Star Wars: Darth Plagueis

Can´t wait to grab it... :))))

In Revenge of the Sith, while attending a ballet, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine casually mentions to Anakin Skywalker the tale of Darth Plagueis. Plagueis was a Sith Lord so wise and powerful, that he could even manipulate the Force to create life or stop death in others. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent his own death, for in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed in his sleep by his apprentice.

Palpatine told the captivating tale to start certain wheels spinning in the Chosen One's head. Ever since then, Star Wars fans have been clamoring to know more about Plagueis. Author James Luceno delves into the secrets of the dark side to find out more about Darth Sidious and Darth Plagueis in a new hardcover novel, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis, due out this winter.

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis by James Luceno will be available in hardcover and ebook formats on December 27, 2011 from Del Rey Books.

A thought to my friends

Lately, I´ve been thinking about a very nice thing. As I run this blog, just for pure joy and for being a true fan of the Star Wars universe, every week I receive some new stuff about Star Wars from my friends. The line of thought is simple, if I wanted to I didn´t need to search for anything else about the saga, because my friends send me lots of info regularly. So, this post is for them, for always sharing with me this passion I have, keeping it going and making me happy. Love to all of you guys :)

::::::::

Ultimamente tenho matutado em algo bastante porreiro. Enquanto mantenho este blogue, apenas por puro divertimento e por ser um verdadeiro fã do universo Star Wars, recebo todas as semanas dos meus amigos informação nova, relativa a Star Wars. A minha linha de raciocínio é simples, hoje, se quisesse, já não precisava de procurar mais nada sobre a saga, porque os meus amigos o fazem por mim. Enviam-me montes de coisas com regularidade. Por isso, este post é para eles, por partilharem sempre comigo esta paixão que tenho, mantendo-a e deixando-me feliz. Um bem haja para todos vocês :)
