Darth Plagueis Novel

I don't care how good the writer is: when he gets to the assassination part, it's gonna read so terribly.

I doubt Lucas would allow us to find out if Plagueis truly conceived Anakin because it would make the prophecy all the more useless. If the prophecy is to be believed, he was conceived by the force, not as a result of the force. Then again, the prohecy was useless as of DE and beyond anyways so screw it.

Old post I know... But having Plagueis create Anakin doesn't go against the prophecy. It could be simply that the force "manipulated" Plagueis into using his "powers" on Shmi.

He raped her. That's what you're trying to say? You are a horrible person mang.

Actually, the Force raped her. Hence the name.

LOL

Cover and blurb announced at SW.com.

Looking forward to this quite a bit.

That cover looks excellent. Plagueis has a Voldemort-vibe going on and it's a pretty epic moment to finally see Palpatine kneel. Definitely paying homage to the iconic scene in TESB with Vader and holo!Palpatine.

Wow! That looks great.

Nice. One of the only Star Wars novel covers I've seen that looks compelling.

Stover writing a tie-in short story!

Awesome! The two best authors creating two stories dealing with Plagueis.

Anyway, Tenebrous is apparently a Sith Lord who has absolutely no back story. I wonder if he will actually be in the story (IE be Plags' master) or if Plags is studing his lore.

IS it just me or did plagueis look like a munu?

He is a Muun.

Not necessarily. It could be that Plagueis may have physical and mental 'obstacles' preventing Sidious from reaching his bed and stabbing him.

Secondly, after killing Plagueis, he may have to physically and/or mentally battle the Sith Lord's spirit or some other wicked thing.

I doubt it would be as easy as:

Plagueis: "Good night, my apprentice."

Sidious: "And to you, my master."

Plagueis falls asleep.

Sidious walks up to the bed and mutters, "Till now, I was but the learner; now I am the master. This is the end for you, my master."

Stabs Plagueis with his lightsaber.

Sidious: "Power!!!! Unlimited powahhh!!!!!11111"

...

Like I said, it's going to read terribly.

Have some faith, my friend- I'm sure it'll end up better than 90% of the other Star Wars novels if the authors are good.

Watch Drew weasel his way in to somehow--maybe as an advising writer. Hopefully Luceno will be involved.

Hopefully, LoE was quite good.
