James Luceno's Darth Plageuis Cover Revealed!

Ah, yes, I dropped that series after book one. I heard something about a great ancient evil hiding in The Maw driving people mad, but the whole set-up with Daala in charge and the Jedi disgraced, Luke gimped and the boring story line of book one sapped all my interest. Did they use the power of love to defeat Dark Side Cthulhu?

Yeah, definitely. I'm not a huge fan of Salvatore's books, but it's ridiculous how a lot of fans reacted to Chewbacca's death in Vector Prime. And the original idea was to kill off Luke! Can you imagine how much worse the backlash would have been then?
Some nut would had commited suicide.
I'm super excited about this. Darth Sidious is by far my favorite Star Wars character and I can't wait to learn more about his and Plagueis' past.
That having been said, I don't have a problem with Plagueis being the same race as the Banking Clan. I'm just happy he's not a fucking Twi'lek.

Since I've spent the last five and a half years explaining what Dark Lord said about Plagueis on other sites, including to people who had supposedly read the book, this release is going to be MUCH FUN.
What are you referring to?

Mainly the issue of whether or not Plagueis ever achieved the power to "cheat death".
^ I always took that as part of Palpatine's lies to manipulate Anakin to the death. Using his vision of Padme as the trigger he told him the story of his master to lure him over to the dark side. It is probably the one thing that Palpatine was waiting for to fully lure Anakin over and he jumped at the chance. I agree, it will be interested to see if it was just words or Plaguieus actually could manipulate the Force.
well in rots palpatin said the plaguieus was so strong in the force the he could create life from it as well stop loved ones from dying. could annie be a creation of plaguieus and his mother a former loved one sold into slavry after his death?

What did the book say on it? I read it but not since it's original release and don't recall.
@timothy you completely missed the point of my post.
^ Read my post again and you'll see that I wasn't speculating on what Palpatine said Darth Plagieus could do or who he was, I was saying that what he said to Anakin was a lie.
Dark Lord said:
The book Death Star had a similar statement: that Plagueis did not find a way to "preserve the immortal ego".
Admiral Young said:
In the scenario described by Luceno's Dark Lord above, nothing Palpatine says to Anakin at that point in the film is technically a lie.
Admiral Young said:
Plagueis most likely could manipulate the Force in various ways, having been a powerful Sith by all indications. The OS claims: Plagueis, the wise, was an adept of some of the most arcane and unnatural applications of the Force. He probably possessed the life-creation power, even if he did not use it to create Anakin.

There's a curious bit in the New Essential Chronology book that says Plagueis did create Anakin and that Palpatine was fully aware of this. However the same book also said that he sent Maul to Tatooine because of Anakin, not because of the Jedi and the Queen as the film seems to imply.
Unfortunately I do not have the book with me so I can't exactly give the right citation.

Vader: The Ultimate Guide said that Plagueis created Anakin. On the other hand, Lucas said that it was up to the audience to decide in Rolling Stone.
No can do, I can't go for that. Voren Na'al was on some serious spice.
Palpatine doesn't seem to know anything about Anakin prior to the Battle of Naboo. Of course, had Palpatine been revealed as the creator of Anakin as in an early draft of ROTS, that would have been "retconned", so to speak... but since he ultimately wasn't confirmed as such, that leaves room for it to have been Plagueis, whose creation of Anakin could easily have gone on behind Palpatine's back.

I don't recall that the chronology actually said that. I believe that it suggested that. I'll have to go back and read it to find out.
