DE Luke I would think. He should be logically more powerful than Vader at this point and if we compare AT-AT feats, Luke's is superior:

He also shields himself from its turbolasers with ease whereas Vader gets blown up:

Though granted Vader was pre-ESB/ROTJ.
Vader likely remains in possession of superior knowledge and experience, but seeing as his offensive abilities are largely limited to TK, I don't see it giving him much of an edge.

It's guns were crippled (he redirected a shot into it's head in the prievous panel) but I don't see how that would make it easier to fell, aside from the fact it couldn't shoot him.
^ It certainly doesn't trump what Vader did, but given Luke's battle with Vader in ROTJ, then give him feats like the above a few years on, I'm pretty sure he could take an all out Vader at this point.
He didn't crush its head, he pulled the whole thing to the ground causing it to be destroyed.
Difference being Luke dispatched an AT-AT with ease, whereas Vader was unable to destroy it before it fired on him, firepower he was unable to defend against.
No double standards here. My point is that Luke can dispatch AT-ATs with speed and ease, Vader in a time-pressured situation (being imminent turbolaser fire) did not, ergo he cannot.
The fact he can't shield himself against AT-AT fire full stop is a separate point, but proves the same thing. DE Luke > Vader.
Difference is though Luke wasn't trying to crush it as it began shooting at him.
Luke deflected the Fire Power back at it's source First and Then finished it off with a Force attack. I'd say that's the easier and more efficient way of defeating an AT-AT tbh.
DP already addressed the first part of the this. The second point is just idiotic given Vader has tanked much worse with no ill effects in the slightest. It's plain stupid to using this feat to argue DE Luke being greater than Vader.
1. He didn't crush it, he pulled it down, neutralising its guns wouldn't have made it any more vulnerable 2. Vader had ample time to down it as Luke did before it started shooting, which would have killed Leia, Han etc. and prevented it from firing at all.What projectiles has Vader tanked that surpass a AT-AT barrage?
DE Luke and Darth Vader are on the same level in regards to TK for all intents and purposes. For specific force skills like force shields tanking a turbo laser is greater than anything I know of Vader doing.
