Fans of LEGO Star Wars have started a new online petition demanding that TT Games add Sith Lord Darth Plagueis as a playable character in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
In the description of the Change.org petition, the author argues, "Darth Plagueis was Palpatine’s Master and taught him everything he knew. He wanted to take over the galaxy and influence the midichlorians to cheat death and create life. Sadly, he was later killed by Palpatine. Darth Plagueis technically was in The Skywalker Saga, because Palpatine used his story to turn Anakin to the dark side."
The author goes on to point out that, despite his important role in the saga, Darth Plagueis is absent from most Star Wars games and stories, noting, "Even Yaddle has add more appearances than Darth Plagueis and Yaddle is going to be a playable character." The author concludes, "LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a perfect way to introduce Darth Plagueis to a new era of Star Wars fans. He would also add more diversity into the roster, since he is a Muun and Sith Lord."
The author of the petition -- which has garnered nearly 400 signatures -- also created a Twitter account dedicated to Darth Plagueis becoming playable in the game.
