I finished reading Darth Plaguies by James Lucerno

Offers deeper insight into the origin of the Dark Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Now I can watch the Star Wars prequels with a new perspective, understanding all of Palpatine’s political scheming behind the scenes.

That's awesome! Are there any obvious real-world political or historical parallels the author was leaning into?

@greensnacks The book was written around 2014 I think. I'm not sure what events at that time would be comparable to any in the book.

But the rise of Palpatine in general is comparable to the rise of Julius Caesar

@caPnAhab Ah, sounds interesting enough.

I haven't watched the Star wars unfortunately, I believe I watched one part partially with Harrison Ford, but you reminded me I might watch them soon. Maybe I'll love them. I do like space sfuff, I do like battles.
