The whole, "Everything from the EU is acceptable," is something I've only seen accepted on forum communities, tbh. Continuity is there to keep stories together. These stories may not be "valid" but they're still in a continuous string of events.
We can't go and say now that this is a thing for EU/Legends only Palpatine went it isn't. Though granted it would be for any Canon/Legends composite. Certainly it has no bearing on Plagueis as far as he exists in the EU.

Right, but then it was evidently revised to retreat its EU content within the contexts of Canon, i.e. as exaggerated and unverified myths. On top of that new Canon material has evidently been added, like Moraband, and this concept that was created by Luceno for Tarkin (some concepts that straight up override the EU, like Palpatine taking on Maul well after killing Plagueis). When we consider on top of that that there is only one continuity moving forward its obvious what perspective its coming from.
TOR on the other hand had already been published, and its already been made clear that it exists within its own universe, separate from Canon.

"When the Sith built their shrine on Coruscant, they did so over a powerful light side vergence. This decision was made in an attempt to corrupt the vergence and use its power to fuel dark ties. Their plan worked to a point, and by the time the Jedi took Coruscant and pulled the shrine down, the vergence had become corrupted with dark side energies. The Jedi were well aware of the dark side corruption of the vergence, but believed they could reverse the process and return the vergence to the light side. Thus, they built their new temple atop the foundations of the old Sith shrine. Unfortunately, the Jedi were wrong on this account. Even as they built the temple, a small portion of lingering Sith corruption infused its foundations. The hint of dark side influence may have been enough to cloud the judgement of the Jedi, leaving them vulnerable to the manipulations of Darth Sidious."
Got anything more definitive?

An unusually passive-aggressive non-sequitur from you, Dmb. Are you peacocking or simply menstruating? excellent
