Prompt Test Readiness: Describe the important ideas of the story
Introduction to Darth Plagueis
This week I recently started to read a Star Wars book called Darth Plagueis. This book has to do with the life of Darth Plagueis. This mysterious character has never been mentioned in the Star Wars movies and this shadowy figure is the master of Darth Sidious. In the Star Wars movies Sidious is the Emperor in the old movies. The prologue begins with Darth Sidious in a apartment in the planet Coruscant. Sidious is feeling a great sense of power and that's when the story truly begins. Darth Plagueis is with his master Darth Tenebrous and their goal is to take over the planet. There in a dark, shadowy cave and suddenly the giant rocks start to fall on top of them. The rocks trap Darth Tenebrous under the rumble and Plagueis has the to choice to save him or not. Plagueis decides to kill his master Tenebrous and as award he takes his lightsaber. Plagueis decides to go to his home world which Muunilinst so he secretly gets on board a ship.
Important Ideas from Darth Plagueis
I forgot to mention it in the introduction that Plagueis's main goal is to find the formula to immortality. One of the most important ideas in the book so far is that Plagueis is trying to find a way to live forever. Plagueis has been alive for over 80 years because in the book they say "I've been Tenebrous's apprentice as long as an average human might live". In my opinion I think that an average human lives about 80 or over. Plagueis mentions that if he accomplishes this goal he'll hold ultimate power that no other Sith lord has ever had. In the book so far Plagueis is the only Sith lord that still exists. The main idea behind this plan is that Plagueis wants to see the Jedi fall to their so that he can be the supreme ruler of the galaxy. Plagueis mentions that the only way he'll obtain immortality is by making sure that his new apprentice doesn't murder him.
Important Ideas Continued.....
The book Darth Plagueis has to do a lot with trust and negotiations. The biggest crime lords in the Star Wars universe are the Hutts. The Hutts are big slimy looking worms that have the most powerful empire in the galaxy. In the book Plagueis negotiates with the leader of the Hutts because he wants to keep them in peace with the Muuns. This is an important idea because in the summary of the book they mention that throughout the book Plagueis has to do a lot negotiations in order to keep himself alive. The reason that Plagueis wants to keep the Hutts peaceful is because he's afraid that they might try to assassinate him. The Hutts have dozens of bounty hunters at their disposal and Plagueis might not be powerful enough to handle all of them. The idea of trust plays a big role because Sith always mistrust themselves which eventually leads to their destruction.
I put a picture of the Greek gods of Olympus because they represent immortality. In the second paragraph I mention that Plagueis's main goal is to live forever so that he can be the ruler of the galaxy. Plagueis wants to fight the ultimate rule between life and death, but the question is will it lead to his destruction.
