Okänd, men 20.000 verkar vara en säker satsning
Så vitt jag vet har det specifika antalet midi-klorier som Luke besitter inte fastställts i nuvarande Disney-kanon. Som sagt kan vissa intervjuer med George Lucas kasta lite begränsat ljus i frågan.
Enligt en intervju med George Lucas i Rolling Stone .
You got it. And when he finds out Luke is his son, his first impulse is to figure out a way of getting him to join him to kill the Emperor. That’s what Siths do! He tries it with anybody he thinks might be more powerful, which is what the Emperor was looking for in the first place: somebody who would be more powerful than he was and could help him rule the universe. But Obi-Wan screwed that up by cutting off his arms and legs and burning him up. From then on, he wasn’t as strong as the Emperor – he was like Darth Maul or Count Dooku. He wasn’t what he was supposed to become. But the son could become that.
Och kanske ännu tydligare :
“Anakin, as Skywalker, as a human being, was going to be extremely powerful,” he says. “But he ended up losing his arms and a leg and became partly a robot. So a lot of his ability to use the Force, a lot of his powers, are curbed at this point, because, as a living form, there’s not that much of him left. So his ability to be twice as good as the Emperor disappeared, and now he’s maybe 20 percent less than the Emperor. So that isn’t what the Emperor had in mind. He wanted this really super guy, but that got derailed by Obi-Wan. So he finds that, with Luke, he can get a more primo version if he can turn Luke to the Dark Side.”
Det här innebär ganska tydligt att Luke kunde bli vad Anakin var tänkt att vara: En Force-användare starkare än Darth Maul, Count Dooku eller Darth Sidious. Luke är helt enkelt som "mer primo" -version av Anakin, obesvarad av förlust av extremiteter eller robotisering. Anakin med de midi-kloriska nivåer som han hade i sin ungdom, med andra ord.
Detta föreslår att Luke porträttades med samma generella maktnivå (och kanske midi-chlorians) som Anakin: 20 000 :
Qui-Gon took a slow, deep breath and exhaled softly. “What do the readings say, Obi-Wan?”
“They say the midi-chlorian count is twenty thousand.”

Men ett viktigt tillvägagångssätt gäller: Nu när Disney ansvarar för kanon, kan inget av detta gälla. Det verkar som om Disney är försöker generellt för att hålla sin kanon i linje med vad Lucas skrev, så dessa uttalanden kan ses som att ha någon kanongiltighet. Vidare är några av de bästa personerna associerade med den nya kanonen, såsom J.J. Abrams, har föreslagit att de inte vill ifrågasätta Lucas uttalanden:
I will just say this: I would never presume to question anything George Lucas says is canon in Star Wars. And our job was not to negate or undo. A lot of people who are critics of our Star Trek, and I respect all of them, said we destroyed what they loved and negated everything. And we worked hard to clarify that we are not saying that our Star Trek over-rides a thing of the original Star Trek — it was a parallel timeline. I never wanted to negate canon that fans held so dear. And because I love Star Wars and have for too many years… … And having said all that and meaning it — I don’t want to presume over-write or change what George says the rules are.
Vidare, vilken är -kanon har visat att Luke lyckats med några ganska imponerande prestationer, som till synes avböjer en explosion med hjälp av Force ( Shattered Empire ):
Och det faktum att Luke besegrade Vader i ljuskampbekämpning efter att ha givit sin ilska är naturligtvis fortfarande ganska kanonisk, vilket ger oss bevis för att han är starkare än vadarens maktnivå från den ursprungliga trilogin.
