Prompt Miscellaneous: Describe the most important event
So Far in Darth Plagueis
In my last blog I mention that Darth Plagueis was negotiating with some crime lords. After the meeting Plagueis hears someone lurking outside of his apartment. Plagueis discovers that it has to be some sort of Jedi or possibly another Sith lord. He takes out his red lightsaber and he attacks the stranger. They have a short fight when Plagueis realizes that this stranger is a Sith lord named Darth Venamis. Darth Venamis was Tenebrous's secret apprentice, but Plagueis couldn't care any less so he decides to knock him out. The secret Sith lord is taken to a laboratory in order to maintain his health and force support. Plagueis decides when the time is right he might take on Venamis as his new Sith apprentice. The wise Sith lord goes to a meeting with some senators from his home planet. The point of going to this "meeting" is to hear a person's point of view of the Sith. At the end it didn't satisfy him so he decides to kill the speaker without anyone realizing the murder.
The Most Important Event in Darth Plagueis
I haven't finished the book yet but in these few chapters a lot of important events take place. The events that take place have to do a lot with Plagueis's new Sith apprentice and future events that might affect the galaxy. There are elections for a new king going on in the planet Naboo and Plagueis wants to make sure that one of the candidates doesn't win. Plagueis goes to another meeting with his fellow friends and Banking Clan members. One of the candidates in the election is a named Cosinga Palpatine. In order to make sure that this man doesn't win they decide to make Cosinga's son Palpatine their spy. They decide to sent Plagueis to negotiate with Palpatine so he can learn more about Naboo. Plagueis arrives at Naboo and he is greeted by many people and they even offer him a free dinner. Plagueis refuses the dinner because he states that he hates eating while he's negotiating. This is only Part 1 of the important event.
Part 2 of the Most Important Event
After Plagueis arrives he decides to go looking for Palpatine. He searches far and wide but the sixteen year old is nowhere to be seen. Plagueis goes to the library where the front desk lady tells him that Palpatine is currently in a Youth Program. Later Plagueis finds this "program"and he calls out Palpatine. A young man turns around and says"How do you know my name" but Plagueis mentions"I know more about you than just your name". Plagueis tells Palpatine that he needs to spy on Cosinga Palpatine. Palpatine finds it quite amusing spying on his own father and after that meet-greet Plagueis and Palpatine turn into very good friends. Cosinga later finds out about this meeting so he prevents Palpatine to talk with Plagueis. Cosinga takes his whole family including Palpatine away from Naboo. Palpatine grows into anger and he kills his own family, while Plagueis waiting for him in the spaceport. Plagueis decides to make Palpatine his new Sith apprentice and he gives Palpatine the name "Darth Sidious. Overall the important event was that Plagueis found his new apprentice.
I put a picture of a master and apprentice because it symbolizes the relationship between Plagueis and Palpatine. In this book a master and apprentice represents a new era and a new beginning. Plagueis decides to make Palpatine his new apprentice because they have a lot in common. In my opinion I think apprenticeship means friendship.
This week I will comment on Steven, Jenna, Jesus R. Blogs.
This sounds like a challenging read. It sounds interesting though. I really enjoy your blog and the way you summarize the books you read. They're fully detailed but not enough to spoil the whole book. Once again, amazing blog post. Also, why did you choose to read this book?
