Syn what are your thoughts on Sheev getting a turn on from Marek's lighting, is his power nothing but a glorified sex toy?Spoiler:
Also what happened to your old account lol
According to Ant it was Sidious's Lightning only. I guess you could ask Luke his thoughts on the matter. 🙂

Galen is able to redirect Sidious's Lightning back at him and move against its stream. They're stuck in a force lock of Sidious channeling lightning to kill Galen and Galen channeling that lightning through his body and back into Sidious.The comic depicts it similarly to Yoda and Sidious's lock in RotS and the game has it being both of them firing a stream of lightning at each other that causes a large pool of energy to form between the two.
So yeah, it has nothing to do with Marek's Force power - and nor was Palpatine truly desperate anyway. He was enjoying it.
Actually I just read the passage again.
"Another staggering, painful step and the Emperor was within the apprentice's reach. With shaking fingers, he took the old man's bony shoulders in his hands and gripped them tight. The Sith lightning spread to engulf the two of them, fueled by both their desperations."
The lightning was a combined effort on the part of Sidious AND Galen as the lightning was being fueled by both their power.

The novel reads as following: With shaking fingers, he took the old man's bony shoulders in his hands and gripped them tight. The Sith lightning spread to engulf the two of them, fueled by both their desperations. The Emperor tipped back his head and howled in lascivious pain.So yeah, it has nothing to do with Marek's Force power - and nor was Palpatine truly desperate anyway. He was enjoying it.
Except it does since Galen was redirecting Sidious's Lightning back at Palpatine and the text states right after your highlighted quote that both Galen and Sidious were desperate.

Which doesn't state Marek was using lightning. Even then, the impact his lightning had on Palpatine is an *unquantifiable* factor due to Palpatine's lightning also being in the mix. 👆

It doesn't really matter though. I mean, Galen and Sidious are both channeling the ever increasing well of power between them in an attempt to defeat their opponent. The fact that they're both able to handle that power until the Rebels are about to be gunned down which prematurely ends the fight shows they're capable of matching each other for an indeterminate period.

👆 And, again, Palpatine wasn't truly desperate, as stated directly in the next sentence, and in other works where Marek was painted as being "no match" for him.
The text clearly states he's desperate. Sidious deriving sexual pleasure from pain does not nullify that as silly as it is.
Yeah, and whereas Marek is barely able to stay conscious, Palpatine is getting hard. There's no comparison.
