I don't know what you're even trying to say here. Nobody here is suggesting that Luke > the ones. This caveat does not refute Luke's being the most powerful "mortal" Force user in galactic history. That is a statement well supported by both his feats and his accolades.
You see where this is heading?
Don't worry, your logic isn't very difficult to follow; it's just very difficult to actually agree with, since your above reply literally had absolutely nothing to do with the point being addressed.
Luke Skywalker could be the most powerful Jedi to have ever existed throughout galactic history but a hype more ambitious then this one is subject to scrutiny.
Yes, he's the most powerful Jedi to have ever existed, and he is also more powerful than Palpatine, and by extension every sith to have ever existed throughout galactic history.
Yes, it is possible to establish superiority of a character over another but this is possible on the basis of multiple forms of evidence.
Yes, and? You try to make rhetorically pleasing statements that tell us nothing and refute nothing I've pointed out.
This is an interesting take on this matter, I admit. However, you are sticking to older sources for information. Latest developments and revisions leave the possibility of your assertion being challenged.
"leave the possibility for your assertion being challenged" is a very weak attempt at a rebuttal. With the evidence we have at hand, Luke is the most powerful "conventional" Force user of all time.
For Yoda:Yoda was a legendary Jedi Master and stronger than most in his connection with the Force. Small in size but wise and powerful, he trained Jedi for over 800 years, playing integral roles in the Clone Wars, the instruction of Luke Skywalker, and unlocking the path to immortality.

Yes, he doesn't have the same potential as Anakin, and he is not as powerful in actualized potential as Sidious or Luke. This is nothing new.
The "one of" point leaves room for flexibility in ranking of Anakin Skywalker on holistic level. He might rank # 1 but he may also rank # 10.
"may" is a very weak rebuttal to the overwhelming preponderance of evidence. Anakin at FP is far more powerful than Yoda or Sidious, who are the most powerful Jedi and sith up to their times. That there may have been some random Force user yet unmentioned in canon marks the epitome of straw grasping.
