So if ESB Luke is the strongest Jedi Vader has faced up to that point...
Does that mean ESB Luke pretty much owns everyone he has fought? From Dooku to Galen Marek?

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
In the RotJ novel, Vader's point of view has him legitimately being defeated by (humiliatingly so) Luke. A big example in the growing gap between original material that's highest canon, and newer material that's lower. Kinda messed up.

I lol'd. It's only favoring evidence that in turn supports your cause since you have already drawn the conclusion. But really, I was just being facetious.
