The same Word of God tuned down the feats quite a bit, stating Vader was pretty much halfassing the fight because he didn't really want to hurt Luke. I mean, Vader barely even touched the Force on the 2nd Death Star. No Telekinetically throwing stuff all over the place like ESB, or Force Chokes, or, well, anything. Vader left most of his tools unused.

How is Luke weaker than any Jedi Council member when he defeated Darth Vader and even in ESB made Vader work for it.
I was looking for a kind of swordfighting that was reminiscent of what was in the movies that we'd already done, but a more energised version of it, because we've actually never seen real Jedis at work, we'd only seen - you know - old men and crippled, half-droid, half men and young boys that had learned form these people. So, to see a Jedi fighting in the prime of the Jedi, I wanted it to be a much more energetic and faster version of what we've been doing.
Lucas also stated PT Era to be Te Golden Age of Jedi in terms of dueling skills.

Yeah, none should do that. But in that case, Filoni only confirms Lucas' way of thinking about that.
So yes, canon Luke would be defeated by Kenobi without too much effort.
EU Luke is a diffetent story though.

Well the PT was the golden age of swordfighting, but aside from that I don't recall Lucas ever saying or agreeing with what Fiolli said
Lucas said ROTJ Luke was only half trained and not equipped to take on Vader. Filoni took it a step further saying any Council Member would take Rotj Luke.
Don't forget Filoni was Lucas's protoge, so 9 times out of 10 what he says will be in line with how Lucas feels.

Dave Filoni is not word of god, and nothing he says is remotely Canon.
LOL
He's a high ranking story teller in both the Old and New Canon.

He isn't even part of the Story Group. What he says can only be relevant to his own works.
You're right. He's not ON the story group. The story group actually ASKS him when it comes to the Force and Force powers. Because he learned it all directly from Lucas. He literally spent years and years with him.
That's just fact. You guys need to stop crying about it.
Oh and may I remind you all Lucas was the first to say that ROTJ Luke was only Half Trained and NOT a match for ROTJ Vader.
