"Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?" Join us as we delve deep into the legend of one of the most enigmatic Sith Lords, Hego Damask, better known as Darth Plagueis.

Based on the tantalizing tale Palpatine shares with Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars author James Luceno brought this sinister character to life in his 2012 novel. This episode of What Happened is a unique exploration, combining a deep dive into Darth Plagueis with a comprehensive novel review.

Given that Plagueis is primarily a literary character, we’re stepping into Legends territory for this one. But fear not, Acolyte fans! We’ll be tying up loose ends and offering theories on that mind-boggling Easter egg.

To celebrate this special episode, we've introduced new artwork for all What Happened episodes. We hope you enjoy this journey into the dark side!

As always, your ratings and shares fuel our passion for creating this podcast. Thank you for your continued support!

What Happened!? Your essential Star Wars character deep dive.

In each episode, we unravel the complete story of a beloved character, from their first appearance to their latest exploits. From the big screen to the comic book page, no stone is left unturned as we chronologically explore every facet of their galactic journey. Join us for an in-depth look at the characters you love.

The Zeffo, also known as the Zeffonians, were an ancient sentient species native to the planet Zeffo. They were also introduced to us in Jedi: Fallen Order, a game which has a sequel coming at us in a few weeks time from now. SO, what was that giant mech-beast? Or more accuratly, who's was it? Who designed it, and to DO what? Did this have something to do with the Zeffo's extinction? Originally acting as a parrable to the fate of the Jedi Order in the video game, maybe this ancient civilization has more stories to come in the star wars lore.

This past week delivered us a very Indiana Jones-esk episode of The Bad Batch which we dive into first! Followed by:
