What do you make of Luke's feat against Palpatine?
In the Dark Empire audio drama, when Luke is dueling Sidious, Leia notes the following:
"The Force so strong... They're both moving so fast I can hardly see them... I-I feel waves of power... the dark side and the light... But... I feel... the light is winning!"
Was Luke overpowering Sidious in the Force? It couldn't have been in reference to lightsaber combat because Leia specifically noted she can't see them move, and the clashing of lightsabers doesn't produce ripples in the Force.
It's an audio drama, you can only get so much information out of it/they only have so much time to talk. The fact is that you can sense people winning and losing fights through the Force. This isn't anything new.
Based on what? Leia's BM was capable of hurting even Palpatine. And it appears that BM transcends nexuses in the SW mythos - Satele's BM took precedence over Yavin IV's nexus, Worror's BM took precedence over the nexus of Belia Darzu's fortress, Bastila Shan's BM took precedence over the Star Forge's nexus, etc.
I've yet to see an instance of the reverse or equalization.

Well, based on the information we have, Luke and Sidious were radiating Force energy, not emotions. And they had plenty of time to put another line in there, so that's not a valid excuse. If they wanted Leia to sense their emotions, they would've put it in. Based on her noting their strength in the Force, I think it's referring to power. I'm going with what is in the audio drama, not what isn't there.
The examples you listed - is it actually specifically noted they took precedence over the nexi? If not, then we've no reason to assume they did. If yes, then it's simply because they were more potent than the specific nexus in question. Something I doubt Leia's accidental and elementary BM was compared to the greatest nexus she had ever felt (note: she has been on Byss, which is more potent than Sidious himself as of RotJ).
Palpatine takes pity on Luke and goes easy as always. He's a nice man old Sheev
