Relation 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?

I have the feeling that I liked "Darth Plagueis" by James Luceno more than the average Star Wars fan would...and more than any of the reviews I read online before purchasing this book. Why? Deep down, I feel much more like a Sith (and, hey, why not a Dark Lord of the Sith...might as well dream big) than a Jedi most of the time and this book is a chronicle of the rise of Palpatine a.k.a. Darth Sidious as well as the story of Darth Plagueis (with a bit of Darth Maul and Count Dooku and a dash ofNo 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
"sentient life is meant to evolve, not simply languish in contended stasis"NOTE: I received this book from the Amazon Vine Program.The time has come for the Sith to reveal themselves, to step away from the Rule of Two setup by Darth Bane many years ago. Darth Plagueis emerges and, with the assistance of his apprentice, Darth Sidious, begins the final steps to the destruction of the Republic and the Jedi.I have some wonderful news! After SIX MONTHS of reading this book, I have finally finished
A prequel to the prequels. That's the description to this book. James Luceno does a good job at creating the character of Darth Sidious that is in the movies through his life and how the whole entire movies started. It's great to see how everything becomes connected between the prequel movies and the original trilogy. How the whole Sith plan was furnished on two of the most powerful beings in the galaxy. I'm glad that George Lucas had approved of the backstory of Plagueis in this book. The last
Darth Pelagueis is one of the most elusive characters in Star Wars. Other than this book, theres just not much information about him to be found. So I expected so much from it and, ultimately, all my expectations were shattered. This is not the dark lord of the Sith I imagined. The Phantom Menace is an absolutely dreadful film. Im not speculating here, critically speaking, this is a fact. There are so many things wrong with it. Why George Lucas felt the need to quantify the force is beyond me.
"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
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
