* In ''Franchise/StarWars Episode III: Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' Chancellor Palpatine relates to Anakin Skywalker the [[MemeticMutation Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise]], who had such fine control of the Force that he could use it to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He taught almost everything he knew to his apprentice, who then killed him in his sleep. (In the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse and the still-canon [[AllThereInTheManual StarWars.com encyclopedia]], it's explained that Palpatine himself was the apprentice in question. Which was pretty blatantly implied in the film itself; Palpatine clearly comes off as gloating about having usurped Plagueis.)
-->'''Palpatine:''' It's [[{{Irony}} ironic]]. He could save others from death, but not himself.
** Here's [[http://www.rebelscum.com/Hasbro-Star-Wars/The-Black-Series/Figures/18-Darth-Plagueis/IMAGE27.asp a diorama]] that depicts how the deed was accomplished. ([[SchmuckBait Warning: Only those with strong stomachs need click.]])
