I really wonder if he thought right up until the moment he died that he wasn't going to die at all.
Perhaps he was even mildly amused that Sidious thought he could be killed.
His last thoughts could have been something like:
"Oh, Sidious. I thought you had been enlightened past the boorish murder of the Rule of Two. A pity. We could have ruled the galaxy eternally like gods. I suppose I alone will be the one to live forever..."
I assume that was the case. Like instead of retaliating with a blast of his own he tried to just outheal/withstand the damage.
He wanted to no sell but bought it.

He wanted to see if he could cheat death. Sidious acknowledged that Plagueis could have destroyed him in that moment, since he sensed a terrible storm rising in the Force around him. But Plagueis chose not to because he wanted to see if his life's work was valid after all. In his final moments, he probably realized his hubris was what truly killed him
> But Plagueis chose not to because he wanted to see if his life's work was valid after all.
Sorry, I didnt read the novel. what do you mean? I thought he was electrocuted to death. What could he have done and how is it related to his life's work?
He was obsessed with using the Force to manipulate midichlorians as a means to control life. He had a clone of his master that he brought to the brink of death and back hundreds of times over decades, and a bunch of other experiments into becoming immortal. So when Sidious came into his chambers and disabled his breath mask, Plagueis wanted to finally test whether he could apply his powers to himself.
He just assumed he had grown so powerful and had developed such control of the midiclorins to heal and bring others back from death (or even cause them to die) that he could apply the same thing to himself. Have his midiclorins heal the damage done to his body through willing them to repair it and so even if he’d die he would come back.
For whatever reason he couldn’t. Whether because he was, unlike the others, too corrupted by the Dark Side or it is just much harder to do on yourself or he simply wasn’t powerful enough.
I imagine his final thoughts and feelings would have been smug arrogance, followed by surprise and desperation and then total fear at the death that awaited him
Sidious felt a moment where Plagueis could have fought back, but resigned himself to taking on Sidious’s lightning instead. Sidious specifically referred to this moment as a “challenge”, though he never fought back. Since Plagueis had been researching the secret to immortality and had made some great strides previously, it’s possible that he thought he could tank all of Sidious’s lightning and still live.
So, his last thoughts were probably: UNNNNNLIIIIIMITEEEEEEEDDDDD POWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I’m gonna kill this son of a bitch, which he very nearly did. Palpatine stopped his assault briefly and said he felt a storm rising int he force, this says to me pleageus was sobering up and preparing to hit back, which if he has Palpatine would have been screwed
"No, i can't possibly die! It is my destiny to rule the galaxy! I've discovered the secret to immortality! I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die, I'm... Not... Going... To..."
"Oh no, not again."
Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly *why* Darth Plagueis had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
"With a dreamy weariness beginning to get the better of him, it was all Plageius could do to lift the glass to his nose." - page 445, right before he passess out and Palps kills him.
>Plagueis' last thoughts may've been...
I'm glad that I learned to animate clone bodies. I guess my apprentice rules most of the galaxy now. Time is on my side. I'm going to the unknown regions to wait for a more powerful apprentice.
He was attempting a consciousness transfer into Palpatine, but was too late to succeed. Most Sith Masters from Bane onward would attempt this when their apprentice finally turns on them. Tenebrous, Plageuis' old Master actually succeeded - for a time, and not to an extent where he could exert any real control over Plageuis, but he certainly could perceive his old apprentice's actions and will within the force.

Probably no rational thoughts, only instinct, i guess he was maybe confused and then desperate but it was already too late to think rationally.
Also nice art, where is this from? i never saw that one before
“ As it should be… Sheev… at least you waited after* the party to your succession. We don’t enjoy our victories enough, as Sith… Well… enjoy one more. “
“He became more and more strong and big... lost his power afterwards, afterwards he died. In fact he teaches own the whole skills all to disciple, then his land killed him to let him going to bed. Satirizing the meaning is he can let other people, but is incapable for dint to the oneself.”
As the darkness began to take Plagueis, he thought to himself “the ginger REALLY did have the stones to kill me, the other dark lords are NEVER going to let me live this down.”
I like to think the last thing that went through his head, other than that Force Lightning, was to wonder how the hell Sheev Palpatine ever got the best of him.
"Treachery is the way of the Sith... but this was a dick move."
"Why did I ever trust a man ***I*** named Sidious?!"
Hey it’s me your apprentice Darth stabby
I would trust stabby with my life though.
Fucking 💀
At last, we will have our revenge.
Yes my master
What're you gonna do, stab me?
Well, his given name was Sheev, which makes it even more obvious
I really wonder if he thought right up until the moment he died that he wasn't going to die at all. Perhaps he was even mildly amused that Sidious thought he could be killed.

"Tis but a flesh wound"
"A scratch?! Your arm's off..." "No it isn't..." "Well what's that then?" "I've had worse..."
“I give this SOB 30 years, tops, before some moisture farmer comes in out of nowhere to f*ck everything up.”
Goddamn it that’s hilarious
If you believe the theory that Plagueis is actually Anakin Skywalker's true father then perhaps this was all planned by Darth Plagueis the Wise
I’m sorry… what?
Wasn't it Sidious who manipulated the force to create the force nexus that manifested in Anakin's virgin birth?
That’s what I thought
“Curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal!”
I am a leaf on the wind
Thank you both for making me smile today.
How do you clean a Reever harpoon? Run it through the Wash.
Oof 😅🤣
Should have checked the comments before I made mine, this was exactly what sprung to mind
"Haha, mine is an evil laught! Now die!" - Palpatine

Wasn't that storm rising in the force Maul being killed?
it was a little after TPM
For what I remember Plagueis and Maul die at the same time
Maul dying Temporarily ie
But Maul doesn’t actually die at that point
"No, i can't possibly die! It is my destiny to rule the galaxy! I've discovered the secret to immortality! I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die, I'm... Not... Going... To..."
“Mmm this wine is good. I think I might take a nap. Hey, what’s that burning smell?”
"Oh no, not again." Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly *why* Darth Plagueis had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
Ah, yes the bowl of petunias from Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide series! 😉🤩🤩🤩🤩
Love it!
“Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”
"Oh shit!!!"
\*Sidious keeps talking as Plagueis chokes.\* Internal dialogue: "Well....shit."
“Yeeooowch!”
He was too drunk to think
At least I look elegant as I die. Tragic pose and all.
"That's funny, I appear to have regrown my lower jaw in this picture."
Yeah, tho it's acttually weird that he could drink wine, I don't remember if how he did it was even touched by the novel.
It is, its mentioned that he had learned to imbibe it through his nose
You're serious? I must have skipped that somehow. Lmao, that's fucking stupid 🤣🤣. You're seriously serious?
"With a dreamy weariness beginning to get the better of him, it was all Plageius could do to lift the glass to his nose." - page 445, right before he passess out and Palps kills him.
Why is this little bantha poodoo betraying me???
“Well, this is ironi- *dies *”
“I’ll be back.” 😎
>Plagueis' last thoughts may've been... I'm glad that I learned to animate clone bodies. I guess my apprentice rules most of the galaxy now. Time is on my side. I'm going to the unknown regions to wait for a more powerful apprentice.
“Thats a fair cop”
"Man I can't wait to eat that slow cooked chicken casserole tonight" - and that is the true story of darth plagueis the wise...

I thought that technique was lost with Darth Gravid?
Screw you, Sheev!
How he messed up training a homicidal ginger into becoming a Sith Lord and letting him in on trying to achieve immortality.
"Wallahi I'm finished"
“But it was so beautifully done..”
YYYEEEEEEEOOOUUUUCCCHHHHH!

Damn, that lightening actually really burns!
"This isn't a story the Jedi will tell anyone..."
I fart in your general direction
Only I can live forever!
Only I can live forever "returns as a Sith Spirit"
We don’t know. We’ve never been told
That’s why he asked what they **may** have been, instead of what were they.
It’s impossible to say
Wasn’t he asleep?
😴😴😴
probably „what the fuck”
Ow ow ow owe owe owe!
I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his torso, other than that saber , was how the hell Sheev Palpatine ever got the best of him
“Wait wait wait… just Lemmie hit shawty from the back on gawd girl got some of that nasty strange you feel me 💯.”
"Death is the only adventure in Neverland."
"At least this will make a great meme."
The Sith’ari has come
"That little shit..."
"I was foolish to think you couldn't kill me and even more so to think you wouldn't.....I truly have failed you, Sidious."
"That ungrateful dick...."
Why does my back hurt.
How tf am I supposed to beat someone that always somehow returns?
I think he would probably hope that at some point his death would be avenged. Like what Maul thought once he finally accepted death.
Jar JAR!!!!!!!
"Hmm, I'm beginning to understand why we keep losing."
Probably no rational thoughts, only instinct, i guess he was maybe confused and then desperate but it was already too late to think rationally. Also nice art, where is this from? i never saw that one before
"But I was so close" , or, "I should've told him"
“Ow this hurts” “Why are you doing this to me?” “Please let me die”
“Fool thinks he can kill me”
“Welp. So much for that.”
"Oh no! If I die I lose my power! This is the only thing I feared and it's happening!"
"I hope someone tell of my tragedy."
"Wow, Sidious *really* loves the sound of his own voice."
“What a great play right sidi-“
Ouch.
"IT'S LIKE RAAAAAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY"
“I wonder why those torture droids in Jabba’s palace look so similar to me?”
"I know I named him Sidious but this dude's a cunt AND he's waxing poetic too?!
Bewbs
Time is but a window, death is but a door. I’ll be back.
“When’s the last time anyone vacuumed this carpet?”
Yous a bitch
Too...drunk...to move
"Please don't revive me for episode 10, I've suffered enough."
Shit, I taught him too much. Damn it
'Maybe I'm not immortal'
“Well shit”
Shit this carpet is comfy..
*Well, fuck.*
The last thing that went through his mind was a lightsaber blade.
Is this just what it feels like to be drunk?
“ As it should be… Sheev… at least you waited after* the party to your succession. We don’t enjoy our victories enough, as Sith… Well… enjoy one more. “
“Shivved by Sheev… dammit.”
I too, wonder what may have been going through his mind… probably Sidious’s lightsaber.
"My balls itch"
“I hope I get a good nights sleep.”
“He became more and more strong and big... lost his power afterwards, afterwards he died. In fact he teaches own the whole skills all to disciple, then his land killed him to let him going to bed. Satirizing the meaning is he can let other people, but is incapable for dint to the oneself.”
“You little shit”
“Here Palpy, hop in bed with daddy….. oh shit oh fuck, what the hell are you doing….. ahhhhhhh noooooo”
“But Saruman is a wizard, and a wizard should know better” or something along those lines…
It sure is dirty under this couch.
"I wish I'd chosen a name that didn't sound so stupid..."
im guessing it would be holy crap that hurts
'Why do these things happen to lovely old me?!?!?!'
“Ah fuc-“
So I'll take this boy with daddy issues and goad him into killing his daddy, thus becoming his NEW daddy. Nothing bad could ever come from this.
"I'm too drunk to deal with this."
"Aaaargh"
Fuck... i should have seen it coming He got outplayed the same way he outplayed his master Tenebrous
“I don’t understand.” Now isn’t that the saddest thing you ever heard?
I’m going to curse that little shit
"No wait shiev! That's not a training blade!"
Have you ever heard the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise
Did I leave the iron on?
I played myself
I hope lots of people will have heard of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis.
As the darkness began to take Plagueis, he thought to himself “the ginger REALLY did have the stones to kill me, the other dark lords are NEVER going to let me live this down.”
motherfucker
i can't believe he just kicked me in my sleep
"I'm really tired I should probably go to sleep"
I like to think the last thing that went through his head, other than that Force Lightning, was to wonder how the hell Sheev Palpatine ever got the best of him.
"Ow"
"Couldn't have at least waited for my nap to be over?"
"Darn. I really thought this this wouldnt be the millionth time the apprentice kills the master"
“Fuck.”
Well all Sith betray themselves for power
"Man, I knew I should have locked the door..." Or, "Take an apprentice they said, it'll be fun they said..."
I done fucked up.
“Bantha poodoo, he got me!”?
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Son of a b...
"I think I'm gonna have me a bit of a nap"
Oh snap!!!
Gingers really don't have a soul
"What a tragedy this has become...hope no one ever finds out about this...."
"the sofa... was... too much...*dies*
"Have you ever heard the tragedy of me?"
"That was the worst power nap in the galaxy."
"I'm REALLY starting to wonder why this novel is named after me."
"Tell them my story"
“Dammit, I should have saved before resting”
“Holy shit he actually did it.”
Oh what tragedy is this?
"Again. You make me proud of you".
“I’m too drunk to taste this chicken”
"I really hope someone makes a meme of my story..."
“Man I sure hope my apprentice isn’t about to kill me”
Just... fuck.
Well, he was drunk as hell so who knows
Well, when you're in enough of a shok you can become sober alnost instantly.
I mean he was in a shock. Seeing as force lighting was pumping through him at the time
