Lightsabers: Ulic was an equall of Kun, Luke with virtually minimal training was fighting evenly with a guy who was better than the likes of Ahsoka, Galen Marek/Starkiller in his prime, and a master of all 7 lightsaber forms. Ulic can give him a fight but Luke is a much more instinctive duelist and his feat of beating Vader is something Ulic couldn't hope to achieve at his best
Force: No idea
All out: Ulic was much more a duelist than an offensive force user, so it probably ends in an excellent fight that favors Luke in my opinion
Absolutely not. Every one of those arguments can be made in equal capacity for Luke. Luke actually has the stronger case since he actually refuses to press his advantages and go on the attack even when he has Vader on the back foot. And we know he set out to redeem Vader, not kill him, which is supported by numerous sourcebooks. If anything, he held back at least as much as Vader (supposedly) did.
Also, Vader was willing to kill Luke, as the RotJ novel states and as has been shown on the forums time and time again.

Things can be shown a ton of times when they're older than everyone who posts them. Of course then we'd have to factor in maybe Vader's character concept has changed in the last 30+ years.
At best you can argue that Vader was hindered, but as I said, that same argument can be made just as easily for Luke. It's not a valid way of discrediting the reinforced fact that Luke rivaled Vader in their showdown aboard the Death Star II.
Sources from the later half of those last 30 years depict Luke matching Vader as a swordsman on the account of sheer lightsaber prowess, and that hasn't changed, so there's little point trying to dodge it.

Luke matched Vader's physical might, which is greater than that of Ulic's.Not particularly convinced that Ulic's more powerful, either.
I'm talking about stamina and strngth, something Ulic was a match for Kun in, before Ulic gained immense power in the following years. These guys were essentially the same type of Jedi before Ulic turned and vastly outgrew his Jedi incarnation.
Ulic floored Cay and Tott with a Force wave and floored Nomi with lightning, as well as tanked Basilisk war droid weaponry without even straining. All before he gained immense power.
