if you would join us the question of what if Sith apprentice can overtake his
master and kill him is probably the biggest question that an apprentice ever
asks himself in his entire life an apprentice has an incentive to not kill
his master too early because if he does then he won't be able to learn the
knowledge that his master took to the grave but if an apprentice waits too
long to kill his master then precious timers wasted progress has slowed and
the master may even replaced the apprentice with another from the
beginning Darth Sidious like other apprentices always intended to kill his
master in the legends book Darth Plagueis Palpatine was plagued as his
apprentice for many decades until the night that he was elected Supreme
Chancellor when he finally killed him what finally convinced cities that it
was time to pull the trigger why did he decide that he had learned all he could
from his master at that moment we get a glimpse of Palpatine's decision during a
visit to plague as his personal moon of sojourn it was shortly after an
assassination attempt against Plagueis so he went there to heal and now rarely
ever left the moon it was here that plague has spent nearly all his time
devoted to his life's passion of figuring out how to cheat death through
the force Plagueis actually left so rarely that many people assumed he was
dead even Sidious barely saw him going years only speaking to Plagueis by a
hollow during this time Palpatine basically trained himself visited
several sethe worlds and spent considerable time studying the Sith
texts and holocrons he also trained Maul in secret on Mustafar tossed and/or
psious so when Palpatine finally visits Plagueis on sojourn he promptly isn't
surprised by what he finds he finds the living quarters in shambles some of the
experimental subjects dead in their cages or cells and many of the droids
malfunctioning creatures from the surrounding real forests have invaded
and taken up residence in the place making nests in the turrets and
devouring anything edible while Plagueis unwashed emaciated erratic in his
behavior that his droid give all orders to the guards at one point the guards
had been ordered to install more than 200 hauler projectors and what had been
the fort's armory so that Plagueis could both monitor current events and immerse
himself in historical recordings some of which dated back hundreds of years
basically Plagueis was a recluse beyond what Bruce Wayne becomes in The Dark
Knight Rises it's easy to see why Palpatine would see this as a weakness
not only his Plagueis not training his apprentice anymore but he seems to be
wasting away and becoming crazy and his solitude he's so obsessed with learning
about the midi-chlorians that he had forgotten about the grand plan and the
Revenge of the Sith the temptation to kill his master is clearer and clearer
than it's ever been but Cydia still doubts whether he had
truly learned all of Darth Plagueis secrets in the book it says Sidious knew
that his own powers had increased tenfold over the decades but he couldn't
be certain he had learned all of Plagueis secrets his sorcerers ways as
Plagueis as guards refer to them including the ability to prevent beings
from dying city is sometimes wondered was he a level behind two levels behind
such questions were precisely what had driven generations of Sith apprentices
ultimately to challenge their masters the uncertainty about who was the more
powerful that's what it was all about the need to test themselves to face the
definitive trial the temptation to take the mantle by force to put one's own
spin on the power of the dark side there seemed to be a mutual uncertainty
between both of the Sith Lords too since neither Sidious nor Plagueis made any
move against one another arguably Plagueis needed Palpatine more since the
grand plan was largely left to Sidious while Plagueis brought the manipulation
of midi-chlorians the night that Sidious is elected Supreme Chancellor and
Plagueis comes out of hiding Sidious finally kills his master now
that he was Supreme Chancellor cities no longer needed the backing of his master
and by then he had reasoned that Plagueis either didn't know how to cheat
death or would never teach him but he guessed that if he did not know how to
do it then the power would be made manifest during the assassination
attempt but when Plagueis died it became clear
to Palpatine that he may never have known how to cheat death in the first
place again since the book Darth Plagueis is legends all of this can
change in the new Canon so what do you guys think about Plagueis becoming a
hermit in his search for immortality kind of seems like a constant theme in
Star Wars Yoda obi-wan and Plagueis does it fit with what your image is of Darth
Plagueis the wise if it doesn't perhaps that's why cities felt it was time to
kill him since he no longer felt the mold of a Sith Lord let me know what you
