Darth Plagueis Book Review. The one other novel i had read involved darth vader and darth sidious but that one had included other characters in a rebellion. I just finished darth plagueis by james luceno, published by del rey.
I found it to be a really rich expansion to the star wars universe. Losing it is the only thing he fears. I was left giddy after finding out the answers to mysteries i, as a fan, had pondered for over a decade.
The book not only chronicles the apprenticeship of sidious to plagueis but also touches on the relationship between plagueis and his own master darth tenebrous.
Before darth sidious (emperor palpatine), darth vader, or even darth maul, there was darth plagueis. I've only really been a star wars fan for about a year now (so i knew nothing of anything in legends), and this book is probably better than any of the canon books i've read so far. This book starts around 30 years before episode 1: The one other novel i had read involved darth vader and darth sidious but that one had included other characters in a rebellion.
