The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise.
I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.

Have I ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? With all due respect, that’s like asking Yoda if he’s ever heard of ketamine. I have a doctorate in Darth Plagueis studies, and wrote my thesis on the use of dichotomies inherent in the tale with a particular focus on the intent of the meta-narrative. I first heard the story the moment I set foot in the Jedi temple. Master Windu, as it turns out, likes telling everyone who walks in his version of events. Master Windu utilized colorful language, coupled with many metaphors that even know I can’t fully comprehend, but it’s thanks to him I decided to devote my life to studying the tale. As you’re not doubt well aware, on a surface pedestrian level the story of Darth Plagueis the wise is the story of a man discovering the secret of immortality, but failing to use it to retain his own life, however, thematically the story is actually about the inherent nature of duality in the day to day life of the average being.

Read the Darth Plagueis book. Its amazing. It answers pretty much any question you can come up with. It shows his ability to prevent death and how it works mechanically. It shows how Sidious killed Plagueis. It shows what was happening in the background to start the Clone Wars. You even get to see Plagueis' old master, Darth Tenebris.

And contrary to popular belief, he did not create Anakin Skywalker. Rather, the Force created him to oppose Plagueis.
