  • Taken from chapter 9.
    In this excerpt, Plagueis takes this opportunity to meet Palpatine. A man who's been interested in him ever since he first heard about him. Plagueis learned that Tapalo had an informant in the rival campaign who provided him with vital information. His agents discovered that the informant was a seventeen-year-old student in the Legislative Youth Program called Palpatine, the son of the man who stood most fervently against Tapalo and his ilk, Cosinga Palpatine. Eager to know more about the young man, Plagueis convinced him when they met at the Legislative Program's Theed headquarters to give him a tour of the town in his prized speeder.
    "Palpatine."
    "How do you know my name?"
    "I know more about you than just your name."
    I love this little encounter.

    This one meeting permanently changed Palpatine forever. If there was never Darth Plagueis there would’ve never been Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine.

      Just like if Qui-Gon had never met Anakin.
      It's interesting to think of all the alternatives that could happen.

      I'm pretty sure the Acolyte, and a lot of alreadybestablosjed canon tbh, will end up contradicting a lot of the smaller details of this book
      But Plagueis is still a Muun and still Palpatine's master, so it's somewhat possible

      I think everyone who watched Monster or Hannibal felt the urge to befriend Johan Liebert or Hannibal Lecter, despite knowing what they truly are. As much as we fear the dark and know its dangers, there's still always something enticing about it.

      @@buntsbooks Thanks for posting snippets. By far my favourite StarWars novel. Too bad Disney made it legends and we will probably never get a decent story about Darth Plagueis. Would have preffered that the sequal trilogy revealed Snoke to have been Plagueis, fulfulling his desire to cheat death and wait to reveal himself after Palpatines death at the hands of Vader. That sequal trilogy would make a lot more sense then just randomly bringing back the Emperor for the 9th episode, there had been no forshadowing to Sidious return at all. Not in 7 nor 8, i remember watching the Force Awakens and thinking (about Snoke) that has to be Plagueis deformed from his assassination by Palpatine. But Plagueis ”death” was just part of his masterplan to rule the galaxy once Palpatine failed. Wich Im sure Plagueis knew would happen, being so wise as he was. This book and Episode 3 build him up to feel like an unseen menace hence the Phantom Menace. Just my opinion

      @@AdromedaJoel Np! Not only am I doing this for myself, but also for the Expanded Universe lovers. There aren't many individuals posting audiobook excerpts. The Expanded Universe isn't mentioned as much as the New Canon, which I guess is fine. It accomplished a tremendous deal, and most tend to agree with this assessment of the new Disney Canon.
      Also, this too is my favorite Star Wars novel.

    If Plaigueis was already 100 years when he met a 17 year old Palpatine. There is a strong chance that he was already an active sith during the twilight years of the old republic.
    May he'll appear in the upcoming Acolyte series. Only that can save this dead-on-arrival show!

    Plagueis would of been better off if he took Dooku as his apprentice instead of Sidious yeah Sids may have a higher potential then Dooku but Dooku has a much more similar vision to Plagueis plus Dookus potential is also a little higher then Plagueis if Plagueis saw Dooku even as a Jedi as insurance should Sids fail him in a big way while he did not see Maul, Sifo Dyas, Nor Qui Gon in that way. Plus much like Plagueis Dooku was also into learning the higher mysteries of the force as a Jedi And Sith and Plagueis also wanted to do away with the rule of two which I am sure Dooku would agree with I could still see Maul being the assassin for them although Dooku would not be as mean to Maul as Plagueis Nor Sidious were and would encourage Maul to also train Asajj and Asajj to train Grievous yeah.
