Welcome to the midway checkpoint. This month's book is Darth Plagueis by James Luceno


1. Darth Plagueis acquires a list of Force-users and begins investigating them. Which of the ones he tracks down do you find most interesting?

2. Darth Plagueis seems a contradiction in being attached to an ancient and mystical sect (Sith) and yet forging ahead with science. Do you think he'll be able to reconcile this?

3. What do you think so far?

1. The one he tracked down on a planet called 'Bedlam' was frightening, but I think the woman who was the prophet was the most interesting.

2. I think Star Wars does this a lot - mixing mysticism and technology. I find Plagueis to have an interesting mix and he seems to reject a lot of the Sith dogma.

3. In Part 1 when Plagueis hitches a ride on a ship called the Woebegone. I really want to rant about how we need more stories about this crew. How about we steal the Rogue One AO3 tag: "everyone lives" and have some adventures? At least the droid survived (so far), but I would like more about Ellin Lah, the Togruta captain.
