I don't understand why that's relevant even if it was true. Unless Vader is significantly more powerful than Luke, he's getting ragdolled. Notwithstanding that Lucas basically said Sidious could have dealt with both easily, and that's the intent you get from watching the movie and just common sense.

No, he said he could deal with Luke easily, "then Vader would be in trouble". He also says that neither could beat Sidious, which is a given. He says nothing about him being able to ragdoll him. 

Again, this version of Sheev has about 30 years of growth on his TPM self. Stuff he can do (such as ragdolling Luke) doesn't necessarily mean that his younger iteration could repeat.

He can surely tank his lightning but combined with Palpatine's exceptional skill and speed, he cannot keep up with all of these and the limitations of his suit doesn't make it any easier for him.
I agree that he dominates, but people mix up dominating (which is solidly beating someone) and ragdolling (which is flicking someone around wirh little effort), and it gives the completely wrong impression. Vader is pretty substantially outside of TPM Sheev's ragdoll range, and can give him a challenge. He does, however, get dominated and slaughtered in sabers.

@BreakofDawn

Again, Sheev's growth in power is irrelevant because he wasn't drawing beyond his body to ragdoll Luke. He did it effortlessly. Vader is his equal in the Force. Show me the evidence that's wrong.

I've given an overview of the Vader vs ROTJ Luke discussion in my respect thread, and I'm going in-depth in my upcoming "battle misconceptions" blog. 

Please show me a source saying Sheev reached his maximum ability to harness his power by TPM, because ROTS was clearly doing everything he could against Yoda and he had over 10 years of growth on this Sidious.

By the way Vader isn't getting a Maul treatment from Sheev, even though he loses badly. Sheev would show way more effort than he did against Maul.

There are no misconceptions. I had a look at your blog. It's not a good idea to take much stock in Luke's opinion. He's got extremely limited training, and he thought Ben was this ultra powerful being (despite being considerably more powerful than Ben as of ROTJ). His conception of power levels is wonky as hell. Lucas liking the book doesn't lend any authority to a power level position from the bias of an IU character with kriff all training. What's more, we can't be entirely sure whether Luke is thinking specifically about ROTJ. Not sure what Mark Hamil's comments have to do with anything, he only says Luke is an equal swordsman to Vader - not mutually exclusive with him also being equally proficient in the Force. What we do have is a number of OOU and IU sources stating Luke = Vader, it's one of the most mentioned power level comparisons in Legends. So what you're really saying is that we should dismiss all of these sources because Luke thought Vader was more powerful than him, the guy who throughout the many years after ROTJ has shown consistently to have wrong points of view about power levels (because he had barely any training or experience).

You've read my SS posts, that's my evidence.

@BreakofDawn If Sidious can simply wave his hand and Luke dies (source: George Lucas), that implies an extremely casual exertion, nowhere near enough to indicate he would be drawing beyond his biological potential and damage himself. It's safe to say TPM Sidious could do the same.

lucas also said that ben is stronger than darth Vader by a full 50%. that makes ben stronger than sheev who is only 20% or so stronger. lucas is not reliable when talking about discrepancies in power lol
