The Star Wars universe is stacked with so many iconic characters with deep lore that we can be here all day chatting about our favourites and what they mean to the franchise, such as Darth Plagueis.
ICYMI: Here’s our chat with the cast of The Acolyte
For the most dedicated and holier-than-thou Jedi Master, bringing people back to life is somewhat of a no-no, as it requires channelling into the dark side of the force, something that is no issue for the likes ofEmperor Palpatine,Darth Vaderand the aforementioned Darth Plagueis.

Yet, as much as an intriguing character Darth Plagueis is, he’s considered to be non-canon, which in a nutshell means that he’s not an official part of theStar Warsuniverse when it comes tomovies and most TV series, falling into the “Legends” category of novels. However, that may have changed when Darth Plagueis featured in a canonical book without us even noticing.
“Join Emperor Palpatine, otherwise known as Darth Sidious, as he recounts the history of the Sith and other evil allies of the dark side,” reads the description of the book in question. “Star Wars: Secrets of the Sith will fascinate young fans with dark side knowledge, incredible artwork, and other interactive features, such as pop-ups, booklets, and lift-the-flap inserts.”

What this means for future versions of Darth Plagueis in official Star Wars media, whether it be animated or live-action remains to be seen. But it does make me wonder whether we might see Darth Plagueis appear in the new Disney Plus animated series,Tales of the Jedi, one day.
