Leia, 20 years AFTER DE, is a very vulnerable Jedi Knight with a very limited knowledge of the force. Considering accessing the force happens through training and experience, how much could she have POSSIBLY helped? I know we abhor common sense in favor of facts, but this is pretty common sensy here.
"Common sense," as you define it, flies out the window when one remembers that Palpatine beat Luke's ass like an African drum like, what? Two hours prior to their second duel aboard the Eclipse?
Leia possesses a Skywalker-class attunement to the Force, just as powerful as Luke's connection according to Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor and demonstrates prodigious use of battle meditation during Dark Empire.
But I wasn't certain she used battle meditation during the duel with Palpatine, specifically.

i really dont know. i dont read comic books. 😮

Unless I am forgetting something, has she ever displayed the ability to access and channel that attunement though? Anakin Skywalker's attunement didn't give him the ability to completely access the force. That comes with training. The battle meditation thing from DE, i'm out on though. Does it say, in that portion of the comic that she uses BM?
Is it one of those things that is assumed from a picture (like the desintigrating of metal "feat" someone used to claim about sidious (i don't remember who really,maybe Blax)), and then the picture of the "feat" was posted, and it could be interpreted as any number of things?
It needs dialogue, or be very obvious before it could be said it really helped Luke.

Yup. hopefully someone can post the pic of the fight, and we can decide.
That is kinda the point?

Nope. Didn't you see the line "I already am"?

Yeah, they are generally considered very good. They usually needed to be outnumbered 2-1 to lose to other forces. Luke was described as a maelstrom of the Force. His blade appeared to be 20 moving at once.

Lumiya's appearances that I know about are all after NJO and all not-very-impressive.
She fought Luke eariler as well. She was using her lightwhip.

I forgot about DE Sidious, mostly because it is eclipsed in my mind by the Caedus plotline. You're still going to have to explain how it translates into a surefire victory against Bane.
Sidious is the most powerful Darksider ever. Luke defeated him.

And yes. Yes I have. It is not usually a good policy to attack people based on their knowledge of EU instead of their interpretation of it. Please try not to be a jerk in the future.
It wasn't all that pointed of an attack, so chill out man. We're all friends here, sorta 🍺
Well, of course lightsaber fights are unpredicable, but I assume this is not your argument, because it has more holes than a danish dam made of swiss cheese. Explain exactly why Luke lost, then won.

By the same ability, he lost. Not a solid feat.

If you can't understand that two beings at a certain high level can't have two fights with two different endings, without having different levels of ability for the two fights, you are beyond help.
Why do they play a best of seven series in the NBA? The same team always wins four in a row, right?
