Darth Plagueis (Star Wars)

Getting inside the mind of such a complex character added depth, but I wonder if the choice to focus on his philosophical pursuits was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The detailed power plays and manipulations made me think about real-world politics. Was this intentional, or just a happy coincidence?

It’s fascinating how the story explores both the seductive allure of power and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge—how did these themes shape the narrative?
