No. Plagueis was afraid of death, as he was extremely old himself, spending the VAST majority of his time meditating, in stark contrast to Revan, who humbled the republic, the mandalorians, and the true Sith. Also, this match is fairly stupid. You are comparing arguably the most powerful Sith Lord versus a doddering old man that was killed in his sleep?
True...Revan would have this one. Take it from me...I am Darth Plagues... 😛
Reasons: We don't even know how great of a swordsman Darth Plagueis was. He had to have some lightsaber skills of course, but how good were they? Does anyone have a pic of the this Sith Lord? I highly doubt there is one, yet. But right now Revan would take him down.
Darth Plagueis
He was the Sith Lord to whom Darth Sidious was apprenticed. However Sidious betrayed Plagueis (standard practice among the Sith) and killed him in his sleep, thus becoming the Sith master himself. Plagueis is sometimes referred to as "Darth Plagueis the Wise," as he found a way to manipulate midi-clorians to prevent death....These are words from Wikipedia. So Darth Sidious was not lying when he told Anakin about his Master, Plagueis.
How do you know Darth Sidious couldn't stop people from dieing? How do we know that Darth Sidious didn't use that power to keep Anakin from dieing after falling in the lava? We don't, but I believe that Sidious did use it to save Anakin from death.
Wikipedia is not god, nor always right. It is a human made information source on the internet where everybody can add things. They put all the knowledge they had about him in there, instead of guessing about things.
And how do we know he didn't have that power? sidious said so himself, only one has learned that power and its obviously not him. Also he tells Anakin that they can learn it together. Sidious didn't know it.
Someone as beat up as Anakin would have died. Obi-Wan obviously felt Anakin's life force diminishing, or he wouldn't have left. I think Sidious saved him. Darth Sidious may have said, "We can learn it together." But this was possibly said to persuade Anakin to join Sidous at his side. We know of how Anakin disliked his teachings sometimes...saying we can do it together was probably more appealing to Anakin, than saying "I'll teach you this power." Sidous also said Plaguies taught his apprentice everything...they may have not said it in the movie, but in the novel it revealed Sidious was Plaguies's apprentice.
I know Sidious was Plagues his apprentice but what seems more likely to you.
1.) Sidious was taught how to keep people alive by his Master Plagues. He can keep people alive through the force but refused to keep Padmé alive because he wanted Anakin to join him.
or
2.) Plagues maybe couldn't keep people from dying and he sure as hell never taught Sidious who only said he could to get Anakin to join him. After which Sidious said that he would be able to learn if Anakin helped him.
I think its far more likely for it to be 2. Palpatine still had things to gain from Padmé her live
Number one seems the most likely, I say this because how is it possible in Anakin's position (lava bath) to stay alive in without Sidious's help. And Sidious was raving of how he killed his master and said..."Funny he could stop others from dieing, but couldn't save himself." And another reason Sidious had nothing else to gain from Padme, other than the Rebel Alliance.
Sidious had a lot to gain from her, he could have gotten a lot of diplomatiic power if she could get him to join here.
And the lava bath, well yeah thats strange. But he did survive on his own, they have survived other strange things. Anakin was fried by Sidious in ROTJ and he still managed to travel a little while and thats with all his curcuits fried. He can hold on, thats for sure.
