Palpatine’s Strangely Touching Final Speech to His Master Darth Plagueis

[@vitorpereira9515]

“Teacher Yes and for that I will be eternally grateful, but Master… Never!” - Palpatine

[@cedricroney1475]

Darth Plaeguis is one of the few people Sidious ever had real respect for. He never liked him but he did appreciate and respect his knowledge and power

[@Cuban20]

Ironically he came to like him and even understand him after becoming the Emperor. He realized why Plageuis was bored all the time and wanted to play God. He himself was bored as the Emperor and I think the Rebellion gave him a distraction. An enemy to fight.

Great idea! I would also love to see something on how each rule of 2 sith lord originally found their apprentice. What made that prospective apprentice worthy in their eyes, what made them stick out? Did they have an initial test to prove their worthiness etc. etc.

[@ozmozis6073]

I wonder if Palpatine reflected on his speech, as Vader threw him down the reactor shaft? How ironic that he felt he was a mere messenger in the dark side, where he made Vader feel the same if not a slave to his wishes. Too focused on the Death Star not to see it was Tarkin's 'fool's gold,' to have died at the heart of his terror machine.

[@feral11-11]

Nah he came back to life a few years later. No reflection necessary.

[@andy2200]

I have to say, for a man like Palpatine, this is kind of wholesome. It's like a father preparing and sending his son off to college ........ In a psychopathic way. Heartwarming.... Of course that could be from all the force lightning, But you know what I mean.

An absolutely amazing speech and scene.

[@jayt9608]

A great many Sith become ver honest when engaging in a confrontation. Malak is very confessional when confronted in the Star Forge, as is Revan. Kreia and Sion are also very conversational in their last moments. Bane and Zannah have a heart to heart chat, as dies Palpatine and Luke before Vader. I believe that Sith Lords are dropping the mask because the time for illusions, deceptions, and lies are past, leaving only the truth as the most dangerous weapon before the final physical conflict.

[@Gor85]

This is amazing speech. Palpatine despised Plagueis. For many reasons. And we was right. Plagueis was very weak Sith,as Master and scientist. But he also admires his so much. His knowledge,power,influence. Palpatine had EVERYTHING! Respect-hate relationship. Great video!

[@o19g78e]

Darth Plagueis probably felt like Keton when he figured out who Keizer Soze was. Palpatine timed his murder perfectly. The speech basically boils down to: Thought you got away from the rule of two ? I don't think so. Also, every part of our partnership went according to my plan, not yours.

[@dreadrath]

Meanwhile Plagueis is probably thinking "By the force he does love to ramble. And I thought I could monologue."

Sounds like what ever sith tells there master before they take their place

[@bryanricketts8637]

Sith would be stronger if the apprentice beat the master by open challenge instead of back stabbing

[@alexschmeling2655]

They would be more similar to when they were a people instead of a religious group, arguably when they were significantly stronger

[@pullo5518]

Yes, but it's not battle prowess that got them in the position that they could overthrow the republic, it's trickery, deceit and politics.

[@kacperrutkowski6350]

I mean it was the case for most of the rule of two Sith. If I recall corectly there were only 3 exceptions - Plagueis and Tenebrous (as Plagueis challenged Tenebrous to the duel when the latter was wounded instead of waiting for him to recover full strength), Palpatine killing Plagues and also probably Gravid never killing Vectivus (probably due to never getting strong enough to kill him, what led to Vectivus dying of old age).

[@kylelloyd4437]

Back stabbing is the nature of the dark side though.

[@yaddle92]

Winning in open challenge proves you are either stronger, faster or luckier. Backstabbing implies that the apprentice has more cunning than the master. Either way, the apprentice has surpassed the master at that point. Darth Bane had these thoughts in the book Rule of Two.

[@carlosgarza400]

[@kovie9162]

I recently came up with a theory, highly unlikely but still intriguing, that for most or all of the "Rule of Two" Sith era, there's really been just one actual Sith, who keeps transferring their consciousness to their apprentice as the latter murders them. Not sure how they do this or figured out how to do this, or what happens to the apprentice's consciousness (perhaps it gets swapped with the master's and thus is the one that actually dies?). But it does solve a number of problems within the Star Wars universe. Like, how do you get Sith masters to agree to take on and train an apprentice when they know that someday they will murder and replace them? What's in it for them, especially since they don't get to enjoy their power until they finally find a way to destroy the Jedi and republic and take over the galaxy, and even then, they still get killed eventually? Sith are famously selfish and afraid of dying, so why would they do anything to accelerate their own demise? Transferring or swapping your consciousness to or with your apprentice as they're murdering you seems to solve that, as you get to live on in a new body, which you yourself picked, developed and trained. To those who ask, didn't the Sith figure out consciousness transfer only under Sidious, who devoted much of his life to figuring it out, so how would this have worked? The answer is that he already knew how to transfer consciousness, having learned how to do this centuries prior, and was actually working on cloning people who were already powerful in the force, to avoid the randomness of finding a suitable apprentice and training them properly, ad infinitum. With cloning a powerful force sensitive person, you could keep on cloning the same person forever AND not have to worry about your apprentice catching you off guard and murdering you. And, this is precisely what Sidious tried to do in TROS, albeit with a force sensitive dyad and not a single force sensitive clone. He just botched it, either waiting too long, not realizing the dangers of doing it with a force dyad, the victim of bad luck, failed cloning research, Jedi resurgence and perhaps the Knights of Ren, whose creation he couldn't prevent in the Acolyte era that would come back to haunt him (thus making this show sow the seeds for not only the Jedi's demise but also the Sith's, and the Jedi's return, which makes it so much more interesting). I haven't kept up with recent canon works like the High Republic novels and comics, so are there any canon reasons for why this is impossible, or at least extremely unlikely? This novel is still Legends, not canon, and so can't be used to refute this theory. Only canon can do that. And, wouldn't it be cool and the ultimate irony if, after Sidious was done with his speech and waiting for Plagueis to finally die, the latter said "Psych--Gotcha!", and swapped consciousnesses with the former and survived death yet again? Of course it would be into a decrepit and deformed body that would soon have to be replaced, and of course Sidious' apprentice was even less suitable for long-term use, and so the search for a much younger and healthier force sensitive replacement body resumed, which he initially tried to clone, with no success, then Ezra, which failed, then Luke, or Leia if that failed, both of which also failed, then a series of inferior clones, and, finally, Rey & Kylo, which of course also failed, spectacularly and presumably and hopefully for the last time.

Sidious like the petulant child of a Sith he is. Is revealing in not only thanking Plageius for training him, but humiliating and taunting him for leaving Sidious to do all the work of the grand plan and him keeping Plageius as a place holder until he was ready to take power himself.

[@saintsinner6195]

Ok that shot you used of a young Palpatine with "The Acolyte" plastered on the bottom like a movie poster makes me so sad thinking of what could have been. Then you have Tom Hiddleston next as a slightly older Palpatine likely around the time he is being trained by Plagueis. That would have been so much better of a show/movie.

Tom is a tad too tall to play Palpy, and is aging out of "younger Sidious".

[@jaylevzi7293]

Plagueis was tired, he knew his time was coming and he was ready, when Sidious ended his physical form, his spirit was released, and still exists. Plagueis is alive and will posess a new physical form he creates. Maybe has even been around the whole time, just watching. The fact they brought him back in the Acolyte shows they are not done with him. And that's Disney too...

[@patmianwinston]

Most Sith apprentices: kill their masters quickly whilst gloating a bit. Sidious: gives his master a long and painful death so he can take as long as possible to dedicate the moment to espouse his ideological theory and entire life story, even manipulating the very memory of the death to continue to use it as a tool years later with anakin.

[@arbknight12]

Listen to audiobook! It’s amazing!

[@marshal8358]

It's interesting how both tenebrous and sidious confront plagueis in the fact that he was the one sith in their line who prioritized his research to create life and become immortal, over the grand plan.

[@roberttrawinski6493]

I think that palpatine despised his master for not treating him as equal but as lesser apprentice he also heated that he had to do everything i mean he trained maul as sith master and he was politician but plagueis didn't cared about that he was spending lot of time studying midichlorians and searching for immortality but not caring about palpatine's training. I think that it's very rare for darth sidious to tell truth to anyone for most his life he was a liar but this one moment shows that even palpatine who doesn't tell truth to anyone can have his human moments when it's about being vulnerable to someone we hate

[@roberttrawinski6493]

I think that deep down palpatine is a broken man who was used by someone and changed into something he didn't was he wasn't borned as monster he was turned into that by someone he trusted and when you see somebody that you hate dying it shows side you didn't wanted anyone to know

[@Toshineko]

Darth Plagueis: Oh, why thank you, Palpatine, that was very ni- Palpatine: Andthenyouwilldie. *Shoves his ignited lightsaber into his chest, killing him*

Modern translation: Palpatine: “you’re a bitch fr on god” Plagueis: “but i’m OG no cap” Palpatine: “nah” Plagueis: “oh shit, imma head out”

[@triviszla1536]

And then he treated his "apprentices" the same way

[@rondobrondo]

If Palpatine truly felt the dark side whispering to him, compelling him to kill Plagueis, then I wonder if Plagueis would also have been able to hear the whisperings of the Dark Side telling him that this is its will.

[@Driftking305forlife]

Plagueis greatest Failure was "Suppressed a desire to hug the young human." when Sheev confessed his killing. Had Plagueis been the actual father figure Sheev needed, old Palp would have been a much more powerful Sith and Plagueis would have actually been around.

[@DeathScepter]

Plagueis is an powerful Sith Lord and it will be foolish for Palpatine to keep him around. For all Sith are dangerous

He had everything he could want but in the end it was a empty fasod. Everything he was, was never his true self, he wanted more he wanted to power to take everything by his own will. Plagues showed him the path and the road to power. And sure, sid had missed givings, but he owed him. Thanks because it is through the darkness sidous discovered who he was always ment to be. Even if plagues abandoned the way of the sith

[@milesdecker1]

Plagueis - i know all, Palpatine - but i am capable of all i never said i was going to kill anybody i may have killed somebody but o never said i was going to kill nobody you see saying and doing are two very different thing don't you agree kill one man your a murderer, kill thousand men your a king, kill them all your a god. Thats the difference between Plagueis amd Palpatine being ruler over everyone for a period of time also starting at the bottom working your way up to the top of the hierarchy in limited time is more impressive than simply living forever for what existence only has so much to offer im time it rots amd gets stell like oferything else the finiteness of the universe the brief sunset the sweet taste of revenge and the ecstacy of superme superiority is the best thay lofe has to offer is you have the guts amd smarts to do it and to not let something as futile as guilt or conscience stifle you or hold you back everyone loves his or herself more than they could ever kove anyone else that is the truth of Palpatine in my eyes i believe he would agree with everything i said.

It's ironic that the most evil sith lord was born and raised on the peaceful planet of Naboo.

The Sith got weaker when they stopped challenging one another. Plagueis let tenabrous die by rocks falling on him, and Sidious just killed a drunk sleeping opponent.

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

I just hope they completely change how Darth Plagueis looks, because he's not scary at all. I still think he looked almost identical to Snoke; it's a far better vision. And I don't think he was killed in such a dramatic fashion. He killed him in his SLEEP, not awakened and listening to a monologue. Snoke could easily be the vision of what Plagueis looked like, resurrected, and using him as a way for Palpatine to use his visage, his old master's look, as a puppet, mocking him, in his death. I also don't believe anyone knew who Plagueis really was. There's no way they could have; it breaks canon more than the Acolyte.

Hi.

[@skwills1629]

I Never liked How the Silly and Ridiculous Fan Theory that Darth Plaugus must have been Palpatine's master was Taken Up, since Palpatine telling Anakin an Ancient Sith Legend does not mean he is Talking about Himself from Years Ago, but I Also have a Problem with Darth Plaugis being Palpatines Master Until After Palpatine became Chancellor. That means that "Darth" Maul was Not a Sith Apprentice Until After more than Half of Episode 1 had Ended, when it is Clear He is Intended in the Original Script to be a Sith Apprintice, Not simply Waiting to Become One. At the Very Least if Darth Plaugis is to be Palpatine's Master, Make Him Kill Plaugius After becoming Senator Rather than During The Phantom Menace.

Because he was engaging in an act of deceit. The tells Anakin a very edited version of the truth, knowing that Anakin's vision will likely come about through his own efforts at preventing it. It also further erodes the trust that Anakin has in the Jedi. Anakin's fall into darkness is pathetic, but the manipulation to bring him there is brilliant.
