1.) The "death" of Darth Maul in TPM?
2.) The death of Count Dooku in ROTS?
3.) Anakin becoming a cyborg that was a mere shell of his former self?
4.) The destruction of the first Death Star?

MythLord
3.

Definitely not 2, since that was planned. Death Star can be rebuilt and was. Anakin > Maul, so 3.

3

3, though he was not immediately displeased as he seems plenty gleeful at the end of RotS.

4.

This was covered in canon to an extent...

Regarding the Death Star:

-Darth Vader #1


Regarding his Apprentices:

-Darth Vader #20



If I were to order the list from greatest loss to least, it would be: 3, 4, 1, 2... Though 3 & 4 could be interchangeable, depending on your interpretation of the scenes. /shrug

Man...I still cannot help myself from getting annoyed, that they let Tagge survive the DS destruction...only to kill him anyway.

Beniboybling
Tagge ain't that great lol, being killed by Vader made him a much better character than he ever was before.

Galan007
Yeah, Tagge was basically just a plot-device used to help flesh-out Vader's fall from Palpatine's graces... And his eventual climb back to the #1 spot.

Well yeah, cause he wasn't really given any chance to. I dunno, I just find it kind of cheap. It seemed he was just there, felt like it didn't really matter who it was tbh. I was kinda curious if they were gonna do something great with him, cause he was the only one that survived that had been a high ranking officer on the DS, but guess not.

He was displeased when he saw Vader on the lava shore, lol. He was happy at the end of RotS because he knew that Vader was his forever from that point on.

He's angry in the main novel as well. And of course he wants Vader to live, but he's not happy about the fact that Vader's ****ing maimed and never going to reach his potential.

3, 4, 1 and 2.

DarthAnt66
4, 3, 1, 2.

I never said as much. As for the novel, where is it implied Sidious is angry?

Rather it says this when Sidious first sees armored Vader:

RotS Novelization
It was glorious.
A magnificent jewel box, created both to protect and to exhibit the greatest treasure of the Sith.
Terrifying.
Mesmerizing.
Perfect.

3 or 4

Certainly wasn't Dooku. He didn't seem too upset lol

I said he was pissed when he saw Vader on the lava bank, not on the operating table. The novel doesn't offer as much as I thought it did, though it does mention Sidious "roaring" to his clones to bring the medical capsule immediately with an exclamation mark.

Nor did I ever suggest that you did. As for him yelling, that alone does not suggest anger there are many reasons why one would yell an order.

SunRazer
That's fair. I was expecting more from the novel, in any case.

Palpatine: "Darth Tyranus... He was a Proton Torpedo. He served his purpose and was gone."

Darth Thor
^ The question is if he regretted that decision at all once Vader was maimed. But apparently not. Dooku was too old and not as powerful as even a maimed Vader would be a few years down the line.

SunRazer
Tyranus' death was the only one (out of these four) that Palpatine orchestrated. Of course it wouldn't upset him.

He was cumming the moment Anakin defeated Dooku so Idk why it's on here

Anakin for sure, his ultimate prize was damaged almost beyond repair

Again my point is when he orchestrated it, Anakin wasn't maimed. So there is the chance he might have regretted that decision after Anakin/Vader's injuries. But doesn't seem like it.

SunRazer
Doubt it. As you said, even suit Vader had more potential than Dooku.

True

Definitely 3, followed by 4.

I don't think losing Maul affected him that much, tbh. The moment he met Anakin or at least sensed his presence alongside Qui-Gon, he probably stopped caring as much as he did about Maul's place by his side.
