    …Plagueis and Palpatine creating Anakin is a part of Legends continuity, not new Disney canon, as part of the Darth Plagueis novel, released in 2012. Though Acolyte does imply they’re going to also establish that in Disney canon as well.

      i remember the initial announcement of the Acolyte and ties to it being focused on sheev. I feel like it will move to palps being the Acolyte of the title. God I hope so the twin shit is so lame and cringey osha is a straight up traitor and is so fucking cringey

      I’ve read the entire legends series through to the end of episode 3 sceeenplay, it’s not mentioned in legends/expanded universe that Sidious did anything, it was a failed experiment by plageous and he didn’t even know it at the time…. A new comic that came out this year or last in Disney canon is where it comes from.

      Edited for clarity

          Yes one is plageuis, the other is palpatine. I’m talking new lore where Sidious does it.

          Its almost like they are telling different stories with the same skeleton or something… you realize that Disney lore and legends lore aren’t the same… yeah?

              Yes, I don’t know why I used his different names there.

              The bottom line, Plageous was by accident during his experimentations and he concluded anakin was the result, in Disney lore, palpatine/sidious does the manipulation himself in person.

              There is no direct link in Legends to say what Plageous did resulted in Anakin.
