So, I was just skipping around, but it appears in the audio-drama that Palpatine does to Luke similar to what the Jedi Council did to Revan.

I think he basically mind-wiped Luke, pushed his former memories deep into his mind, and then telepathically made him into his servant.

Sound: Luke's lightsaber activates.

LUKE: (hate-filled voice) Yes, my master.

EMPEROR: Bring your sister over to the Dark Side. You have the power.

LEIA: (waving her lightsaber in defense) I don't know what he's done to you, Luke, but this time we're REALLY leaving.

LUKE: Leia, put the lightsaber away. I don't want to hurt you.

LEIA: The last thing I'D do is hurt you, Luke. What's happened to you is NOT final!

EMPEROR: (laughs) He cannot hear you, child! To him, you are a ghost! A faint memory of a former life!!

LEIA: Luke.....listen!! (shuts off lightsaber) Luke.....? (near crying) Oh, what have you DONE? What's behind his vacant stare??

EMPEROR: Why, nothing, my child. NOTHING.

Sound: We now hear from Luke's POV. The dialogue is all but buried under the whispers of the Dark Side, now deafening and overlapping.

WHISPERS: (the voice of the Emperor) Nothing....you are nothing......

LUKE: (echoing whisper) Where am I?

WHISPERS: Alone.

LUKE: (echoing whisper) No.....help me......

WHISPERS: There is no one. There is only the Dark Side.

LUKE: I...am....a Jedi.....(moans in pain)

WHISPERS: You are NOT a Jedi. You are nothing. You have no name.

LUKE: My name......is......Skywalker......(cries out in near- silent agony)

WHISPERS: You.....have......NO.....name!!!

LUKE: I.......

WHISPERS: Accept the Dark Side. You have no name.

LUKE: (losing to despair) I.....have.....no.....name.......

WHISPERS: You serve the Dark Side.

LUKE: I sss.....

WHISPERS: Listen to the voices.

LUKE: The voices......

WHISPERS: .....of the Dark Side.

LUKE: (dark voice again) Yes.

WHISPERS: The one law is fear. The one fear is power. The one power is hate.

LUKE: Hate......

LEIA: (echoing, as if from a far distance) Luke......

WHISPERS: Hate....

LEIA: (using the Force to "amplify" her voice) Luke.....clear your mind.......

LUKE: Leia.....?

WHISPERS: The one law is fear.....the one fear is power.....the one---

LEIA: Luke, I'm your sister. I NEED you.

LUKE: My sister......

WHISPERS: You are alone.

LEIA: Luke, listen to my voice. My child....will be a very great Jedi. Because YOU will train him. You will train ALL my children in the ways of the Force.

Sound: The whispers seem to be losing power....

WHISPERS: Do not listen!!

LUKE: Leia.....the Force......I am not alone!!! I AM NEVER ALONE!!!!!

Sound: The whispers suddenly STOP.

EMPEROR: (shocked) NO!! This can't be!! NO ONE returns from the Dark Side!! You're mine....

The comic's vague about Skywalker's status as a dark side Force-user.

This audio-drama clarifies he's been enslaved by Palpatine's will and power.

People have already brought this up, lol. That said, this reminds me that I need to add some feats to my DE thread. Palpatine amped Sedriss to DE Luke+ tier, and giving the amp sent a shockwave through the galaxy that Luke felt planets away.

He did? I don't recall Sedriss doing anything near Luke's level.

Well, there could be context to a quote that I'll check at some point, but Azronger gave me a quote saying that in a direct contest, Sedriss could've prevailed over Luke.

Please do update that. thumb up

This is also arguably the best telepathy feat in Legends.
