Darth Plagueis

by James Luceno

“To be strong in the Force is one thing. But to believe oneself to be all-powerful is to invite catastrophe. Remember, that even in the ethereal realm we inhabit, the unforeseen can occur.”

common misconception held that midi-chlorians were Force-carrying particles, when in fact they functioned more as translators, interlocutors of the will of the Force.

last Sith possessed of the knowledge had been inexplicably drawn to the light side and killed, taking the secret process with him …

Damask knew, too, that the ancient Sith had once had an outpost on Tatooine, but he kept that to himself.

“Uncertainty is the first step toward self-determination,” Plagueis said. “Courage comes next.”

The Sith are not placid stars but singularities. Rather than burn with muted purpose, we warp space and time to twist the galaxy to our own design.

“The power of the dark side is an illness no true Sith would wish to be cured of.”

Through power we gain victory, and through victory our chains are broken. But power is only a means to an end.”

Remember why the Sith are more powerful than the Jedi, Sidious: because we are not afraid to feel. We embrace the spectrum of emotions, from the heights of transcendent joy to the depths of hatred and despair. Fearless, we welcome whatever paths the dark side sets us on, and whatever destiny it lays out for us.
