would have been cool to see Plagueis in the film.
You can

He wanted to tell Anakin about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise.
Tell the story of himself before he died? Did he know Sidious would kill him?
Is it possible to learn this power
@@david8791 Not from a gonk droid...
I type the same comment before
@@roshankattil8584 Oh sorry bro, didn't see it.
Darth Plagueis isn't a story that Disney would tell you.
True
They’d ruin it anyway
I may be wrong but I thought the Plagues novel was canon.
They would fuck it up
it's not canon... and for good reason... Anakin Skywalker is the prophesied one to bring balance to the force, Darth Plagueis novel (while a good story) basically just craps all over the main story of the films...
Imagine you're George Lucas and you work all that hard in producing an iconic universe... then a fan comes along, writes a book that cancels out your story... and everyone on the internet hypes that. I like to look at legends as legends... we have legends in this universe too and they're pretty cool
The real tragedy was not putting plagueis as the surprise villain in episode 9.....
I like this. Would’ve brought everything full circle
@@ericgrimes341 yeaaah
Nah-ah, too difficult a concept for Jar Jar Abrams and Roundhead Ree-Ree Johnson.
@@warfightersanonymous7760 true that hahahaha
Couldve been that Plagueis ended up figuring so much about the force that he truly did find how to become immortal, and survived Palpatine's assassination plot return all this time later.
But alas, *they dont know how to write Star Wars.*
Darth Plagueis walks into a bar. Bartender says "Why the long face?"
🤣🤣🤣
Have you ever heard the tragedy of the bartender?
🤣🤣😭🤣🤣
What are you talking about? He was over the muun
Because he's a gungan
I had no idea Plagueis was even alive during the Phantom Menace
If i'm not mistaken, he was actually alive up till the clones wars i believe.
@@MarionetteKazuko Nope . He died right after Palpatine got elected as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic
Tamás Pákey Didn’t he die when Maul did?
Edit: Maul didn't die, just defeated
joshe maul isn’t dead dude look at the movie solo and you’ll see
Maul dies in the rebels series if that’s canon
"Plagueis ran a hand over his forehead" surely that would take a few years...
Haahaha! It's a whole chapter in the book!
Lee Monk they needed disney to do a few shitty sequels explaining how long that took
Haven't read the books. Can you explain the joke, please?
Nice profile pic

Plagueis was such a bad ass. He's literally the reason Palpatine was able to execute order 66. He's the one who had the clone army made, he's the one who got Palpatine elected, and he's the one who's force manipulations made the force create anakin to create "balance" but hands Palpatine an apprentice to help carry out his will. He is literally the reason we have star wars as we know it!
I thought palpatine was the one who manipulated the midichlorians to create anakin ? . Unless you’re view is that plagueis was still the reason since he taught palpatine how to do it
@@narsayeee1578 As far as the legends Book about plagueis is concerned it was plagueis whose force manipulations led to anakin being created to "right the balance". Palpatine had only been an apprentice for 10 years at this point and was still pretty new to the dark side. He's also the one that set the grand plan in motion by having the clone army prepared 10 years in advance and is the reason Palpatine became grand chancellor.
@@dtwduuvaaall6865 didn’t palpatine send sifo-dyas to commission the clone army ? In a recent comic of Star Wars it’s said online that palpatine manipulated the midichlorians to create anakin , obviously would have learnt it from plagueis though
@@narsayeee1578 Again I'm speaking on the legends plagueis novel, which isn't Canon anymore. But I still follow legends for my head Canon because legends is MUCH better than the bs Disney puts out.
I know nothing about this character. How do I began to read start wars?
Palpatine didn't kill lord Plagueis. Plagueus killed himself when learned about Mickey Mouse making SW sequels
The tragedy of star wars the "onceamazingsaga"
Meh
Plagius got Epstein’d.
Plageuis when seeing the sequels on holovid: how could they do this it’s outrageous it’s unfair! How can they ruin Star Wars lore so much? Guess I’ll die

Have you ever heard of the tragedy of the expanded universe?
It’s not a story disney would tell you.

@@yasirisrar5493 omg same
A lot of you dont realize that anakins ascension to darth vader was part of the force's plan to bring balance to the force. George Lucas confirmed this when denouncing the sequel trilogy. He says "Many people mistake that Luke is the chosen one who defeated the sith, but in reality Luke only aided Anakin to defeat the sith, but balance meant destroying the jedi order too, therefore, despite the empire and vader's atrocities, balance was still brought to the force by Anakin"
Im heavily paraphrasing but basically anakin was the one who killed palpatine, not luke
I mean you can literally see that Vader kills Sidious, not Luke.
I started with the prequels so anakin was always the protagonist /chosen one to me
@@megablademe4930 and yet, somehow he returns...
@@nomes7918 that's why the big bad enemy revealed in episode 9 should have been Plaugeis, revealing that in his work to become immortal he was able to find some sort of way to cheat death such as the Star Wars / Force version of a Lich/Balenorn (undead wizard who uses magic to cheat death) or some other unnatural process, just as Qi-Gon had discovered how to communicate to the living from beyond using the force.
George Lucas also said Bringing balance to the force is actually getting rid of the sith, not the Jedi as the sith are cancers to the force
Plagueis was dead, Palpatine throw his head into Bikini Bottom, and his head become squidward's house

He really couldn't have been alive. It's always two sith, no more no less. That only leaves Palpatine and Maul.
@@charlessteibe3359 He was alive.
Maul wasn't supposed to be a sith when they first recruited him.
He was supposed to be an expendable soldier that knew lightsaber combat and the basics of the force, like Ventress or the inquisitors. Atleast thats what Palpatine told Plagieus.
@@charlessteibe3359 Plageuis was only aware of Maul as being a Sith assassin, not an apprentice proper to Sidious. Much like what Ventress was to Dooku.
@@charlessteibe3359 throughout the Irish trilogy there was always more than two. Once Pelagius died there was palpatine, maul, ventress, and dooku. Then in the original trilogy times there was sidious, Vader, and still maul not to mention the inquisitors
@@wesleyowens4089 Maul and Ventress were never true Sith. At the very least, Maul wasn't after the events of The Phantom Menace.
5:23 "Because if the Force was against them, what chance would they ever have"
Reminds me of the scene in The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf had the moth get a message to the Eagles. How could Sauron ever win, when every living thing in nature, from insects to eagles to men stood against him?
In fact, Eru too was against Sauron but tried to make it a fun little fight by sending 5 grumpy old men to inspire mortal beings to stand against Mordor instead of going himself and settling the argument in ten seconds.

Such much Mystery Behind Him Disney doesn’t need to go anywhere near him someone like David Filoni(George Lucas Protege),would be good at flushing out Darth Plaguesis Charcter-Arc Disney can go get a Frozen In Carbonite leave it to the Pro’s(💯).
I think if they made a series or movie about him they would fuck up instead they should make STAR WARS: Sith Legends and tell stories about vader, Palpatine, plagius, bane and more
@@brandenmoore8813 I feel like they should try to leave the old characters alone and utilize the vast Star wars universe, to create new original content, independent from all the characters, stories, places and plotlines we already know.

From what I have heard, Plaguis seems more inquisitive of Anakin than fearful of him. He might have been able to feel the great potential of the force in Anakin. I believe that he would strike a friendship with the boy and try to learn as much of him as possible. Being a businessman in the public spotlight he might have gone to Tatooine and brought Semi into his service to see if there were any effects from the force-induced birth. He might have a meeting with Qi-Gon, but instead of a sword duel they would hammer an agreement: they would train Anakin in the ways of both the light and dark together so as to make Anakin a balance in the living force. This would allow Plaguis to see how the force acts and reacts as Anakin grows in his training and to give him a better understanding of whether or not he caused the force to create the boy in response to his studying and pushing the limits of his own power and abilities.
Underrated comment

I’d watch or listen to that story, sounds intriguing. That would be an interesting direction, a writer could take the story.
Maybe he’s wary of his potential power and how he could ruin the Sith grand plan which ofc he does
In a sense, Qui Gon was right about Anakin defeating the Sith and bringing balance to the Force, although it took until Return of the Jedi for that to happen.
yes 10000% correct
That’s the point
What is balance?
2 Sith means there must be 2 jedi. Anakin killed all but Yoda and Obi-Wan. Balance.
@@r13hd22 In Star Wars balance in the force isn't supposed to be equal amount of light and dark, the dark side of the force is more like a corruption than it is the other side of a coin, balance is destroying the Sith and the power they've amassed through a thousand years with the rule of two. The light side you could say, is just the force as is.
As far as the movies and Lucas' vision goes, *that* is balance.
@@teratoid7702 Perhaps the prophecy wrong was read.
...anyway, you are wrong. There is a ton of Pre-Disney content approved by Lucas that says balance in the force is when neither the Jedi or Sith has more power than the other.
It is a Jedi teaching that the Dark side of the force is a corruption. The living force itself has neither a dark or a light side.
There is only the force.
Imagine the emperor saying I am ur father to anakin
Also first
That’s not true. That’s impossible!
He could tell Kylo he is his great grandfather in episode IX. And if he created Rey, they are both his great grand children.

Gee purrs you are forgetting DARTH KATHLEEN KENNEDY
its kind of weird hearing that 'the chosen one' was a complete wild card. I always imagined and was led to believe that Palpatine manipulated events to find the chosen one and eventually groom Anakin into Lord vader
I always thought Plagueis created Anakin because of what Palpatine said about creating life.
...but the force created Anakin to resist Plagueis? That's way more interesting! Cause now I got a whole set of new questions about the force
What if Obi Wan had never said “Hello there”
What if Captain Marvel had taken the Infinity Gauntlet and kept it for herself?
What if they never executed order 66?

The GunMaster it filled in everything we needed to know about the Death Star, everything in rogue 1 was Canon and took place before “a new hope” the film you want would be kinda misleading and really not important to the main story

Who cares about the "main" story if something is a good story.
Nothing wrong with exploring tangential lore through film.
You're asking the Mouse to make good a deal?

Fun fact: In the novel, Plagueis had a vision of the Clone Wars and Anakin becoming Darth Vader, and absolutely lost his sh__t. This happened in the events of Ep.1 as he was spying on Qui-Gon and co. when they were boarding Padme's ship on Coruscant to return to Naboo.

Good comment V
It’s so weird to think that Plagueis is still alive in the Phantom Menace. While we never see him on screen, it’s strange to think that he both lives and dies offscreen in TPM
In facts palpatine kill him after he was elected 'chancelier', before i think like you, but he was alive a the first episode
I think its a bunch of BS just created to give the fans an fan-gasm. It doesn't make sense that he's still alive in the Phantom Menace.
The Sith have the rule of two; we know Maul is Palpatine's apprentice in the Phantom Menace. So you could argue that Palpatine became a Sith master while Plagieus was stil alive and Plagieus got another apprentice. But Plagieus was killed by his apprentice in his sleep, this apprentice being Palpatine. So, in between the Phantom Menace and The Revenge Of The Sith, Palpatine became Plagieus his apprentice again and killed him?! And somewhere before or after that he also aquired Count Dooku as an apprentice?!
@@Boris_V Well the rule of two isn't a cosmic rule or something, like "you can't go faster than the speed of light" 😆 Dooku had Ventress as an apprentice when he was apprentice to Palpatine, also at some point Maul had his brother as apprentice while Palpatine, Dooku and Ventress were still alive, five sith in total 😆 Back in the old republic (before the rule) there was a shit load of sith. The rule of 2 was more of a guidline which, obviously, if it fitted the purspose, no sith would give a flying fuck about 😆
An alternate prequel trilogy:
'Darth Plagueis', 'TCW', 'Revenge of the Sith novel'
If this is an alternate prequel trilogy then what is an alternate sequel trilogy
@@chrispy3369 That's a whole god damn sequel saga! Thrawn trilogy, Dark Empire, then onto the NJO and beyond...
(Now Sidious is back in the movies, nobody who loves the ST can mock Dark Empire for being stupid)
@@ilo2224 I'd rather the sequels be like an old republic era republic vs empire scenario. The New Republic should have founded itself as a formidable body in 50 years but enough imperial sympathizers would exist that would back a second empire with many of the challenges of the New Republic being not to slip into becoming like the old galactic empire as well as the war they fought. Palpatine coming back could work too. At the very least it would actually be a new era and not a rehash of the OT.
@@chrispy3369 the original EU sequels comics but in film
Revenge of the Sith movie was great
To the video editor: Please decide whether Plagueis has a nose or not.
Eradicator7 there’s only one picture with him having a nose. And these are the only available pictures of him.
@Lee ji-eun Lover That makes a lot of sense actually
It's schrodinger's nose, it both exisits and does not at the same time
Alan like Arty Lange’s
Actually he had his face disfugured in a surprise attack so he might have had a nose before.
I think this is perfect. Sith, by their nature (greed?), push to far. So the force did push back. And the sith master missing Anakin is the perfect tease, or allude, by the force.
I've always wanted to see a fan fiction of the force itself literally becoming an embodiment. Like the midi-chlorians literally taking on a human form of pure power. The reason for it, well I haven't thought that far ahead but it just seems like a cool concept
It would’ve been so easy to replace palpatine with plagueis in TROS. Just say he was snoke and that he was puppeting his own clowns
Snoke even wore a ring with a black Kyber crystal found under Vader's castle on Mustafar, I mean its perfect to keep imperfect stand casts or failed clones alive with unnatural dark force, could have even seen luke defeat one before the reveal to show how competent a master he became...ohh well it was all there for them.
@Laith Rajha plagueis is my favorite Sith Lord
@Laith Rajha sorry I only partly agree, my ideas were just a bit of fun and kinda bad lol...but I belive snoke was ment to be plagueis in 7 8 and 9 and survived in his own body like you said hence the damage and his fragility... it was set up to be revealed imo as he is referred to as very wise by kylo ren, and the theme as he is introduced is an altered version of the theme played during the story of Darth plagueis the wise in episode 3, andy circus claimed snoke was ancient, powerful yet very frail from his injuries...and Adam driver was asked in an interview post episode 7 if he knew about darth plagues the wise and his face just gave it away, so I have no doubts.....but yeah the whole cloning thing was abit rubbish in general...but palpatines was a more awkward fit for me, basically because of how it affects the legacy of the older films considering he served as the secret evil grandmaster who's fate was part of a heros journey and concluded on screen , rian didn't want that being redone with snoke so he sliced him in half badaboom..kylo ren is the big bad guy...except he was way too likeable to serve as the main villan and clearly set to align with the light side...its just Disney's falt, they were too concerned about sequels threequels, spin offs, and coffee mugs and rey Skywalker action figures to even care about the feel of the series.
Plegueis was making sure he didn't have to pay child support.

"Balance" = 10,000 jedi and 0 Sith 😂
1 jedi = balance,but when a sith appears its getting unbalanced,the amount of siths are important but not the amount of jedi,what you said is a major disunderstanding in the community,✌
Maserati_lukas really? So there can be a million Jedi but when a few Sith pops up it’ll create an unbalance? Genuinely curious
This comment is at 69 likes, don’t un like it or like it. We must keep it there
Balance means zero siths. Like in your life do you balanced when you have bad and goods things happen to you?
I may be wrong but so correct me if I am, but these are a few things I have picked up over the years. Yoda's Prophesy many hundreds of years prior said there would be one who would bring balance to the Force. Possibly one conceived by the Force itself? The Jedi took this to mean that the force would be out of balance but were too nieve to consider themselves as part of the problem. For a long time, the Jedi were unopposed because the Sith had gone into hiding. I suspect that Plagueis, while he had a plan and was a really powerful Sith master was considerate of his actions and likely a lot wiser than Sidious/Palpatine. I understood that Palpatine killed Plagueis when he thought he was now better than Plagueis. In Hindsight Plagueis was a lot wiser still. But unfortunately was killed by his impetuous student who didn't have the same foresight.
Plagueis, as Palpatine said was able to create and sustain life due to his immense connection and control of the force. As for the Prophesy, it is my understanding that while people have but the legacy on Anakin Skywalker, I believe he is not directly the one. Arguably that he and Luke together might be the One to create Balance. Another theory is that the 2 of them together paved the way for Rey to be the One. She upholds the principle of the Jedi while coming from sith heritage. Rey, much like Asoka and the Bendu before, is likely to seek a middle ground. And as the last one left (we assume) trained in the way of the force. She has become the Balance with neither side holding any power.
I didn’t know Pelagueis was still alive during the events of Phantom Menace, nor that Dooku was still with Jedi, at least at the temple, during that time as well. That does help me with the timeline in which Dooku turned to the dark side sometime after training Qui-Gon.
I too believe that if Lord Plagueis met Anakin the Force would have prevented him from understanding the Medicloreans intentions. Thus, I also believe Lord Plagueis would've found a way to take Anakin away to some place where Plagueis could better analyze and extract Anakin's skill.
I’d like to see a Plagueis spinoff with a Harry Potter Deathly Hollows vibe to it
Pardon?
The fuck?
You mean two movies that could have been one?
Make it a TV series based on the books.
💀💀”Deathly hollows vibe to it”
This level of lore is missing from the sequel trilogy...
This level of lore is given by talented book authors, not the movies.
Any level of lore is missing in the sequel trilogy
JustRandomPerson yeah, you know that isn’t true. You don’t like the movies, and that’s fine, but don’t be pointlessly hyperbolic and pretend to be genuine
lol this is hammed in through novels and comics after the movie was released. Nothing of the sort was in the movie. Even Clone Wars was released to pacify people cause they said nothing in the movie justified Anakin's dark turn when he went to save his mother.
Henry Tims that is kind of true but he had a point there isn’t a lot going on in the sequel trilogy while in the prequels there is always something different and new. the sequels feels just like the ot redone
Yoda wants to explore inner space, palpatine wants to rule outer space. That is the fundamental difference between the light and the dark side
One of the best Star Wars books I've had the oelasure of reading. Really emphasized how so much greater the Sith was at plotting and one-on-one.
Plagueis: look kid have u ever had lightning pop out your fingers
Anakin:no but I can sometime see visions

Very good vid, thanks for covering this background plot!😊
I have a hard time accepting Plagueis even being alive in that time period. It just always felt to me that when Palpatine told Anakin about Plagueis, he was telling him a the story of someone who had at least died before Anakin's birth.
for sure

Love this book....it's a classic as far as I'm concerned. The story of Darth Plagueis puts The Phantom Menace into perfect context. The audiobook is superbly read too.
Had the opposite effect on me and is one of the main reasons I will never buy another star wars novel. Had no respect for existing lore and changed not only TPM, but the entire prequel and slapped every fan of novels before 2010 in the face with a disrespect for everything they knew.
There can be only a master and an apprentice. The Rule of 2. Created 1000s of years before this time period. Palpatine changes this rule after becoming Emperor...this is why there are not a bunch of sith running around like Jedi.

So Plagueis was alive in Phantom Menace? Didn’t know that, just assumed Palps killed him before the story began
Read or listen to the book Darth Plagueis by James Luceno. It's great! You not only get Plagueis, you also get Palpatines origin story.
According to the no longer canon book, Palps and Plagueis were celebrating the fact that Palpatine was elected Chancellor and he got so drunk he couldn't fucking move and that's when Palps killed him. Yup.
White People I thought force users couldn’t get drunk
@@kingpowerlifting5985 Why did you think that?
What did Plagueis think of Palps having an apprentice then? He was breaking the rule of two
Plagueis would most likely just act like a kind man to anakin like palpatine does but not to turn anakin to the dark side he would just do it to see the boy for himself to feel the force and if it’s strong with anakin and when he finds out that the force was strong with anakin he would get palpatine to slowly try to get anakin to join the dark side of the force
The way I see it. Anakin DID bring balance to the force: Vader and Palpatine on the one hand. And Kenobi and Yoda on the other.
Balance.
exactly
Plaguies: I am his father
Mistress: but your a walking slender man
Lol check this out ua-cam.com/video/_pUkr4gm4rg/v-deo.html
"A walking slender man" because apparently slender man doesn't walk
@@ibn_adham He fucking zooms and teleports.
Consilium Pacis well, he doesn’t on any slender-verse games or films
@@madness3x8 yes he do
Would love to see a movie or Series about Plaugeis...
Perhaps Benedict Cumberbatch as the Wise Sith Lord?
not from disney
I’d prefer Charles Dance to take the role
Oooo Benedict and/or Charles would be amazing!
@@chase21592 who's Charles and why is he dancing
7Reen Charles Dance is an actor who’s best remembered playing Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones.
Plagueis saw Sidious as a true partner and ally while he saw Dooku as a insurance apprentice in case Sidious got either imprisoned in a place that is too well guarded and watched, got crippled badly, or if Sidious met the afterlife and saw Maul as a skilled animal but a mere attack dog and little else and he saw Anakin as a potential threat due to the force creating him yeah.
This is a pretty dope video, I never knew Plagueis was alive during TPM, him seeking Anakin seems like a pretty dope deleted scene.
Found your podcast on Spotify👍
The Plagueis book fit so well into the Star Wars lore.
How did Plagueis try to meet Anakin if he was killed before by Sidious? Maul was already Sidious's apprentice when Qui-Gon took Anakin with him.
@@tikku-ukko He wasn't, Plagueis was very much alive during the clone wars, just out of sight.
The training and reveal of Maul was part of Plagueis' plan. What wasn't part of it was Palpy shortly thereafter killing him and taking over the plan for himself.
@@gradyyoung1434 Oooh ok
Grady Young not during the clone wars, it was some time after TPM, in 32BBY.
@@the17kyd Plagueis didn't die after TPM. He died during it. His death happened the night before the day Palpatine was elected Supreme Chancellor, which happened before the film ended.
An, “I am the father,” moment.
I never knew about you until discord. Love your channel. Good job.
Thank you for the great video, and sharing!
Ultimately, the Star Wars saga seems like the story of a really messed up family.
That's typically what sagas are.
And that too with no incest involved. Unless Disney wants to go there.
That is exactly what it is.
George lucas said thats what its about fathers and sons, a space opera
"Darth Plagueis, you are NOT the father." Collective Ohhhhhhhhhh
Plagueis is an excellent book. But as far as I'm concerned it's very clear in the book that plagueis accidentally created anakin during his meditations. Something he realises when he finally sees anakin and has powerful visions. He intended to tell sidious that they will need to alter their plans, but realising that sidious was going to betray him, he duped sidious into killing him. He's a serious monastic ascetic dedicated to understanding the force, with extraordinary mental and physical force control. The idea that he can be intoxicated on wine and distracted by sidious's small talk at such an epic moment is unrealistic (his visions had shown him that this was not the final ultimate victory he was designing - something he didn't share with sidious - and sidious himself couldn't hardly believe how easy killing plagueis was either). Plagueis never actually died, but that story will probably never be correctly told now after these recent disastrous Disney movies.
I think he would kill him right on sight after feeling the potential power of both light and dark side, that could even ruin Plagueis ultimate plan. Having Anakin on his mind, not being able to reach the boy is exactly what palatine needed. Plagueis was distracted by this disturbance in the force, allowing by then Sidious to kill him. This is exactly why he didn't meet the boy Vader, as he was meant to bring balance to the force. Plaguesis death was the first domino to fall.
2:08 "Can I ask what the prophecy is? Why is that something I don't know?!"
Mickey Mouse said this never happened.
The Mouse Apocrapha are false scriptures, exercises in Sith deception, to convince us of quick and easy paths. Set aside their corrupted teachings.
Worse; it happened, but none of it mattered or made a difference, because there wasn't a wahman to defeat them.
It’s not a story the mouse would tell you...
No one cares about mickey
Impossible... perhaps the archives are incomplete
Didn't know Plagueis was still alive during the events of the Phantom Menace
Plagues gets murdered by palpatine once he becomes chancellor... He gets him drunk and after several hours of stabbing him he dies
@@frazzofwar don't forget after hours of force lightning ⚡ and,ay,ya,yay,speeches!
Yes plagueis dies right after anakin helps destroy the blockade at the end of episode 1, I actually believe it was the night before the big parade they had at the end to celebrate
I’d love a film or Disney+ series based on Plaugise with his master, and then how he came to meet Palpatine. I know we have the book, and the book is amazing, but something that I can see on screen would be great.
NO. We don't want Disney to touch Plagueis in any way, shape or form
Thats dope af , plaigus was kicking around :O
Wait....isn't Jar Jar Darth Plagueis the Wise
Best theory
That would have been better than 7-9
He should of been
Darth.
@@Fuzzycat16thx man i edited it!
Mesa Darth Jar Jar
the force is anakins father so technically the force is male. take that Kathleen Kennedy.
Who's Kathleen?
@@tommybrad6393 The dumb bitch that's ruining star wars.
Liberals ruin everything.
@@Molegahe1234 so this Kathleen is in charge of Star Wars right now?
J/A BOYS ehhhhhhhhh
In the event Disney sells the franchise back to Lucus - I would like to see the original final trilogy play it's way out.
And yes, it would be very interesting if Jar Jar is in fact Darth Plageous.
Great analysis. I loved the book. Would love to see this a movie for sure.
Imagine creating a character called snoke? Laughable.
I'd like to buy the world a snoke and teach it harmony.
Well, Palpy did.
I would like your comment but you at 69 likes so nice
@@parkp4497 lol, understood.
Imagine creating that character.. putting hype and mystery around him and then killing him off in the next chapter.... that would be crazy
I like the fact that the Sith seem to believe that the Jedi are sort of naive/easily deceived, but as soon as Qui-Gon is sure of something, the sith go "Well shit!" It seems like they view Qui-Gon as being way smarter/more in-tune with the force than the rest of the Jedi. It's like that meme of "I fear no man. But that thing... it really scares me" only it's "I fear no jedi. But Qui-Gon... he really scares me"
I think that might be because Qui-Gon is more of a Grey Jedi, at least in certain novels.
Didint palpatine kill his master in his sleep a long time before the phantom menace?
No it was during
he had to work his way down his forehead, i'd say the first 3 episodes at least.
No he did that when he was nominated for chancellor. Apparently they were celebrating and had a lot to drink, and palpatine killed him in his sleep
He did it right before his inauguration
Plagueis to Anakin *"I, am your father!"*
I still say Plagueis was the one who created Anakin as the true counter to destroy Palpatine as he forseen the rise of the Empire and perhaps even his own death. Plus, Palpatine himself in ROTS says "To cheat death is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret." That right there pretty much seals it for me. Plagueis created Anakin and Palpatine wanted to discover that secret, hence why he wanted Anakin and why he kept him by his side for so long. And in RoS it seems as though he may have gotten his wish.
I remember when I read one of the phantom Menace Books I forgot what it was but Anakin talked about how he found a old sith hologram and he told one of the old pilots and how the pilot turned cold and scared and told Anakin some sith legends I thought it was cool
*plagueis ran a hand over his forehead*
"this would take some time"
lol
One possible scenario is that if Plagueis had met him, he would have not sensed the force in him, since Anakin was mentioned to be nearby and Plagueis didn’t sense it. However, upon seeing Anakin he may have had powerful visions about him after leaving Anakin which would have increased his desperation to get him in the Sith’s clutches. This would have made the storyline possibly more Sith centered and focused on the tensions between Palpatine and Plageuis and less focused on the heroes. This would have created an interesting plot point as to how Plageuis’ power compete with Sidious’ political savvy and what happens when one idea base restricts the other in the quest for greater power.
I still dont understand why this wasn't in the movie shit would of been so good
Because it would’ve made no sense for Plagious to be there along with Sidious and Maul. That’s 3 Siths and plus with the Tragedy of Darth Plagious the Wise it was implied it happened many years before Anakin was even born.

Thank god for you! I watched star wars last year for first time and became obsessed! I desperately need these explanations!💜❤️🔥❤️
This was great can't wait for the next one
