C’baoth used Luuke Skywalker as a pawn to fight the real Luke, either killing the latter or making him succumb to the dark side. Luuke has no thoughts or will of his own and simply follows the direction of Joruus C’baoth, using offensive lightsaber strikes and Force abilities that he learned from his creator (and possibly strengthened through telepathy).
