Status Updates From Dark Plagueis

Chapter 29: Anakin has arrived. Awesome seeing the “in-betweens” of the scenes in the first movie. Plagueis & Sidious freak out at the idea they spawned Anakin following their cracking of the force. Makes Anakin seem like a lot less stupid of a character and more like a consequence. Very fun seeing Dooku up to things, too.

Chapter 28: I believe the end of this chapter is precisely before the start of the first movie, it really does make everything that happens in it way more interesting. The blockade, Naboo & Amidala, and the trouble in the senate and amongst the Jedi simply has much more backing now and while that film is still rather boring this fills holes in the story. Getting Palpatine’s pov is great. Plagueis convinces Sifo.

Palpetine was manipuled to kill his entire family and now full fills his destiny to become the next sith apprentice

Exploring theed with the boy, pod racing on malastare and getting threatened by the father.

Chapter 26 - This was a cool chapter, some background into how Maul is doing being stationed on world with what amounts to essentially nothing to do. I think it's great we get to see some of what he is up to. Sidious had to confront the leader of Naboo, and it's always enjoyable to read these scenes knowing Sidious always has the upper hand, no matter what. Plagueis has to abandon Sojourn, which was a spectacle.

Naboo. Especially about their plasma. But while talking politics and mining Interests, a young man named palpating stepped into the spotlight. He wants to be part of important change in the republic.

Chapter 25: Palpatine does some political things. It’s very interesting to read, I find the sequence of events to be placed in clever order, and this novel all does come off as a singular rather clever plan by the Sith. It’s a shame this level of story telling is sorely lacking in most other areas of Star Wars. Very fun getting to see the beginning of Maul, Padmé, hell, any one of these characters.
