This is a bit overkill. . .Yoda alone could take Luke.

Eh, Luke would put up some resistance only for cinematic purposes. I think the fight would look like ESB Luke versus vader. Luke puts up some resistance, but you know he's goin down.

however, my opinion stands. except maybe now Luke parries Mace's first swing. as he probably wont even see the blur we know to be Yoda.
i honestly dislike the whole NJO luke thing...and don't get me started on it. perhaps he has some skill...but what's considered mastery in Jedi ways for the OT/NJO...is like...simple training in PT in my opinion.

alright, so i take back what i said about not posting anymore. :P
consider this...
NJO Luke...he's only been training from like...16 was it? maybe older when he first touched a lightsaber?
by that time Mace and Yoda would both have been not only Padawans, but possibly Knights, and both able fighters.
Yoda has 800 years experience beyond that.
Mace has created and mastered Vaapad, and is a Jedi Master on the Council.
yah, Luke may be the new Master of the NJO...but that's because he just came up and was the only Jedi around, he knows more than others. he's a Master by new standards, and the need for one.
for the sake of making an objective view i'll say this..
NJO luke could probably fight it out with these two. tough for him, very tough. but Yoda and Mace will both be aggressive. Mace with Vaapad is going to take luke, and yoda being so quick and jumpy, will keep luke busy. luke wont have the chance to go on the offensive really. he'll just be keeping himself alive as long as he can in my opinion.
i don't know luke's style either, i'll say that. so perhaps if someone knows they could post that here. but mace/yoda's style will keep luke real busy.

Let me give you some of Luke's achievments and we will see who is better.
Defeated Vader
Defeated Sidious
Defeated Joruus(A clone of a very powerful Jedi Master)
Defeated Luuke(His own clone)
Defeated Shimrra(Yuuzhan Vong Overlord)
Defeated Many Nightsisters(They as a group could overpower Jedi Masters. They are pretty powerful.)
Defeated Jensaarai(a force-group that is pretty powerful.)
Defeated Lord Nyax
Got many of the teachings from the Chu'unthor.
Got teaching from some secret Jedi Library.
Studied for a while from Bass's Holocron.
Killed several THOUSAND Yuuzhan Vong in one fight.
That isn't even all of it. I have thought about this more, and I think it could go either way. Luke has a fair chance though.

No, I hate NJO for being ridiculously overpowered as he is. However, I do give him his props. To be fair, a lot of his accomplishments are only put in perspective because he's one of the few good force users of his time.
Kyp Durron, Kyle Katarn, Jacen Solo, Corran Horn, Ganner Rhysode could stand beside many of the Masters from the OT. Kyp is probably better than half the Council members in the PT. Your underestimating the NJO.

He conquered the Empire (in battle) - and helped put peace between them. Though it was the entire Jedi Order, Luke, Leia, Han, and some powerful Jedi Master with the last name of Brand to put an end to DE Sidious.
Um...well, both times - Luke was one of the reasons Sidious was defeated. So yeah, I guess that counts.
Look. Sidious is my favorite character, but his ability to chuck people from one planet to the next and consume fleets of ships with his own Force powers is RIDICULOUSLY overpowered.
Sidious and Yoda -- even though I hate Sidious's style in ROTS -- just seems right for the amount of believable. If you watch these guys, you know that they're both the daddy's (lol) of either side of the Force.
They seemed to express the proper amount of power for paragons of either side of the Force.
List of Ridiculously Overpowered Characters (in no order)
------------------------------------------------------------------
- NJO Luke
- Darth Revan
- Exar Kun
- Marka Ragnos
- DE Sidious
- Ulic
- Darth Nihlius
These SIX are some off the top of my head that are WAY too powerful. Anyone who can chuck a DAMN star at their opponent, zap 'em across time and space, or destroy a damn planet is WAY too overpowered.
I fail to see how you can include the Ancient Sith, like Ragnos or even Kun, as being "ridiculously overpowered." These characters were DESIGNED to be barons of the dark side: they were supposed to be figures of titanic strength, the pinnacle of evil and power. They are the epitome of Evil strength of immense proportion.
NJO Luke just has this "unifying" force, they chuck out years of SW history for the sake of having a foe that's "not part of the force," and where Luke can do things no one else has even bothered to attempt, it really does become ridiculous in that sense.
