The Non-Canon Expert looks at why Anakin Skywalker wasn't surprised when Palpatine revealed information about the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis.
This is a Legends story for Anakin Skywalker and Palpatine with information found within the Revenge of the Sith novelization. I hope that you enjoy it!

Hey everyone! Thank you very much for your very nice and incredibly supportive comments on the previous video. It really means a lot and it is greatly appreciated. I hope that you all enjoy today's video. Thank you again and have a great day everyone!
Welcome are you gonna do daily uploads and doing more videos?
I have waited long for this, welcome back old friend
Your posting actually made my day. I truly love your content and was worried when you weren't posting.
When the world needed him most, he returned
Please do a video with DARTH MELVIN , you and Melvin combined strength can end this destructive conflict and destroy fake fan fic Disney !
When the world needed him most, he returned. Welcome back.
Man I vividly remember skipping school and going to the theaters to watch episode 3. One scene that always stuck out to me even as a kid was that scene especially when he says “not from a jedi” little kid me got goosebumps lol
The RotS novelization remains a absolute treasure trove. There isn't a single scene in it that doesn't outshine the movie. Anakin and Palpatine in particular have outstanding moments that really provide insight into how Palpatine manipulated Anakin for years and now, finally, has him exactly where he's wanted him all along.
Glad to hear the voice of the NonCannon Expert again.
In this case non canon = real canon
@@bigbird2240 Well said.
Canon from a corporation that does not respect the lore and legacy of the property they purchased from its creator is no canon at all. Legends never die.
@@Hylanvahr That’s pretty ironic considering George Lucas never considered legends to be canon in the first place.
@@silentlyscreaming9821 Legends had its bad entries at times, and yes, it's been repeated countless times by geeky pedants that George didn't care much about the Legends tales and that they weren't his canon, but the EU overall honored George's work and continued the saga far better than anything Disney's Lucasfilm has produced thus far.
Oh Anakin, such a good boy. Seeing the good in everyone. Even the Sith lord telling him murderous bedtime stories. Such a good boy, bit of a temper tho.
I never saw Palpatine knowing about the Sith as a tell. He's the leader of an absolutely MASSIVE alliance of planets, with several MILLENIA of history, and the Sith are typically at the front against that alliance. To me, it'd be like thinking that the Chairperson of NATO is a Russian spy because he's knowledgeable on Russian history and culture.
couldn't have said it better myself lol
"Know your enemy like yourself"
Glad to see you’re back making legends content, massive W
I have never been happier to see internet rumour crushed. Welcome back, it’s so good to see you active and hear your voice voice ❤
Not only do we get a new SWRC video but it's a Darth Sidious talking point, and draws upon scenes from the ROTS novelisation and Labyrinth of Evil. I am in heaven right now 😊
I adore the Labyrinth of Evil novel! I really truly hope that it's included a future wave of non-cannon books re-branded as legends, and that it gets the unabridged audiobook that it deserves xx
Welcome back legends expert. How we have missed your wisdom. These days legends of old are not something tipicly discussed in the Fandom. Your knowledge is needed now more then ever.
Legends is discussed in detail in certain places if you know where to look. I'd recommend Manda-LORE or Matt Wilkins's UA-cam channels.
We’re so glad you’re back. We will watch your return with great interest.
Happy to see the channel returning to active! You were missed, SWRC!
I still miss the infamous "in this video exposé" but your work is always remarquable.
The smile I have right now is due to the love of this channel to see you back 😊
This is also explains his meeting with Anakin at the concert and asking the entourage to leave as if they were conducting a secret investigation of the Sith which was an ingenuious and perfectly organic way to slowly attach Anakin to the dark side.
Glad to see you back. I’ve really missed your videos. I hope everything is okay with you and everyone around you and glad go see you making videos again
Woah you're back!? This is great! I missed you a lot and watched all your old videos.
My guy you've been missed thank the maker the return...if not fooorrrr me but all your adoring fanssss. Much love
Sooo glad you’re back! Been binging so many of your videos lately as I listen to a bunch of the Legends books
I'd also say the reason anakin didn't question Palpatine is that the jedi order proved several times over the course of the war to be untrustworthy. Both not trusting anakin, and cutting corners whenever convenient for them. Yet holding others to the strictest of standards. Hypocrisy and incompetence is what drove the jedi to their graves, and why anakin ultimately sided with Palpatine.
Had the jedi freed anakin's mom, and took her away from tatooine, protected Ahoska instead of throwing her to the wolves, or offer to help anakin save his "friend" instead of telling him to let go, things would have turned out very different.
I'm so glad you're back, you do the best videos and don't rely on click bait or stupid thumbnails
I’d literally checked your channel the other day. Glad to see you’re back!
In ROTS, the way, i saw it, Anakin just didn't want to believe that the only person who was giving him confidence and actually recognizing his potential was potentially someone who he might need to take out. I mean, we gotta remember when Ani lost Qui-Gon, he had no parental figure besides Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan in his position couldn't possibly give Anakin the love and attention he needs, he couldn't't be the father figure. Palpatine knew this, and became that father figure that Ani desperately needed. So, basically for most of his life, Ani was groomed by Palpatine and he was the only figure that saw the potential in him unlike others. So, Anakin loves Palpatine with his heart and soul and always found solace in that man. Anakin already lost his mother and Qui-Gon (father figure), he didn't want to think of Palpatine being another loss for him. Anakin was just incredulous, so he tried his hardest to deny it despite the facts presented to him, the same way we would be if we found out someone we love did something horrible.
All that you said is fine but the moment Anakin realized Palpatine was the Sith lord the Jedi had been looking for, he should immediately dismissed just or everything Palpatine was saying to him! He should have seen it for what it was which was manipulation. Why? Palpatine was the one behind the invasion of Naboo. He was also the one behind all the attempts on Padme live. Now out of the blue, he would going to aid you in saving her life based on incomplete vision he had of her dying in child birth. Palpatine was using everybody and trying to kill everybody to get power.
If you get into some of the expanded universe stuff, including what is "legends", it all makes sense. I feel the biggest issue with the prequels, including Revenge of the Sith, was that each movie was limited to about 2 hours. There was just way too much going on to properly cover these deeper points of the plot to ever fit into these movies. That's why the mainstream audience wouldn't quite understand how Anakin really falls. I also feel that when George first made Episode 1 I don't think he still fully knew what he was going to do with 2 and 3. Again, just way too much content to throw in to 6 hours of film time.
@@arronfrazier7873 You have to realize that Anakin is still pretty young in Episode 3. He also wasn't properly developed on an emotional level, a combination of the traumatic experiences he had when he was growing up and also growing up in an environment where you aren't allowed to express your true feelings and instead are supposed to be stoic. Anakin really only had his mother, his lover Padme, his brother Obi Wan and his father Qui Gon who died very early on and was later replaced by Palpatine. His mother dies and later on he begins having visions of Padme dying. He seeks out help from Yoda and is told to "let go" of those feelings, as if that would help. If you also get into the expanded universe stuff or look deeper he was never fully embraced by other jedi and was essentially an outcast. He intended on only using Palpatine for his power and planned on overthrowing him. After the events on Mustafar he realizes that Palpatine is all he has left and commits himself to his master.
@@oglocbaby520 In any endeavor to some extent or alot, you have to have some emotional control and discipline as man. Anakin wasn't that and never planned on being that! He was power hungry before becoming Obi Wan Padwan! Yes, he had all those traumatic experiences but he had choice to train as Jedi. He was free after winning the Pod race. He could have stayed on Tatooine to work to free his mother. He never did that! Even, he didn't have to stay with the Jedi 5 years in or 10 years after marrying Padme, he didn't leave. Anakin choose to join a organization in the Jedi that is about discipline. Where the Jedi perfect? No, but he signed up for it and continued to stay. This notion, Anakin felt so kind of way for the Jedi so-called free him. He actually freed himself by winning the pod race. He had problem from Phantom Menace to Attack of the clones breaking rules or not following order countless times training. It didn't stop with the start and throughout the Clone wars. I get tired of the excuses for Anakin when he truley showed that when he decided to do something, he would do with.
@@arronfrazier7873 The way I look at it, Anakin was emotionally stunted. I know people make fun of Attack of the Clones, but the really awkward and cringey thing going on between Anakin and Padme highlights all of this. Again, this was due to his experiences growing up. If you were basically a warrior monk who was taken in relatively late into the Jedi order you'd behave in a similar manner. The prequels really weren't able to fully immerse the audience into the deeper things going on, there simply wasn't enough time for it.
It is good to hear your voice again, SWRC!
It warms my heart to hear you're back!
I was just thinking about this channel the other day and how it had been a while since it's seen anything from you. Glad to see you back man!
Glad you're still alive and posting. Thank you for all your lore reading.
Thanks for the information, and glad to have you back.
You provide probably the best Star Wars insight on UA-cam. Even after breaks in uploads, your content never disappoints and is always a pleasure
He’s back!! Welcome back!! Missed your content
It’s great to see you back making content! I know you’re mostly legends but would love to see you do some canon stuff if you enjoy any of it!
No !! Disney is fake fan fic trash
So he can be like all the other star wars channel like star was theory and stupid wave? No, I like his channel exactly like it is, keeping the real star was alive, before the dark times, before the disney
@@Vectivuss Precisely. I am not a fan of Disney’s canon and there aren’t many near-exclusively old canon channels around, so I’m happy SWRC is staying old-canon.
Thank you for the return
I started hearing whispers...
About SWRC's return...
As heir to the lore story.
Welcome back!🎉
Glad you’re back. Love your videos. So detailed with knowledge
Hope you never stop uploading, been watching you for ever now, lots of your videos helped me deepen what I know about Star Wars :)
It almost feels like a dream. We've missed you!
Man! I am so stoked that you are back! I love love love your videos! You sir, are lore master!
You have been deeply missed. Glad to see you again.
He may of felt he would sense any other force sensitive so never even considered someone like palpitiene
It's really nice to have you back!
Never trust UA-cam comments. I spent months mourning my favourite Star Wars connoisseur. You can't imagine how good it is to have you back, Glenn!
I missed your content, man! Glad to see you're back. Your fans haven't forgotten about you!
Hey!! Glad you’re back! Dude you got me through COVID.
Just as the ahsoka show came out I was thinking “hey what happened to reading club guy? I hope he’s okay..”
You're back! We missed your video essays dearly.
The ROTS novelization is awesome. I’ve read it before and it’s still great.
So glad to see you making videos again have missed your content keep up the great work
I was actually just wondering where you had run off to about a month ago, good to have you back!
OH MY CRAP!
WELCOME BACK!
Glad you're well
Finally you are back. O! My God, where were you all these days. Really missed your voice
You’re back!! OG lore channel for me happy to see you back in action buddy
So happy you're back. Thank you 👍
It is SO GREAT to see you have come back! Your videos got me through the initial stages of the pandemic. No one does Star Wars content like you from the intro, the background music and your voice sounding perfectly while giving information, and the outro every video. I was worried something had happened to you or thise around you.
I hope all is well with you and your fam+friends and I'm so excited to see you back that im doing things I never do on UA-cam like comment, subscribe, and clicking the notification bell. Glad to see more content from you and I'm looking forward to whatever you put out! Can't wait!
I know I’m a bit late but welcome back to one of the GOATS! I had been wondering where you had gone old friend, it’s good to see you back
I miss your star wars videos so much so happy you're back May the force be with you
Glad this channel is uploading again!
*_He cometh fourth from The Maw. And with it, appears his numerous fleets of improved ISDs._*
What is that from ? Hopefully not fake fan fic Disney
@@bigbird2240 *_Expanded Universe. When Thrawn comes out of the Maw with his advanced fleet._*
@@terminator6267 nice 👍 thx
Glad we're getting new Non Canon Expert, and glad we had several years of good content. I still miss the weekly uploads c.2016-2017 tho.
The GOAT is back!
Awesome video, thanks non cannon expert.

Well look who's back! 😊
I've missed these.. you and Theory are my favorite channels. We're gonna need you now that Thrawn is going live action 👊💀🍻🚬
Theory sold out , he nothing but a Disney fan fic shill
-did you hear the tragedy of d. Plagueis?
-yessss
-huh?? What?
-somehow he returned
-😵💫
Good to have you back, man
What if Anakin not only found out Palpatine was a Sith Lord but also a old-school, well-known, cheek-buster. An Interplanetary Booty Bandit?
There's non-canon for you.
Dont you tease me again...
...are u back or are you BACK!???
Anakin heard “Art Agnus d’Vie is a arbor on Bith”
Welcome back! I knew you’d return one day.
The glorious return!!!
I’m a bit late in saying this but I’m glad to have you back.
Oh shit you're back. Missed you.😊
Good to see the insightful Star Wars channel back.
Yes it’s nice to finally have you back SWRC!!!
I left a like for Informative Novelizations.
WAY BETTER THAN FAN FIC DISNEY SHILL SW THEORY !!
Nicely done!!! Now you've got me wanting to re-read the RotS and Darth Plagueis novels. 🤔 LOL Palpatine essentially normalized his understanding of the Sith to Anakin, but I still think Anakin's reaction to the revelation that he IS the Sith Lord is the most telling. Anakin, for all the ways in which he had become a great general and well known Jedi in the galaxy, was still relatively naive about many things. Add to that the fact that he already felt betrayed in several ways by the Jedi Order, specifically by Obi-Wan and the High Council, and you just have a recipe for disaster. Keep up the great work and thank you for the video! 😊
Glad to see you back!!
Holy shit he’s back
The GOAT has returned!
Have you read the "new" novelization of Darth Maul Shadow Hunter? If so, how do you feel about Disney removing all the mentions of Darth Plagueis and Plagueis's interactions with Darth Sidius. For myself I regret giving Disney my money and wasting my time reading it.
I really missed your videos, I have a while Playlist on for darth vader
I'm still unsure of the details that caused the Jedi to conclude that the Sith were extinct.
The Republic, the shield of the Jedi, keeping details on the Sith accessible to high-ranking members is completely understandable and was probably allowed or even handed over by the Jedi at the time so they would have a better understanding of them when they returned again. that being said, he probably should have questioned his understanding a bit as he wasn't a force user and even among the force users there can be a drastic difference in their understanding of the same or similar powers.
My boi is baaaaack, nice!
Welcome back!
The voice is sounding better compared to the first video back. Nice to hear your voice of reason in this age of nonsense...
I miss you SWRC! ❤
Welcome back old friend
Because Anakin was desperate for knowledge since he wasn’t allowed the rank of master which included the knowledge in the restricted section.
And the return of thrawn is the return of his biggest fan 😂
NO WAY WELCOME BACK DUDE
Great to see you again 😁
