Can something be a focal point of dark side energy and not be a nexus?

Yes or no? Discuss.

Not unless it's being expressly used for something.

Yes, yes it can. Savage was sending ripples through the galaxy through his rage, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly a nexus.

That doesn't make Savage a focal point of the dark side, though.

I'd assume it does, since he's essentially pulling a Reborn Krayt.

That just means you could sense his rage, not that he was a focal point, or a concentration of Force energy.

No, this wasn't sensing rage, this was literally Savage sending ripples through the Force.

Well, that happens quite often. That doesn't necessarily mean he was a focal point. The way the Jedi Council spoke about it in TPM, it was a pretty rare thing in a person.

Sure.

Exar Kun and Sdiisous were and we know sentiments can't be nexuses themselves though they can cause them.

Individuals can be nexus'. 😬

Um, no. Lol.

They can appear to be nexuses but they don't actually passively amp people around them.

And don't bother with the Vader quote I've already seen it.

Yes they do?

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.

---

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.

I already mentioned that individuals can seem to be nexuses and I was referring to the exact quote you posted as your second example. Regardless of if its an individual or place giving off a Darkside aura you wouldn't be able to tell unless you were actually under the effects of a nexus.

As for the first - Nexus: the central and most important point or place.

No, they don't.

What the hell are you talking about, lmfao?

A passive amp shouldn't be expected because the full nexus is contained within the body. Passive amps are generally when a broad nexus, like a planet, amps an individual without them having to call upon the power since they are within the power. That being said, some individuals, like Revan, are so powerful that quotes have stated they passively amp those around them, presumably because their Force energy leaks and bleeds onto the environment.

Then they don't function like a normal nexus.

Quote?

No, it's just a nexus confined to a specific location (i.e. the body of a person). It's not different from nexus' locked between walls, etc.

"The Revan was here yesterday. It is a gift to be in the presence. I felt the Force - it travels below your skin, strait to the heart, lungs, the gut. A warmth and a chill."

It's different in that the person is sentient and that they don't just passively amp someone like a planet or nexus.

Was that a force user or a non force user? Because if it was a force user feeling his presence is nothing special.

Do you read what I type? They don't because the nexus is confined, not because the nexus is different. The temples on Yavin IV, which are nexus', also confine the dark side energies. Meaning if you are near it but not inside it, you aren't passively amped. Same applies for the body. There's no distinction.

Non-Force sensitive slave.
