Because a Jedi's enhancement doesn't really stop things like knives, swords, and bullets? They suffer from that "Wonder Woman" effect where they're very good at stopping blunt stuff via enhancement, but not really much else. And Luke at this point doesn't know Tutamenis.
This comes from a Dark Horse Legends comic. Not canon.


Luke wins
Uh, no? It comes from the canon Obi-Wan and Anakin Marvel comic. Issue #5 specifically.
 
Has Luke shown the bolded? The big elephant is the room is the fact that his Luke has very little showings. Hell, this key hasn't even trained with Yoda yet.
These are relatively simple Force powers to perform (as the justification states) as long as the Force is channeled correctly. At this point in the story, Luke is more accustomed to the Force and other Force powers (instinctive reaction, telepathy, precognition, and has learned some telekinesis on his own) and is already very superhuman, so I don't see why he couldn't do this.

There is no Tutaminis in Canon. It's just Force Barrier/deflect

It states: "those who are strong in the Force and learn to control it", Luke isn't given proper training on the Force enough to lift a simple ship even with his training with Yoda. Although I'll conceded that Luke can probably inhibit pain a decent bit, given his whole situation on Hoth, but I don't think he'll be walking off gunshots.

Yoda's whole "absorbing lightning" thing is Tutaminis. It's also what Vader does in Cloud City and how the Father's able to grab lightsabers. All of which are canon showings.

Luke already controls the Force, he learned this in episode 4 and only improved later on.

Dude, as incredible as it may seem, telekinesis is considered an advanced study within Force Powers, and even considered difficult to master.

So, using and mastering telekinesis is much more difficult than Force Amp and other Force Powers.
"Obi-Wan had never addressed telekinesis with me. It was likely that I wasn't strong enough to begin training in such an advanced field of study. That didn't mean I shouldn't try."
-Heir to Jedi
TELEKINESIS Those adept at using the Force are able to access its energies tomanipulate objects using nothing but their minds. It may seemeffortless, but it's not an easy skill to master, requiring a great dealof focus and willpower.

And yet Luke managed to teach himself this force power (although he didn't master it)

It's not.

In the Star Wars book, it's said that what Yoda did is a rare force power (compared to Bond and psychometry), meaning that basically only a few unique people can do it.

And what Vader did was the Force Barrier. Father is a god of the Force, nothing he does can be taken into consideration for other users of the force

Tutaminis does not exist in canon, you won't even see any mention of it in canon.

A few unique people. Like, oh I don't know, the Chosen One?

Was it said in the novelization that it was the Force Barrier or something?

Just because it's not directly name-dropped doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Tutaminis is just the absorption and redirection of harmful energies. I.e., what all of my examples show.

Luke BARELY used the Force in Episode 4. He used it to help guide his aim and for minor precognition.

I'm not saying that Luke can't do impressive stuff with the Force at this stage, I'm saying that it's a far-cry from being able to null pain entirely or out-right block bullets. There's a reason, in canon and Legends, that slugthrowers are seen as effective weapons against UNTRAINED Jedi.

Dude, I said that when he learned to flow the Force through his body, he evolves later. Just look at his own profile (and that of other Jedi) that the basis for them to be superhuman is the Force Amp, and the Force Amp includes that.

You speak as if the bullet passes through the lightsaber and hits the wielder with maximum force/power, when it doesn't.

First, when the bullets touch the lightsaber, they stop, collide (note the profile of the saber, which appears solid despite being made of plasma energy), and then lose speed.

Obiwan himself was slightly injured, and it didn't really affect him; he still behaved normally.

like a projectile from a slugthrower. Like someone whipped a rock real fast. If we could get some opposing force on it, should drain down the velocity pretty quick. If, uh, it doesn’t break apart. But that’s where you guys come in.”
