“Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?” asked Palpatine in REVENGE OF THE SITH…

Well, now we can all find out just what really went on during Darth Sidious’ time as the young apprentice of this mysterious Sith, with the upcoming UK release of the untold story in STAR WARS: DARTH PLAGUEIS.

And to remind us why we should care, here’s a trailer…

Who says the prequels weren’t responsible for some of the saga’s most enduringly powerful moments! (Side note: Watching that back, I’ve only just got the fact that Palpatine subtly hints that Anakin might be the product of Plagueis’ sorcery! Consider my mind blown! God I hope I’m not alone missing that…)

STAR WARS: DARTH PLAGUEIS is released on Monday the 20th of Jan in all good book shops (if you can find one that hasn’t been demolished to make a Poundland or something. Otherwise just try Amazon).

Thank the maker that George Lucas continues to support the STAR WARS universe and its fans!
