Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith
so powerful and so wise
he could use the force to influence the Midi-chlorians
to create life
In the Phantom menace, slightly before Darth Maul's death, Palpatine killed his master.
Now I've done many videos on Plagueis and his role with Palpatine, so I won't go into that for this video.
Rather, today we will go over the novelization of just exactly how Palpatine killed his master,
what he saw, and his entire dialogue with him as he died.
It gets pretty dark.
Let's dive straight into the Legends book Darth Plagueis by James Luciano.
This video is long, but it's really interesting and shows us a side of Palpatine we never got to really see before his rise to power,
how he was so conniving and numb to everyone but his own desire to become emperor and reach unlimited power.
Now, I will do my best impersonate Palpatine's voice, which is harder than his low raspy Sidious voice.
The scene we're about to enter takes place just after Palpatine and Plagueis retire...
to the Kaldani Spire suite to celebrate in their pre-victory of Palpatine becoming Chancellor tomorrow.
Palpatine fed his master bottles of wine until the Muun creature became so intoxicated he waved in and out of a drunken sleep.
All right, let's begin.
He grabbed the cloak he had draped over a chair.
Swirling it around himself, he started for the door only to stop shortly before he reached it.
Turning and stretching out with the force, he glanced around the room as one might to fix a memory in the mind.
Briefly his gaze fell on the droid. It's glowing photo-receptors whirring to regard him in evident curiosity.
A look of sinister purpose contorted Sidious' face.
Again his eyes darted around the room and the dark side whispered...
Your election assured the Sun Guards absent; Plagueis unsuspecting and asleep.
And he moved in a blur.
Crackling from his fingertips a web of blue lightning round itself on the Muun's breathing device.
Plagueis' eyes snapped open, the force gathering in him like a storm, but he stopped short defending himself.
This being who had survived assassinations and killed countless opponents merely gazed at Sidious...
until it struck him that Plagueis was challenging him.
Confident that he couldn't be killed and in denial that he was slowly suffocating...
he might have been simply experimenting with himself...
actually courting death to put it in its place
Momentarily taken aback, Sidious stood absolutely still.
Was Plagueis so self-deluded as to believe that he had achieved immortality?
The question lingered for only a moment, then Sidious unleashed another tangle of lightning, drawing more deeply on the dark side than he ever had.
"Let's go over the second part of the speech, shall we?" he said smoothing his tousled cloak.
"You useless old fool."
With a snarl he threw the cloak back behind his shoulders and leaned towards Plagueis...

I could retest your body to repair the damage already done to your lung of your hearts and your aged brain
But I'll do no such thing the idea here is not to drag you back in the last moment
But to bring you to Death's door and shove you through to the other side a tragedy really for one so wise
One one could oversee the lives and deaths of all beings
except himself
The Moon's eyes had began to bulge his pale flesh to turn cyanotic. You may be wondering. When did he begin to change?
The truth is that I haven't had changed as we have clouded the minds of the Jedi
I loaded euros never once did I have any intention of sharing an hour with you?
I needed to learn from you no more no less
To learn all of your secrets which I entrusted [you] would eventually reveal but what made you think that I?

I didn't know so many powers that remain just outside my reach and as it happened
I acted wisely in rescuing you otherwise, how could I be standing here and you?
Or even after all you talk
I might not have been able to take the final step [to] the chancellorship without your help and
Manipulating [consent] and bringing into play your various and sundry allies if it's any consolation
I'm being honest when I say that I could not have succeeded without you, but now that we won the race
[I] have no need for a [co] [chancellor] your present as much less your unnecessary

Plagueis slid to the floor and rolled Facedown death rattled his lungs
And he died one 140 started to approach, but sidious motion for the stop
We are going to have to find her a new home and a new broad one Droid one
140 looked once at the moon then at sidious. Yes, [master] [palatine] sidious moved to the window then turned to regard the murder scene
He go damask would appear to have died because of a malfunction of the breathing apparatus
[he] would have the droid alert the med techs
But no autopsy would be performed and no inquest would follow
Senator Palpatine might garner even greater sympathy his delight in being elected to the chancellorship
Diminished by the Sudden death of a powerful financial ally sidious moved back into the room to take a closer look at Plagueis then
After a long moment he returned to the window and pulled the traces his spirits soared
But briefly something was shading his sense of triumph a vague awareness of a power greater than himself
Was it plagueis reaching out from the far side of death to vex him or was the feeling a mere [consequence] of prophecies?
Outside the Summit's of the tallest buildings were gilded by the first rays of Daylight
So the main piece that I want to take away from this and discuss with you all besides the fact that palpatine is
Unbelievably psychotic and brilliant at the same time is how in the beginning it seemed as if plagueis stopped defending himself?
Using the assassination to test his abilities and research with cheating death
[I] do wonder if he wasn't drunk would he have been able to protect himself and kill sidious
[I] think he could
I think cops he knew this and that's why he knew he had to
Intoxicate him before trying to kill him it was his only chance [I] also want to point attention to how he says never once that
I have any intention of sharing power with you. I needed to learn from you. No more no less
I find this [ironic] because that's literally anakin's reason for becoming his apprentice. He never cared for Pelton
He merely just wanted to learn his secrets, and then move on with his life
It's interesting how the cycle always comes back to the one who spun it
I really want to see a cop team in Plagueis movie [a] goal [of] mine
Is to make a mini star wars film in the near future a very high budget one at that with [a] big set actors
Co-writers and directors. I think that would [be] really cool a real-life fan fiction almost again anyways, there's lots more
I want to do with this channel as time progresses
How did you go there with all thanks for watching this episode everyone? I hope you enjoyed it if you did
They're all alike have a great day everyone. I'll see you all in tomorrow's episode. I'm star Wars theory until then
remember
oh
