In fact, it’s the backstory that I thought Anakin had until the prequels came out. And his story wasn’t at all what I thought it would be. One delightful surprise was seeing Palpatine as a teen. In fact, it even goes into quite a lot of detail about what Darth Plagueis learns about the prolonging life through dark side which ironically, his apprentice doesn’t learn. For example, it goes into a little more detail of midi-chlorians and what they are. There were so many interesting revelations that gave some new meaning to a few of the elements from the prequels. It sucked you in with it’s eery tone and deep thoughts. I knew right away it would be filled with awesome backstory from the prequels and I wasn’t disappointed. When I first saw this book at the store, I was beyond excited to read it. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent his own death, for in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed in his sleep by his apprentice. Plagueis was a Sith Lord so wise and powerful, that he could even manipulate the Force to create life or stop death in others. In Revenge of the Sith, while attending a ballet, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine casually mentions to Anakin Skywalker the tale of Darth Plagueis.
