The hate definitely went both ways between Palpatine and the ancient Sith

While at the same time I do believe that Sidious was one of the most powerful the modern Sith and certainly the most knowledgeable, Luke was spot on when he was brought before the Emperor and told him, 'your overconfidence is your weakness.'
Sidious could not accept the idea that he would fail. He intellectually saw ways he could be challenged or circumvented and worked to ensure that they would be rendered powerless or destroyed. Going after Maul and Savage Opress and later, Windu and the Jedi Masters.
But what he couldn't or rather, I believe, wouldn't see was random chance! He completely believed that he was destined to win!

plagius feels more like a strict dad to palms then a real villain that wants to take over the galaxy

i will always say that Sideuis broke the rule of two completely with the way he killed Plagueis with poison, Bane was VERY clear about that with his apprentice. The Sith must use every trick in the book to beat the Jedi but the contest between the Master and Apprentice MUST be taken by force. You have to prove you can beat your Master to ensure that you are stronger so the Sith will always continue to grow stronger. Imo its why Sideous fails in the end

It was a good idea for Plagueis to have Palpatine make his own way in the Dark Side as a way to make the Sith Grand Plan work. What wasn't a good idea was not letting him at least learn more about them so he can learn from their mistakes. After all, as the saying goes "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

When the blade-master Kas'im was training Bane in the mastery of the lightsaber sequences, Bane had asked if the double bladed lightsaber gave an advantage:
“Does the double-bladed lightsaber give you an advantage?” he asked.

“It does, but not in the way you believe, ” Kas’im replied.

Bane was silent, waiting patiently for further explanation. After a few seconds his Master obliged him.

“As you already know, the Force is the real key to victory in any confrontation. However, the equation is not so simple. Someone well trained in lightsaber combat can defeat an opponent who is stronger in the Force. The Force allows you to anticipate your opponent’s moves and counter them with your own. But the more options your foe has available, the more difficult it is to predict which will be chosen.”

Bane thought he understood. “So the double-bladed weapon gives you more options?”

“No, ” Kas’im replied. “But you think it does, so the effect is the same.”
...
“By telling me this secret, you’ve given up your advantage, ” Bane noted, smiling as he pointed to Kas’im’s double saber.

“Only to a very small degree, ” the Twi’lek said. “You now understand why an exotic weapon or unfamiliar style will be more difficult to defend against, but until you become an expert in a particular style, in the heat of combat your mind will still struggle to grasp its limitations.”

Bane kept pressing, eager to turn this new insight into something practical he could use. “So by studying different styles, I could negate that advantage?”

“In theory. But time spent studying other styles is time away from mastering your own form. Your best progress will come from focusing more on yourself and less on your opponent.”

Lucasfilm should show us why Plagues was so wise. How there was no death. Only the darkside.

[BlueSniper-nvtx]

Palpatine: the dude hates everybody. I'm surprised he doesn't hate himself.

[richv]

It was wise to keep Siddious from learning the ancient sith knowledge as it kept Siddious from making the very mistakes they made, which is why they failed consistently.

[Gor]

This is smart of Plagueis. He wanted Sidious to follow his path. His thoughts. To think independently, creative. Like any good teacher should. Our professors at librarianship did this. Great video. See you soon in the archives. May the Force be with you too

Did Grievous's backstory and Plagueis had to make fun of banking families 😂 I now understand why Grievous was retconned, it hit too close to home for new owners.

[EdwardVelez]

What song or theme is playing? I hear it in every video, but have no clue what it is

[daniels]

Sidious did violate the Rule of Two in taking Maul as an apprentice when he himself was still one. He would further bend the rules with his Inquisitors. Like any good politician, he played a game of semantics and held that they weren't "true" Sith.

[justsimplydeegaming]

I want to know does bode have the same ability as sidious

[shadowlord]

Plagus definitely a terrible person.

Still almost makes me feel bad for him.

Can you do a video on the history on the Noble House of Palpatine ?

Does anyone know where the artwork at 4:40 came from?
