It's not remove the force from the area, it's cut off this area's connection with the Force. There are a few techniques to do it, just the Sith Emperor was able to do it to an entire planet.

Because they didn't think it through as anything beyond something to make their pet Emperor superspecialawesome.

I said they are not entirely different, it's still a type of Force Drain, a skill of Dark Side of the Force.

Yeah, Nihilus drained more than 1 planet, he also got pretty much the same goal. The difference is just that he does not rule an empire. However the Empire really got a lot of inner problem and the Emperor didn't seem want to solve it.

Yeah, still doesn't sound like what happened with the Emperor. Especially as I read the actual article more. The planet doesn't kill people who go there, the Emperor does not kill people by his mere presence. Different effect, somewhat similar results.

Sure they got some difference, but I'm sure the Emperor's ability is also skills of the Dark Side.

Tbh i still don't get how the Dark Council from the Revan novel managed to learn about the Emperor's childhood and homeplanet.

True,but unlike Nihilus,The Emperor is not hungry.He just wants to be a god.I don't get how he can rule over an empty universe but i guess it makes sense to him.

He wasn't overly interested in ruling either. He was doing it just for the pure power it gave him. The Empire is a means to an end for him, that's it.

So unlike Palpatine, he's more of a Sith rather than a politician/ruler. That's why he left the empore to those endless inner conflicts.

No. His goal was to devour the galaxy, and then rule the universe.

Ni just wanted to devour.

Slowpokeking Posts: n/a	I killed that fat Sith on Nar Shadda, was thinking about spare his life when he lost his worshipers and offer a treaty. But he used trick on me, not even a fair duel. So he's too dangerous to keep alive. I must say Sith Inquisitor's main storyline is boring but the minor parts are fun.

You know what I hate?

That the asshole who arranged the photograph in your signature had time to insert just about every character from all six movies into the frame, including Jar Jar Binks, front and center, but left out Boba Fett.
