I know right😂😂

Great line

God tier line to use on the last day of school

It's a pity that Daniel Davis didn't read more EU audiobooks.

If you killed someone like your master that’s has all the death side energy. That power goes to you meaning . This if death Vader sidous he be 10 times more powerful

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8ekfN2i3KiWlHU.html Christ died for your sins and rose on the third day, showing that anyone who trusts in him for salvation, will have everlasting life. (John 11:25-26) "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Did you ever watch the sitcom The Nanny? Yeah, the narrator here is Niles, the butler from that show. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNCqa7Z5ksraZnk.html

@@benjaminhopley3045 I don't think that's the case. You just are smarter because you outsmarted your master and hopefully have their secrets. If that really was the case, they would have easily have defeated the Jedi. The Sith Master/Apprentice structure is learning and pushing each other as the master has to make sure he stays unattainable to be defeated by the student while also training him to do so. Sidious cheated Vader of this after Vader lost to Obi, tried to find new apprentices against him, and challenged him to get out of his depression and turn it more into anger.

True...Bitterness is for the shallow minded.. Even Plagueis master, Darth Tenebrous died happily when he realize that his apprentice orchestrated his death....

@@markfourtwenty9897 Was he happy? I thought he was angry at Plagueis for putting the Sith plan at risk by killing him.

@@eliminator1472 Angry??? Plan??? those are puny reasons because Apprentices are always meant to kill their masters once they grew more powerful.. That is why Darth Bane created the Rule of Two so that the Sith can turn the inevitable into their advantage "It is inevitable, it is the way of the Darkside" -Darth Bane

@@eliminator1472 Tenebrous was angry.

Now reading this comment again. I don't know. I think he would have lost his thought of mind soon after he realized he wasn't gonna live. He was most likely in a state of panic and rage.

This is the Way.

Nothing has really contradicted it so far so it might as well be

Damn straight

Absolutely. And the narrator, Daniel Davis, is brilliant. He is the actor who played Professor Moriarty in 2 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Yea til filoni makes an animated series on it and completely retcons it I love filoni and everything he makes but I specifically bought ahsoka because she’s his child and for him to completely negate her story like that in a 15 min section cartoon made me understand to never buy a “canon” novel again

It's also ironic that Palpatine himself would die in pretty similar fashion. So "drunk" on the power of the Dark Side while he was torturing Luke that he couldn't sense Anakin's betrayal coming.

@@82dorrin Now I'm imagining Sidious carrying a wine bottle where he drinks and electrocute Luke at the same time.

​@@EmperorRadiationEmpirethis sounds like something robot chicken would make lol.

Its also shameful, because he didn't challenge Plagueis at his best, like Bane prescribed. He waited until old age, lingering wounds and complacency made him vulnerable. Sidious did not exalt his mastery beyond any shadow of a doubt, he was still so afraid of his master that he needed to wait for an opportunity.

@@KaiserAfini Yeah. Then again, all three Sith lords in the novel, from Tenebrous onward, played rather fast-and-loose with the Rule of Two, as I recall. I doubt Bane would've approved of it.

Luke skywalker grandfather lives lord Vader father behide everything not palpatine soon everyone going see truth

It was a display case for the Sith's ultimate prize, The Chosen One as a still-living corpse.

@@LTDLimiTeD1995 that goes hard wth

@@safndaf9355 I can't take credit, I'm paraphrasing a line in the RotS Novelization xD

@@LTDLimiTeD1995 damn it's a cool line though. That novel is really something

Yea he could heal him but the damage was already done his limbs were gone and so a large portion of his connection to the force

In the book Sidious didn't actually plan to kill him until years into apprentice ship. He needed to learn from him first

@@jackqtvsstuff715 Yeah, I've been listening to the book for 3 days now, It's very interesting

@@jackqtvsstuff715 For awhile, it _did_ seem like Sidious wanted to execute Plagueis' plan so they could achieve immortality and rule the galaxy together. To me, that's one of the most interesting things about the Plagueis novel. You see Palpatine's beliefs change over time.

I absolutely LOVED Palpatine's arc and character portrayal in this book. Luceno actually _did_ humanize Palpatine, even added a touch of tragedy to his character (he was basically born to be a monster), but did it in a way that did NOT make him sympathetic.

Bigger twist. Plagueis' body is a puppet. Jar Jar is the real Plagueis!

I was going to give this a like until I saw the number 66.

Agreed.

Canon*

I also hope it becomes canon. This is my favorite book ever.

It nearly is, with bits being quoted in the (canon) novel Tarkin, by same author.

"By the Force!! Even when he's murdering me, this guy won't SHUT UP!!!" -Dath Plagueis' thoughts as he's getting killed.

It's fiction!!! In the end everything becomes public domain. If it's canon for you, it's canon for you.

@@charlesyang8146 they're talking about a TV Show

True

"I hope he doesn't get into my cloning lab."

"will you shut up man"

His brain is already scrambled so he probably doesn’t think anything

Except Darth Sidious threw out the rule of two, after "winning" the war, and tried to make himself immortal - thereby dooming the sith in the end. For better or worse.

@@131313chemistry Except, even before taking Sidious in the fold , Plaguies himself indicated that the main purpose of the rule was no longer applicable. It's ancillary purpose of course, that of preventing infighting by limiting the number of Dark Lords to two is still valid.

No, Bane wanted the apprentice to challenge the master flat out strength to strength. That's why he went for the holocron of Darth Andedu, he was afraid that Zannah would just wait until he was to old to fight back. Bane would consider Plagueis weak, yes. He would also hate Sidious for cheating and possibly being the weaker Sith.

@@darthbane3937 Yet Bane deemed patience and cunning to be the best tools for a Sith. he's behavior with Zannah is contradictory he already knew she was stronger than him in the force.

@@blackeagle041 Strength in the Force does not mean you could win. If Palps was an idiot, it wouldn't matter how strong he was. Now if she prepared some trap on the battlefield and held back a skill until the right moment, that is cunning. Bane wanted the title wrenched away from the master in battle. Yes, that is flawed because as the Plagueis novel flat out says, most Sith weren't willing to lay down and die in battle then train another so they could do the same. He lambasted Kaan for thinking of the greater good but Bane was almost Jedi, wanting to die if he was to weak. In a way I can see why. Marshal skills are still important. Sidious was one of the best with the lightsaber and Force but how much better could he have been with years of combat experience or at least the satisfaction of killing Plagueis in a fight. Think about it. Sidious's first battle with a Jedi master was with Windu and the gang. Maybe unrecorded, he dispatched a knight or 2 but not much more than that. Maul was powerful but not as much as Sidious. As Rex said to Ahsoka experience outranks everything. In the political arena, Palps is a grand master but in a fight, master at best. Other Jedi don't have the chance to regularly fight with Force users either like in the Sith Wars. In that way, they are all somewhat novice with Sidious's power and interlect seeing him through. If he'd fought in the Force wars, he would've been even more powerful.

I love all of James Luceno's Star Wars books, my favorites are this one and Tarkin

1000% correct!

Everythingin the expanded universo is Infinity Best than Disney creations

@@shadow-qp2ns Definity, Andor, Rogue one and Mando possibly the exception.

I mean he got a clean slate to write Sideous’s back story…

He didn't listen And got thrown for It 😂

As Kenobi would say, that is a short-sighted point of view. If we give up our morals, even for victory, we may risk losing what is most precious, our honor. The Jedi lost their honor, and thus the allegiance of the force, because they were no longer Jedi. Palpatine could have won in the end, but only if he "zapped" Vader before Luke. As for Plagueis, well, he either intended for Sidious to destroy him or lost his way with the dark side, as many Sith Masters do.

@@dustinrowley7665 i think the reason Plagueis was unsuspecting is because his master crippled him and his force vision before be died.

@@dustinrowley7665 I think the force will submit to luke tho because luke is not trapped by the dogma of the jedi nor the insanity of the sith. He threw himself at his father's and the force's mercy and trusted it. Disney seems to keen to rewrite that but screw them.. there Satanist/sith phycophants. Luke possibly the strongest force user ever. Probably could of beaten Sidious at both their peaks.

Yes! The dark side, the light…they’re just self reflected manifestations of a more unified, ubiquitous and indifferent constant! The force has no allegiances or sides or preferences. It is anything and EVERYTHING there is.

Yep! I’d say THE best. I wonder if he will write another or if he is done. Disney canon is so inferior though.

@@wesrm1 Yeah, "Tarkin" was good novel but I always wonder how he would have written it had Disney no changed the canon.

@@rippingtons60 It didn’t affect it. Tarkin takes place between the two trilogies before they had done much in that time frame. There was only one season of Rebels at that point.

Yeah they definitely do.

Really… I get farming for likes but you really advocating for giving this to Disney lol

@@CoercedJab Dude I would be thrilled if they made this a show. But it would be 18+

Yeah but I think Disney would ruin it.

​@@CoercedJab No, wrest control of this franchise from the rat first

Sidious really wanted to savour the moment.

I think because everything in that one was true. It also showed what Plagueis could have accomplished years down the line. He could've either told a Jedi's midi-chlorians to scram or cut him off from the Force since midi-chlorians serve as intermediaries. He could've made some Jedi his slaves with the mind powers like he did that yinchorri given time. Sidious wanted to know why Plagueis thought he would be needed. Ommm because I promised to make you immortal without you having to rely on essence transfer, that's why you needed me.

I wonder how the empire would have been run under Plagueis instead of Palpatine

@@SlashinatorZ Plagueis would probably be similar to Sidious but probably somewhat less chaotic.

Plagueis would have remained an even more reclusive hermit perusing his immortality without distraction.

@@nathanstice8456 I think he would've found a way to kill Anakin Skywalker. He would probably use Dooku to carry out the final stages of the grand plan. He would have the droids and clones turn on the Jedi, and make it seem like the Jedi are the true threat to peace in the galaxy. He could then install Dooku as his puppet emperor. He would then use his vast wealth to develop a planet-killing weapon. I think he would be much more cautious than Sidious. He would only reveal the weapon when his power was truly threatened. Plageuis would essentially be an immortal dark lord ruling from the shadows, similar to vitiate. I suppose the force would find a way to return balance to the force by creating another being with an extremely high midiclorian count.

I hope tales of the Jedi portrays the death of Plagueis

unfortunately not only did it not show that, it made a decent chunk of this book unable to be canonized without rewriting quite a bit of it.

It was too good not too!

Are these traits appealing to you then?

Another reason the sequels will *NEVER* be great.

I would only like him to Narrate Sidious but the narrator did An absolute phenominal job with Sidious.

@@jackqtvsstuff715 his performance reminds me of the palpatine voice actor from the old clone wars show

@@jackqtvsstuff715 Not to mention, this narrator does a great Plagueis voice.

Or just this one scene would be enough.

Tales of the Jedi could make an episode about Plagueis

nope, lucas kinda hated the EU. what THIS proves is that a lack of lucas is not the reason the new stuff fails. it's trying too hard to BE lucas's star wars.

@@pathevermore3683 lucas didn't really hate the EU he said they are separate to the Canon films

@@ringe1008 you've never seen his opinion on mara jade.

He took inspiration from the EU and obviously vice versa, but you can't say it was "Lucas' Star Wars", he didn't write most of those books and had nothing to do with the storyline, even if he knew abt some of the content. He was very involved w the clone wars stuff during the prequels, but all the old Grandmaster Luke era stuff had almost nothing to do with George Lucas

@@pathevermore3683 You mean that he disagreed with Luke getting Married as a Jedi, and having a family? Lol, your implication is too hyperbolic when compared to the reality.

Yeah it is pretty goofy but Star Wars is a space opera so it's alright

That was your interpretation.

​@@wesrm1I think it's a pretty reasonable one based on the scene But it's a bit boring if you're a novel writer telling a dialog-driven story

@@sulljoh1 But you’re reading a novel so why wouldn’t you want a man in-depth, masterful prose scene? Anyway, Palpatine didn’t say he killed him in his sleep.

@@wesrm1 I like the novel and admire James Luceno as a writer. I read many of his books! But this book screws up too many plot points from the movies. Palpatine DID say that his master was killed in his sleep. Yoda did say there were only two sith. Etc. James could have worked harder to make a story that didn't disrupt existing concepts IMHO.

It says in the book that Plagueis was challenging Sidious. He was also drunk so he probably wasn't in the state of mind to think any of that sort of thing

I'd imagine he was probably just terrified with facing his death. The one thing he feared more than anything. Losing his power and dying into nothingness.

@@matthewharrison2317 well, that is what all Sith feared. Most of them, anyway

I think he was proud, like it was always his endgame, perhaps the essence of plaugis never actually left palpatine.

Tales of the Jedi could arrange that

I would love this novel adapted to the screen. In your opinion, which way would be better, a show or a movie?

@@an-animal-lover Tales of the Jedi style adaptation called Tales of the Sith, but 20+ minute episodes. One arc would focus on the young Palpatine and his rise to power from his young days on Naboo, when he killed his entire family and became Plagueis' apprentice, when he stole Maul from Mother Talzin and trained him, when he killed Plagueis, something from during the clone wars, during the Empire era and if they gotta add something from the sequels, add some stuff when he moved his spirit to Exegol and had his "son" cloned, who was the father to Rey

Eh I mean just the dumb oh palpatine and plagueis kinda having something to do with anakins conception or palpatine knowing how to do what plagueis can do with the midichloriones

Sidious dropped his guard with vader and luke because Sidious got so distracted torturing Luke. the Darkside betrayed him because he loved it so much.

@@kieranforde3787 True but underestimating someone ability to change their moral ways is different than underestimating someone's power out of hubris i still think it was a grave error since he got vader into the darkside due to his love for padme and potential familly He should of known he would do anything to have that But then again Vader did commit mass Genocides that would be make hitler gawk over the span of 30 years non stop

@@inyalgaico1563 ok but what is your point exactly?

@@wesrm1 oh

Same

I wouldn't have had an issue with it had it been thoughtfully executed. The entire trilogy was disorganized. For them to unexpectedly bring back one of the most important characters in SW during the opening credits of thr final film is absolutely ridiculous to me. It then seemed like they ran out of true villains and story so they had to just push him in there. To bring back the greatest of the sith Lords that way then to kill him in as basic a death as possible was silly. That last movie was the worst SW film imo.
