The scene

At an opera, Palpatine asks Anakin if he’s ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, a Sith Lord who could keep others from dying but was killed in his sleep by his apprentice. “Ironic.”

The word is used for anyone undone by their own specialty, and the whole speech is a copypasta.
