Darth Plagueis (novel)

❌

A Darth Plagueis novel was scheduled to be written by James Luceno and released in October 2008 by Del Rey. However, in a February 5, 2007 interview, Luceno announced the novel was on hold due to issues surrounding the revelation of Palpatine's backstory.

On March 27, 2007, Sue Rostoni revealed in her blog that the novel has been cancelled, in an entry revealing an updated publishing schedule. She stated the following:

"I'm sure you've noticed that the Plagueis novel is not listed. It's true. The novel has been cancelled. We decided that this was not the right time to delve into Palpatine's back story and Plagueis's beginnings. You'll still see Jim Luceno around, though, as he's an author we are not willing to lose."
