Is that why it’s been officially said that Luke “surpassed” Vader and Vader pressed his attack but Luke held back? The RotJ comic called the fight the “battle of EQUALS” and Mark Hamil even said Luke was Vader’s equal. If Vader was holding back then I ask you why did he throw a blade of superheated plasma at him or drawl said blade on him? He went for at least two kill blows during that fight and if Luke wasn’t fast enough to dodge them then he would have died. I find it funny that you were the one who tried to argue that Vader wasn’t holding back but right when I change my mind, you also change yours?

Once more, it seems you got myself and Lorezno confused. I was the one arguing that Vader wasn't holding back. Lorenzo is solidly of the opinion that Vader was severely hindered during that battle.

That said, I'm glad to see you've come around.

I’m just speaking what I’ve seen.

Well he's equal to Vader (who's probably with TPM Maul) as of ROTJ and grows immensely. I'd say at Dooku level by TT.
