Luceno really lawyer'd the shit out of that whole "murdered in his sleep" angle. Plagueis barely closed his eyes before Palpatine took his shot, woke him up, and ranted to him before dying.

The death scene was terrible upon subsequent rereads, Palpatine's verbal smackdown notwithstanding.


To be specific, Plagueis was caught off guard, drunk, and feeling overconfident regarding the Naboo invasion. Sidious also targeted Plagueis' weak spot involving his mask. What did you want? Sidious to just stab Plagueis with his lightsaber. Granted, Plagueis' stripped away precognition wouldn't have alerted him to the danger.

Palpatine mutilated the truth behind Anakin's conception, by claiming it was the Dark Side that created life, it was really the light side, the Living Force Qui-Gon Jinn studied. It was the only true path to immortality, as well as the creation of life, the Living Force can do anything it pleases. Dark Side Spirits are the same as Light Side Spirits, however, as the Dark Side is just a pervesion of the Living Force, with a malevolent will. It's just the Sith have a way of provoking the Living Force that the Jedi don't.

The living Force and the light side are not synonymous. The living Force contains both light and dark, as we should expect from an energy field generated by the totality of the galaxy's life-forms. The dark side is not a perversion of anything. In Lucas' words it is part of the "core of the Force".

I thought Lucas described it as a cancer?

And yet TCW showed Mortis being governed by three beings, one of which was the embodiment of the dark side.

To be honest, debates about "most powerful characters" are typically useless. Several characters have received such promotion officially thus far and all of them have dedicated fans. It is unlikely to reach a consensus in this kind of conflicting scenario. Funny possibility is that an official consensus does not exists in this regard either.
