A conflicted Vader it seems. But even still all his other showings thus far in Canon haven't been really great aside from like a couple of instances. The current SW comic series from what I've read, Luke doubts his abilities in being a Jedi and all sorts of other nonsense. Which I don't really get, he blew up the Death Star, he should be walking tall with confidence.

And regarding Vader, Luke was hindered too. Not to mention the Vader in ROTJ is likely better than the one who beat and is holistically superior to Ahoska in rebels.

Yeah but that's all we have for Luke up to Rotj. As far as combat goes against Force Users.
How was Luke hindered? I mean yeah he didn't want to kill him, but how does that say anything? Likely better, how so? Proof?

There's also Vader stating in a vision that he became more powerful with every step he took away from Kenobi(this is after killing him).
The quote about him being in his prime per rebels is talking about Vader's hatred and given the context of the quote mentions this only changes when Luke redeems him, this would apply to vader with the exception of when Luke is exploiting his conflict to make him good.

So then, why don't we take what happened regarding the version of Luke in this thread rather than the pre-prime version of him?Not wanting to fight Vader would hinder him I'd imagine.
Well, given that Ben Kenobi deepened his connection to the force and improved as a swordsman despite rotting in exile. I'd imagine Vader, who was active in shutting down the rebellion would be capable of growing.

Because there's nothing really for Rotj Luke as far as what he has done, anything else is speculation . But you're really gonna go with a Luke fighting a hindered Vader over Ashoka who was fighting a Vader that was wanting her dead?
Ok I guess. I'd probably agree if they had more to show near the timeframe.
I recall that when he discovers Luke, not after he dies.

Like I said, both were hindered. I can reasonably argue that Luke=Vader, I can't argue the same for Ahsoka.It would make it more solid, but based on relevant evidence, the argument for Luke stalemating Vader is more solid than the argument he can't.
True, but I like I said, prime is not referring to Vader's combative power.
So you're saying if both weren't hindered than they'd still be on even footing? Because they fought on even footing while hindered? That seems like shaky logic but ok. Though I wouldn't really say Luke was hindered as bad if you wanna go with that.
Didn't you use to say and everyone else, that Vader's prime was Rebels? I miss something?
