How? Luke is canonically in his prime as of NJO:
This is Luke Skywalker at the height of his powers.
-Jedi Academy Training Manual
Meaning he's superior to his amped DE self who was overpowering DE Palpatine in the Force and defeated the latter in 32 seconds in a lightsaber duel (DE audio drama).
Luke is not losing to Yoda a single round.

'His' being the important part, in his victory he was empowered by external powers that were not his own.
Leia's elemantary BM amp was hardly a factor, lol. As mentioned in the comic, Leia was unlocking Luke's potential. That's his own power he's using to defeat Palpatine.

Elementary*
Leia and fetal Anakin's full meditative power allowed Luke to unlock his full potential, which is FOTJ+ given we have no idea how powerful Luke was before he died and if he ever achieved said potential.
You just defeated your own argument, Amped DE Luke was unleashing FOTJ Luke+ tier powers in their fight. FOTJ Luke >>> NJO Luke for the record.
Luke's untapped power, in conjunction with Leia's and Anakin's power still.
Luke's potential being untapped doesn't rule our Leia and Anakin too pooling their power - the two aren't mutually exclusive - especially given the description of Force Harmony. Furthermore, Luke beat Sidious in a duel, not in a Force contest.

Leia performed BM by accident. It was hardly her full meditative power, lmao. And Anakin only stepped in to cut Palpatine off the Force; he wasn't involved in the BM amp.

I didn't defeat anything, since the amount of potential that was unlocked isn't even close to his maximum. You pulled that out of your ass. The comic even says Luke's potential was being unlocked even more after he had defeated Palpatine, so how could it be his full potential if more was being unlocked afterwards?
The obvious conclusion is that Luke's full potential wasn't unlocked when he defeated Palpatine, and is supported by the JA training manual stating Luke is even more powerful now.

Only Leia's.

Anakin didn't pool his power and Leia's accidental, elementary Battle Meditation wouldn't logically help much.
And I already posted a quote proving Luke was overpowering Palpatine in a Force battle.
