One of the things I did enjoy about Revenge Of The Sith was Palpatine (or "Darth Sidious" who would of course become The Emperor) relating part of the tale of Darth Plagueis to Anakin. I thought it sounded like a great story since anything to do with the origins of The Sith always piqued my interest. Well now in a new novel James Luceno will go into more detail, while also telling the early history of Palpatins - how he came to be a Sith Lord, how he entered politics, and how he first came to train Darth Maul. Here is the trailer ad, featuring some of the footage described above, along with glimpses from both previous prequel movies too.

I find it hilarious that Hayden Christensen can actually make the delivery of the single word "no" sound awful. Anyway, ol Lucas may be retired but you can be assured that these expanded universe novels will keep going. Darth Plagueis will be available from Monday the 20th of January in all good book shops.
