[@shadow15kryans23]

If we want to get into his potential, Plagueis was on the verge of Godhood: Plagueis was litterally said to be capable of any power during- Chapter 24 pg 283 Of the Darth Plagueis novel. And following nearby context they directly list, Flight, becoming invisible, and Teleportation acrost space and time just beforehand (when Plagueis was a student of Vanamis before realizing Vanamis was wrong and he was capable of anything) indicating he is capable of these things. Which alongside further context of things like- Chapter 5 pg 61-62 And Chapter 13 Pg 164 Directly indicates he became capable of "any power" even with knowledge of the ancient sith "Force supernova" that could destroy entire stars, and Nihilus consuming entire planets. 😂 And this is all backed up by him legit reaching out to impact all beings in existence at once using his power, and scaring away the force itself with them describing it "-as if it was in flight from him." during Darth Plagueis Novel Chapter 24 pg 283-284 ^ Which is comparable in scope to stuff Abeloth did (as in primarily Plagueis and Abeloth are the only ones who were said to have sent the force running from my knowledge LOL). And this is the same Novel that indicates the celestials merged with the force btw as seen in Chapter 15 pg 184. So Plagueis being capable of this without the Force Dyad, BY HIMSELF is insane In scope and almost “force celestial”-like. And in the Darth Plagueis Novel Prologue they'd describe his death as shaking the stars themselves across the galaxy further backing up these levels of power. In fact… Across the Novel in Chapter 29 title and events. Aswell as the Dark-Side beckoning Sidious to slay his master in the Darth Plagueis Novel Prologue (where his death is shown), just to “annoint” Sidious afterwards as if Sidious did something good. Suggests the Force itself, who is in a sense God for this verse, had to step in itself to finish Plagueis off. Which in this context included the Dark-Side stepping in to convince Palpatine to murder Plagueis. _________________ Conclusion: It seems Plagueis was on the verge of Godhood via bruteforce. So the Force itself orchestrated his murder. Bro got DM banned by the Force. 😂 And Plagueis is the only instance of this occurring IIRC. Plagueis: *Exists and terrifies the force* The Force: “Fuck that guy in particular” Soon after: *The Force makes Anakin to counter Palpatine, and then steps in to orchestrate Plagueis's murder*

[@shadow15kryans23]

Random Sidenote: If we count Extended Legends Canon such as "Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters". Then I guess Näkäsh the Father of Shadows is the closest other instance of this occurring. Bassically... Before the Celestials Merged into the Force (making up a majority of its powers nowadays in the process) they turned on this Father of Shadow Näkäsh to eliminate him. Very similar to how the Force Post Collective-Celestial Merger turned on Plagueis to eliminate him. That's as far as the comparisons go though and it's a bit of a stretch given vast time depths. And Honestly similar comparisons with Näkäsh can be made with Darth Nihilus, Dark Underlord, Corrupted Dande Sin, and Abeloth respectively (when including Extended Legends Lore ofc).

[@eds1942]

I believe you are reading into some of this too literally or convoluting somethings with others. In chapter 13, for instance; he is telling Palpatine was making himself desirable to lesser beings and once he has them, he will have any power he needs over them. And later, brings up ancient Sith Lords that were transformed into hideous images of their former selves by taking the “Lightning into themselves” and well as something about powerful Force imbued star ships (though I think that he was taking a Rakatan super weapons and Sith Meditation spheres and how such things were inferior to the true power of the Darkside). But, the ancient ship that was used to cause a stellar cluster to go nova, was enhanced with ancient Sith Force imbued devices which employed an array of Kyber crystals. But, Plagueis like many Sith, was arrogant and over confident. Which not only led to his demise, and that of Palpatine’s, but also cut Anakin’s potential in half, just as he was near about to surpass some of the most powerful Jedi of his time (which he eventually did anyway, but that was still less than half of what it could have been).

[@shadow15kryans23]

@eds1942 That chapter was just listed to show his knowledge of the beings mentioned. Your interpretation is completely valid, though technically. After all... It's up to the readers to do the interpretating. You are correct that Plagueis is certainly arrogant, though. Just "how" arrogant, aka how much is litteral, and how much is his ego speaking is where the interpretation comes in.

Somethings people need to get straight: 1) Sidious didn't plan on killing Plagueis that night. He didn't get him drunk on purpose. They were actually celebrating. Sidious in fact, was leaving the apartment, grabbing his cloak when a shiver ran down his spine as the Dark Side spoke to him. Only then, without planning did he resolve to kill him. 2) This mirrors Plagueis' own assassination of his master Tenebrous. He had not planned to kill him. But the gas explosion in the cavern offered him a chance and he took it. 3) At the time of TPM when Sidious killed Plagueis he was certainly not more powerful than his master. At the time Plagueis reckoned Dooku was as powerful as Sidious, and a better duelist. It is only after Sidious kills Plagueis that he grows in power considerably. However, by ROTS Sidious was more powerful than Plagueis had been, though not as knowledgeable. 4) Vader crippled as he was, was not at Plagueis' level, though was probably a better duelist.

[@Stalin1938]

I feel like Plagueis' appearance in the Acolyte was added in post due to the backlash they were getting. He is clearly all CGI and it just seems like a tacked on scene. Don't get me wrong, I like that we see him in live action finally, but I don't think he was suppose to make an appearance in the Acolyte story yet (probably figuring Disney might not get more seasons which is cause for hi earlier appearance).

[@Hello-bi1pm]

But was cortosis added later too??? This is clearly Bal'demnic from Plagueis novel, which they also moved in time, the timeline of this show is all kind of messed up

[@DanyTheMe]

Hard disagree. The show's themes are literally The Sith, The slow downfall of the jedi's golden era, and the ability of the force to create life. Thematically it seems pretty obvious that his inclusion was always intended. Not only did the promotional material hint at an important sith lord, but the show's first season makes a point to introduce so much EU stuff that hadn't been shown on screen yet, you'd be crazy to say the writers weren't interested in canonizing legends content from the start. By showing him for just one scene towards the end you don't have him derail Osha and Sol's story last minute while still letting the audience know he's been playing a secret hand in all of this. It also gives casual viewers the time in between seasons to learn about him and his significance to the expanded universe so that by the time he plays a bigger role in the next season casual fans can still appreciate the weight of the character.

[@williamwilliams4391]

While it is Palpatine's right and duty to kill his master and take the title of Dark Lord. It's such a shame that all of Plagueis' knowledge and power had been lost on his death. Though perhaps he was never truly the same since he was gravely wouned. I hope one day we get another glimpse of his wiseness.

Vader was nothing more than a sith enforcer. He wasn't particularly bright, had no real strategic ability or foresight, and was easily manipulated. He wasn't a Sith for very long (comparatively), and never showed any ambition to learn any of the subtleties of the force, partially by Sidious' design. He may have had more raw force potential, but never trained to use the majority of it. Plagueis would have ripped him to shreds and Palpatine could have ended him at any time.

Darth plaguis is the master chest player he wins battles by calculating the best outcome with nearly the ability to see the future but in a mathmatical sense more so.

It was good to see Darth Plagueis in the Acolyte 🔥 #RenewTheAcolyte

[@kdusel1991]

I hope they do a second season at some point. There are so many other loose ends to tie up!

[@Unxvailable-l-_IS_A_NONCE]

Its a sith legend...

[@markosrose1411]

The Legend of Darth Plagueis the lush.

[@edcliffe2988]

A fascinating Stih figure.

[@funny3272]

Disney Plus doing a Darth Plaguis Seasonal series like American Horror Story is needed.

[@jenniferpomotov8329]

Do you think you can give us power scaling videos on malgus, tulak hord, lumiya, and darth Krayt?

[@eminaslanozbek4639]

manipulated life, created the one of the darkest being galaxy ever saw, orchestrated the rise of the darkest days of republic. such glory, such wisdom.

[@alejandronunez5110]

I hope they dont mess Plagueis up,it might have been Legends but the story he already had was masterful imo

[@Whatinthefdoyouwant]

Did anyone not have chills but excitement to actually see him for the first time?. I dont think they need a second season.just leave creeper plagious

[@vitorpereira9515]

Call the Maladians assassins.

[@SoupyPoopy21]

Technically I got this part spoiled, but this encouraged me to check out acolyte. Idk wtf fans are complaining about, I thought it was awesome!!!! So thank you for giving me the final push 😊

[@lgbthc231]

In my own head cannon, Plagueis transferred his essence into Palpatine, where he would have influence in Palpatine’s eventual Project Necromancy, in an effort to build Plagueis a new and “perfect” body. Vader’s failure on Mustafaar is the catalyst for Plagueis to begin his contingency plan in which the newly formed galactic empire will meet its end, as well as Vader, so that he can start back at square one.

[@tronicman1]

I wish they made a series about Plagueis

[@kyle.s1592]

plagueis sounds like an extreme character so dark he could have started the sith

[@violator7964]

Yes, but that’s the one from the book. God knows what they’ll do with him in the show.

[@thepeoplesartist2863]

If Disney was smart they would make a Plagueis series or movie. I really don’t understand why they haven’t done it yet. It would be an instant hit $$$$

[@martintinajero9140]

I think plagues is one of the most interesting characters in Star Wars. I honestly can’t wait until they finally make a TV show about him and his apprentice Palpatine.

[@0errab0]

There's hope that We'll get to see more of Plagueis in Season 2 of the Acolyte.

[@scottyhehehe5367]

Man, I am so bummed about how Star Wars is in the hands of Disney and Kennedy. I'm telling you, guys, DO NOT give your $$$ to Deadpool & Wolverine. All Disney will do is use that $$$ to make more crap Star Wars.

[@rb_4359]

Most impressive. Arguably, Plagueis' only weakness was the lack of guile, which ultimately allowed Sidious to overthrow him - and which is still kind of surprising given that Plagueis was a top-tier banker and had almost the entirety of the Rule of Two lineage behind him. What brought him down was probably the characteristic Sith over-confidence - imagine how much of that must have a Sith Lord of Plagueis' caliber had..

[@SiegeYT]

i think the way theyre going with everything in acolyte the ritual that created anakin was either taken by plagueis from the witches in which he perfected it or the witches were servants of plagueis and almost perfected what he was attempting giving him the step he needed to perfect it but idk

[@michaelgundel8168]

Hi stupendous from the UK can you do a holocron on darth krayt.

[@orrenlilly5809]

Plageuis may have been the most powerful Sith of the Bane line. Plageuis had the ability to actually increase his midichlorian count.

[@samuellennon2204]

I would to hear more about Plagueis

[@Solidus92]

It would be great to see these levels of power represented in the movies or shows.

[@starapton5374]

I’m just glad to see my favorite Sith come back.

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

I'd love to see a power scaling video for Darth Malgus and Vitiate

[@AlexColeman-th4nw]

You should do Darth Bane next

[@DavidThomas-dy3kq]

Do a holocron on Darth Wyyrlok Darth Caedus Darth Nyriss power and ability

[@jamdoodles]

Kinda funny how the show seems to have introduced plagueis to the screen immediately after this channel talked about how the show should’ve introduced plagueis to the screen. Also I think it’s the first tv or movie incarnation of star wars that shows red lightsaber crystals being produced by dark side corruption

[@GQMofo]

Quick questions for you Wave, I'm not as knowledgeable about Plagueis as you and a lot of other people. But I have to ask, now that he showed up in The Acolyte, should we take what you said in this video as canon anymore? I'm thinking of getting the book about Plagueis to find out about his origins. But now that he's finally in live action, in a show that most people feel isn't canon, should I even bother getting the book at all?

[@mattkylie6723]

Darth Plaguis trembled when he saw Vader in force vison at his power and anger

[@WilkenWilkins]

Bro is not very wise working with Leslie Headland…

[@johncabaniss1628]

You may have already done this one, but i would like to see what yoda was like in his prime and how he became grand master

[@pixelgun4789]

Everyone knows, that Ancient Sith Lords would crush even Palpatine.

[@brentlashley2138]

You must remember that Tenebrous had Plageous bred to be stronger in the Force.

[@davisreid4902]

I just ordered the Darth Plageus novel. I’m excited to read it!!! I knew about Plageus before and it makes sense palpatine had to get him drunk and passed out to kill him

[@andrewgeorgecomeau4066]

Speaking of Plagieus' physical strength. When he killed the Zabrak by him hitting the wall. The Zabrak being spoken of had a broken spine and a caved in skull. I don't know how many people know how strong a Zabraks skull is ,but it's many times stronger than a humans so that alone says how hard he struck the wall.
