Anakin Daft?
when Sidious tells Anakin about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis (probly spelt wrong) The Wise, he said that he taught everything including how to do save lives to his apprentice, still following me? good. now, how come when Anakin turns to the Dark Side, Sidious says that it is a power only one has achieved, and yet he was his apprentice and Plagueis taught him how. Did he actually know how?

Maybe, just a thought, but maybe Plageius taught him the power, but Sidius himself hadn't yet acheived it 😬
"A power only one has achieved." There is difference between teaching, and doing 😛
that makes sense and all, but i thought Sidious was supposed to be the most powerful sith ever, so it couldnt take that long for him to learn it, just a thought.
Originally posted by General GOh no, definetely not the most powerful, not even DE Sidious would qualify for that rank.

But that's what the Sith do...they lie. They cheat. They do what it takes to obtain their goals. He appealed to Anakin's sense of fear over losing Padme. He knew about the dreams, and of their marriage, so he used this secret knowledge to his advantage.
By the time Anakin had sworn allegiance to Palpatine, he had, in the last 5 minutes, seen Mace Windu try to kill Palpatine, helped in Mace's death, seen firsthand the power or Palpatine, and for what Anakin knew, see very powerful Sith abilities. He was too overwhelmed by the situation to question Palpatine's earlier story, and indeed Palpatine's life.
It seems Palps was lying because first he says that according to Legend only one Sith could cheat death, but when Annikan crosses to the dark side Palps says how to do it is still an unknown but he be sure to figure it out. In other words, the hell that Palps knows. But mission accomplished. Evil will use whatever means to con, cheat and sucker to get what it wants.

That's a good question. But like everyone else is saying, Sidious was flat out lying. Palpatine made up a story to get Anakin to think he could stop him from losing one of his attachments. That's where Anakin was most vulnerable.
I think its clear that Palpatine was lying to Anakin. He knew where his fears lay, and that he was worried about Padme dying. Its likely that Palps knew that Padme would die if Anakin went to the Darkside, but would he care? Of course not. And once Padme is dead, the issue of saving people is gone, cause Padme was the only person Anakin had cared for.
Palpatine never actually said that HE knew the power to stop death and create life. He said PLAGUEIS knew. Nor did he ever say that HE was Plagueis's apprentice, or if the man even ever existed.
Even if he did exist and Palpatine WAS the apprentice, then who's to trust Palpatine that Plagueis DID teach his apprentice everything he knew.
