Their situations were a bit different. Had Anakin stayed stuck on that planet would he have gone very far? And though he was "too old", he got his first training long before Luke, so at 22 he ought to be pretty powerful.

As for who is the strongest, I think it would be close to even as compared to other Jedi. Luke as his prime (post-RotJ) looks damn powerful, harnessing even questionable things like the Force crush, but with a better temperament than Anakin. If you had an Anakin who saved his mother and was recognized by the Council, then maybe he'd be stronger, as he wouldn't have his flaws. Hard to say.

True, Luke was incredibly old in comparison XD

Yeah, that Anakin guy is going places. We'll be watching his future with great interest.

How could they leave us hanging like that?
This is OUTRAGEOUS. It's UNFAIR

Anakin would not have been a particularly powerful jedi. The force was in complete imbalance, with the Jedi order finding every force sensitive it could to put them on the path of becoming a Jedi. When Anakin turned, there were only a handful of Sith left. So his ability to command the force was amplified by how much the force wanted to be balanced, thus creating vader.

As a Jedi, anakin was strong, and had great potential, but it couldn't be realized without the room the dark side offered.

I think if the Jedi weren’t allergic to emotion, they’d have been able to heal Anakin’s trauma (and maybe would have seen the wisdom in freeing his mother from slavery so he wouldn’t worry about her). And with that out of the way, Anakin could learn to let go of attachment.

But unfortunately for him, he had no chance at that.

Even then, the matter of balance diluted how much power any one Jedi could yield. The sheer amount of light side force users made it so that any of them had to pull from a pool of available power that hundreds were already pulling from. Meanwhile, there were like 3 total sith at the time.

The Republic and the Jedi Council don't exist in Luke's time. Luke is also the strongest Jedi, after Yoda dies. "Married" and "Future Father" are just lifestyle choices, one of which hadn't even happened yet.

Plus, Luke's getting sloppy makeouts with one of the leaders of the Rebellion, that has to count for something.
