It was FPJ who said even Ezra > Luke, not Filoni. And that was S1 Ezra Lol.
FPJ's opinion of Luke is just despicable.
Filoni as of TCW (Pre-Disney buy out) said he thinks any Council Member could take out Luke in a Lightsaber fight. But that was just his opinion.
And to be fair to Filoni, it was Lucas who started all this Padawan Luke stuff off, by claiming Luke was only Half Trained by ROTJ, and not fully equipped yet to take on Vader:
"In coming back to see Yoda we have to figure out Luke's training and the fact that he never finished his training and obviously now he's got a big question he wants answered. There is a point where the hero has to be left on his own 2 feet without anyone there to help him. And you can sort of have him be in a different place for something, but at some point you have to say now all the props have been taken away and he has to face the evil monster alone. In this case the scene established that the evil monster is actually his Father, and he's going to have to do it on his own, and that he's not really equipped to do it. He was too impatient, he didn't finish his studies, and now he's going to be HALF Trained to face a difficult physical and emotional challenge.

But then even a Half trained Skywalker should still be a threat IMO.
