There was no audience to manipulate in this scene. This was Sidious giving intonhis dark, twisted blood lust and showing just how psychotic and detached he really was.

Blethering on about one's domination of another is a statement of both *personal insecurity* and one's overcompensation by way of *narcissism.* Witness T'Rump. But in a fantasy/drama system such as Star Warz, blethering on is a tool of exposition. It is constantly and consistently used in horror and bad guy vs good guy stories for the purpose of informing and challenging the thoughts of the audience while building their tension, suspense and emotion regarding the performance.

[@spacejesus321]

I believe plaguesis purposely intoxicated himself. He was much to wise to not notice his students intentions but since he knew the pain he would feel of dying that night he become intoxicated. He in a way was proud of his apprentice. The same way he knew Vader was going to kill him as he shocked Luke. He knew the balance of the force was inevitable especially if he had obtained archives

[@mariobergnini8897]

im not sure sidious had actually planned to kill him that night or if plagueis falling asleep after getting intoxicated after having not slept in years just presented a surprise opportunity. Technically him killing his master like that was against the rule of 2 and one of the things Bane was looking to avoid in creating the rule to ensure that only the strongest most capable sith inherited the full power of the dark side, though plagueis him self was also provided a surprise opportunity when he dealt the death blow to tennebruas. As his master was trying to hold up the ceiling of a cave to help them escape though plagueis also felt the force telling him to end his master, and his master was happy he did so because he had been an apprentice so long without challenging his master that he was having doubts that his apprentice was strong or bold enough to inherit the title and power of Dark Lord of the Sith. So I'm trying to remember if sidious had the same calling from the force to kill his master when he saw him asleep

[@user-uc6ez8wn9k]

His intoxication wasn’t intentional. Like the novel says, Plagueis thought he was exempt from the Rule of Two because he thought he was the final culmination of it. So he dropped his guard to celebrate what he saw as one of the final steps of thousands of years of planning and work. Ego is the downfall of EVERY Sith that lets his guard drop around his apprentice, and Plagueis learned that the hard way.

[@dragmasanimation]

Sidious is a coward.

[@savvylotodo6871]

instead. palpatine and dooku are sith rivals, and plagueis appears to choose dooku as his apprentice. palpatine turns to the grey jedi where he becomes a hero and senator. only later is it revealed to him that he has been plagueis' apprentice all along: by making an enemy of his apprentice, plagueis has taught him how to crave the absolute power necessary to defeat his master. palpatine is seduced back to the sith when he understands plagueis plan is for him to be emperor, having already established palpatine in the republic as a ploy. palpatine "turns" to the dark side, which creates a disturbance in the force, which only gets balanced after anakin "turns" back. upon learning of leia, sidious intended on killing both darth vader and luke skywalker on the death star.

[@thecajunphoenix]

No other options before his and Padmé's son Luke Skywalker and daughter Princess Leia Organa Skywalker came of age and battled against Darth Sidious's (yes, Darth Sidious was pulling the levers from behind the curtains from the very start) many hordes.

[@jasonbrown2241]

Bro do you know the song or theme that plays at this part

[@troy5292]

Great video and point of view, but I have to disagree on why Darth Plagueis didn’t fight back when Darth Sidious attacked him. Plagueis may have been powerful enough to kill Sidious, and he may have been powerful enough to use the force to save his own body after his breathing apparatus was destroyed by the force lightning from Sidious, but I do not think he would have been powerful enough to do both at the same time. It would have taken a lot of focus for Plagueis to save himself and get to another breathing apparatus while avoiding detection of dark side power use from the Jedi, and maintaining that level of focus while fighting for your life against someone as powerful as Sidious would have been impossible. Plagueis was very intelligent and wise, and I think he knew that if he had somehow won the battle with Sidious, the Sith would have lost the entire war that had been brewing against the Jedi. While it may not be the Sith way to lay down and die without a fight, I think Plagueis KNEW he was beaten and chose not to fight back and not to hurt Sidious to keep the Sith dream of overthrowing the Jedi alive. If Sidious had force related injuries or light saber wounds and the Jedi found out, it would have been the end of Sidious and the Sith because Sidious didn’t have enough control over the republic to take on the Jedi alone without the clone army and all the power he gained bit by bit. I cannot think of any other logical reason a Sith Master would not even raise a finger to defend himself besides knowing that to do so would most likely utterly destroy the Sith and the transfer of knowledge from master to apprentice forever. That is how intelligent and wise Plagueis was. And also one of the few 100% selfless acts of any Sith Master in history I suppose. I have to hand it to James Luceno - it was a masterfully written book, but I think Plagueis chose not to fight back for the greater good of the Sith.

[@jeffbloom3691]

Plagueis*

[@StarboyXL9]

Plagueis had spent about 20 years in self-imposed exile spending 24 hours a day 7 days a week studying the Force. He had long surpassed his body's need for sleep or rest and devoted his every moment to furthering his study of midichlorians in an attempt to achieve immortality. In doing so he literally unlocked ancient Sith secrets for unnatural healing and life extension that had been lost in Darth Gravid's purge of Sith knowledge 500 years prior. Plagueis was mere years away from becoming as powerful as the Sith Lords of old, such as Naga Sadow, Ludo Kressh, and Marka Ragnos.

[@stud6060]

[@cricketandcurry7823]

Palpatine was not in his prime at the time if he was in his prime he was the most powerful Sith Lord of all time

[@Jadefire1010]

The Rule of Two is always cyclical. The Sith Master will gain in strength, power, and cleverness until he believes himself invincible. That's the weakness of the Sith, they are consumed by their ego, their arrogance, their belief that they are superior to all things. And in their hubris, they will become blind to all threats, deluding themselves into believing that they cannot be destroyed for they are too powerful. It is at that moment that the apprentice strikes, not just because that's the best oppurtunity, but because that's when they ought to, as that's when the master is now useless to the Sith, as their confidence in their power makes them the weakest they will ever be. This is what Bane intended. He knew that the Sith were doomed to arrogance and hubris, so he created a system that their lust for power will be used to correct their weaknesses. Plagueis deluded himself into thinking he was immortal, which allowed Sidious to kill him. Sidious deluded himself into thinking that Vader's spirit was broken and he had nothing to live for but to serve him, which prevented him from forseeing Vader's love for Luke to drive him to kill him to protect his son. Snoke deluded himself into thinking he had Kylo under his thumb like an abusive father has control of his children, so he didn't expect Kylo to suddenly grow a spine and cut him in half. And so the apprentice kills the stagnant master and grows ever stronger.

[@TheKing-uh3fd]

That was a really great example

[@vingtor1713]

Well Said

[@orlandovazquez8694]

That's correct to a point. Bane wanted the apprentice to surpass the master in strength, knowledge and Dark side ability to be able to destroy the master in fair combat, ensuring the next apprentice will have an even stronger master thus making the Sith stronger. Not by deception but a true death match, like how Darth Zanna killed Bane when he was still strong with the force. He was the true and only Sith'Ari.

[@sluggy1]

I'm down with the idea but then where does that leave us with who is the master and apprentice... for both sides really..?

[@bighatastrea]

But what happens when the master is a bad teacher or when he is way too strong for his apprentice and too old to teach a new one? I don't think that any sith but Kreia knew about the "cycle" the force is forcing upon the Jedi and Sith (the whole "the force is everywhere and there'll always be a new sith lord", ignoring midichlorian blood biology stuff).

It made me feel that Palpatine really did care for Plagueis. I'm wondering if you agree. Or do you feel it was just anger for someone attacking the Sith?

[@purplepotato3592]

I viewed it more of a fury that his knowledge and power resource, through which he saw his pathway to greatness, was being threatened. So his response was violent and emotional as you say, but in a way that they were interfering with his own Grand Plan, and that the assassination would have come too soon for him to be able to achieve what he wanted and set his pace in the Galaxy.

[@chrisscott5214]

He cared for plagueis, but plagueis was no longer needed to carry out the grand plan. Sideous had his own designs on how to enact it. It was necessary, same as every other apprentice that killed their master.

[@Stussmeister]

I think Palpatine's response to the first assassination attempt was more anger that a useful tool and resource in his (or the Sith's) Grand Plan was being threatened before he was done with using it. As we see here, he would have cast Plagueis aside anyway once he had served his purpose, for, as Sidious himself put it, "No true Sith can ever really care about one another."

[@NevG27]

He was angry he wouldn't be able to monologue like this. He had spent decades preparing that speech.

[@seanking6184]

I don’t think he cared for Plagueis per say but there are many examples in the comics in which he shows respect for Plagueis posthumously, to a Level he never did with any Jedi or even his apprentices : As emperor he would often think about how plagueis would have dealt with the trivial day to day running’s of the empire and its politics. He also surmised that Plagueis kept some of his knowledge about immortality a secret from Palpatine. Sidious inherited all of Plagueis’s work and knowledge yet couldn’t achieve full immortality and his transference left him weak and in pain… he figured it was karma for murdering his master and that plagueis was probably getting the last laugh He always refers to Plagueis as wise and powerful when recounting him. Even when he highlights his flaws he always seemed to show positives The night/morning he murdered plagueis; Palpatine had a full blown anxiety attack at the thought that Plagueis would return and extract revenge. He was the apprentice for many decades for a reason. Plagueis was evidently a great teacher and very powerful figure who Palpatine saw as a mentor and useful (he was the one that got Palpatine connected politically and Taught him the dark side after all).

Darth Banes intent with the Rule Of Two was to make The Sith Stronger, not the individual, Sci Fi equivalent of Darwanism taken to an extreme.

[@seanking6184]

The idea is that each generation of Sith become wiser, stronger and more equipped with the knowledge/resources of the past Sith. So in essence it’s almost like selective breeding to produce the strongest Sith. The rule of two was also influenced by the Sith prophecy of “the dyad” with ancient Sith stories detailing the dyad as an almost symbiotic relationship between two force beings that was a gateway to potent force powers/connection between the two that could transcend space time. Plagueis, the genius he was came very close to creating a man-made dyad with Sidious but ultimately failed which Sidious saw as his master not being worthy… until Sidious tried the same thing with Vader and flopped even harder 🤣

I find it funny that Sideous is considered the strongest sith lord to ever be, yet he had to use wine to overpower Plageus. He was only the smartest perhaps. And we all know that Yoda would have won the battle with Sideous if not for the force explosion that blew him to the bottom of the senate. Yoda clearly was more powerful, and so was Mace Windu. Stupid Anakin...

[@ThePerfectBalls]

In that lies the brilliance of sidious. He was the most powerful because of his cunning and manipulative nature. Bane was certainly a stronger sith in terms of raw strength and perhaps force abilities and yoda is wise but none other played the game of chess as well as sidious had.

[@UnholyWrath3277]

Plaegous knew how to manipulate the midichlorians to create life. He taught his apprentice, Sheev Palpatine éverything he knew. So Sheev 'Sidious' Palpatine knew this too! Thats how Sidious created Snoke. A force-born prodigy. I think Sidious' physical form did die on the Deathstar, at the end of ROTJ, when Vader tossed him down that ventshaft. If not the fall, then the explosion of the superweapon killed his physical form. Yet Sidious knew how to survive in the living Force, as Jedi's did! He mentored Snoke like that? Then when he had manipulated his puppet Snoke, enough he 'withdrew' to Exogol where he took controled of a cloned body of himself and preperations of his Planet-destroyer Fleet were well underway? Its a 'Sith Legend', we should get told sometimes: How did 'Palpatine actually somehow survive'? How did he create Snoke? And if he was destroyed by Rey, how come he's never coming back again? Simply because his cloning facility on Exogol got destroyed? Sidious seemed to have found a pathway to immortality, just like Qui-gon Jinn did, alongside Yoda, Obi-wan Kenobi, and Anakin, at the end of ROTJ...

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
