Shhhh, just let it out, mate. All your trauma and angst built up from years of being forced to take it on the chin on these boards. It must have been hard for you.

No it really doesn't. Lucas makes it painfully clear that Sidious' lightning is far and away faster and more powerful than Dooku's. You even see Yoda raise his right hand in an attempt to block it but he gets overwhelmed. Yoda underestimated Sidious and got blitzed. It's that simple.
Originally posted by Lord StarkIt being faster and more powerful than Dooku's doesn't take away from slowly raising his hands and attacking Yoda which takes over two seconds. Yes, Yoda was too slow to react. It happens, but when his guard is raised and he's in the fight he blocks the fl with his own force powers. Yoda underestimating and being caught off guard highlights his ineptitude. This doesn't make Palpatine look great. Equals in terms of the force whereas Snoke has no equal.

Luke's best feat from TLJ is the illusions. He has other feats in-canon, though, which we can then scale to him(like shaking a Star Destroyer in a fit of rage).
Not sure that’s applicable to his much older self, he could have degraded especially since he cut himself off from the force and then got it back.
Honestly I really don’t mind if Luke’s speciality is astral projection over say Lightsaber combat. Some things can’t be solved by waving a laser sword around (as Luke himself points out).
His Lightsaber combat probably peaked much earlier on, and then as he got older and more pacifist he developed his force powers in different areas.

Well Luke did confirm he Prequels were the Jedi at the height of their powers🙂
at the height of their power. singular. meaning their political power id always taken that to mean because aside from Yoda and mace we see Jedi drop left right and centre to separatist/clones/sith forces throughout the PT easily enough indicating that most were at best competent with the Force
