In the beginning of Return of the Jedi Yoda confirms that Luke's training under him is done and that he has the necessarely knowledge to become a Jedi if he defeats Vader. Now many members have rejected the idea that this would put him on equal footing with Anakin Skywalker or Ahsoka Tano in terms of training and knowledge mainly because his training under Yoda only lasted for a short amount of time compared to that of the above mentioned characters.
This can be explained through several reasons, first there is the fact that Yoda, being the former Grandmaster of the Jedi Order and having 900 years of experience, is just a better and more knowledgeable teacher then Obi-Wan or Anakin (who's knowledge mainly comes from Obi-Wan). This would automatically enable Luke to grow faster then Anakin or Ahsoka.
Second, Luke started to train at a later age and while many would say that this is a disadvantage, it can actually explain his fast learning curve. It's a general known fact that the older you get, the more your body develops and allows you to study a bigger amount of knowledge which would translate to the idea that Luke would generally learn faster then a younger student (even a young Anakin Skywalker).
As a third reason we can look at how learning curves in general aren't necessarely equal amongst different student, e.g. student A may have a lineair learning curve while student B could have an exponential one thus while student A would be better in the beginning of his career, student B could eventually surpass later on. And when we actually take a look at Luke's ability to learn by the time of RotJ we see how he's for example employing form V by just fighting an opponent who utilises this fighting technique, it becomes evidently clear that Luke's ability to learn may well be surpassing Anakin's.
NOTE: While someone's ability to learn is connected to his/her connection to the Force, which Anakin probably surpasses Luke in, it's certainly the only factor which would decides the knowledge someone can gather.
As last there is an quote from in the Legends novel New Jedi Order: Vector Prime where Jacen Solo and Luke Skywalker are talking about which option is best, learning in group or having only one master guide you through your training. Jacen believes that while he grew powerful under the study at the academy he could've been much more poweful if he had been studying one-on-one with Yoda and describes this as a pivotal reason in Luke's Jedi career. Add to this that Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka started fighting in The Clone Wars shortly after becoming a Jedi Knight or Padawan thus limiting their time of actively seeking out Jedi knowledge.
As a conclusion there are several reasons Luke's Jedi training while shorter could be considered as containing an equal amount of knowledge (since he became a Jedi either way you put it), from having a better teacher and having a greater learning ability to getting the more favorable way of teaching and transition of knowledge, all these point towards Luke.
So what do you guys think of this.
