Why are people making these threads before we actually can gauge Luke/Snoke's abilities? Like come on.
Anyway, I'm fairly certain Luke would have surpassed ROTJ canon Sidious ... though he doesn't come close to either his own EU Incarnation or DE Sidious.

Luke's illusion projection feat was next-level stuff. Granted, it was on a powerful nexus, Luke was in deep meditation, and it may have killed him, but I was really impressed by that.
He also had other cool stuff like casually blowing up the hut and toying with Kylo in sabers.
This is pure speculation though and obviously not really something that can be taken to a debate. Luke's powers are shrouded in mystery and will probably forever be left open-to-debate.

Is this denial or buyers regret after spending 20 bucks on the worst Star Wars movie in history?
Luke did literally nothing. Some shitty Force illusion is not on Sidious' level. If he could actually do something to Kylo from that distance it would have been impressive, but he's there to stall Kylo. Meanwhile, Rey gets a better TK feat than anything Luke ever got.
Luke exploding the stone hut casually and toying with Rey in that stick fight were impressive ish but that whole Force projection thing was too hokey and out of the parameters of what the Force does; im not saying dont go into new territory with Force abilities (which they did in TFA) im saying dont make the abilities so far out there with no tether to whats come before... having said that the couple of moves Luke had in his "duel" with Kylo pissed me off because I wanted to see so much more of that from him!!
