The Jedi Temple was the greatest nexus of Force energy in the Republic; its ziggurat design focused the Force the way a lightsaber's gemstone focused its energy stream. With the thousands of Jedi and Padawans within it every day contemplating peace, seeking knowledge, and meditating on justice and surrender to the will of the Force, the Temple was a fountain of the light.
The Temple was still the greatest nexus of Force energy on the planet, perhaps even the galaxy, and it was unquestionably the best place in the galaxy for intense, focused meditation.
Sounds more like a Force Nexus, than Light Side Nexus tbh.

Intrepid once gave me the RotS novel quote for it being an LS nexus and I remembered it being unconvincing.
This one says the Temple was a "fountain of light", so I assume that's what they're going for.
Originally posted by AzrongerYeah, and from Nexus of Power:
A "fountain of light" would certainly point to it being a light side nexus.
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.

No, the part where it says the Jedi bathed the galaxy in the light side does...
Which he immediately goes on to say is more accurately worded by the "bubble thing", as I said.

Yes it does, lol. What else could prevent the "infiltration of the dark side", than the light?
That's why I just conceded that it's likely on a historical basis since it tends to be a light side power that wards off the dark side.

He's obviously referring to the bathing part.
Originally posted by AzrongerYeah no idea why Razer and Zoltan are assuming differently.
Light side energy is still Force energy, lol.
Originally posted by cs_zoltanNo because its a light side vergence, which they built over i.e. before all that shit started kek.
Because the Jedi used it for meditating and seeking knowledge and other jedi shit, not because it's inherently light 😬The novel names it a nexus of Force energy twice, not a nexus of light side energy.
I mean you realise Nexus of Power is literally all about Force nexuses??

It doesn't preclude anything, but it doesn't indicate that it's a light side nexus either. The entire galaxy didn't become a light side nexus given the continued prevalence of DS nexuses and the emergence of new ones in that time.
Also, regarding your Tenebrous thread, it's worth noting that Plagueis mentions being trained by Tenebrous for at least as many years as the average human lifespan, which means that Tenebrous' reign would've been 70+ years and thus would've allowed him to surpass his own master by a more considerable amount.
It also ties in with your point about how Tenebrous could pump out Venamis, a Plagueis rival, in the span of just two decades.
I'm not going to ask if you are daft anymore, because I know you are. 🙂
Tenebrous describes the Jedi as having bathed the galaxy in the light side and goes on to safe more accurately, a Force bubble. He's not contradicting his previous statement, and nothing he says does contradicts it, he's just adding more detail and definition. For example if I were to say I'm holding a sharp pointy thing, or more accurately a sword, that doesn't make the sword any less sharp or pointy.
He also says that it protected them from the dark side, and Tenebrous' master had to rend a hole in the Force in order to start influencing them. So no it seems legit, and I wouldn't start making assumptions about the technicalities, could just exist on a "higher" cosmic plane.
But yeah, good point.

Tenebrous supporters are so desperate 😂

Tenebrous? Wasn't that Plagueis?
Anyway, as I said, Azronger's interpretation that the entire galaxy became a light side nexus is not accurate because dark side nexuses continued to exist during that time, and new ones formed around that time as well. Bathing the galaxy in the light side doesn't mean that such LS energies would've remained as nexuses. In fact, the word "bathe" carries the connotation of a one-time thing.
Yeah Plagueis my bad. And I edited:

The Force is split into two parts, living and cosmic. We know Force nexuses on planets and stuff are made up of living force, so this could just be cosmic and therefore separate.
Indeed despite Sidious spreading his darkness throughout the entire galaxy as early as RotS, light side energy still existed on places like Dagobah, the Jedi Temple and Felucia.
And no its obviously sustained, or the Sith wouldn't have to work against it. Force bubble in the contexts of the yslamari, bearing permanent connotations.
