Star Wars: Darth Plagueis [Hardcover] reviews:
- Plagueis, Sidious, and Maul - a great back-story
Let me initial say that my copy of Darth Plagueis is an advance copy obtained through the Amazon Vine program. The book isn't scheduled to be officially released till January 10, 2012. The wait are well worth it.
James Luceno's Star Wars books have continuously been among my favorites, and Darth Plagueis also ranks high on the list. This was a much-anticipated book, and it delivers beautifully. Star Wars fans have thirsted for additional info concerning Darth Plagueis ever since the memorable scene at the Squid Lake performance by the Mon Calamari Ballet in Revenge of the Sith when Palpatine tells Anakin the story of The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. He succeeds in introducing to Anakin the idea of creating or extending life through manipulation of midi-chlorians.
Now, Mr. Luceno has given us the back-story we needed. we are introduced to Darth Plagueis' history, and that we get to see how he connected with Palpatine and gradually turned him into Darth Sidious. we are introduced to Darth Maul. The attention-grabbing times just never stop. The book has a nice deal of technical info concerning the Sith and concerning the Force, an enormous quantity of political intrigue, and some outstanding action scenes. Mr. Luceno will a wonderful job of expanding things that we initial saw within the films.
I may prolong, however I expect that you simply get the idea that i prefer the book. Darth Plagueis mustn't be missed.
Star Wars: Darth Plagueis [Hardcover] Description:
He was the most powerful Sith lord who ever lived.
But could he be the only one who never died?
“Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise that he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.”
—Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith
Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived. Possessing power is all he desires. Losing it is the only thing he fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. And when the time is right, he destroys his Master—but vows never to suffer the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power . . . over life and death.
Darth Sidious: Plagueis’s chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith, while publicly rising to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.
Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination—and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?
