Darth Plagueis was a Sith Lord who, according to legend (or at least Darth Sidious), had discovered a way to manipulate midi-chlorians to prevent death and create life. However, his apprentice, Darth Sidious, betrayed Plagueis (a common practice among the Sith) and killed him in his sleep, thus becoming the Sith Master.

 Bill Hootkins William Hootkins, who played Jek Porkins in the original Star Wars film, has passed away at age 58.
According to What's On Stage :
American stage and screen actor William Hootkins - who lived
and worked for many years in the UK and was last seen on the London
stage in Hitchcock Blonde - has passed away after a battle with
pancreatic cancer. Diagnosed earlier this year, he died last night
(Sunday 23 October 2005) at St Johns Hospital in Santa Monica near his
Californian home. He was 58.
Born in Dallas, Texas on 5 July 1948, the ebullient Hootkins ? known as
Bill or 'Hoot' to his friends - made his stage debut in a local school
production that co-starred a fellow student who later had success in
Hollywood, Tommy Lee Jones. He initially tried to distance himself from
drama by studying astrophysics and Chinese linguistics at Princeton
University, but soon became involved with Princeton?s Intime Theatre
group. On the recommendation of his friend, John Lithgow, he moved to
the UK after graduation to study at LAMDA (London Academy of Music and
Dramatic Arts) and subsequently made his home in this country. |
