Palpatine

Well to me it was pretty obvious, basically it is given away if you know anything about Star Wars histroy. Like Kurgan said, Emperor Palpatine = Senator Palpatine.

 

There goes Kurgan with his force long posts again...

If you think that's a long post (49 words, 3 lines), you ain't seen nothin' yet, buddy!

If I do remember, I have seen most if not all the Dark Lords of the Sith, and have read the chapters of sith history. The idea of slaying dark jedi masters is almost a tradition it seems. If you have read about Dooku wanting to overthrow Palpatine, The Tragedy of Darth Plageuis(Excuse Spelling), As well the insident in ESB at the end of the vader vs. luke battle, there is the "togeather we can rule the galaxy as father and son, join my son." well the line is something like that from vader. I still think it was pritty obvious and just as popcorn had said Senator Palpatine = Emperor Palpatine.

Since I saw the original trilogy first, I knew who he really was the moment I saw his hooded hologram in Ep. I.

 

Since Bane instituted the Rule of Two, it was tradition that the apprentice slained the master after he/she became more powerful than the master. Therefore, the new generation was always stronger then the previous - except Vader, he was weaker. As I read many times, Sidious was the most powerful Sith Lord of all time, "the Dark Side itself". A Dark nexus.

When I first watched Ep 1 and heard Palpatine's voice, I KNEW he was Darth Sidious.

if you ignore the OT. The Foreshadowing was obvious at Qui-Gons funeral, even his little offhand comment at young anakin. and comparing noses of the hooded figure and Senator Palpytine

The Foreshadowing was obvious at Qui-Gons funeral,

Right, and that smirk he has when the camera zooms on his face.

It was pretty obvious. I can tell by his nose

I remember watching Episode 1(I was 11 at the time) and then saw Palpatine and was like, 'the nose is the same'. The hood covers his eyes well, but not his nose
