Chronicle Supposing Books Darth Plagueis (Star Wars Legends)

“Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise that he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.”
—Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith

Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived. Possessing power is all he desires. Losing it is the only thing he fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. And when the time is right, he destroys his Master--but vows never to suffer the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power . . . over life and death.

Darth Sidious: Plagueis’s chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith, while publicly rising to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.

Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination--and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books Darth Plagueis (Star Wars Legends)

Misleading, the Dark Side of the Force, is. This is a novel (part of what is known nowadays as "Legends" in the Star Wars novel series, in other words, non-canonical anymore) featuring the events of the life of Darth Plagueis and his apprentice Darth Sidious. DECEITFUL TITLE Honestly, it was odd that the book was titled Darth Plagueis since while indeed the events begin with him as "main character", once Palpatine (eventually aka Darth Sidious) comes into the story, Plagueis got less and less

The problem is I read the premise, looked at the cover, and watched the scene from Revenge of the Sith where Palpatine tells the story of Darth Plagueis and I had a different story in my head than what this turned out to be. I'd imagined this book following Darth Plagueis as he traveled to ancient Sith ruins and played 'Frankenstein' on life forms and researched old dark side texts to uncover lost secrets of the force. There's some of that, but what we mostly get instead is a book about the

No true Sith cares about another.A worthy addition to the Expanded Universe. No, not four stars on any absolute scale of literary merit. (Is such a thing possible?) But certainly better conceived and executed than most Star Wars EU books. Star Wars: Darth Plagueis joins many threads from the EU into the canon of Star War orthodoxy (the movies).We stalk the Force like hunters, rather than surrender like prey to its enigmatic whims.Dont let the title fool you, this book is mostly about Palpatine

This may be controversial to those who think that Darth Plagueis heralded a glorious bright spot in the latter day of the Extended Universe but its not that great. True, it indeed raises itself above the morass of churned out, 200-pages-in-hardback, simply forgettable novels that were really plaguing the EU towards the end. Darth Plagueis is fresh and interesting and stands out enough that you wont forget which one it was. Its a genuinely decent read. Its just not a great read.After all these

"Star Wars: Darth Plagueis" for me is the biggest event in the saga since the release of Episode III. After years of waiting, this novel finally reveals the origins of the legendary Emperor Palpatine, as well as the legend of his master, Darth Plagueis the Wise. More important, it does it well. I know that many fans dislike the truth behind the mask of Darth Vader - that he once was a lovesick emotional teenager. I am not among them, but I can tell them - relax. Palpatine is as evil as a man can

I realize that this isn't officially canon anymore but this book has given me a newfound understanding and an entirely new outlook on the prequel trilogy. I won't see those movies in the same terrible light as I did before. I'm thoroughly impressed and will definately read more Star Wars novels, canon or not.

- This is a brilliant Star Wars novel which - as some of the story line is mentioned by Palpatine in Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith is now considered canon but also has elements that have now (thanks to Disney) been shifted into the legendary category (the vexed matter of what is canon!). No matter - this is a brilliant cracking story which focuses on how Palpatine was drawn to the Dark Side of the Force by his master Darth Plagueis to become the hooded Darth Sidious and doomed Emperor.
