That’s not the point I was trying to do. I’m saying they should’ve showed him this threatening since the beginning, because at that point his role as the main villain was ruined to my eyes.

What do you mean? The first scene he’s in he stops a blasterbolt mid air for a long time while having a conversation at the same time. Tutaminis is cool and all but that Force Ability even eclipses it completely.

Also a feat is a feat no matter how diminished someone is to your eyes. Especially when this feat is accomplished under duress.

-managing to “disarm” a Wampa;

Well I was mainly talking about in terms of lightsaber dueling and all matters of the Force but okay…and you’re right about that point.

-successfully leading an attack against AT-AT and using stratagems;

Though he successfully destroyed and AT-AT the rebellion still lost the battle.

-learning more about the Force (granted he didn’t learn how to fully control it);

Didn’t serve him that well other than not being frozen in Carbonite (which could have been avoided if Vader had just choked him out)

-not be tricked by Vader;

When did Vader try to trick him?

-not giving into fear;

You mean when facing Vader? If so then yes.

-keeping fighting against Vader (something Kershner himself stressed in the commentary for its importance);

Vader was toying with him for a majority of the duel and when he didn’t Luke got destroyed. He landed a lucky blow but was utterly decimated.

-being able to survive his fall

That’s really a giant plot convinced but can be attributed to the will of The Force but whatever lol

using his knowledge to call Leia for help;

Though it’s not established exactly how he’s able to do that it is a mighty impressive feat.
