The Secrets of the Sith (2021)

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHAT ABOUT MY HECKIN PRIMARY SOURCERINOS??

WHY ISNT DISNEY CATERING TO ME, THE VS THREAD DEBATE TURBO-AUTIST? THIS CANT BE HAPPENING

You seem to have forgotten to post a wojak.

So when this book comes out are we going to accept the statements as canon facts or are we going to take them with a grain of salt?

As with any material written by characters from an in-universe POV, much of the content presented here should be taken with a grain of salt, imo... Especially since Palpatine is the storyteller, and he isn't the most reliable of narrators.

That being said, I do think at least *some* of the information provided will be factual.

I can almost guarantee people are going to be citing quotes from this book in debates as canon facts.

what debates? who's debating this shit?

^ Who dis

a new guy.

is this now being released on the 12th of october ?

Hopefully this book will clarify what Palpatine meant when he said “I am all the Sith”, whether this was literal or figurative. I suspect it’s the former based off other dialogue from the movie. If that’s the case I hope it explains the process in more detail.

Got my hands on a copy of the book. A few months back, we had a discussion about whether Snoke hails from Sheev's genes and whether Snoke was strong enough to serve as a vessel for Sheev's powers.

The recent StarWars.com Contingency article and the Secrets of the Sith confirm Snoke (1) is a Sheev duplicate and (2) is too weak to serve as a receptacle for Sheev.

Makes it abundantly clear that Snoke's defective vessel could not contain Palpatine's power... But I still have to wonder how powerful Snoke actually was?

According to those images, Sidious still considered Snoke to be a "powerful puppet" and allowed him to rule in his stead.

For all we know Snoke could have been 90% of Sidious. Extremely close to his level, but not quite strong enough to contain all of his power.

Snoke was indeed powerful, but he most definitely wasn't that close to RoS Palpatine's level, imo.

When Kylo first encountered Palpatine(who was still in his rotting clone vessel), he was borderline awestruck by his power and commented that it was beyond anything he'd ever sensed before... Which automatically scales pre-dyad!Palpatine well above the likes of Snoke and ST Luke(both of whom Kylo had obviously sensed as well.) This is important, because in Skywalker: A Family At War it is stated that Palpatine was "dying and weak" at the time.

Moreover, pretty much all material paints the picture that ST Luke was above Snoke as well.

So the scaling should be:
Post-dyad/revivified Palpatine >> pre-dyad/weakened Palpatine >> ST Luke > Snoke.

I'm still curious when Palpatine acquired the essences of all the Sith, though..? Hoping that side of things will be fleshed out at some point. /shrug

That’s what I want to know: when/how Palpatine acquired the power of all the Sith. Hopefully the book will answer that.
