I believe it was similar than Anakin vs Dooku decades earlier. Dooku though that first put a good show and then let Anakin defeat him. Then when Palpatine becomes Emperor Dooku is given a high post in regime. So Vader fought that Luke would use the Dark Side to defeat him. and become the new apprentice. but that's just my belief.
why do u hate america? if it were not for us u guys would be lost. i mean we invented the tv, we invented the internet, cars and we even went to the planet moon. we won all the wars and we always help the little countries who cant fight and we give food to poor people.
I dont think that Dooku was going easy on Anakin. I suspect that Sidious instructed him to have Grievous kidnap Palpatine, but keep him alive at all costs. Then Sidious (as Palpatine) double crossed Dooku and ordered Anakin to kill him (after all, Dooku was getting older and weaker).I think Vader was going easy on Luke at Cloud City, because he wanted to reveal the truth, and turn Luke so they could overthrow Sidious together. At Endor, Vader knew that Sidious intended to replace him with Luke (having seen this situation before with Dooku), and thus would have been fighting for his survival.
I believe it would have to be Luke, Mace Windu, Palpatine, Yoda, then Anakin. Luke had a natural affinity for lightsaber dueling and is said to be the greatest of all time. Windu was called the most dangerous jedi of his time, inventing form 7(VaaPaad?), Palpatine was defeated by Windu only to be saved by Anakin. Yoda was better than Anakin( he felt Obi-Wan could challenge Anakin but not Palpatine). Anakin may have been able to challenge Yoda in time but not after the defeat at Mustafar.
Wasn't Yoda reguarded as the most powerful Jedi of the Old Republic but Mace Windu the most dangerous?

He defeated the Reborn Emperor in a lightsaber duel. Something Yoda failed to do with the prior incarnation of Palpatine. Surely that makes him better than Yoda?
yoda lost that duel because of a predetermined course of history by the force thats all.
But isn't the question who was the best duelist? Mace dominated saber battles( even defeating Palpatine). Yoda was a great saber technician but was known best for his powerful force abilities.
