There is literally ANOTHER SITH just off-screen here

During The Phantom Menace, when Palpatine meets with Darth Maul, there is literally a Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis, hiding just off-screen within Palpatine's balcony.

Why the Outer Rim Sieges were a bloody meat-grinder:

Correction, there was another sith lord watching over Plageius and the other 2. This mystery sith lord was unidentified but was whispering to himself "messa so smarty, theysa never seen messa bombad planning coming" who do you think this secret sith lord is???

Darth Plageius is hands down the best Star Wars novel I’ve ever read. I’d love to see it get adapted to live action.

The Darth Plagueis novel sure made me look differently on Ep. I and the other two Prequels as a whole... which made them better in return.

Even as a kid seeing ROTS I had a feeling Sidious was the apprentice who killed Plageuis in his sleep but tried to pass the story up as "a Sith Legend" to Anakin as part of his sowing of deception and doubt in Anakin's mind. Well, I guess it was obvious when Palpy reflects on it with his famous "Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

I'm reading Darth Plagueis right now and oh my God, it is so good.

Definitely one of, if not the best Star Wars novel ever written. It provides such an incredible dive into the history and philosophy of the Sith, as well as Palpatine's training and rise.

The whole manner in which Luceno brings Nietzchienism and Machiavellianism to explain what they Sith stand for.

And then on top of that, it blends political intrigue as Plagueis and Palpatinenplay their games to get the Sith into power.

And then on top of THAT, the book brings in so many references, nods, and cameos of other parts of Star Wars lore and stories, it's insane. It connects Old Republic, Prequels, Clone Wars, and Galactic Civil War lore in such an amazing way. It's the Prequel to the Prequels.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. 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 that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. 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. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself

I honestly had no idea Plagueis was alive in the prequel era, I always assumed he'd been killed when Palpatine was a younger man

[drpbb]

I remember the first time I saw ROTJ. My father asked my how I liked it. I told I don’t understand why everyone loves Vader. The emperor is the man and I really wish we knew more about him.
Plagueis to me as well is the best SW book.

Plagueis is busy finishing up that pizza they ordered and watching the latest podracing updates

Back in 1999 I thought the sith lord shown here (palpatine) is not the emperor from episode 6 but his master, because he was voiced by a completly different voice actor in the german dub. I also thought that sith-masters just all look like that, old guy with a black robe.

In Maul: Lockdown, Maul is sent to find an arms dealer in a prison to buy a nuclear weapon to hand over to the Bando Gora gang. This gang uses said weapon to attack Plaguis' moon of Sojourn in the Plaguis novel. Maul: Shadowhunter also took place in Plaguis, but the events of that book were summed up within a relatively short portion of Plaguis

I just remember Palpatine's first evil act in the novel was slaughtering his family. Pretty brutal

[kianrodriguez]

I love how the story for Darth Plagueis The Wise is reflected at the end of Return of the Jedi (although the roles are switched), the apprentice kills the master and while he (Vader) could save others, he couldn't save himself. It's like poetry, it rhymes

[aamirrazak]

I loved Darth Plageuis, it was a fantastic novel which worked so well w the prequels and rest of the EU. Would’ve been so awesome to see a glimpse of Plageuis on Coruscant in TPM since iirc, he was alive until maul died

[ItsAnIsaac]

I guess it should really be called “the suggestion of two”

[butitsminecraft]

The reason Luke didn’t go to the dark side was because he didn’t hear this banger of a story.

[sarahcook]

I will always love this book because of how much depth it added to Palpatine and how much it humanized him.

[brad]

One of the things I personally loved about this book is that as great as it is on its own merits, it also serves to organize the events around Episode I into a way that enhances the overall story of the prequels, in my opinion. I would love to see this novel made canon.

If Episode IX had balls it would’ve brought back Plagueis
