And NJO Luke is canonically stronger than his amped DE counterpart, yeah.
Quote for Palpatine being weakened significantly? Hope you're not referring to Leia's elementary Battle Meditation.

Not really? lmao. DE Luke wasn't just using his power, but he was using the combined energies of his sister and Anakin's, too - if you're referring to that FH bit.

Yeah, pretty sure "elementary battle meditation" wouldn't be capable of, per yourself, unlocking Luke's potential, yet have no effect on Palpatine whatsoever - that's shit logic that even you wouldn't adhere to.
To be fair, I'm honestly not sure if Force Harmony or BM was used to defeat Sidious durng the duel, but we know for certain he didin't do it alone, as sources have pointed out:
Luke Skywalker had embraced the power of the dark side in an effort to conquer Palpatine. Fortunately, Luke eventually realized that he could not defeat Palpatine alone.

No, I am referring to his unlocked potential, which is entirely Luke's own reserves of power. NJO Luke > Potential unlocked DE Luke > DE Luke

Indeed, so logic dictates the BM didn't unlock anything in Luke, yet it was something else. Which is further supported by the comic itself, when Leia continued to unlock Luke's potential even more even though she wasn't even focusing on him, after he had already beaten Palpatine.

BM was, but that was irrelevant.

Thanks for the quote. But obviously he couldn't defeat Palpatine by himself - that much was made clear from the comic itself. He needed Leia there to unlock his potential so that he could match the Emperor head-on, but the power he wielded was entirely his own (besides a negligible BM amp).
