Sauron_18 posted:"Sauron -- What are you basing that on????" Basic EU knowledge, those 1,000 years were for many Sith on hiding. The average star Wars human leaves some 100 or 120 years (estimate), the average human sith or jedi lives about 200 years,PLagueis wasnt ancient, he was the master before Sidious, and Sidious wasnt ancient either, there were many sith before them both and after Darth Bane. The EU doesnt contradict the movies and the movies dont contradict the EU, it all fits together perfectly, even when Lucas decides to do some weird crap.
r8hitman posted:How is Lucas the one doing the weird crap? THEIR HIS MOVIES! If anything is weird it's the EU. EDIT: But Sauron just listen for a minute....let's just forget about the EU for a second, if the jedi believe that the sith have been extinct for a millenium then if they know about "the legend of Plagueis" then he would have to have come BEFORE the extinction of the sith. But let's say for a minute that the jedi DONT know about Plagueis....Why would Palpatine tell Anakin a story about a character THAT ONLY A SITH WOULD KNOW? That would leave Anakin open to expose him right then and there. This must be a story that ANYONE could know about, and if ANYONE knows about it then the jedi probably have at least heard something about it, and if that's the case then Plagueis has to have come from an era when the sith were still active.
r8hitman posted:Yeah the EU will throw you completely off. The last EU material that I saw/purchased was a Darth Maul Vs. Darth Vader comic. (that shows you how long it's been) That stuff is interesting (sometimes) but dont try to mix it in with the movies....wont work.

Especially when he talks about the irony of Plagueis death. It seems pretty clear that Palpatine enjoys that memory of betrayal. Also, in the reveal scene, he talks about how his mentor taught him about the dark side. You put two and two together, you get your answer. This is just conjecture, but I'll take this interpretation over the EU any day.
