Every source I have seen on it says that Luke, Leia(well, just some say Anakin) took down Sidious by Luke drawing on this force potential and adding it to what he had and knew, similar to what Kun did with Kyp.

So you're saying he used their potential to beat Sidious?
Well if duels were decided by potential then Anakin (Skywalker) would not only have both his arms, but he would have probably become emperor, and possibly the most powerful Sith Lord ever. But the fact remains that his potential didn't help him at all, so I don't see how the potential of Anakin Solo and Leia could help Luke.
Please think a little more next time(sorry that sounds so rude). They added his potential to his, but it was still all his knowledge and training and stuff. Basically Luke's power was tripled by the added potential.

I know that. Does disarming Sidious make DE Luke more powerful than Sidious ? He's a better lightsaber duellist but he's clearly not able to handle Sidious force powers at that point. And he's not able to handle Kun's force powers one year later.
I personally think that NJO Luke might be able to take Kun on his own (although I'm not sure). Throwing Windu in will result in Kun getting defeated...

Considering they were facing off that viciously, with Sidious declaring he was fighting with the dark Side...and disarm? He'd sliced Sidious's hand off and cornered him.
Why is it so hard to get that Luke could take Kun? What has Kun done in Luke's league? Luke immobilized thousands of Dark Jedi at one point-the Shadow Academy fighters, along with Nightsisters long enough to go to deal with their leaders, does what he does with no enhancements-unlike Kun- moves black holes, star destroyers....moves much, MUCH faster than the eye can see...
And unable to handle Kun's force powers a year later? YOu mean 'Trying not to hurt Kyp Durron who, with Kun, uses a technique Luke'd never seen....and totally fails in purpose and ultimate execution."
You tell me to put a little more thought into my post and then completely ignore your own advice. Power is power. Potential is potential. Having more potential doesn't give you more power; it gives you the means to become more powerful, but not the power itself.
If he had taken on Leia’s "power" (I don't see how this is possible, nor do I think it would have made much difference) then yeah I could see his own power rising slightly. But he can’t become more powerful simply by taking on her potential. You have to remember that potential doesn't equal power, so their potential couldn't have feasibly made him stronger.
