In den nya kanon vad vet vi faktiskt om Darth Plagueis?

Darth Plagueis karaktär nämns endast i två kanonkällor: Episod III och romanen Tarkin .

Den enda informationen från Episod III är den

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life ... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

...

He became so powerful ... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep.

Darth Sidious/Palpatine (source)

Lite mer information om Plagueis ges i Tarkin . Kanske viktigast är det faktum att Plagueis verkligen var Sidious 'mästare.

Save for Sidious, no sentient being in close to five thousand years had set foot in the shrine [under the former Jedi Temple]. The room’s excavation and restoration had been carried out by machines under the supervision of 11-4D. Even Vader was unaware of the shrine’s existence. But it was here that they would one day work together the way Sidious and Plagueis had to coax from the dark side its final secrets. In the intervening years he had actually come to appreciate Plagueis for the planner and prophet he had been. Such perilous machinations required two Sith, one to serve as bait for the dark side, the other to be the vessel. Success would grant them the power to harness the full powers of the dark side, and allow them to rule for ten thousand years.

p. 101

Annanstans nämns att droiden 11-4D ägdes av Plagueis.

Plagueis lever fortfarande vid tiden Sidious blev Naboos senator, vilket överensstämmer med Legends novel Darth Plagueis :

[Sidious and Tarkin] had met several years after Sidious -- still an apprentice of Darth Plagueis at the time -- had been appointed Naboo’s representative to the Republic Senate.

p. 102

Plagueis på våldet:

Darth Plagueis had once remarked that “the Force can strike back.” The death of a star didn’t necessarily curtail its light, and indeed Sidious could see evidence of that sometimes even in Vader—the barest flicker of persistent light.

p. 102

The Emperor spent a long moment studying Ison and Rancit, stretching out with his powers to discern alignments, configurations, some syzygy of events. Then his thoughts turned to Vader and Tarkin. He appreciated how well they were working together, but he began to wonder if they were perhaps too close to the details of the dissidents’ scheme to recognize their ultimate objective. One needed to have a safe remove, as he felt he had, gazing into the 3-D representation of the galaxy he had made his own. How Plagueis would have mocked him for allowing himself to become personally involved in such a seemingly trivial matter; but then his Master had never foreseen that his onetime apprentice would become Emperor.

p. 103

Det är det. Det är allt vi vet om Plagueis strängt från kanon. Vi känner inte till Plagueis 'arter. huvudbeviset att Plagueis inte är Snoke kommer ut ur universet, från Pable Hidalgo. I universum är det bästa beviset att Plagueis måste ha dött för att den utvalda profetens profeti ska vara sant ( the Den utvalda skulle förintetgöra Sith ); Anakin är den utvalda , så han kunde inte ha förstört Sith om Snoke är Plagueis.

Från prequeltrilogin har vi det här.

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

―Palpatine

(självklart var Palpatine inte alltid 100% sanningsenlig så det kan till och med bestridas)

Det finns kanonen "Sida på Star Wars wiki för honom.

Han nämns tydligen i Tarkins roman (skriven av samma författare som Plagueis), jag har inte det att expandera på vad som sägs där.
