[StarWarsTheory]

would have been cool to see Plagueis in the film.

[EtherealBaconSandwich]

He wanted to tell Anakin about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise.

[ChoqueChuncus]

"Plagueis ran a hand over his forehead" surely that would take a few years...

[chandlerl]

Have you ever heard of the tragedy of the expanded universe?

It’s not a story disney would tell you.

[cmc]

Darth Plagueis walks into a bar. Bartender says "Why the long face?"

[mightylad]

I had no idea Plagueis was even alive during the Phantom Menace

[adrianislas]

“He spent the night in a room in Senator Palpatine’s apartment...”
I don’t like where this is going.

[Jedi_Spartan]

I just want to visualise that scene with Plagueis running through the Senate halls yelling "Where is he?!"

[MrJHorrordirector]

The real tragedy was not putting plagueis as the surprise villain in episode

[McBeardsQuaker]

Yes but have you heard of the legend Kit Fisto the green.

[SuperiorSquid]

Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Plegueis?
Yes, i met him myself
*end credit music*

[cvanims]

Darth Plagueis isn't a story that Disney would tell you.

[amaharra]

Palpatine didn't kill lord Plagueis. Plagueus killed himself when learned about Mickey Mouse making SW sequels

[garry]

Darth Mickey, The most powerful Sith Lord. Able to rewrite history with the stroke of a pen.

[anakinskywalker]

He looks creepy, hard to believe he wanted to meet me.

[dtwduuvaaall]

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!

[benfurlong]

Imagine the emperor saying I am ur father to anakin

[RunnJake]

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

[henripurnomo]

Plagueis was dead, Palpatine throw his head into Bikini Bottom, and his head become squidward's house

[thatkidakanolanplays]

Mickey Mouse: “This is not the Cannon you’re looking for.”
