Just so you don't miss it, there are four parts above to my response, with some other posters making posts in-between.
Part 1: Luke's duel with Sidious / Luke's potential
Part 2: Luke's duel with Sidious / Luke's potential
Part 3 (brief): How close the duel was and Byss as a nexus
Part 4 (somewhat brief): feats

Have briefly skimmed over the arguments.
Don't wanna interrupt but, DE Luke was having his potential (twice of ROTJ Sidious, so perhaps close to or greater than DE Sidious) unlocked. So in that specific instance he was aided by an external factor that unlocked force potential into actualised power. This is perhaps similar to how Mortis unlocked Anakin's true potential which allowed him to ragdoll the children simultaneously. So Luke's win is sort of irrelevant.

Comparable and the same are two different words.
Anakin is the chosen one. He was conceived by the force, and only he was destined to replace the father. Luke is comparable, but not the chosen one.

That's a straw man. We are talking about force potential, not actualised power.

You should deal in actual power. Vader's superior force power and dueling skills netted him an L to Kenobi. I don't care what you're capable of I care more about what you do in the heat of fair combat.
