Sidious DS Nexus

I remember reading somewhere that Sidious himself is a nexus of Dark Side energy, is there a quote substantiating that?

Eager to meet his captor, Luke learned that the dark side nexus he had sensed was none other than the cloned reincarnation of Emperor Palpatine himself.
—The New Essential Chronology

The key to Luke's turning is the moment when he and Leia realize the Emperor is no longer defined by his physical form, but has become a chaotic nexus of dark energies that swell and burst open the fabric of space, tearing apart everything in the vicinity, human and machine.
—Dark Empire Endnotes

Yeah, and Vader feels amplified by his presence, or something.

Revan's presence was also a nexus.

Really? I knew non-Force users could feel the Force faintly around him but I didn't know he was a nexus.

A lot of powerful Force users are nexi. Sidious is just more potent than most.

After Luke arrived on Byss, it was also stated that the energy of the Dark Side 'intensified' as he began approaching Palpatine:

Proof the above statement was in reference to Palpatine:

And as we know, Byss itself is already one of the most powerful Dark Side nexus-points in the universe:

So it can be argued that Palpatine himself represented a greater Dark Side nexus/focal point than the entire planet. smile

Sidious, Valkorion, Revan, Exar Kun and Darth Plagueis are all stated to be, can't remember who else.

And the entire planet in DE is more intense than Sidious as RotJ, who was already a galaxy-wide dark side beacon and nexus:
http://static1.comicvine.com/upload...de+devotees.png

And even as of RotS Sidious is affecting the Jedi's ability to call on the Force on a galactic scale. Note how this is attributed to his personal power, and not the ritual he had concocted with Plagueis years yearlier:

For a decade, there was no physical signs of the remaining Dark Lord, but evidence of his power began to appear.

The Jedi ability to use the Force inexplicably began to diminish.
–Databank (old): The Jedi Order


So this might give you an idea how powerful DE Sidious is before he entered the clone body. It was even stated he could tear apart the very fabric of reality simply by existing:

The key to Luke's turning is the moment when he and Leia realize the Emperor is no longer defined by his physical form, but has become a chaotic nexus of dark energies that swell and burst open the fabric of space, tearing apart everything in the vicinity, human and machine.
–Dark Empire endnotes


And he became even more powerful after he yransferred himself to his clone:

Luke knew that without clones to inhabit, Palpatine's spirit would be consigned forever to the void. But Palpatine was able to transfer himself at the last moment. Within a new clone body, the Emperor was more powerful than ever.
–Handbook 3: Dark Empire


And even more powerful in DE II:
[URL]http://static1.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11128/111282615/5283422-sidous+is+more+powerful+than+ever.png[/I]

All incarnations of Darth Sidious are some of the most powerful nexi the mythos has ever known, and I hope this pits into perspective just how powerful he truly is.

Vader as well. What are the quotes for Valkorion and Plagueis?

I would also assume Luke Skywalker would have been one most likely.

Just because you are a living dark side nexus that doesn't make you a god. It just means you are so evil and selfish that your own soul is perverted(lost forever in the embrace of darkness)

When Veitch says Palpatine's so powerful in Dark Empire, he means that he is so 'destructive' and morally twisted.

If a nexus is just a strong saturation of the Force any Jedi or Sith could qualify tbh.

TPM Anakin was a nexus as well.

A retarded vergence, nonetheless. However, given how Windu said it. That may mean there is more than just one (living) vergence.
