There’s a statement saying Luke was “too powerful” for Sheev in their second duel.

Well, the reason I make the thread is that this appears to be peak Luke. For a few reasons:

1. He experienced a kind of ego/pseudo death on the Monolith, where his Force essence and physical body (including his mind) was broken down to constituent parts and then reassembled. He and Leia said this changed them forever.

2. The Force nexus on the Monolith was so powerful it was casually healing massively traumatic and sometimes mortal physical wounds, even Han Solo was laughing off stuff that should have killed him. In the process it fully healed Luke including the essence-wound Abeloth gave him.

3. He and Leia appeared "more powerful than ever' after this.

So he should be more powerful and connected to the Force than ever here.

The amp was noted as rudimentary while the force harmony, which is the relevant part when it comes to Leia’s interference, happened afterwards. As for the quote, I don’t see the context you’ve mentioned but I might be wrong. For reference, here it is:



As for Luke’s victory, I attribute it more to his insane power growth during the events of DE itself. In fact we know we know from Corran (in i, jedi) that Luke’s power redoubled after his experiences with the Emperor.
