We know virtually nothing about the depths of canon Luke's abilities right now. He had acquired an IMMENSE wealth of knowledge from which to build his power around, though -- and I'm not just talking about his time with Yoda.
In theory, he would've had knowledge on... Just about everything there is to know about the force in canon.

^ Really? Because remember those Holy Jedi texts bores him “page turners they were not hmm”
Now of course Rey will read those books start to finish, and learn every secret. Watch this space for the true legacy of the Jedi to be left in Reys hands.
One of the best traits Luke had in the OT is that he's not an effing tryhard, he tries to enjoy life, have fun and is not a zealot of the Force. Rey is a lot more rigid than Luke (Finn is the more loose character in this trilogy)
And before her death, Jocasta had recorded ALL of her knowledge(pertaining to the Jedi/Sith, and Force in general) onto these Holocrons in hopes of restarting the Jedi Order from scratch: https://i.imgur.com/NQOMOYy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ucgXQeG.jpg
And in the same arc, Palpatine himself confirmed the ridiculous extent of Jocasta's knowledge: https://i.imgur.com/Tfwy2Ug.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S5cV8FD.jpg "Jocasta Nu knows everything [...] Not just secrets of the light side of the Force. The dark side as well. Secrets that were not theirs to keep. Secrets even of the ancient Sith. Jocasta knows them all."
...And this is aside from Luke scouring the galaxy(post-RotJ) for any and all ancient Force-related relics/texts he could get his hands on, in search of finding the origin of the Jedi/Force.
So yeah, theoretically his knowledge of the Force should have been absolutely immense. /shrug

Figured it was worth mentioning that two separate novels have now mentioned Luke pulling Star Destroyers out of the sky during the Battle of Jakku...
Granted, these are just the recollections/stories of a few random characters in the SW galaxy, but it's interesting that two different canon sources have mentioned this feat.
Yes it would have. Even if it was just a random comment like the ones galan posted. SOMETHING that actually built Luke's character [and power] a bit would have been nice to get in the movies.
You must have REALLY hated Legends Luke then.

I mean pulling SDs out of the sky would be a bit much, but I would have liked to see a Luke who was, you know, powerful. At least on par with the greatest of the CW Jedi like Anakin or Yoda.
Disney ruined Luke Skywalker in canon unfortunately. Luke could be an intimidating presence and warrior but he just disappeared because of failing Kylo Ren? What is this? It is like as if they had no story to tell about Luke.

Almost like it had already been told over 30 years ago.

Yeah, I don’t like the Yuzhang Vong but rather than this copy-paste of the original trilogy, they should brought them in the movie. Rather than have the Empire again as the villain, they should have had New republic + Imperial remnants vs Yuzhang Vong. Finn could have been of the imperial stormtroopers who momentarily are allied with the republic, Luke should have been the Grand Master of the small order who is still re-building itself after the purge, Kylo Ren could have still been the nephew who fell to the dark side and is now helping the Vong. Rey shoudn’t exist, or rather have her be one of Luke’s Jedi students, but no bullshit about her having potential or learning stuff in a few weeks. No Leia flying, no Death Star no.3, no useless Snoke (replaced by the Vong Leader) etc etc
An Heir to the Empire type story except with obviously an older Leia, Luke, Han could have worked...
Or what would have been ideal is a Harry Potter style Jedi Academy focusing on younger students, and Luke and Leia would be the headmasters, Jedi Council.
But oh no we dont want to focus on young kids because of Phantom Menace.. Stay Away Stay Away.
But pretty much anything would have been better than remaking the OT and calling it the ST. While butchering OG characters in the process.
And of course a cohesive story that was planned from the beginning would have helped too.

Man, if you are paid 4 millions to make a movie you should at least read a few comics on the era you going to set it into. Otherwise I could do it myself for only 1 million because I’m humble
