    Plagueis also had a more pragmatic view of what the empire would be for and what their co rule would have been like. His entire life centered on maxichlorian research and trying to undermine the fantasy of the force with analysis. He had no interest in politics. He viewed imperial unity as a means. So I actually believe he would despise the Death Star and view it as an unstable bludgeon in a universe meant to operate as it always had, but with he reaping the benefits. Sidious was the one preoccupied with military, fascist domination. At best, Plagueis would have tolerated it as a wasteful symbol and used it as such. His primary concern was always on removing the Jedi and furthering his control of the force itself, not the galaxy. Research he never completed that Sidious never learned, having to resort to old alchemy to preserve himself due to his obsession with literal political power.

      I think he would appreciate it and even use it as something like the tarkin doctrine-a tool of fear the death star’s use without using it. I don’t think he’d use it for wiping out civilians a la alderaan but he might have wiped out coruscant because of the jedi temple. He never wanted to be a butcher but instead a scientist and architect

    Plagius would have been intrigued by the power to destroy a world but only if he controlled the death star. Someone below him having that power would have enraged him. Imagine some careless warlord blowing up worlds with rare specimens or force forbid one of his labs.

    I think Plagueis would absolutely despise the Death Star, while he could totally get behind it's efficiency, that's where his praise would stop I believe as Palpatine said it best "I do not wish to rule a galaxy of the dead." Plagueis was a scientist before anything else, and no matter the field you can't share results and developments if everyone is dead.

      Thats not true lol,anyone who says that has never read the novel.''True to Muun psychology,Plagueis had never taken Tenebrous into his confidence''
      Plagueis never truly trusted anyone ,not even Sidious.The reason Plagueis died was because he believed himself to be immortal already.If you read the novel you s hould know that Plagueis d didnt defend himself on purpose believing that the damaged caused by force lighting would quickly dissapear because of his midichlorian healing.But in the end his respirator was damaged and he stopped breathing meaning thant his midichlorians wont have oxygen.

      @@Vskage65 I would have to disagree, Plagueis went as far as to call Sidious his partner by the end. That right there is evidence that Plagueis abandoned the rule of two and wanted to rule the galaxy with Sidious. That requires trust. Plus if he didn't trust Sidious, how is he gonna sit there and let Sidious get him drunk until he passes out in his penthouse leaving him vulnerable? That is rookie level right there and doesn't make sense.

Disney needs to re-canonize the entire novel, as well as the connect works: Maul Lockdown, the 2000 Darth Maul comic, and Darth Maul Shadow Hunter, then either make all 4 stories into a movie trilogy, 2 separate shows that cross over, or one BIG long show. Change a few particulars, and bring them in line with the current canon, like how Sidious found Maul, Maul being Mother Talzin's ACTUAL son, etc. Disney, do this YESTERDAY.

    I would give Sidious credit for killing Plagius due to the fact that the death star in his possession would mean the end of like sort of speak. However, those who are drunk on power are doom to die from it so either way, the way I see it, its a lose/lose situation for both Sidious and Plagius.

    Is the Death Star's destructive power truly insignificant when compared to the power of the Force itself?
    Knowing how the Force can be creative when establishing balance, I agree they would have used it to challenge the Force's capability to maintain balance itself by destroying all planets strong with the light side.
    It does make you wonder, if you destroy a planet with a very strong affinity for the light side, will it create an even stronger light side nexus where the world once was? How would the force lash back against the Sith (this time)? Would it be able to bring an effect within the living kyber crystal powering the Death Star's weapon in order to destroy it? Could the Force itself, be even more creative?

  • @venkelos6996
    @venkelos6996 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, I have to say I agree with this. The technical-minded likes of Plagueis and Tenebrous would have loved the Death Star, and it's ability to "get rid of problems". I'd say it's actually slightly beneficial that Sidious specifically had the mindset of wanting to rule an empire, and not one of the dead.
    So, I had a vaguely related thought. Other episodes on this channel have discussed how, regardless of the fact that there is a Dark Side, and it's SUPPOSED to exist, the Force itself doesn't like the Sith; its avatars of the Dark Side, and we have even seen the Force snap back against the likes of Plagueis, when he seemingly overstepped his bounds, and it acted to try and limit the consequences of what he did.
    In this way, would the Force, whether the Dark Side, or the whole of it, have actually ALLOWED Plagueis to master immortality, as he sought it? There were things one could do, that Damask didn't favor, but even essence transfer, and some limited body manipulation, were merely stop gaps to literally not dying. We talk about if Plagueis had gad a little more time, he'd have been immortal, but is that true? COULD he have grappled with the Force successfully, and achieved his lofty goal, or would the Force itself have done something to intervene? Maybe it did; it whispered to Sidious to kill him, and Sidious didn't know everything Plagueis knew, so even being similarly obsessed with eternal life, the Emperor wasn't going to achieve that goal readily. Still, when the Sith Lords tried to actually bend the Force, it retaliated. Would it here?
