Vader was holding back in ROTJ, his performance can't be used as a measure of Lukes abilities. Having said that, after Mando finale I think Luke takes this after a decent fight
Yeah, I’m still undecided on whether or not Luke is = ROTJ Vader. I know there’s that quote that says they are, but at the same time I know Vader was very conflicted during their fight.

But it certainly held back Luke. So I dont think Vader was conflicted during ROTJ is a good argument. Since both of them werent at their peaks/not going all out

I mean Luke literally said he wont fight vader and kept being defensive. And when he was going all out/using his rage him stomping vader easily. I dont think that is a good argument for vader being massively above Luke

I know. I just want to say that Vader was conflicted during ROTJ doesnt necessarily mean Luke's powers werent equal to Vader's.
I still tend to take the value of the quote saying Vader and Luke are equal in the force and skills
In Beware the Power of the Dark Side it was stated that Vader was tapping into his dark sided emotions(ie. hate, rage, fear) when Luke went beast mode, but it was still not enough to defend against him.
