@void_reborn:
If you're going off the sequels there's still no feats that canon Luke has in that era that suggest he is at his strongest.
True, but I personally see no reason to think that Luke didn't improve from that point onward. He continued his training, and even attempted to recreate the Jedi Order. By the time Kylo defects, decades have passed since ROTJ. If he's realized even half of his potential, he's on par with Sidious himself.
Yes, Luke was holding back against Vader as he was trying to bring his father back to the light just as Vader hoped to seduce his son to the darkness. But at the end of their duel, Luke gave in to his inner darkness for a moment to strike aggressively against the Sith Lord. Vader, at this point, would still be conflicted and his main intention is not to strike Luke down. Him holding back would also be a result of Palpatine ordering so as to attempt to make Luke his dark side apprentice.
I agree with this, however I was referring to the part of the duel in between Luke initially being enraged and when Luke became very enraged -- after Luke kicks Vader, and snaps out of it.
