I don't know much about how the movies are supposed to portray the characters skill in regards to Cannon but id imagine there were many jedi before the Pretrilogy and 4-6, like in the age of the Revan, etc that were much more powerful.

I agree with this except that Anakin is above Obi Wan. Obi should be 3 and Anakin 4

Except for the fact that he treated Anakin like crap and helped turn him ax crazy.
This is so far from being a correct statement that I don't even know where to begin. I'll assume you prefer to be babied and hate tough mentors. You must be a millennial.

Of course Palpatine threw the fight. I thought that was pretty obvious.

I have a feeling by the time the credits roll on episode VIII, Luke will jump to #1.

Eh, Lucas says in the commentary for ROTS that WIndu wins.
Not only that, if it's plausible that Palpatine threw the fight, it's just as plausible that he entered into the fight in the first place knowing he would lose, and that he just had to hold off Windu for enough time for Anakin to return. But in either case banking on Anakin to return, and for that to progress exactly like it did, is both a bad plan and bad writing.
Killing Windu would have blown up his entire plan. And if you goad Windu into a fight that you may have to kill him in would be a huge mistake. At the same time, entering into a fight that you can't win if Anakin doesn't show up, is equally as bad.

There should be an asterisk next to Luke's name. He obviously lost a step when he got older. Everyone knows he started juicing with anabolic midichlorians that he got from A Rod's guy.

Bingo. If you bring the Extended stuff into this, it gets even murkier with Windu's whole fighting style and all that.
It's almost an unanswerable debate given the bad writing.

Try Yoda vs. Vader. I think there were message boards created for that very purpose

At least we can all agree that Luke is underwhelming...at this point in time.

I'm just saying that the lightsaber duels were way over-the-top and clearly were shot by someone who doesn't understand how action actually works
That's irrelevant to my point.
It isn't hard to believe though that after thousands of years of perfecting lightsaber combat styles, Jedi couldn't be taught how to fight that way.
The only ridiculously over the top duel was Obiwan vs Anakin at the end of Episode III.

I'm by no means an expert but if we are only including cannon I think it makes sense that Luke would be somewhat underwhelming. How old is he at the end of ROTJ? Like 28 at the oldest? It makes sense that he would grow immensely as a Jedi in the coming years especially given his late start
