    I love how Palpatine's voice slowly morphs into his Sidious voice by the end as he finally claims his throne as THE Sith Lord. Props to the guy playing him. He may not be Ian McDiarmid himself, but he puts his own delightful spin on it.

      The Sith Master/Apprentice structure is learning and pushing each other as the master has to make sure he stays unattainable to be defeated by the student while also training him to do so. Sidious cheated Vader of this after Vader lost to Obi, tried to find new apprentices against him, and challenged him to get out of his depression and turn it more into anger.

      @@blackeagle041 Strength in the Force does not mean you could win. If Palps was an idiot, it wouldn't matter how strong he was. Now if she prepared some trap on the battlefield and held back a skill until the right moment, that is cunning. Bane wanted the title wrenched away from the master in battle. Yes, that is flawed because as the Plagueis novel flat out says, most Sith weren't willing to lay down and die in battle then train another so they could do the same. He lambasted Kaan for thinking of the greater good but Bane was almost Jedi, wanting to die if he was to weak. In a way I can see why. Marshal skills are still important. Sidious was one of the best with the lightsaber and Force but how much better could he have been with years of combat experience or at least the satisfaction of killing Plagueis in a fight. Think about it. Sidious's first battle with a Jedi master was with Windu and the gang. Maybe unrecorded, he dispatched a knight or 2 but not much more than that. Maul was powerful but not as much as Sidious. As Rex said to Ahsoka experience outranks everything. In the political arena, Palps is a grand master but in a fight, master at best. Other Jedi don't have the chance to regularly fight with Force users either like in the Sith Wars. In that way, they are all somewhat novice with Sidious's power and interlect seeing him through. If he'd fought in the Force wars, he would've been even more powerful.

He would have the droids and clones turn on the Jedi, and make it seem like the Jedi are the true threat to peace in the galaxy. He could then install Dooku as his puppet emperor. He would then use his vast wealth to develop a planet-killing weapon. I think he would be much more cautious than Sidious. He would only reveal the weapon when his power was truly threatened. Plageuis would essentially be an immortal dark lord ruling from the shadows, similar to vitiate.

    I want to believe in canon that Plagueis the wise is still out there. Not only because he's meant to be wise, but it's the best way to set the scene that there are more powerful dark side users than Sidious without making him a complete joke. It's also beautiful to think that while Sidious outplayed Plagueis he was also being outplayed himself. it sets the scene for a great rivalry. If Disney were smart they'd have made the movies about whispers of Plagueis returning to punish Sidious and a war between them. It would make far more sense why Sidious needed an empire then, because he knew Plagueis was still potentially alive.

    Palp seems smart enough to know his style of ruling would have lead to rebellion. Had he just allowed some freedom and growth in its people, he would still be ruling, and we would have been spared those awful sequel movies.

    Being able to hide himself in the Force from the Jedi AND from Plaugeis shows how the dark side has "installed" him as Sith'ari. The Rule of Two was antagonistic, designed to produce the ultimate vessel to dominate a galaxy. Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious was the peak. He evolved beyond definition and simply embodied the dark side.

    Odd the Sith Lords were accusing Plagueis for violating the rule of 2 through, the person who was intent on eliminating it completely.
