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.”

“But … when you were young, did you question your motivations, especially when they ran counter to everyone else’s?” Plagueis held his challenging gaze. “I never asked why this or why that, what if this or what if that. I simply responded to my own determination.”

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