Imagine if Plagueis were the villain in “Dark Empire” instead of a Reborn Palpatine.

[@jakefisher1638]

@@OptmiusPrime114 would have been WAY tighter

[@jakefisher1638]

Yeah. Woulda been way tighter

[@undead4500]

Plagueis didn't exist back then so what the point lol? Dark empire was released in 90s before the Prequels were a thing.

[@WillyC300]

@@undead4500he said “imagine”. You’re really doing yourself an injustice by not realizing the potential of the human brain.

[@undead4500]

@@WillyC300 ehh i mean Plagueis was created to justify Emperor Palpatine's Desire to cheat Death and seek immorality. ( Dark Empire, Death Troopers novel, etc) In Disney Canon Plagueis Influence and Legacy also extended to Vader With him doing all forms of life and death Dark side experiments in attempts to Resurrect Padme. Source: Vader Comics and Vader Immortal VR game. At least Vader was successful at Trapping The Grand Inquisitor's Spirit. The Point is Plagueis legacy has Fueled The Sith Desire for immorality and Power over life and Death.

The Secrets of the Jedi book describes what Luke learned about the Sith in Canon.

This channel should be much bigger than what it currently is. Love the content and the background music. Keep griding cuz this is my top 3 favorite SW channel on all of KZbin!!

[@RetneysHolocron]

Thank you so much!

[@dimondsafkage4620]

Oh yes, the story about The Tragedy of Darth Pleagueis the Wise should be shared through generations. Like father, like son

[@Itachi.D.Dragon]

Thanks i needed this!!! Anything from Lucus point of view is interesting to me lol.

[@gustavedelior3683]

When will they start telling the tragedy of Darth Sidious the arrogant?

[@andristark]

😂

[@G31M1]

I might not agree with you on the Acolyte and how much you appreciate most of the Disney content, but I still enjoy your videos a lot! I’m just waiting for you to blow up man! Keep the good work up, bro!

[@HarkMammal]

Yes book of the Sith! Let’s goooo

[@rickkrueger9802]

I absolutely love your Star Wars channel and this video. Just like a movie. I just found your channel and it’s amazing

[@RetneysHolocron]

Wow, thanks! 🙏

[@ozmozis6073]

I wouldn't characterize Plagueis as a fool, as Luke does. In this, Luke is following the traditions of the Jedi of old, close minded and limited. The edge of science and mysticism is there; that's what Plagueis was searching for. In a different setting not reduced to name calling, Hego Damask and Luke Skywalker would've been friends, thinkers, testing the fabric of the Force. Not sure if a moisture farmer from Tatooine would be able to keep up with the aptitude required for pure science, however all alchemy and witchcraft have at their core, a form of chemistry and biology; tetrodotoxin from the puffer fish gave rise to the stories of zombies.. We did the same during the dark ages and science was halted, as we felt we knew everything. Luke needed to understand this and understand what is behind that door that Plagueis and others were knocking on. Without feigning ignorance, or seeing fear.

[@Veronika7777]

Liked and subbed. Really enjoying your videos. I've watched four today. Love it. Thanks for the excellent content, Mister! 💜

[@dansemacabre6515]

Could you imagine if Star Wars today were telling these stories? Sadly Disney bought it & pushes "the message" while ignoring the lore

[@busterscruggs3031]

@dansemacabre6515 yup. It is no longer star wars

[@UrBigFan]

Exactly we don't need the "canon" there's only one star wars worth talking about

[@MinecraftMartin]

I completely dismissed anything Disney as done with star was after what they did to Luke Skywalker. I wouldn't even consider it a parallel "what if?" multiverse thing. Loved Star Wars all my life and Disney managed to make me sick of the franchise. The EU books are the best we'll ever get at this point.

[@dansemacabre6515]

@@MinecraftMartin Exactly. Having Luke drink the gross green "milk" is some weird assault on culture showing an iconic hero reduced back to an infantilised & broken man. They really do hate us

[@robertsuarez2842]

It’s definitely THEE best book

[@CharlesCasias]

Everything in Star Wars is about balance. I don't think there would be a way for Jedi to become Force Ghosts and for the Sith no to. Maybe not the same way as Jedi but another way not yet discovered. Yes, they can be rooted to a spot or an artifact, but I believe there is a path to immortality for the Dark side as well. Just not found yet.

[@dereksandoval6098]

I'm starting to feel like starwars fans will divide lore into "BD" and "AD". Before and after Disney.

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

Exactly

[@cjchavez19]

I will never consider Disneys to be the arbitrators of canon for star wars. Legally sure but they just split the time line. Theres the actual canon, and theres the disney dimension.

[@marcdescoteaux8219]

How can corruption/sith be considered "wise"? The sith idea is just about playing out the delirious games of the ego using knowledge of the force.

[@0predaking0]

Literally, Lord Darth Plagueis was Right in all

[@rogerdam11]

Wassup Nephew lol twitter not the same without you but 🫡🫡🫡🫡 this one is 💪🏾💪🏾 as usual

[@toddkurzbard]

Well, it's not a story Master Yoda or Obi-Wan would tell him.

[@UrBigFan]

Legends = Only Canon

[@andristark]

You're making a mistake if you think that Plagueis is (was) intelligent. The fact is that negativity destroys our brain, so... how can he be intelligent? This is fiction so anything can be possible but in our real reality it's not. Anyway, Luke is right in his opinions.

[@LHearts]

Good video and then you spend the last chunk rambling on repeating yourself trying to extend the length. I assume for revenue reasons trying to get past that 10min mark. Very enjoyable video besides that though and I had never heard of this Sith before.

[@RetneysHolocron]

I just like to give my take and personal thoughts at the end of videos. 👍 Thanks for watching

[@toddkurzbard]

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

[@ojl392]

Darth Plagueis made the mistake of being arrogant and not respecting The Force as a living phenomenon that has a will. Where Plagueis believed that he could bend The Force to his own will, he was a tool of The Force's will all along.
