recap page, so all spoilers will be left unmarked, per wiki policy. Read ahead only with caution! You Have Been Warned.

Almost every generation has idolized a Speculative Fiction hero, like Luke Skywalker, legacy of the Jedi, and Harry Potter, the boy who lived.

Luke Skywalker: As the orphan son of Darth Vader, Luke carries the blood of the most powerful Sith lord ever known. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, who kept him safe before being taught by a wise old mentor in the ways of the Force. Luke's main weapon is the lightsaber, a 4 foot long rod of energy that can cut through most objects like butter. Despite having little formal training, Luke has proved himself a faster learner of lightsaber combat than any other Jedi. His preferred fighting style is Djiem So, which combines aggressive stances with defenses postures to pressure an opponent. The lightsaber is also a defensive weapon, capable of blocking energy attacks.

The Force is his most versatile ability, and with it he can control and sense his environment. The Force gives him increases sense, speed, strength, and telekinesis. Luke can also use Shatterpoint, which enables him to find any crack or fracture in an opponent, and with a little bit of Force, he can explode them.

He also has the Shoto Lightsaber and a blaster. He has no serious weaknesses.

Luke Skywalker: I am Jedi, like my father before me.

Harry Potter: As an orphan, Harry carries the talents of the most powerful dark wizard ever known: Lord Voldemort. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, who kept him "safe" before he was taught by a wise old mentor in the ways of magic.

With his wand, he can cast a variety of spells and is skilled in the ways of charms, which can be used to disarm, confuse, or stun an opponent, or to shield himself and summon objects.

His means of travel are the Firebolt Broomstick, capable of flying 150 MPH, and he has curses, which can be used to destroy objects, control minds and cause pain, and slash an opponent from afar, and kill an opponent. However, one weakness is that spells require a line of sight to be used (not blind firing), but Harry makes up for that with teleportation abilities, and has a magically protected mind from mind control and a cape that makes him invisible.

After an ad from Carbonite, IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!

Harry walks toward Luke, who activates his lightsaber.

FIGHT!

Luke attempts to use the Force to control Harry's mind, but it fails (due to his resistance). Harry tries to cast a spell, but is pushed away by the Force. Luke somersaults in the air as he jumps toward Harry, but Harry teleports behind him. Luke tries to use Force Push again, but Harry magically blocks it.

Harry fires a barrage of spells which are blocked by the lightsaber. Luke lunges forward but Harry teleports again. However, Luke uses the Force to separate Harry from his wand. Luke then attacks again, and Harry teleports again and recovers his wand. Harry summons his broomstick before blocking a thrown lightsaber with magic.

Luke recovers his lightsaber and Harry flies off on his broom. He fires off several spells before Luke uses the force to crash Harry into the ground. Harry puts on his invisibility cloak and teleports around Luke a few times before a Force Push causes the cape to come off.

Luke then attempts to choke Harry with the Force. This seemingly prevents him from casting spells until he casts one to destroy the lightsaber thrown at him. Harry then fires off a barrage of spells, but Luke blocks the all with the Force except for one that wounds but does not kill him. Luke uses Shatterpoint to rip open Harry's scar, and as he scream in pain Luke uses to Force to stab him with the Shoto Lightsaber.

K.O.!

The hosts conclude that Harry was good at keeping Luke at a distance, but Luke fought smart and used the Force to great effect.

Wiz: ...but with Shatterpoint, Luke discovered an exploitable flaw.
Boomstick: That famous lightning-bolt scar, which forced Harry to lose the battle.
Wiz: The winner is Luke Skywalker.
