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.

Well, I was about to spout my discontent , but being the threads above applaud to book- and I haven't actually read it(nor did I have an intention to) I respectfully defer to your approval of the book and will thus remain silent.

Phuque that! I don't give a sh** about this LOSER 'Sidious' OR HIS inconsequential past.

Able to control midi-chlorians ? Killed him in his sleep?

Midi-chlorians! The whole concept of midi-chlorians is a flawed screenplay devise fundamentally!

Kinda like the 'virgin' birth of Anakin.

Oh Mr. Plinkett.. where are you!

So what alien race is Plagueis?

Because according to what I remember about the Thrawn trilogy and expanded universe (I haven't read a Star Wars book sine the Vong invasion stuff) the Empire was rather harsh to aliens and non-humans in general. It seems odd that Sidious/Palpatine would've hated aliens given that his own Sith Master was an alien??

I'll tell you, the best thing about 'SW: Return of the Jedi' WAS the emperor!

Ian McDiarmid's performance as Palpatine was exceptional!
He should have received an Oscar for it! It's memorizing.

Bought the audio book last night. The sound effects enhance the imagination.

Trailer would have been better if it made it all the way to "...not, from a Jedi"

Plagues looks Neimodian or Duros with little eyes in the artwork.

@NeoBaggins Plagueis was actually muun, like the banking clan aliens from episode two

Hell yes! Cannot freaking wait to read this.

Just finished Fate of the Jedi: Outcast yesterday. Picking up Outcast tomorrow.
Anyone else read that series, or the Legacy of the Force series?

Those books are also amazing.

@GrandWrex Ah, I see. I might get this on audio. Wonder if Sifo-Dyas is in it.

@Gmoney84
From what I remember picking up from the Wookipedia profile on Palpatine awhile back, Palpatine was bigoted against all non-humans because of the way Plagueis treated him as his apprentice.

The "Rule of two" crap stops me reading any more golden age Sith stories, if one Sith was able to hide from all the Jedi in the prequels and cloud their use of the force then why the hell only have a rule of only two?

@ NeoBaggins - Sifo-Dyas is explained in detail.

@Ceejay: That issue is addressed/explained in the Legacy of the Force series. I believe it was Fury, or Inferno.
It's been about a year since I read those books, but there's a lot about the Sith that is brought to light.
