A lot of you dont realize that anakins ascension to darth vader was part of the force's plan to bring balance to the force. George Lucas confirmed this when denouncing the sequel trilogy. He says "Many people mistake that Luke is the chosen one who defeated the sith, but in reality Luke only aided Anakin to defeat the sith, but balance meant destroying the jedi order too, therefore, despite the empire and vader's atrocities, balance was still brought to the force by Anakin" Im heavily paraphrasing but basically anakin was the one who killed palpatine, not luke

From what I have heard, Plaguis seems more inquisitive of Anakin than fearful of him. He might have been able to feel the great potential of the force in Anakin. I believe that he would strike a friendship with the boy and try to learn as much of him as possible. Being a businessman in the public spotlight he might have gone to Tatooine and brought Semi into his service to see if there were any effects from the force-induced birth. He might have a meeting with Qi-Gon, but instead of a sword duel they would hammer an agreement: they would train Anakin in the ways of both the light and dark together so as to make Anakin a balance in the living force. This would allow Plaguis to see how the force acts and reacts as Anakin grows in his training and to give him a better understanding of whether or not he caused the force to create the boy in response to his studying and pushing the limits of his own power and abilities.

So you could argue that Palpatine became a Sith master while Plagieus was stil alive and Plagieus got another apprentice. But Plagieus was killed by his apprentice in his sleep, this apprentice being Palpatine. So, in between the Phantom Menace and The Revenge Of The Sith, Palpatine became Plagieus his apprentice again and killed him?! And somewhere before or after that he also aquired Count Dooku as an apprentice?!

Balance means zero siths. Like in your life do you balanced when you have bad and goods things happen to you?

[@sykeassai]

I may be wrong but so correct me if I am, but these are a few things I have picked up over the years. Yoda's Prophesy many hundreds of years prior said there would be one who would bring balance to the Force. Possibly one conceived by the Force itself? The Jedi took this to mean that the force would be out of balance but were too nieve to consider themselves as part of the problem. For a long time, the Jedi were unopposed because the Sith had gone into hiding. I suspect that Plagueis, while he had a plan and was a really powerful Sith master was considerate of his actions and likely a lot wiser than Sidious/Palpatine. I understood that Palpatine killed Plagueis when he thought he was now better than Plagueis. In Hindsight Plagueis was a lot wiser still. But unfortunately was killed by his impetuous student who didn't have the same foresight. Plagueis, as Palpatine said was able to create and sustain life due to his immense connection and control of the force. As for the Prophesy, it is my understanding that while people have but the legacy on Anakin Skywalker, I believe he is not directly the one. Arguably that he and Luke together might be the One to create Balance. Another theory is that the 2 of them together paved the way for Rey to be the One. She upholds the principle of the Jedi while coming from sith heritage. Rey, much like Asoka and the Bendu before, is likely to seek a middle ground. And as the last one left (we assume) trained in the way of the force. She has become the Balance with neither side holding any power.

Henry Tims that is kind of true but he had a point there isn’t a lot going on in the sequel trilogy while in the prequels there is always something different and new. the sequels feels just like the ot redone

[@gutz1981]

I still say Plagueis was the one who created Anakin as the true counter to destroy Palpatine as he forseen the rise of the Empire and perhaps even his own death. Plus, Palpatine himself in ROTS says "To cheat death is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret." That right there pretty much seals it for me. Plagueis created Anakin and Palpatine wanted to discover that secret, hence why he wanted Anakin and why he kept him by his side for so long. And in RoS it seems as though he may have gotten his wish.

[@idiotman666]

Had the opposite effect on me and is one of the main reasons I will never buy another star wars novel.

There can be only a master and an apprentice. The Rule of 2. Created 1000s of years before this time period. Palpatine changes this rule after becoming Emperor...this is why there are not a bunch of sith running around like Jedi.

[@cadentubeohara3970]

Plagueis would most likely just act like a kind man to anakin like palpatine does but not to turn anakin to the dark side he would just do it to see the boy for himself to feel the force and if it’s strong with anakin and when he finds out that the force was strong with anakin he would get palpatine to slowly try to get anakin to join the dark side of the force

[@Riggy2201]

Plagueis is an excellent book. But as far as I'm concerned it's very clear in the book that plagueis accidentally created anakin during his meditations. Something he realises when he finally sees anakin and has powerful visions. He intended to tell sidious that they will need to alter their plans, but realising that sidious was going to betray him, he duped sidious into killing him. He's a serious monastic ascetic dedicated to understanding the force, with extraordinary mental and physical force control. The idea that he can be intoxicated on wine and distracted by sidious's small talk at such an epic moment is unrealistic (his visions had shown him that this was not the final ultimate victory he was designing - something he didn't share with sidious - and sidious himself couldn't hardly believe how easy killing plagueis was either). Plagueis never actually died, but that story will probably never be correctly told now after these recent disastrous Disney movies.
