^ And Kirak appeared to have at least one Holocron as well(which Luke will presumably snag): https://ibb.co/sCzJ7xm
So yeah.
On another note, this would also be the perfect time to have Luke locate Jacasta Nu's library/cache. When he located it in the comics(which occurred at a yet unknown point in the timeline), he certainly appeared to be younger... So the age range could fit: https://ibb.co/XxXTL4B
Luke studying Yoda's holocron + a cache of that magnitude would explain his exponential growth by RotJ more than anything else really could at this point. /shrug

You don't nead that. You can just scale Prime Luke above Vader.
GM Luke>Vader>Anakin~Yoda.
In the last year Anakin got 3 or 4 quotes suggesting relativity or even superiority to Yoda.
No direct accolades explicitly stating such, no... Not yet, at least.
But logically speaking, if indeed Luke was equal to Vader as of RotJ(as canon has indicated on more than one occasion), it makes perfect sense for him to have surpassed Yoda at some point afterward, given the incessant relic/knowledge-hoarding he was doing in the decades between RotJ and the ST... But yeah, that's just personal conjecture at this point.
Honestly, I was very happy with how Luke got the holocron in this chapter. Reminded me a lot of what Yoda said in Rebels.
"How a Jedi chooses to win, the question is."
Luke fully acknowledged that he could storm the Imperial facility single-handed, cutting his way through any opposition by allowing the Force to flow through him. But that's not the Jedi way.
So he just walked up unarmed and asked for the most important artifact, with a subtle push of the Force. No need for bloodshed or to raise any alarms when he could easily avoid it.
Luke was well-aware of what he could do in that situation... But he immediately recognized what he should do. I think it goes back to Yoda's training in ESB: "A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense. Never for attack."
To date, Soule has done a fantastic job at fleshing-out Luke's gradual transition into a true Jedi Knight.

Luke having a vision of Elzar Mann from The High Republic. I've been enjoying the High Republic novels so far, especially The Fallen Star. Kinda curious where this comic issue is going to go, with Luke meeting Elzar.
Elzar is probably one of the most troubled Jedi in The High Republic. Romantic attachment, struggles with anger, repeated failures that have led to catastrophic events and losses of life. He's definitely going to have some lessons to impart on Luke.
