  I personally fund the way Anakin destroyed the Sith to be very poetic, because he essentially did it "their way": killing his master in the moment of triumph. It not only is the culmination of Anakin’s role as the chosen one but also re-affirm the truth that, at end of the day, the Sith are their own worst enemy and their philosophy is self destructive.

  Darth Bane trilogy is amazing!! It is the next logical step for your journey. You actually get to understand where the law of two originated. I think you’ll love it! <br><br>Side note: you’re quickly becoming my favorite Star Wars channel lol hilarious because I don’t think you intended that. However, the will of the force had other plans

  I think I&apos;ve figured it out. The orange cat is the Sith Lord and Darth Merphy is the apprentice. Who feeds who? Who cleans whose poop from the litter box? Yeah, the cat is definitely the Sith Lord.

  And such was the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. A fairy tale ending don&apos;t you think? Very Circle of Life coded.

  &quot;I struggle with these names.&quot; &nbsp;But you finally got Plagueis right! &nbsp;👍 &nbsp;Well done my young Padawan. <br><br>Weakened, using a breathing mask. &nbsp;Who&apos;s that remind you of?

  The Plagueis novel feels like the culmination of every bit of Star Wars writing for 40 years. It feels like a definitive end for the franchise. It&apos;s my favorite Star Wars novel because James Luceno packed so much into it, while keeping it interesting.<br><br>Also, Plagueis literally had an Epstein Planet. That shit is crazy

  The Darth Bane trilogy would be an excellent next step! Several things that happen in those books are referenced here in DP 😃

  The young Palpatine loving racing reminds me of Anakin love for racing. And the whole manipulation of Palpatine is like what would happen to Anakin but a lot more brutal. The scenes of him killing his family were just so dark.

  Since 1977, this series has reinvented itself countless times, transforming from a New Hollywood-inflected pulp swashbuckler, with nods to Akira Kurosawa, Carl Gustav Jung, and Joseph Campbell, into an epic family tragedy. Something like a science-fiction novel by Alexandre Dumas, partially rewritten by Frank Herbert.<br>It then entered its first prolonged period of decline, becoming a niche franchise on the brink of obscurity, sustained by role-playing enthusiasts, comic readers, and action figure collectors, before evolving once more, into military science fiction for a mainstream audience, then into medieval fantasy, political thriller, and ultimately into the fractured franchise in a prolonged identity crisis that we see today: a sprawling, internally divided juggernaut, still negotiating the question of what it really is - or wants to be.<br>Even many of its admirers are no longer entirely sure and some seem to have lost patience with their “most beloved” by now. And yet, as Luke Skywalker himself has shown, unconditional love may, in the end, still prove capable of overcoming anything in its path.<br>What is it, exactly, that sets this series apart? What accounts for its longevity, its peculiar, almost mythic prestige?<br>The answer may lie less in what it is than in what it permits. Few fictional worlds are as accommodating, as willing to absorb and refract disparate modes of storytelling. Beneath its shifting surfaces run quieter, subversive currents. And, threaded through it all, the enduring figure of the self-determining individual. It is this idea, more than any particular aesthetic or genre, that the series has carried, again and again, with a kind of unassuming conviction, from one life to the next
