To cheat death...

Palps told Anakin that Plagieus taught his apprentice this art, however after he turns to the Dark Side he then said that they would learn to this power together. WTF did Palps just use that as a ploy to seduce Anakin to the DS? Anakin got PUNKED!

He could have simply meant that Plag was the only one who had actually done it and that Sid hadnt yet. I dont see Sids having many loved ones to save. 😛

point well taken
