Does he carry the spirits of all the sith before him? My understanding is that each time an apprentice strikes down their master in anger, the spirit of the master passes into the apprentice.

Sorry for some reason the title of my thread was deleted. It should say “What did Sidious mean by ‘I am all the sith’”

The novel implies that essence transfer was something that Plagueis had discovered/invented, and passed on to Palpatine alone:
quote:
Palpatine's very own apprentice had turned against him, the way he himself had turned against Plagueis...whose secret to immortality he had stolen. Plagueis had not acted fast enough in his own moment of death. But Sidious, sensing the flickering light in his apprentice, had been ready for years.

[...]

The transfer was imperfect, and the cloned body wasn't enough. Perhaps Plagueis was having the last laugh after all. Maybe his secret remained secret.

There is no indication that any other Sith(aside from them) was capable of doing this.

But the novel also makes it clear that Palpatine was indeed channeling the power of every Sith before him...
quote:
Palpatine raised his perfect, healed hands, and called on all the dark power of the Force and the Sith who had come before him, and pulled their life from their very bodies.
quote:
A scavenger girl is no match for the power in me. I am all the Sith!
quote:
And it was through that eventual union, unexpected as it was, that Rey was born. The perfect vessel. Strong enough to contain all the power of the Sith.


However, it does not tell us *how* he managed to accumulate said power.

That he is the pinnacle of the Sith Order=strongest of all.

The novel seems to contradict this opinion tho.

He was literally all the Sith.

Yep so the novel confirms that Sidious is literally all of the sith:

"Kill me and my spirit will pass into you. As all the Sith live in me. You will be empress. We will be one."
