The legend is about a Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Plagueis The Wise, who could influence midichlorions to prevent people from dying. However, he taught his apprentice all he knew, so the apprentice killed him while he was asleep. Palpatine finds the legend ironic considering while Darth Plagueis could relieve others from expiry, he could non save himself.

Star Wars Commemoration 2017

On Apr 13th, 2017, Ian McDiarmid participated in the "xl Years of Star Wars Panel" at the Star Wars Celebration event in Orlando, Fl. During the panel, he described the Darth Plagueis scene as the most "deliciously evil" 1 he performed.^[4] He said,

"Of all of the deliciously evil scenes--and there are many--the 1 that stands out for me is in Revenge of the Sith. And that's when we all go to go to the opera. George [Lucas] will remember that he wrote that scene originally in some other office [set]… and then he said, 'No, I think we should go somewhere else for a modify.' So nosotros went to a theater and the reason I liked that so much is because I'm a theater actor too, but more than than that Hayden and I could really sit downwards and from my signal of view anyway, take an evil chat. And I think it's i of the longest dialogue scenes in the whole of the saga."

That day, while participating in the "Tales from the Dark Side Console," he discussed the scene further (shown beneath).

The interview (shown below) became very popular on Reddit equally three threads about the interview made the front page.^[7] The thread "For those who watched Ian McDiarmid at Star Wars celebration"^[6] received more than 900 points (99% upvoted), and the thread MFW they played the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis at Star Wars Celebration received more than 800 points (100% upvoted).^[5]
