You know Palpatine just wanted to skip ahead and say "Well, I still killed him, tho" but showed restraint and let the story build....then the end became..." His....erm... apprentice got rid of him."
As someone who almost literally never reads books I can say that Plageuis was worth every minute of reading. Such an immersive story that brings so much understanding and enlightenment into the Star Wars trilogy as a whole.
Yes! I read the books and plagueis is hands down my favorite. Also the audiobook is amazing!! Listen to it on audible if you can. The sound effects and ambient background noise makes it so epic!!
It doesn't, though. It's a LITERAL. RETCON. By definition, it did not exist at the time of the creation of the movies. Things freelance authors shoehorn in after just because the license holders want to flood the zone with books are not canon. Never have been, never will be. In any medium.
@@davemccombs To my understanding, George Lucas sanctioned and gave the final sign off on everything that hit the EU while the IP was still in his ownership. There is a 1.5 hour video by Captain Fordo explaining this with interviews, behind the scenes details, and people working for Lucasfilm that confirmed it (ua-cam.com/video/TxTGIY7n5TU/v-deo.html ). Based on this, it was canon, and was sanctioned by Lucas himself to be part of the “C-tier” canon, along with 95%+ of the other books that now fall into the “Legends” category. This tier sits right behind the official “G-tier” canon of George himself. He didn’t write it, but it being released and licensed by Lucasfilm means it had his stamp of approval.

To be fair, I think he really counted on Palps wanting the knowledge that old Hego had held back concerning the esoteric force. Sidious didn't give a damn though
He wasn't as stupid as Dooku. Dooku knew about the Rule of Two and that Sidious had a borderline creepy obsession with Anakin yet he still didn't see the betrayal coming.
@@tgmartin @FFA441 I feel the same is true of Plagueis' master Tenebrous. I feel like after awhile they become complacent and/or begin to overlook certain things that could lead to their downfall. I feel like I've seen a discussion about this before somewhere.
@@CuernoPequeno1007 It might be good old fashioned arrogance. That's what killed Sidious in the end, too. (Well, the first time.) He was fully convinced that Vader was his creature, but his arrogance made him unable to account for Anakin.
one reason Darth Bane was PO'd at his apprentice, Zanna, is she kept putting him off. his health was starting to fail and he wanted her to challenge him while he was still strong. the thinking is by waiting until Darth Bane was weak and then challenging him, she would not really prove her worth of being the Master. the same would have been said of Palpatine getting Plaguies drunk and then killing him would be a hallow victory over his master and not testing his dark side abilities.
Darth Zannah did face Darth Bane in a formal challenge combat the Bane wanted to happen. According to Darth Plagueis that concept only lasted about 5 centuries though. They broke tradition or you could say evolved and started using cunning, stealth and deception to take the mantle.
I don’t agree drunk or not if one is truly powerful in the force specifically the dark side they would anticipate the deception. Plagueis let his guard down. By the rule of two if you can’t detect and deflect threats to you, you are no longer strong enough in the force to be the true master and it’s time to go. The real downfall of both bane and plagueis was their attempt to circumvent the rule of two and trying to extend their life through another body of need be. They tried it and failed
Easily the best SW book in my opinion. I loved too how they tied it into the Darth Maul book: Shadow Hunter, as well as the Bounty Hunter game. Small details, but it was really cool how it all fit together
I read the book about half year ago. I loved it but I got trouble with some people names during the events. I loved almost every part of the book. My favorite was when Plaguies and Palpatine go to a primitive planet and kill warriors. I would love if you guys covered that part as well. I read the Plaguies novel and the Bane triology and discovered those where you guys favorite too. Keep it up with the Sith Lore and love to see more of Bane.
If they have any clue about star wars, they'll bring him back as the main protagonist in any future movies. They even moved to bring him into the Acolyte. PLAGUEIS LIVES.
I assumed the big mysterious hologram ugly man in episode 7 was our boy plageaux. Whatever his name was. Darth Snape or something. I didn't see the next movies but I'm assuming he was just another evil ugly man based on your comment
@@MDWEDITS The SWT & TSW video man was epic, For UA-camrs that in the past may have had differences & now come together to give us amazing content is so so cool
The Darth Plagueis Novel is one of my favourite Star Wars Books, I loved reading about how the two implemented the Grand Plan and Plagueis pulling every favor he could to get Palpatine elected.
I don’t know about you but I hate this “will of the force” stuff cause it takes agency away from the characters. I was under the impression that Plagueis created Anakin but no the force did it. And Palpatine didn’t decide to kill Plagueis, the force told him to. And all that crap in the sequel trilogy. It’s like the force is the only character and everything else is following orders cause the force will retaliate if they don’t.
@@soyevquirsefron990 The Dark Side responds to the will of people if they are skilled and strong enough. By Plagueis and Sidious being the only two Sith in the entire galaxy, their accordant meditation caused the Dark Side itself to somehow attack or weaken the Light Side (I always assumed they knew this from a combination of an ancient Sith holocron discovery and Plagueis' research). This action seemed to put pressure on the force, and Anakin was like a fault line slipping and relieving pressure in an earthquake (Anakin had the most midichlorians of any known living being). The Light and Dark are not so simple as Good and Evil, but are rather just different aspects of the force that respond to sentient will and manifest reality in some ways.
In the prequel trilogy, why did the Jedi council say that the sith had not been around for a thousand years... What event made them think that they had wiped out the sith? Or what exactly happened... If plagueis was around during that entire time...
I believe it was the events that led to Bane and the Rule of Two that lulled the Jedi into believing the Sith were no more. Also, Plagueis was well-verses in hiding his force presence, much like his apprentice Palpatine would later emulate to pose as the chancellor, and he went by the name Hego Demask. Him and Sidious were literally hiding right under the Jedi's noses. Between the dark side clouding the Jedis vision and their own hubris, they never had an inkling that the Sith had never truly been destroyed, but only went into hiding.
Mainly arrogance had the Jedi convinced that the sith were extinct. Also the rule of 2 served as an effective ruse - the Jedi hadn't encountered sith, so they assumed the sith were gone. Really, there were just very few sith and they were effectively in hiding
Your video made me realise how instrumental Plagueis is in the Sith Grand Plan. He put the seeds Palpatine built upon. Plagueis' death by Palpatine is like Fire Lord Azulon was killed by Ozai in Avatar. Both were killed in their sleep, well Plagueis was asleep when attacked and drunk so that he failed to defend himself. Azulon was killed by a colourless, odorless poison.(described in the Avatar comics) And Azulon ruled during most part of the war. By Ozai's ascension, the war was more or less won.
I would like a video on some horror aspect of the unknown regions, or something similar. Something that was not in "why shouldnt you visit unknown regions" series
Plagueis was my first star wars audio novel. Now I'm fucking hooked. So far Bane Trilogy for the story, and Shadow Hunter for Sam Witwer are my 2 favorites so far.
My only problem with the book is the rule of 2, there would be some overlap between where maul was trained by sidious and where sidous would’ve been plaguies’ apprentice. Sure you can make the argument that sidous was just starting his master plan but I think maul wouldn’t have been easy to hide once he revealed him to the separatists. Now if palp killed him right after he was elected to chancellor maybe it could work but even then I think what’s more likely is plagueis had this master plan that he had started setting in motion (uniting the trade federation into agreance with rebelling, getting palpatine elected as senator of Naboo) but was stricken down just before the blockade on Naboo and palpatine took plagueis’ plan, tweaked it, and ran with it
This was definitely addressed in the book. The rule of two was not broken because Maul was not considered a Sith. He was a force sensitive assassin who would be filled in on the Master Plan. Maul actually revealed the Grand Plan to a force sensitive user who he was supposed to kill. Sideous exiled him for a time for doing so.
yes, toward the end of the book Darth Bane was suffering from some neurodegenerative condition which he flexed his left hand to keep if from locking up. the very last thing in the novel shows Darth Zanna standing there and it saying her left hand slightly flexed.
I love getting Pre Phantom Menance Star Wars content. It would be really great if we got Tales of the Sith showing Darth Plagueis and Tales of the Jedi showing Sifo Diyas.
This may be a dumb question but here goes… How could Plagueis drink wine to the point of drunkenly passing out on a couch if he had to wear a respirator at all times to keep him alive? From the artwork I’ve seen, this respirator was similar to Darth Vader’s in that it completely covered his nose and mouth. Vader could take his respirator off briefly while in bacta tanks and his pressurized pod on his Star Destroyer. Getting back to Plagueis… If he was so dependent on his respirator that he had to sleep with it on or he’d die, how could he get drunk with it covering his mouth without being in some sort of pressurized chamber? Not sure if this is addressed in the novel or anything, just curious! Great video as always! Thanks for doing what you do!
Was the drink Red rum? (Murder backwards) maybe Plagueis should have used the death sight on Sidious, then without that respirator they both not only end the other but the Bane lineage too, so Anakin won't turn to the dark side or kill the tuskin raiders because Sidious didn't pay them to capture and torture Anakin's mom.
It would be interesting if we could have seen an alternate version if the story. One where Plaugis lived longer. How might that have changed the story?
If he lived longer he likely would have lived forever. Either that or chosen one shenanigans would have been to defeat Plageius who likely would have wiped out the Jedi Council. Anakin would have become a lot more of a commodity at that point.
9:19 was it before or was it after the speech that made Palpatine the Supreme Chancellor? I thought it was after and they were celebrating. Please get back to me on this as I am trying to remember
before--he had already won the election, and his speech to the Senate was supposed to be the following day plagueis had this idea that he would be brought in as "co-chancellor" -- in his persona as damask, he'd been out of the public eye for some time, but recently returned to basically pull every favor he could muster to get the votes to secure palpatine's chancellorship, and his own with it
Force Lightning worked once???! Plagueis probably wasn’t afraid of Palpatine cause he only taught him the lightning thing as a prank but Sheeve made it work. Once.
No Plagueis became cocky. The novel said he called on the Force like a storm. Then he stopped. Although he could revive his test subjects from death, he wanted to see if he could do the same to himself.
It was Senator Pax Teem who hired the Maladins who severely injured Darth Plagueis. King Veruna nuked Sojurn, but Plagueis was warned by Jabba and he got off the planet unscathed. He then sent a holo message to Veruna which made him vacate the throne. Then Plagueis got his revenge on Naboo.
I remember when Yoda told Anakin to be mindful of his visions, as trying to avoid them he could be stepping into them. Maybe Qui-gon could have raised Anakin better, or by doing so taking him out would be more damaging than letting Obiwan train him. But this is just speculation, what I find interesting, is that maybe Plaigues accidentally set the Sith demise.
Wave - Can you please cover how a Jedi or Sith Temple is created? Also, is there any Grey Jedi or Dark Jedi during the years of Anakin and Luke Skywalker ?
If there's a 'glass is half-full' aspect to "The Acolyte," it's that it caused me to read "Plaguis." Well, it was an audiobook, so listened to. It was really good. I started the books with (i forget their name) aliens from another galaxy that have a Hellraiser Cenobite thing going on, but i got bored halfway through the first book.
@frenzalrhomb6919 "Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the sith. So powerful and so wise. He could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side. He could even keep the ones he cared about from dying." "He could actually save people from death?" "The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some considered to be unnatural." "What happened to him?" "He became so powerful. The only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." "Is it possible to learn this power?" "Not from a Jedi."
@@Ravenfanatic5 Thank you very, very much. Did you do that from memory alone? I remembered only about a quarter or so of that short piece of the script, but I don't think I can remember that many lines from ANY movie, much less a Star Wars movie. Kudos to you, good Sir!!
I heard Plagueis was heavily into Abba, to the point where it was really interfering with work. So the story goes, Plagy(that's what they called him) went allll " everything that has happened has done so according to my design" and s*** like that, in the middle of getting his narrow head chopped off by Darth Bumbledick. It was epic.
I know this is a question that isn’t really about plagueis but more darth maul. do we know why mail in the clone wars didn’t go back to his saber staff? i was rewatching the clone wars and thought about it? didn’t he train with it? he would have to change his fighting style to do so?
If the Acolyte was to make a return and lead directly up to the beginning of the phantom Menace it would be nice to see what is being said here to actually be seen...live action
I just watched clone wars movie and I think it would be awesome if you would do a theory on what if Boba Fett went with count Douku on Geonosis after Jango died and trained with him
Why would the Darkside suddenly advise Darth Sidious to kill Darth Plageuis if Darthe Bane didnt approve of such a cowardly way of killing your master?
Idk if I’d say Plagueis was “alive and well” during TPM lol he was living on a respirator and had to consume through his nose Alive? Yes. Well? I don’t think so lol
I kind of wish we would've gotten just a little but of Plagueis in episode 1 of this 6 movie series. I'm glad they never made another movie after Return!

rule of two is open to interpretation and circumvention whenever a sith wishes
Maul was never a true with apprentice he was a sith assassin there is a big difference between the 2 roles
This was definitely addressed in the book.
The rule of two was not broken because Maul was not considered a Sith. He was a force sensitive assassin who would be filled in on the Master Plan.
Maul actually revealed the Grand Plan to a force sensitive user who he was supposed to kill. Sideous exiled him for a time for doing so.
This is really intriguing. I wish they would make more about Plagaus but knowing Disney they probably never will.
The Hundred Year Darkness and the Lettow War.
That is the Second and First Great Schisms.
Man, I would've gladly given up the pod race sequence or even and finale battle sequence to try some of this in the movie.
I’ll never forgive Disney for not following through JJ Abram’s plan to reveal snoke as plagueis
What was the fate of Zannah and Cognus? Do you believe Bane's essence transfer was even partially successful?
yes, toward the end of the book Darth Bane was suffering from some neurodegenerative condition which he flexed his left hand to keep if from locking up. the very last thing in the novel shows Darth Zanna standing there and it saying her left hand slightly flexed.

You could tell Plagueis was afraid of paying child support to Shmi
Sidious, for a brief moment became Darth Buzz Killington
Y'know, I like the idea that the Living Force pushed back against Plagueis and Sideous' attempts and conceived Annikin rather than the other theory.
Exactly
It was Senator Pax Teem that put Darth Plagueis in the mask.

This is really interesting ❤
No Plagueis became cocky. The novel said he called on the Force like a storm. Then he stopped. Although he could revive his test subjects from death, he wanted to see if he could do the same to himself.
This is great! :D Really great. We can imagine everything. I think KOTOR era is excellent. May the Force be with you too😊
Can we get full story about Jaina Solo?
Seems he was not wise enough to drink responsibly
Good content
Love the videos
My question is, if Plagueis was around during the Phantom Menace, what happens to the rule of two since Darth Maul is in the picture as well?
It was Senator Pax Teem who hired the Maladins who severely injured Darth Plagueis. King Veruna nuked Sojurn, but Plagueis was warned by Jabba and he got off the planet unscathed. He then sent a holo message to Veruna which made him vacate the throne. Then Plagueis got his revenge on Naboo.
I remember when Yoda told Anakin to be mindful of his visions, as trying to avoid them he could be stepping into them.
Maybe Qui-gon could have raised Anakin better, or by doing so taking him out would be more damaging than letting Obiwan train him.
But this is just speculation, what I find interesting, is that maybe Plaigues accidentally set the Sith demise.
Wave - Can you please cover how a Jedi or Sith Temple is created? Also, is there any Grey Jedi or Dark Jedi during the years of Anakin and Luke Skywalker ?
Can you do more of the ancient Sith.
Especially Sith sorcery and why it lost favor in the Rule of Two.
Thanks
If there's a 'glass is half-full' aspect to "The Acolyte," it's that it caused me to read "Plaguis." Well, it was an audiobook, so listened to. It was really good. I started the books with (i forget their name) aliens from another galaxy that have a Hellraiser Cenobite thing going on, but i got bored halfway through the first book.
Plagueis is easily the best SW book in my opinion. It's kinda crazy how good it is
The Yuuzhan Vong
@@remc0s yeah them.
This would have been an interesting sub plot to the phantom menace, as well as set up dooku
Obviously Lucas never meant to have plaguis as a contemporary of Palpatine, since the latter tells Anakin if he knows the "legend"of Plagueis.
"Did you ever hear the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise?" . . .
"No"
"I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a sith legend."
@@Ravenfanatic5
I'm listening . . .
@frenzalrhomb6919 "Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the sith. So powerful and so wise. He could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side. He could even keep the ones he cared about from dying."
"He could actually save people from death?"
"The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some considered to be unnatural."
"What happened to him?"
"He became so powerful. The only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."
"Is it possible to learn this power?"
"Not from a Jedi."

Thank you very, very much. Did you do that from memory alone? I remembered only about a quarter or so of that short piece of the script, but I don't think I can remember that many lines from ANY movie, much less a Star Wars movie. Kudos to you, good Sir!!
@frenzalrhomb6919 you're welcome. Yea that was memory. Seeing Revenge Of the Sith so much lol
I remember when Palps said he could create life, I thought maybe that Plageus "Force Banged" Shmi, and is Anakins "Father"
Plagueis was willingly ignorant towards Sidous. Plagueis let his guard down and Sidous was a coward to attack when his master was drunk.
Plagueis is the phantom menace.
I heard Plagueis was heavily into Abba, to the point where it was really interfering with work. So the story goes, Plagy(that's what they called him) went allll " everything that has happened has done so according to my design" and s*** like that, in the middle of getting his narrow head chopped off by Darth Bumbledick. It was epic.
We need more of the ancient tales
Thanks for telling the true story of Darth Plagueis the wise.
It’s a shame that the book not actually canon anymore. Officially, the evidence points to plagueis being dead during the phantom menace.
My fave star wars book
In retrospect, maybe they should have set up the witches on dothmir. Im too old to be thinking about this lol
what was dooku opinion of plaguis if any?
One of my favorite books
Darth Plagueis is a great novel. The audiobook version is really good too.
I know this is a question that isn’t really about plagueis but more darth maul. do we know why mail in the clone wars didn’t go back to his saber staff? i was rewatching the clone wars and thought about it? didn’t he train with it? he would have to change his fighting style to do so?
Palpatine in the preview image looks like Kyle Mooney.
You mentioned a possible theory of Tulak Hord being Ajunta’s apprentice in a prior video. Could you explain that more?
If the Acolyte was to make a return and lead directly up to the beginning of the phantom Menace it would be nice to see what is being said here to actually be seen...live action
I just watched clone wars movie and I think it would be awesome if you would do a theory on what if Boba Fett went with count Douku on Geonosis after Jango died and trained with him
Are we ever going to see Plagueis in any future Star Wars Movies or tv shows?
Cool and fascinating.
Why would the Darkside suddenly advise Darth Sidious to kill Darth Plageuis if Darthe Bane didnt approve of such a cowardly way of killing your master?
Maybe Plagueis was killed so easily as he was high on death sticks, the death stick guy just got him hooked , hence why palp could kill him so easily.
What if Plagueis was killed a decade after Phantom Menace? Or what if Plagueis was killed after the Clone Wars?
Idk if I’d say Plagueis was “alive and well” during TPM lol he was living on a respirator and had to consume through his nose
Alive? Yes. Well? I don’t think so lol
I've always wondered that Padawan's would model their light sabers on thier masters why Qui-gon Jinn never had one with a hilt like Dooko?
And her I thought he was in line at Kmart the whole time
I kind of wish we would've gotten just a little but of Plagueis in episode 1 of this 6 movie series. I'm glad they never made another movie after Return!
Makes you wonder who would win the actual fight had Plagueis not been wasted.
Every time I scroll past this video I think it’s Simon Pegg in the thumbnail
So, what form did Darth Binks prefer to use?
I'd say drunken master style
Cool wish that book is adapted to a single season event on d plus or movie. Should it be live action or animated?
Good thing Anakin had his doctorate in Darth Plagiuos the wise studies
Correct me if I’m wrong it was not Veruna, who put Hego, in the mask it was some one else 🤔🤔🤔
Impotence is as does. Yes Palpatine YOU .
"with whom he had a conversation" or "whom he had a conversation with"
not "with whom he had a conversation with"
Would like to know about the ancient Homeworld of the Jedi oh-sis
