Seeing as we haven't seen much of Luke since ROTJ in canon, and he probably hasn't practiced with a Lightsaber, how likely is it that he pulled a Darth Bane and became weak and a shadow of himself? If that's the case then don't you see certain similarities between him and Vader in ANH? Do you think he'll end up fighting Kylo Ren?

Not really. By ANH Vader was far more skilled than he had been in the Prequels. No silly spinning or twirling around, just good solid swordsmanship.
Why do you assume Luke hasn't practised? Lightsabre skills would be incredibly useful in the ongoing war with the Empire and he would have had plenty of practise against Imperial forces. Plus, you know, practising with a lightsabre helps strengthen one's ability to use the Force in any case. Same as how some people today still train with swords and other ancient weapons because its a great way to improve discipline, concentration and such, even if they'll never actually use them in battle.
Yes I do expect Luke to fight whatshisface.

Well unless you're totally ignorant about the fact that there are going to be several novels out tying the events of RotJ all way up to The Force Awakens then yes, the most powerful person in the entire SW mythos(barring the ones) will be downgraded.
I don't think he'll be weaker than his RotJ self, but he'll almost certainly be weaker than he was at that point in the EU. The movies will never be able to showcase the force on the scale that the books do, for better or worse.

Why would he be weaker...isn't part of the new movie, Luke having gone into solitude because he was becoming too powerful or some such?...I don't see why Luke would become weaker.
~20 years after RotJ, Luke was doing goofy shit like making planet turn invisible and deflecting AT-AT fire. I highly doubt that we'll see the force be used on that scale.

Yeah...I don't know what that has to do with my question though. Who says we have to see him doing those things you mentioned, to say that he's grown powerful?

It's related to your question because your question is erroneous. "who says Luke has to be as strong in the movies as he was in the EU?" Uh, nobody?

It's too late for apologies. We draw pistols at noon.
