Bro fr created a 3:30 long vid, by his 4 seconds of screentime?💀🔥

[iljoker]

It's truly a joy to finally see Darth Plagueis on screen. You created an edit that fully represents his point of view on the galaxy and what he taught Palpatine.

[filmfandom]

Masterful work, my friend! A simple cameo in the Acolyte transformed into such remarkable art! Even Plagueis' absence throughout the rest of the franchise can portray this powerful character so well lurking in the shadows of Sidious' memory. Amazing as always, mate!

[sergioandrescontreras]

I’m so glad you did this. Darth Plagueis is really terrifying. I’m looking forward to seeing him in future Star Wars stories.

[alejandroalonsom]

Plagueis was the only person who was able to manipulate Palpatine. And he never forgave him for it

[zackaryen]

Forgetting the Acolyte for a moment but when I saw ROTS as a kid in 2005 in theaters, the Opera scene and Palpatine talking about Plagueis was a mind-blowing moment. This Sith Lord was the Emperor's MASTER and apparently so powerful that the only way Palpatine could kill him, was when he was asleep. So how powerful was he, who was he?

And now, after almost 20 years, this is the first time we see Darth Plagueis in live-action and most likely not the last time. As a life long Star Wars fan, it's absolutely insane to finally see him on screen, and on top of that, his look is fucking spot-on. Great SW moment.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

[smally]

Man appears on screen for 5 seconds, and we get a video about him.

Not that I'm complaining

[lordbatfish]

Pulling lines straight out of the book, I love it

[antexrulerofdarkness]

I am SO HYPED for future Plagueis stuff that may be in the works! Also, I was SO happy to see this vid first thing in the morning when I woke up and went onto YT! Ya never disappoint @SWFT! Well done! 😊

One other thing, a quick quote from our illustrious Wise Sith: “Evil? What is that? Who gives more shape to sentient history? The good, who adhere to the tried and true? Or those who seek to rouse beings from their stupor, and lead them to glory?”

This was awesome. Really makes me want to see his story told.

[BeppyTurnip]

Darth Plagueis is my favorite Star Wars Character, so I greatly appreciate you making this video

[StannisMR]

Amazing edit!

Captures perfectly Plagueis's impact on the saga as a whole!

[vitaliiyakhno]

Somehow I can’t imagine plaguies voiced by another actor this man who made an audiobook is a true legend

[KGirls]

This is done so freaking well, just absolutely flawless! Great job, man. Still can't believe we finally got Darth Plagueis in live action!

[HouseSolo]

Well done on incorporating the audio books. I’ll be reading the Plagueis book after I read the current canon Thrawn trilogy!

[tomayto]

Rogue One is such a treasure. The destruction of Jedha is easily the most stunning sequence of special effects in star wars. The Death Star eclipsing the sun, the beam traveling down, and the mushroom cloud rising from the ground with the shockwaves radiating out, followed by the orbital view.

"Oh, it's... beautiful."

[JIGgameoverSAW]

Damn, i needed this edit!
Really hope they do Plagueis justice. It is a character that is being thought about for many years now.

[arminkemura]

This may be a unpopular opinion but Qimir proclaimed himself as an ”Acolyte” in the show, which means he is not the apprentice and Mae is nothing but another pawn just like him. Because Qimir is an acolyte, Mae is actually nothing but a Sith assassin. The reason Qimir is just an acolyte is because Plagueis is still the apprentice and Darth Tenebrous is alive. I think we’ll see the events of Plagueis killing Tenebrous unfold as he recruits Palpatine instead of Qimir for whatever reason. Thoughts?
