Palpatine's Training (Part 1) (Star Wars: Darth Plagueis)

Taken from chapter 12.
In this excerpt, Darth Sidious, the Sith moniker given to Palpatine, has just assumed the identity of Darth Plagueis. Plagueis is currently imparting to Sidious a lecture on what it means to be a Sith during this time.

Careful plagueis, sidious took your advice about every single person being a tool to advance himself to heart and made you a tool

[@scifiguy9000]

Plagueis: Wow, what a great story about family murder!!! Tell it again!!!
Palpatine: (freezing to death)

Palpatine training was harsh but maul traing is next level.
Starved and left on a planet with assassin droids is something

[@streetsdisciple0014]

Sidious learned everything though. Maul got crumbs compared to that.

[@FieldsOfUppland]

I mean, sidious endured the same kind of suffering. He was left on an arctic planet for days with barely any clothes and no food and being taunted by plageuis. And there was a difference between the two. Sidious was trained as a potential successor as the dark lord of the sith, or atleast an equal. Maul was never ment to be anything more then an assasin and attackdog. Sidious was put thru hell in the beggining to see if he could make it, then he was flung into the political arena with his masters help. Maul was never made privy to his masters plans, and he wasnt sharp enough to understand why.

One of my favorite parts of the book, honorable mention to the first interaction between darth sidious and nute gunnray

I'm sure Plagueis used force to maintain his body temperature.

5:40 bro called out anakin and a bunch of sith pretenders like dooku amd inquisitors

Sith training is next level. Yoda was incorrect in stating that the path of the Dark Side was quicker and easier. To merely use it in an angry moment, sure. But to master it? Far beyond anything a Jedi could do.

[@revanreborn7626]

Not necessarily. He was asked if the dark side was stronger. His answer was “not stronger… easier” on the foundation that emotion was much easier to draw from than tranquility, especially from a combative standpoint

[@Fact-fiend_1000ASMR.]

@@revanreborn7626 Fair point. Even so, I do feel that the Dark Side is stronger. A Sith Apprentice is comparable to lesser Jedi masters and a Master can only be challenged by an elite Jedi Master.

"15 in a millennia have been fit to wear the mantle of sith, opposed to the tens of thousands of jedi"

[@Fact-fiend_1000ASMR.]

@@cpob2013 I believe he said 30 in a millennium. Put the point remains.

[@streetsdisciple0014]

Yoda is a fool and i’m glad he & his order were humbled and humiliated.
Sith spent 1000 yrs in hiding while the Jedi sat in their ivory tower. Then it was the other way around.

[@pascalhicks4376]

Hadn't Sidious brought Maul to Mygeeto and taught him the similar lesson!?!?

[@homertonbloor8294]

I love this chapter it’s so cool

[@jeffcordova9633]
