The character lives up to the first episode and deserved a separate project, not to be exploited in a questionable series. The video did a good job of showing his profile within the references alone

[@sergioandrescontreras5251]

I’m so glad you did this. Darth Plagueis is really terrifying. I’m looking forward to seeing him in future Star Wars stories.

[@filmfandom]

Masterful work, my friend! A simple cameo in the Acolyte transformed into such remarkable art! Even Plagueis' absence throughout the rest of the franchise can portray this powerful character so well lurking in the shadows of Sidious' memory. Amazing as always, mate!

[@zackaryen8322]

Forgetting the Acolyte for a moment but when I saw ROTS as a kid in 2005 in theaters, the Opera scene and Palpatine talking about Plagueis was a mind-blowing moment. This Sith Lord was the Emperor's MASTER and apparently so powerful that the only way Palpatine could kill him, was when he was asleep. So how powerful was he, who was he? And now, after almost 20 years, this is the first time we see Darth Plagueis in live-action and most likely not the last time. As a life long Star Wars fan, it's absolutely insane to finally see him on screen, and on top of that, his look is fucking spot-on. Great SW moment.

[@lordbatfish4490]

Pulling lines straight out of the book, I love it

[@antexrulerofdarkness5517]

I am SO HYPED for future Plagueis stuff that may be in the works! Also, I was SO happy to see this vid first thing in the morning when I woke up and went onto YT! Ya never disappoint @SWFT! Well done! 😊 One other thing, a quick quote from our illustrious Wise Sith: “Evil? What is that? Who gives more shape to sentient history? The good, who adhere to the tried and true? Or those who seek to rouse beings from their stupor, and lead them to glory?” -excerpt from Darth Plagueis the Wise

[@alejandroalonsom9065]

Plagueis was the only person who was able to manipulate Palpatine. And he never forgave him for it

[@StannisMR]

​@SWFT_edits mayyybe but yours is newer and so well tied into the Acolyte already. And you used my favorite Plagueis quotes from the audiobook in such a perfect and unique way. You da SWFTH-ARI. 🫡

[@grahamjoseph00]

This was truly awesome Thanks dude ,

[@Frenchguy261]

Seeing this makes me wish we got a Plagueis mini series. Fantastic work!

[@RavingCelt009]

Goddamn this pairs remarkably well with the @Electricboa tribute from a couple years back when we didn’t have any “canonical” footage. That one was much more triumphalist and even bloodthirsty in its editing, while this seems much more dramatic and even tragic in its depiction of the Dark Lord’s legacy. Amazing work as always!

[@arminkemura8581]

This may be a unpopular opinion but Qimir proclaimed himself as an ”Acolyte” in the show, which means he is not the apprentice and Mae is nothing but another pawn just like him. Because Qimir is an acolyte, Mae is actually nothing but a Sith assassin. The reason Qimir is just an acolyte is because Plagueis is still the apprentice and Darth Tenebrous is alive. I think we’ll see the events of Plagueis killing Tenebrous unfold as he recruits Palpatine instead of Qimir for whatever reason. Thoughts?

[@arminkemura8581]

Too bad we’ll never find out

[@everettparker1313]

This was an Incredible Masterpiece for Darth Plagueis. I been Praying and Hoping that Darth Plagueis would make a Physical Appearance in Star Wars and I’m hoping he Appears in more Future Star Wars Projects.

Rogue One is such a treasure. The destruction of Jedha is easily the most stunning sequence of special effects in star wars. The Death Star eclipsing the sun, the beam traveling down, and the mushroom cloud rising from the ground with the shockwaves radiating out, followed by the orbital view. "Oh, it's... beautiful."

[@ransomweslock2007]

Your use of the Plageuis novel over these last few videos has been stellar. The wily Muun has long been a favorite character of mine and i was ecstatic to see him in the flesh, and he looked very well animated/designed, and very malevolent. I enjoyed Acolyte but can understand a lot of the criticism but I hope fans can see that its a unique and valuable addition to the canon. P.S SFWT, your ability to make a compelling and artful 3 minute long video off a 4 second cameo and a few lines of dialogue is proof youre the best

[@reginamills2168]

Bravo! I hope we get a season 2 of The acolyte or a spin off show focusing on Plagueis to give you more video to do a follow up tribute this or to add to a sith tribute. Great job as always.

Je vous adore ! Je n'ai pas regardé The Acolyte, mais votre vidéo est superbe !

[@ryankwon8785]

My theory is that Darth Plagueis will use Mae and Osha for his midichlorian experiments (dissect them) and use Venamis as a test subject. In other words, Plagueis will complete the cover-up on a more gruesome scale. This will culiminate in Plagueis and Sidious attempting to create a living embodiment of the Force only for the Force to strike back and create Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One. It is likely Qimir will live because it is hinted throughout Season 1 that he is the founder of the Knights of Ren. However, Qimir does not warn the Jedi similar to Maul due to how he hates the Jedi and wants them to be destroyed in the long run.

[@lordfoul6259]

That's my thought as well he's watching Qimir and Osha like their his experiment especially Osha

[@Erven777]

That is so good and interesting. Which is exactly why it 100% isn't going to happen. Which is disheartening.

[@lordfoul6259]

@Erven777 I'll say it again if Rings Of Power can get a second season then surely this can cause I read a lot more positive comments in reaction videos for this show than videos for the first season of Rings Of Power and plus even those who hated the show still watched all the episodes thus contributed to the viewership ratings

[@ryankwon8785]

@@lordfoul6259 If fans dislike canon, why are they still watching it? They should stick to the Legends timeline which is never part of the canon timeline to begin with. They are two separate timelines and fans cannot see the difference between the two. It’s a problem because it is shows that some fans, which sometimes includes me, are just hypocrites. If you ask some fans and they don’t know what Cortosis is, they obviously did not read the Legends novels. They join the hate train instead of fairly criticizing the show as some KZbinrs like Generation Tech and Star Wars Explained are doing. Those KZbinrs are fairly dissecting the shows to understand their stories and themes while the rest use butcher knives.

[@Erven777]

@@lordfoul6259 okay but what does that have to do with what I said? I didn't say it wasn't going to get a second season. I said that your idea was actually good so they wouldn't do it. Hell people who liked the show probably had a better episode 7 in their heads more then what the show actually gave us

Plagueis was right in the end: the Jedi limited themselves by perceiving any strong emotions as a possible path to the Dark Side. This made them emotionally stunted and limited their life experiences thus allowing for an easier and more rapid Fall. Anyone else agrees?
