A review by robotowilliam
Darth Plagueis by James Luceno

3.0

A surprise to be sure, but a pleasant one. Actually better than Episode 1, which it largely covers in the final chapters (albeit from a very different perspective). Even though it's old canon, I'm happy to adopt it as part of my headcanon since it blends so seamlessly into the movies. That being said, I think the movie paints a bit of a simpler picture - movie Sidious is a more of a crazed megalomaniac and less of a shrewd Machievelli who won power through guile.
