Dooku vs Luke Skywalker

This is Luke as of ROTJ.

Sabers Only.

Battle takes place in palpatines Throne room on the 2nd Death Star.

The Count.

So wait? Is ROTJ Luke ROTJ Vader level? Or substantially beneath that at Dooku's acolytes level (ie. Ventress)?

Luke says in the Courtship of Princess Leia that if Vader was serious he would have gotten one-shotted pretty much. In dueling I would say Luke is on par with Vader's skills but Dooku can overpower him in the Force.

All out level?

This is sabers only and I say Dooku wins, barring him taunting Luke into a rage.

Under no circumstance will Dooku lose this battle. Luke is utterly unprepared to face a Makashi specialist at this point imo.

Too Early. Luke needs more years on him.

Ventress is more than comparable to Vader and Dooku, though, because she is on Maul/Kenobi's level.

Dooku

Dooku, unless he faces a rage induced Luke in which Luke can come on top.

Dooku wins, Luke can't take him on just yet in sabers, or Dooku could just fry him.

Doesn't Vader in the RotJ novel, a higher canon, kind of contradict Luke here?

Even featwise this sounds like bullshit barring narrative evidence suggesting Sidious further amped his lightning once Vader picked his ass up

As I observed in my previous thread asking about the script/novel narrative on the torture of Luke, his semi decent tutaminis, and how much power he and Vader were hit with?

That narrative evidence is lacking to my current knowledge.

Well said.
