Funny isn't it, Darth Momin achieved what plagueis was always looking for. While Plagueis assumed dark side of the force is there to be used for his purposes, Momin simply understood that it is to be served not ruled. While Plagueis is killed by his own student, Momin was the one who killed his own master. Momin is killed by the plot armor of Darth Vader, normally he would slain Darth Vader. While Plagueis "THE WİSE" is killed while he is sleeping. That speaks some insights about who is right and who is wrong on the subject.

James Luceno did such a great job building what is, in my opinion, the perfect center to the web of the Expanded Universe.

[@austinkersey2445]

The book does such a good job building the world of Star Wars. It makes it out to be the fantastical world that it is supposed to be. But without the taint from Disney. It gives a wonderful view of the history behind the universe and expands upon pre-existing concepts, while also introducing tales like Darth Gravid. It just shows that James Luceno really knows Star Wars and how to properly world build. My single complaint is that sometimes the characters feel a bit monotonous like its the same character but isn't due to the changes described on the page. Besides that the book is nearly perfect.

till you realize movies need to make money, failure cannot happen because frankly when movies dont make a profit soooooo many people lose their jobs. star wars is a monster now and thus cannot take too many risks in the main movies... just look at the last jedi, they tried something new (kind of they ripped off alot of empire/ROTJ moments) and it didnt work, and instead of admitting they messed up they just attack the fan's and make it worse for themselves. star wars was never complex or super deep, it was always a simple almost brainless story that was timeless.

"You useless old fool, who forged the most poweful sith lord the world has ever known, yet forgot to leave a place for himself, whos pride refused himself to know that he would not be needed!" - Palpatine. Truly powerful words, speaks volumes of the dark side itself. While the jedi fear or bottle up their emotions, the sith use emotions to better themselves, but they let their emotions become their own master. Pride, Envy, Arrogance, these emotions take an aspiring Dark Side ruler from having the entire galaxy wrapped around his hand, only for it to be taken away from him in one swift move. Simply because his envy for his apprentice inherent power over himself fueled his pride. Making the arrogant mistakes such as, not leaving an heir of some sort, no contingency plan for his death, and purposely limiting his apprentice so he could never overthrow him (despite that being the major principle of The Rule of Two)

[@lebeaumuni6247]

Social Account pretty sure the idea is that he trained his apprentice to be such a badass and planned to rule from the shadow. Palpatine was supposed to rule publicly but palpatine betrayed his master and actually decided to rule and not be a puppet king. I don’t remember envy having much of a part in this.

[@agustinbaletti]

But Sidious betrayed the rule of two making it for his own. They were at the endgame. Power, War and Victory were coming as Palpatine succeded in his quest for power. And so, the need to mantain the order by an apprentice worthy of succeeding a master was no more. Instead, the sith have won and by him they should rule forever, thus making his apprentices mere puppets, not true Sith Lords

[@ignisking759]

Darth Bane would be proud.

[@GoldenGodman]

Truly, Sidious did not care at all about the Sith Order, or the Jedi. All he cared about was himself, like Plagueis said, "all living things are nothing more than a tool to elevate you" HE learned the dark side just to accumulate power, and not to end the jedi, or elevate the sith order, he learning the dark side was nothing more than a tool to elevate him to his destined place. All in Sidious life was leading to those moments, Empire, Emperor, Ruler of the Galaxy. Nothing more matters, only Power to him. Honestly, that is a hell of example. Truly my favorite character in Star Wars.

[@jakobrenner2230]

@@GoldenGodman I think Sidious saw himself as the embodiment and culmination of the Sith Order, surppassing all his predecessors and seeing his apprentices, Darths Maul, Tyrannus and Vader being only mere Dark Jedi who were Sith in name only and tools to be used.

[@officialvallen]

I truly believe Darth Plagueis was the only being ever in Sidious’ life to fully grasp the full nature of who and what he was. Not his placeholder apprentices, Maul and Dooku. Not the pawns who served his political ends, Tarkin, Mas Amedda/Sate Pestage, Sly Moore, and the rest of his inner circle, not the tactical genius of Grand Admiral Thrawn, not even the prophecised Chosen One turned instrument of the Sith’s revenge Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. None of them saw Sidious for his true, unmasked self. Sidious merely allowed each of them to view the sides of himself that served his own interests in order to keep them under his influence and control. But Plagueis was there from the beginning. He saw him grow, he saw his moments of weakness, of doubt and conflict, and trained him to be in complete command of himself, his abilities, to harness his nature, and to wield the Dark Side with a mastery even he couldn’t help but admire. In the same way, I believe only Sidious was able to know Plagueis in the same way. As the novel spends its entire length demonstrating, they truly are the greatest Master/apprentice duo in the Sith’s history (and I would venture further than that to argue in Star Wars’ history)

[@darthnihilus511]

[@DesolatedChild018]

George Lucas is a fantastic storyteller and creator of worlds and characters, but he is not the best director. With A New Hope he had more restrains unto him due to being a newcomer, having lower budget and doing a movie no one believed it would work. So much was due to input of other professionals. Till the last minute he was altering the script (a major thing like Obi-Wan death was added mid filming, and the idea that the Death Star should be targeting the Rebel Base during the climax came up when they were on the editing room, to raise tension and raise the stakes) and search for some interviews with the OG cast about how some of the dialogues were improv (the ones with Mark Hamil are particularly funny) because Lucas had gone full nerd and would have the characters give loads of exposition on things unrelated to the plot and talking like no normal human do. In Episodes V and VI he wasn’t the director, but kept being on set complaining over even the minor of changes, even some we like the most. For instance: Vader fighting with one hand was the decision of the director, but Lucas complained because “they are supposed to fight like samurais” - Which is particularly interesting because it exemplifies perfectly the point; One was more worried about using Vader’s one hand parry of Luke’s attacks as a form of telling how unprepared Luke was in a visual manner and the other was more worried with references and lore. Then when it was the time for the Prequels, Lucas already was the legendary all powerful head of Lucasfilm. etc. He had basically complete control over everything, and no one could tell him what to do. Except Lucas is one creator that do need some input from external sources. He had a main guiding story he need to tell, and I truly love this story, but while telling it he got into weird sidetracks, got distracted by experimenting with new tech, with making annoying ass characters and sequences to appeal to kids and sell toys out of it (look guys, I was there too, Podrace in the N64 was amazing, but in the movie is boring as fuck, I’m sorry) and the tone he went in telling this story wasn’t the tone any fan wanted. Everyone makes fun of some of the bad writing and acting (looking at you “I hate sand”, looking at you “I wish I could wish away my feelings”) but they were that by design, because Lucas saw the whole thing as a 40’s serialized wartime melodrama; In some interviews he even call it “a soap opera”. I will forever be grateful for this lovely boomer for what he created. He is that one weirdly creative great-uncle that told stories that stuck with you and all your cousins and often sidetracked to things only appealed to him or to his demographic, but it was all heart. But the truth is, the best Star Wars stories are the ones he didn’t told by himself. Look at Clone Wars! In my headcanon those are what the prequels should have been. How does the animation have characters that feel more alive than the live action one in which most actors seem like they reading the lines instead of acting. Look at what it did with Natalie Portman. Mace Windu is badass because he is Sam Jackson, but he opens his mouth and he sounds so lifeless and robotic I almost forget that this is the guy that gives full energy even in the most stupid roles. In short, god bless the EU (legends or not) and god bless Dave Filoni. People keep talking about Jon Favreau taking over the creative direction for the future of Star Wars, and I mean no disrespect I loved what he did, but you you all act like Dave isn’t the best suited for it? He not only was there first, but elevated the Saga in ways JJ Abrams could have only dreamed of accomplishing 1% of what he did. Let Jon do his thing, with his fantastic team of creators, but give Dave his due. He is our Revan, he understands the franchise in ways we never could.

Darth Plagues: "We stand here among my achievements, not yours!"

[@noahgreer1497]

"Do not be afraid to feel emotions, go on whatever path the force takes you" (One minute later) "You need to carry the force, not let it carry you, I can't have you feeling feelings and having compassion!"

[@goodmind4940]

not force in first sentence, dark side

[@papawedge7396]

That's the inherent contradiction in the Sith's philosophy, they get fueled by their emotions, yet they discard the ones that make them "weaker" thus, they are afraid to embrace the full extent of what they are, and lose all hunanity in a quest for power, in the end, they are just as afraid of their emotions as the Jedi are.

[@Werin69]

Wow, you truly understand The star Wars franchise, it's vastness of potencial. Love this!

[@Coreythebartender]

Oooh my god this is it. THIS IS THE MOVIE THAT SHOULD BE MADE. thank you for who ever edited this no bless you this made my week. I have dreamed and hoped for a movie like this. Well done again on the editing.

"You useless old fool, who forged the most powerful sith lord the galaxy has ever know, and yet who forgot to leave a place for himself. Whose pride never allowed him to question that he would no longer be needed. Rest easy in your grave, Plagueis."

[@XiaoLynn]

"Who's pride never allowed him to question that he will no longer be needed." Ironic, that this is the same mistake Sidious made at the end...His overconfidence killed him.

[@papawedge7396]

I don't know, Vader didin't kill him because he had no use for him anymore, he did it just to save his son, it was an act of compassion, but Palpatine's overconfidence instead showed in his certainty that Vader could never be turned again, and he even caused Vader to turn for the same reason he went Dark in the first place: to save someone he loved.

[@urchinowdelaresistance5109]

This is wonderful, my favorite videos you've done so far are the ones that bring together the thoughts and ideologies of fictional characters through their own words and thematic music and scene. This run of statements from Plagueis does indeed show the advantages of the Banite Sith over the post-First Great Schism Jedi, but Plagueis, like the line of Bane and each Sith Order before and the Legions of Lettow, does not see the hypocrisy and arrogance in his own words that they all share... "the full spectrum of emotions" yet calling for turning away from regret and compassion, and making use of an imperial form of egoism... in this, beyond showing that the paths of the compassionate Gray are the best mortal answer for a Force adept, the Sith broke their bonds to forge new ones around themselves of arrogance and hierarchy, preventing them from seeing the power and degrees of righteousness of the irrepressible continuum of individuals banding together as rivals or to seek liberty and equity... and here we see a truth in our history too of oppressors who feared and fear contemplate that the oppressed could be a true threat. Dudu, you humbly traverse the path of heralding the conduit that is fiction as one of many paths between ethics, history and the individual along with the joy of myth and stories. Joseph Campbell would be proud

[@detalin7655]

This is artwork. I watch this video over and over again and I never get tired of it.

[@esonstudios1559]

Dudu, after so long. Your videos have lacked the sense of STAR WARS, for me. This was worth the wait. It is so, so good. What STAR WARS lost because of Plagueis’ death, you showed us that now. Plagueis was an essential instrument of the Sith, he achieved what near none other could. His wisdom carried through to Palpatine and that shows in the movies, a small reason towards why I love the prequels. It’s truly satisfying to see such artwork weave together so delicately and so powerfully. I can already tell you, the more I watch this video, the more I’ll love it. Fantastic work Dudu, the cutoff in the last video is forgiven, you just created a character better than Thrawn with nothing of this character to show but his voice echoing the teachings of the Sith, and demonstrating the power of these teachings.

[@DuduFilm]

well finally you liked something ))))))

[@esonstudios1559]

DuduFilm There’s no words that can describe how perfect this video is. Take my advise here Dudu, if you haven’t already, start building a name for yourself. This video here, is worth being a trailer. Very specifically this one. It doesn’t reveal anything about the progression of his story, but informs the viewer that it’s how Sidious came to be. I really mean this Dudu, get out there. Do something with this talent.

[@StarWarsOpinion]

Agree with you, I do. Perfection this is.

[@prometheusmodelow8322]

It's incredible how much of Plagueis' teachings Palpatine took to heart.

[@nicinat0r]

I love that you make videos about deeper LORE inside the Star Wars Universe and not just Videos about Rey,Luke or other big characters ! Best Video about Plagueis i have ever seen

[@Xehanort10]

When Plagueis was giving that speech in the novel Sidious was thinking "No. This is MY galaxy."

Thank you for reminding me why I loved Star Wars. There’s not many vocal EU/prequel fans on this platform. I appreciate the work you put into these videos

[@fandomzack]

An excellent and chilling video - this is definitely the sort of vibe I'd want from a trailer for a Sidious/Dark Side TV show/movie. It also blew my mind when I realised that this entire audiobook was narrated by Daniel Davis - who played Niles the Butler on The Nanny XD

[@SchneeflockeMonsoon]

Love the use of the Plaguies Audiobook. Its VA is too perfect.

[@vadiamgamer9753]

I came to watch this after watching the trailer for The Acolyte. I am so excited at the possibility of the introduction of Darth Tenebrous into (Disney) canon lore!

[@janmichaelvincent2157]

[@ShadowGhost0117]

This video has helped me place Darth Plagueis among my list of favorite Sith Lords. I have yet to listen to or read the Plagueis novel but these few lines from the story are amazing. My other choices of favorite Sith Lords would be Marr, Bane, Dooku, Maul, Vader of course, and Revan (yes he went back and forth between Jedi and Sith but his Sith days tend to be the more memorable parts of his story). Update: Currently listening through the Plagueis audiobook. So attention grabbing. Last update: Finished the audiobook around a month ago. So good that at some point I’m going to have to go listen to it all over again.

i just read the book, this edit is so good man keep it up

[@odin1185]

The fact that palps had to kill him in his sleep makes you wonder how badass plagueis was.

[@Gabronthe]

Plagueis had an amazing knowledge of Sith Alchemy. Really Sith Alchemy is equal to god tier unstoppable power, he really could only have been defeated in his drunken sleepy stupor.

Im so glad they didnt turn this into a TV show... book of boba and Kenobi were so bad

[@ben17ism]

I just now finished the book. Oh the connections. The drama. The lore. The throught that Palpatine named Vader after a man who he considered a friend but had to kill him for the Great Plan (atleast that's how my mind took it). And . . . . it's just amazing. Now if you'll excuse me . . . I have a Darth Bane Novel to start for a very first time

[@goodmind4940]

Oh!! That's a very cool way to look at Vidar Kim

[@grimlord3181]

I don't like that. Palpatine is better without redeeming values.

[@jorgebersabe293]

​@@grimlord3181 Except it isn't a redeeming quality. Ultimately, Palpatine did care about Vidar, but as an extension of himself. That's narcissism, not friendship.

[@MrBell-iq3sm]

Many often talk about the hypocrisies of the Jedi, but rarely about the hypocrisies of the Sith. How they for example claim to embrace the full spectrum of emotions and yet many of them limit themselves to hatred, greed and pride and outright destroy any sense of compassion, pity and love, which are just as valid as the other emotions.

Oh my, I voted against Plaguies as I honestly found the character rather dull... I acknowledge his importance but really, I just... Eh... Still, you managed to pull it off. The clip with Kreia was by far my favourite, it struck gold. The ending, of course... I had expected the "Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise" to come either in the very beginning or end. Cheers to you! You've done great.
