My thoughts: I doubt the intent was that Luke disarmed Palpatine principally because of Leia's aid, but Veitch has also noted that the idea of Palpatine being the supreme OG wasn't established until the prequel trilogy - meaning Palpatine's high-level mastery of everything wasn't being considered. However, it's now hard to reconcile Luke's victory given his poor performances in everything until the end of New Jedi Order, even if we assume Palpatine's lightsaber skills dwindled. Overall, I'm willing to overemphasize Leia's suspect influence to make more sense of the fight and assume Palpatine wins in a good fight otherwise.

How the fudge could Leia influence Luke's lightsabre skills?
You just cannot accept that Palpatine is not that much of a lightsabrer, are you?

He meant in the context of DE, which what you're talking about. You realize this, yes? Nadd's not the brightest light bulb in box, but he's far from hard to understand.
Light side battle meditation is not Dark Side Battle Meditation(Palpatine's or evil Shan's in KotOR, etc)

Fine, Leia Force amped him. But that's all. Luke beat Palpatine in lightsabre combat fair and square because Palpatine just sucks with one. End of Story.
