Assuming that they get full rest after each fight...
1. Easily
2. Easily
3. With some difficulty
4. With extreme difficulty
5. With difficulty
6. Get mega pwned
They obviously die horribly at 6, but I think they definitely have a good shot at 5. By the end of NJO, Luke has already used telekinesis to flatten an AT-AT, rebuild and tear down a castle, and play tug-of-war with a black hole. It's difficult to compare him to his later incarnation, but I think he's beyond Caedus in power even by this point, although he'll still have one hell of a time in a duel.

I'm pretty sure hes talking about manipulating Dovin Basils. I figured you read the NJO.
Thats what i was talking about earlier. I don't know of any other instance with a black hole. Unless... Gideon, are you being facetious and calling him on the words "tug of war"? Cause that is actually pretty funny, and deserves many smilies.

Exact quote and cited source plz.
Dark Tide I: OnslaughtSadist.
The void that the vehicle's dovin basals created to intercept the missiles was a gravitic anomaly that had substance in the real world. Tiny threads of the Force leaked into it as insects and birds, bats and bugs were pulled into it. Luke used their vanishing life traces and the very currents in the air that the void created to define the void. He traced its edges, knew exactly where it was, and knew how powerful it was.He opened himself to the Force more fully than he had in years. He sought more power than he had when freeing his nephew. The Force flooded into him, at once molten-metal hot, yet as soothing as a cool rain. It swirled through him, filling every cell of his body, freeing him from fatigue, sharpening his mind.
Luke reached out with that power and latched onto the void that the Yuuzhan Vong vehicle had created. He pushed a bit, then tugged, in nanoseconds getting a feel for the power the dovin basals were able to exert to control the void. He almost smiled, since that amount of power was nothing compared to the Force, but he stopped himself short of pride in that fact.
"Artoo, juke the missiles."
R2-D2 keened sharply and fed the proton torpedoes a new set of data. The torpedoes twisted in flight and arced toward the sky, flying up and over the void. Then they turned again and fell toward the ground, aimed at the vehicle's spine.
Immediately the dovin basals started to shift the void to cover this new attack vector. Luke fed the Force into his hold on the void, thwarting them. Their pressure increased, and still Luke held it unmoving. The torpedoes got closer and closer. The dovin basals pulled harder, and when their effort reached a new peak, Luke let the void slip over toward intercepting the proton torpedoes.
The dovin basals devoted their efforts to sliding the void into place, which required both some lateral movement and shortening the arc over which the void would travel. As they brought it close to the vehicle, Luke pushed with the Force. Since the dovin basals were already tugging the void back toward the vehicle, they were not prepared to have the travel accelerated.
The void crashed into the vehicle, striking it in midspine. The long vehicle bent backward as both ends became sucked into the black hole. It flowed like thick liquid, all the sharp horns and bony plates becoming fluid as they curved up over the void's event horizon. In less than an eye blink the vehicle had been consumed by the void, leaving a huge gap in the Yuuzhan Vong formation.
Then the proton torpedoes detonated. One after another the four missiles slammed into the ground and exploded. Their blasts scattered Yuuzhan Vong warriors and lit the night. They gouged a huge canyon across the Yuuzhan Vong line of advance, and the shock waves were such that the ground rippled even into the refugee compound. Soldiers fell on both sides of the battlefield, and ramparts collapsed.
Good work, Faunus. Man, you're such a b1tch.

No, I was asking him to name the source and give the exact situation verbatim. That feat has been brought up since time immemorial with vague commentary that could have come from Wookieepedia. Hence why I asked to see it.

Absolutely.
But that's not necessarily indicative of quality material. I refer you to Dark Empire.
