Star Wars®: Darth Plagueis

In Star Wars®: Revenge of the Sith, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker are attending a ballet when Palpatine casually remarks, “Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?” A mysterious figure to the Jedi, Plagueis was a Muun, a species endowed with long life, and he would spend his own in pursuit of an obsession: the key to immortality. So knowledgeable did this Dark Lord become that he could even manipulate the Force to create life or prevent others from dying. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent, or even foresee, his own death. For in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed in his sleep by one who was taught everything he knew—his apprentice.

“Is it possible to learn this power?”
“Not from a Jedi.”

Palpatine told the captivating tale to start certain wheels spinning in the Chosen One’s head. Ever since then, Star Wars® fans have been clamoring to know more about the legendary Dark Lord. With Star Wars®: Darth Plagueis, author James Luceno fulfills their command, delving into the secrets of the dark side to find out more about Darth Plagueis and the apprentice who would one day seize control of the galaxy itself.
