Blocking Shepard's rounds will be useless considering when it impacts the lightsaber the metal will melt on impact then hot molten ashes will go all over Luke causing considerable pain. However, this is a year after Endor and Luke will without a doubt have unlocked the ability to redirect projectiles. I mean really, Jedi was like 6 months after Empire and look at what Luke accomplished in all that time with NO master what so ever. Surely a year after he'll have unlocked an ability this basic if he hasn't already unlocked it. Basically Luke can make them all go back at Shepard and cause damage to his shields and armor. Luke isn't skilled with firearms and they won't be effective against Shepard considering he is FAR more skilled with them. So I'm just ignoring them.

Considering the redirecting shots, Shepard's firearms won't be extremely useful either. Weapon wise this comes down to Shepard's biotics and shields Vs. the Force and Luke's lightsaber. Offensively biotics are far more dangerous then the Light side of the force. Still the force will offer a good defense and offense. Redirecting shots will be the most important defensive ability. Force speed will be an important offensive ability. There's an important possibility to take into account that Shepard won't use his biotics at first, and that he will just open fire on Luke allowing him to redirect the shots which may or may not penetrate his armor depending on how many shots he fires. I assume Shepard will stop firing fairly quickly once he sees them go back at him. So it should probably just damage the armor. Maybe knock down the shields. Honestly if Luke can get close to Shepard, Shepard is crewed, really screwed.

Honestly, Biotics aren't necessarily better then Luke's unlocked lightside abilities. ? A lot of biotics can be avoided or countered. ? If Shepard used warp, Luke could probably just redirect it back at Shepard. This would be really bad for Shepard if this were to happen. Stasis will be a bigger threat since there isn't much Luke can do about it. But, this also makes Luke impervious to damage unless Shepard has the Basiton specialization. I'm assuming Shepard doesn't have it. ? Luke could probably use the force to keep him from being pulled into singularity. ? See, biotics are without a doubt more destructive then the lightside. ? But can the lightside counter and/or avoid them? ? Yes.

Overall the force will give Luke an incredibly effective defense against Shepard all around. ? He'll be able to quickly move in with force speed and with 1-2 hits with a lightsaber break through Shepard's shields and kill him.
