NJO Luke has been repeatedly blown out of proportion. Sure he slashes up a bunch of Yuuzhan Vong, but he does not have the lightsaber competition of old, so I am not one that can say he's all that great. His powers are grossly exaggerated.
I'm looking at Exar taking out Luke and Ulic taking out Yoda. Though laying a hit on Yoda's acrobatic ass doesn't seem easy.

Erm...
He slashes up a bunch of Yuuzhan Vong with his lightsaber. It's him vs serveral thousand warriors trained with melee weapons. He survived 3 duels with Vader (one before ESB, one in ESB, one in ROTJ). He had 30 years training with that weapon including non-force users (headhunters, soldiers, the YV), Jedi (practice fights in the Academy), Dark Jedi (Desann and friends) and Sith (Sidious and Vader). And since he was "in combat" for nearly 30 years I actualy give him more experience with that weapon than any other person running around in the SW universe.
You shouldn't forget that he received training from Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin (force spirits) at least and had a nice pre-KotoR time Holocron to learn stuff from.
I just did write some "essay" about Yoda and lightsaber fights in the "Yoda(at his peak) vs. Revan" topic. To mention the most important points again:
- Yoda is very hard (if not nearly impossible) to hit (size; fastness)...he demonstrated that 3 Jedi Masters (Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin and Depa Billaba) weren't able to hit him attacking him at once
- Yoda has 850 years experience with a lightsaber and with force powers
- he uses an absolute agressive style and that combined with his ability to simply avoid lightsaber hits pushes opponents into defence. People with offensive styles would have problems with that (even more problems than Dooku and Sidious already had).
According to this points I have to say that Luke and Yoda will defeat their opponents. At least I think that Yoda might take Ulic faster than Luke can take Exar so you end up with Yoda and Luke vs Exar totaly overpowering him.
