"Energy surged through him. He felt as though a star had blazed to life in his chest. Driven by concern for his friends rather than himself, he embraced the Force completely, utterly, and was rewarded with strength that made his efforts with the dark side look like those of a child. His nerves were on fire. Streamers of light radiated from his skin. His bones glowed like radiant lava."
Yes, it's common knowledge that drawing on strong emotions ( "drive by concern for his friends" ) can help to empower you though it will not fill reserves of energy that had already been emptied. That sort of power was within Galen all along.
Your argument still falls on itself regarding this thread because Revan's, "force reserve exhaustion" on the Star Forge is literally orders of magnitude more severe than whatever Galen went through.

Oh? Do you have quotes detailing the exact distance between the point where Revan disembarked and when he reached Malak and the amount of enemies he had to fight through to get there? Regardless I assume you guys still believe Sidious is superior to a Star Forged amped Malak ( unless your wank has progressed farther then even I presumed was possible ) so it the end it doesn't really end up mattering does it?
Actually, there's a quote confirming the amount of enemies IIRC, kek. Point being, fighting, I think the quote stated it was hundreds of dark jedi, shock troopers, and jedi-massacring Star Forge droids, defeating Bastila being constantly and wholely replenished by the Star Forge 3 times over, going through a room in which the SF spawned infinite droids, then defeating the most powerful known Sith Lord in the Galaxy with his jedi juice boxes along with the nexus amp on the Star Forge, ALL while Revan had to fight through the entirety of this immense nexus, would be more tiring than Galen fighting through the Death Star, lmfao.

I'm seeing a lot of assertions and no evidence to support them, first off where is Marek stated to be exhausted? And why are you assuming being emotionally empowered wouldn't restore that strength? Let alone Oneness.
"Relying on luck wasn't going to get him any closer, either. The equatorial trench alone was over 500 kilometers long. He needed to find a map of some kind-or, failing that, a guide..."
He traverses through the trench freeing wookiees as he goes avoiding Imperials and fighting them off when he has to.
And then going on to fight Sidious? I'd question that tbh. I have no problem with Revan wank though so good on Revan for having such high force reserves just like Galen.
I didn't say he was exhausted ( now who's making assertions? ). I said some of his force reserves would have been drained from fighting through Imperial forces and Vader.
Because being emotionally empowered simply allows you to accomplish what you're truly capable of and doesn't serve as a mguffin that ignores your expenditure of energy beforehand? Since there's no evidence Galen was in a state of Oneness that's not really relevant.
"A single human intent on taking on the entire Death Star."
"The scrawny Wookiee indicated that they should go west, following a route parallel to the trench."
"After much gesticulation and howling, it was apparently agreed that they would need to cross the trench and continue their journey on the far side."
The forces he fights off seems to be multiple patrols of stormtroopers, 2 TIE patrols ( made up of 3 fighters each ) and 3 ATAT walkers. He fights multiple other forces like this before and after this point.
