To understand my frustration with how The Acolyte portrayed Darth Plagueis, it’s important to review what little we know about the character. He is first mentioned in Revenge of the Sith by Chancellor Palpatine, who claims this dude could use the Force to both create life and cheat death.
Aside from these legends and the fact that Plagueis was once Palpatine’s master (betrayed and murdered by his student, which is the Sith way), we don’t know anything about Plagueis except that he was a Muun.
Now, fans of The Acolyte who have a bookshelf full of old Star Wars novels are likely screaming at me that we know plenty about this character thanks to works like James Luceno’s Darth Plagueis novel.
However (and don’t shoot the messenger if this is how you find out), all of the old Expanded Universe content has been removed from canon by Disney with all the speed of Luke Skywalker making moves on his sister. There are new comics and novels that are part of Disney’s new canon, of course, but modern authors haven’t really told us much about this ancient Sith Lord.
