Luke can't kill Talzin in under 30 seconds? How come? Palpatine made short work of her in the dueling department, and they were roughly even in the Force department.
Given that Luke is substantially more powerful than Palpatine, has OP hax to go along with his power advantage, is in another league entirely when it comes to swordsmanship, and is basically bloodlusted here, I seriously doubt Talzin is lasting over 30 seconds.
But I'd like to hear why you think otherwise.
In the next instant, Caedus found himself flying across the cabin toward his observation bubble. Luke had not gestured, had not flinched, had not even shifted his gaze; he had simply grabbed Caedus in the Force and hurled him five meters into his chair."Don't lie." Luke started across the cabin. "I'm getting tired of it."
Caedus sprang out of the chair... or attempted to. Instead, he found himself struggling against an invisible weight. He felt as if he were accelerating to lightspeed with a faulty inertial compensator.
"Luke, you've gone mad." Caedus reached for the controls on the arm of his chair and discovered he couldn't even do that much. "You can't do this. I know you're having trouble dealing with Mara's death, but..."
"This has nothing to do with Mara," Luke said. "And you're lucky it doesn't. If she were here-if she had known what you were using Ben for-there'd be pieces of you scattered along the entire length of the Hydian Way."
The irony of the statement was far from lost on Caedus, but he was too astonished-and too frightened-to take any pleasure in it. While it was true that Luke had taken him by surprise, it was equally true that he had done so with no visible effort-and that he was continuing to hold him with no apparent exertion.
Keenly aware that all that stood between him and a quick death was Luke Skywalker's much-strained sense of decency, Caedus let a little of his very real fear seep into the Force, just enough to seem properly alarmed.
[...]
"Then I'll take it for what it's worth," Luke said. Leaving Caedus Force-pinned in his chair, he started toward the door. "I'll show myself out."
mmm
Hard fight 👆

I doubt Luke is clearing. DE Sidious isn't going down in under 30 seconds, if at all. And he's got Sarasu Taalon to worry about as well.
Depends how much you view luke to have improved since DE (plus power boost from leia) but I never thought that boost from leia was that massively significant

Simply because I've never seen Luke show the ability to rip a Force User from an incoporeal form into a corporeal one. Without the need to protect Maul, Sidious had no chance of actually killing Talzin.
Whether you think her and amped Windu can survive is another matter, or if she waits for a stronger supporting champion, but he definitely won't be killing her in under thirty seconds.

Talzin isn't incorporeal here, so not sure why you're bringing that up. Besides, Dark Side Sourcebook notes that to kill a dark side spirit you just need lots of light side energy, which Luke - being the most powerful Force user and all that - has plenty:

And just because Sidious may not have succeeded in killing Talzin doesn't mean Luke won't be able to, as he is far more powerful than Sidious is.

Luke can deflect Talzin's lightning with his lightsaber and teleport around the battlefield. Talzin can't run away because of that and he can slaughter her anytime in CQC.
Not seeing how she has any chance.

Luke's definitely more powerful than Sidious in raw TK and stuff like that. But I honestly can't see a way for him to actually kill Sidious.
