Capable of being but not yet in existence; latent: a potential problem.
Having possibility, capability, or power.
So, just because Leia was untrained, and Anakin was a fetus doesn't mean their potentials are not great. Because, as posted, potential is what they can become, or rather, the power they are capable of emerging into in the future.

Except for the fact that you can google it and find many many sources of the force storm being used prior to Palpatine, and it being derived from the ancient sith is a fact... Look it up before typing, thanks.

Apparently you still havent grasped the concept of potential. The fact that Leia was untrained and Anakin was still a fetus is irrelevent. It was their *potential*...everything that they were capable of becoming. Do you need to look up 'potential' in a dictionary?

Yes I know what potential is, thanks for the lesson. Yet you still haven't been able to quantify how great the potential of Leia and Anakin are, and this doesn't speak volumes for Sidious either.

Gee, their grandfather is only the force itself and baby Anakin was described as practically a luminous being, purely of the force and a great jedi already

Except baby Anakin was a fetus at the time of the fight. Except with their "force potential", they were able to stop Palpatine and his force storm, make him lose control for it, etc.. This puts Palpatine on a higher pedestal, or even in the same league as DN Luke, how?

You're welcome for the lesson. That'll be 25 USD please.
Who in the goddamn world said I was arguing it? I was only saying that just because Anakin was a fetus, and Leia was untrained doesn't mean that their potentials are necessarily weak.

LOL! That's some infallible logic IKC, except for the fact that this isn't DE Luke, it's DN Luke. Palpatine has no chance against DN Luke, but thanks for your opinion.. That's as ridiculous as me saying Freedon Nadd could take Exar Kun at the height of his power(which I have said)..
THanks for the source Sama..
Luke takes this after some time.

It's defined as a force storm lightsnake. Now perhaps Palpatine's version was a lot more powerful but the fact remains that it was derived from the ancient sith, and knowing the ancient sith, theirs was more powerful.
