This is evidenced when Sidious simply slaughtered 3 Jedi Masters with ease, because despite all their power, he was just better.
Vader was 80% of Sidious' power, and yet we know that if Sidious wanted, he could kill him with the flick of a wrist.
Skywalker has done far more impressive feats than the Sith Emperor, he could destroy the Entire Dark council with ease, because he's just that good.
Luke sustained and moved a Black hole, whilst at the same time moving massive beasts into them.
He rebuilt, and destroyed, a fortress on Coruscant using only his TK abilities.
He's used the force to teleport object.
He's used the force to create a perfect replica of a ship.
He's managed to overcome the Ysalmiri, who halt the ability to use the force in a radius around them, similar to Natheema.
He's walked on lava, became a force ghost, Luke made himself an immovable object so that not even the greatest Black Hole in the galaxy could move him. Was described as "A maelstrom of luminous Force energy, against which there was no shelter"
I shouldn't need to go on.
Don't ever lecture me about basic principles of how the Force works.
Force powers range in potency from hurting a single individual to devastating entire planets. You don't compare Force powers in conventional way.
Emperor isn't supposed to be superior to combined might of an entire Dark Council in strength factor, his ability to manipulate the Force in superior ways is going to be an advantage for him, his talents in short.
Analogy: If Darth Sidious unleashes Force Storm (Wormhole) power on the opponents, the numbers and strength of the opponents would become irrelevant. This power can destroy entire fleets and level whole cities, possibly worse. So it doesn't matters if 100 Luke(s) are caught in this power, they will perish.
I know what Luke Skywalker is capable of, he is among the most well-known characters of the mythos. However, he have limits and isn't infallible. He struggled against lone powerful opponents in various battles, in-fact, a powerful Dark Jedi utterly outgunned him in a battle.
Members of Dark Council are highly talented Sith Lords, they can perform impressive actions too. Two Dark Council members once fought each other inside a building, the battle resulted in destruction of this building. Greatest of the Dark Council members such as Darth Marr routed entire armies of the Republic in battlefield with his powers and combat prowess, his actions became stuff of legends.
Do not mistakenly assume that Dark Council is group of mooks and jokes. No one can handle an entire Dark Council in single combat with conventional methods.
