Seeing as how Vader in canon was described as being more powerful than Maul/Dooku, was described as being in his prime by Filoni, and how his mastery of the force transcends Anakin. I'm not seeing how Anakin is far above him at all in anything.

Well logically speaking Luke just got to Knight level by ROTJ whereas Anakin was there since before TCW Movie.
Given that Anakin had the greatest potential of all the Skywalkers, not really sure how logically ROTJ Luke would be > TCW Movie Anakin. Let alone ROTS Anakin or Prime Vader.
In terms of his Feat in defeating Vader, well 1) That was in a rage enhanced fit and 2) That was a Saber only battle. Wasn't exactly in Vader's interest to Tk ragdoll Luke given he was encouraging Luke to clash blades with him, and to lash out with his anger.
Of course Luke still did Incredibly well beating Vader, but that doesn't make him his equal (or superior) based on the context.
I'm more of the opinion Luke won because Vader wasn't just fighting Luke. He was fighting Anakin Skywalker too...and eventually lost that battle. Anakin simply did not want to kill his son, and so Vader ended up seriously halfassing the 2nd death star battle.
Which part you referring to exactly? The part where Luke thinks he could kill Vader if he wanted? Or the part where Vader thinks Luke has a shot at defeating him?
Post the extract please.
I know we've been through this once before, but which part is it you don't agree with again? ROTJ Luke being Knight level? Or TCW Movie Anakin also being Knight level?

That makes sense, but I think people would point to the various sources that state they were equally matched to counter it, rather than his rage feat. And there are plenty of sources that state Luke was his father's equal.
