The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise

  • So here’s a fun story (that the Jedi wouldn’t tell you). I’m a fan of DuduFilm’s work and have been wanting to do a video in that style for a while. Recently, they did one called Darth Sidious - Cleansing Fire and I loved the Audiomachine song Can’t Go Back used in it. My idea was a Palpatine-centered video that would have been called King of the Beasts from the line that appears in the Darth Plagueis novel. I actually finished editing the almost-three-minute video and them start to think that the last half or so would be better as more of a Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise-themed video.
    I go back to the drawing board and decide to do this video. It’s considerably more ambitious, but I also end up cannibalizing significant parts of that first video into this one. The music is different, but I used a lot of the same quotes with the same video clips. That makes this the first video I’ve ever done that actually has a prototype that will never see the light of day.
    Maybe I’ll eventually go back and do a proper version of the King of the Beasts video. There were some good parts that just didn’t fit the theme of this one. Still, I can’t complain too much. I rather did like how this came out.
    If you are interested in seeing the full-sized version of the thumbnail I used for this video, you can find it here:

    The story of Plagueis and Palpatine told in ‘Star Wars: Plagueis’ is, in my opinion, the best story ever told in Star Wars. It’s so multifaceted - the background of the corruption and rot of the Republic, the ease with which the Sith under Darths Tenebrous & Plagueis could infiltrate and operate at the heart of the galaxy, the arrogance and naïveté of the Jedi who never suspected the Sith could ever return, the background of Palpatine whose youthful determination to make a mark on the galaxy for good masks a powder keg of sinister Machiavellian ambition carefully nurtured and exploited by Plagueis, and Palpatine’s own megalomania seeing him rise through the ranks of power in the Republic on his way to destroy it from within. That’s what the Phantom Menace should have been about, and its a crying shame that the amazing story of Palpatine’s master is remembered by most Star Wars fans as nothing more than an overused meme.

    Top tier editing. The characters you pan to during Sidious’ ending monologue are incredible. While Sidious talking about Plageuis’ strengths, you show Him manipulating Anakin and fighting Yoda. Then when he’s talking about Plageuis’ foolishness in thinking they’d broken the Rule of Two, it shows Dooku and his similar beliefs. Sidious manipulated master and apprentice alike and both had lain dead at his feet, by his hand or his word.

    but still, i don't believe sidious when he says at the end that he has been planting ideas in his masters mind and that hey was the mastermind all along. half the book is written from palpatines pov yet never did it imply any of what he claims when he is all powerdrunk at the end. even the killing of his master happened from his pov and he literally turned to leave when plagueis was passed out only to turn around and realise due to whispers of the dark side that this is his best chance to ever kill his master. and then when he is killing plagueis he suddenly claims to have been manipulating plagueis since the start and that it was all to his designs. i don't buy it.

    • @Electricboa

      Palpatine is egotistical and arrogant enough to lie about it for his own self-aggrandizement.
      That being said, there are some things you can point to it imply it being true. First, it’s intended to be a kind of reveal, so telling us way back would defeat the purpose. And we are given plenty of scenes were it’s a neutral perspective, like when Plagueis chokes Palpatine. Second, just because a scene is from Palpatine’s perspective, doesn’t mean we’re told all his thoughts. Cloak of Deception, also written by Luceno, has a bunch of scenes from Palpatine’s perspective that don’t acknowledge or even imply that he is Sidious. If anything, it goes out of its way to separate them.
