Darth Plaguies was one of the characters in the star wars universe that had really peaked my interest ever since his all to brief mention in Episode 3, and this book gives me all the detail I want about the character leading right up to a certain point of the Star Wars saga (I'm not saying what part so is not to spoil anything. What's interesting is that in may ways I actually found Sidious to be the far more interesting character in this book, from his introduction all the way up to the conclusion. That is not to say that Plagueis isn't a great character but at least in my opinion he wasn't even the focal point of the book. None of this stops the book from being enjoyable, interesting and absolutely essential for those who are fans of the Star Wars saga. The timeline that this book spans alone should really make this required reading, especially if you have somehow not seen Episode 1 read this first than check out the movie, it adds so much to the movie that could easily be seen as a weak entry into Star Wars lore.

Doppelganger I very much agree with your comments in regards to Episode 1. I re-watched the movie after reading this book and it added a LOT to it.


John For sure. I plan on watching soon, which isn't that different from a normal week but now it has a purpose.


Doppelganger Let me know how it changes your experience! In addition to knowing more back story, you can even place Plagueis in between scenes and know about when he was killed in movie.
