Not exactly. We've seen Luke stand firm against the combined kilik colony, then get beat down by Lumiya. Being able to perform an impressive feat doesn't indicate it will happen under every circumstance. So claiming that he can do it under [b]any circumstances because he's shown to do it isn't very intelligent. [/B]
Lumiya didn't 'beat him down.' She took full advantage of Luke's reticence to catch civilians in crossfire, yes.
This is Plagueis's ultimate art. His magnum Opus. You might as well argue Bane can't focus to use force lightning at points.
I used to struggle with Luke's radically inconsistent powers, until I realized that we're not actually scripting the duel or observing through the lens of a sci-fi-/action novel wherein drama must be wrought and maintained.
If this were a book, Luke would struggle with half the dark siders mentioned. But it's not, so we're free from what may be considered PIS.
