Here, Luke's speed will grant him a decisive advantage.
Seeing as how Vitiate has never demonstrated the combat reflexes of Luke, he will not be able to beat him to the draw. Rather, Luke can easily ragdoll Malgus, flinging his body at the Sith Emperor and using him as a distraction while he closes the distance. Malgus can get ragdolled by Revan, so I don't think he would be able to prevent Luke from using him as a battering ram. While Vitiate probably just blasts apart Malgus, Luke can rush him and engage him in melee, where novel Vitiate has demonstrated precisely zero ability to survive in. If he gets disarmed by a saber throw from Meetra, Vitiate isn't going to be able to handle Luke's lightsaber strikes. Even if he manages to get away, he isn't taking out Luke solo, seeing as how he's done absolutely nothing to suggest that he's remotely near him in any capacity.
As with many encounters, the one weakling doesn't really do much if the faster combatant can just blitz. See: Dooku vs. Anakin and Obi Wan.

This is utter nonsense.
