Exposing Sheevism
Contrary to popular belief, I once held an iron grip of PT superiority over the SWTOR forums. Indeed, one might say that I was one of the cult's most zealous champions. Over the years, my opinion of him dwindled. This is not based in some bias against him, but rather a stop gap measure against his most ardent followers. Without further ado, I give you the great unravelling of Sheevism:
Of all the greatest lies perpetuated and maintained regarding the Emperor, one of the worst is that he's self-sustaining and continues to grow of his own potential. In fact, the opposite is quite true:
The Jedi Temple was built on the foundations of a Sith shrine of serious Sith corruption. In fact, it was so strong that Sidious himself intends to derive the final secrets of dark side power from it:
James Luceno further confirms the power of this site:
This is not something new to Canon, it's been in Legends for years:
Not only is it clear that Sidious had the Sith shrine blinding the Jedi Order as opposed to what the Sheevites have proposed in lesser sources. But with the Jedi Temple being such a powerful nexus of dark side energy, Darth Sidious would have a permanent external source of power from which to amplify himself during his battles with Master Windu and Master Yoda. Not to mention other feats he accomplished on the Imperial Center.
This is only the beginning, read on.
Some time prior to the events of Return of the Jedi, the Emperor goes about transforming Byss into one massive energy source from which to draw his power:
Even Sheev Palpatine himself admits that he uses them as an energy source to fuel him:
Do take note of the fact that the aforementioned sources make clear that this is not just applicable to Sheev on Byss, but wherever he goes. Which leads us to the most important source yet:
The Emperor, even prior to Return of the Jedi, was drawing upon this massive source of dark side power on a constant basis. Therefore Sheev was utilising an amp whilst accomplishing his feats.
This is the secret truth that has evaded the forum for so long, Sheev like the founder of the Rule of Two was a nexus junkie.

Oh I think not, I already know exactly what kind of counter-argument you will all try and spin but these sources are explicit in their nature. Take the L like you did in the Ragnos thread.

Kun needed Lukes 20 something students to revive himself.
Ragnos needed the energies of entire DS nexuses to revive him, the Scepter holding so much DS energies it can spare enough to turn dozens of non force sensitives into Jedi Knight level Dark Jedi, capable of fighting Several of Lukes students.

I'm not apart of any brigade but I've never seen the Sheevists drawing from dual canon to attempt to lowball another like you just did. They generally don't do it to wank either since Legends feats/scaling are better then canon anyways.
