    I think it would be great, to learn his past and how he became a Sith lord as well as who taught him. I'd also like to see where he was born as well as how he got into politics. Basically the book could over shadow from when he was born to when he died (yes, that means the second time he died too. aka Dark Empire)

    I think Gandolf the Grey has or is making a fanfic like that. He calls it I, Sith(I may be mistaken I've looked and haven't found it yet)

    Anyway I think it's a marvelous idea but surely not Palpy's entire lifestory perhaps from when he was a Sith apprentice to when he became Emperor.
    And if that is well received a sequel chronicling him as Emperor to when he died at Endor.

    I'm not sure but I think that Palpatine is from Naboo, considering he was Naboo's senator, but I could be wrong.

    We need filling in as COD seems quite contradictory as in this book palpy is rather level heading and seems to have no anti alien bias as shown in the scene where he points to the fact that there is no statues of aliens in a certain square (only read it once) also we have seen no demonstration of his force powers in the guise of palpy even though he would have to have a huge ability to blind Yoda and co. in ep2.

    A Palpy book thats post-Episode 3 but pre-SOTE would be great, but I don't want to know too much about his origins or even who trained him.

    You're starting to sound like Ki-Adi-Mundi. :p About a thousand years before ANH, Darth Bane created the one master/one apprentice rule. Presumably, it's been one master/one apprentice all the way down to Palpatine. Now we don't know what happens to Palpatine's master, but we (or I) assume he had one.

    I think that was uncalled for.


    I'm torn. I would like to know more about Palpy, but I also think that the mystery suits him. I haven't made up my mind on this issue yet.

    Well it's nice to know that you're capable of living up to your name Darth Basher [face_plain]

    I'm not sure how much about Palpatine's background I want to know, But I would like to see a book about a young Palpatine (as the aide to the senator from Naboo?) and a young Qui-Gon (and thus Dooku)...

    Three stories, that only the reader (and the Sith) know are one.

    1. Dooku and Qui-Gon on some bizarre (and dark) mission that involves the senator from Naboo
    2. A young Palpatine accompanying his boss--Gui-Gon seemed almost friendly in his greeting to Palpatine on Coruscant in TPM
    3. A young Darth Sidious on his first solo mission.

    Whether we actually learn that Palpatine=Sidious...I would say no, but the clues are there.

    do we know for certain senator palpatine=emperor palpatine? has anyone ever thought sidious may be senator P's brother using him as a puppet, or something of that nature? we know lucas likes secret family twists, and it seems like actually saying siduos=senator has been purposefully avoided for a reason. its been a while since i read CoD, but i think most shady actions we've seen from the good senator could be explained if hes being forced to do them rather than opting to. i dunno, maybe its a dumb idea, but something seems funny about the whole situation.

    Lucas said that they are one in the same. There will probably be a scene in EP III where Sidious pulls down his hood and folks who don't know are the same person are shocked to see Palpatine.

    for god's sake... they are the same.

    You're trying to make things too complicated... before the PT we ask for an explanation HOW palpatine did that... well Lucas gives us an explanation, a very well thought out one at that... a guy controls both sides = he can play each side against each other = he can take over.

    It couldn't be more clear cut... and you guys are all looking for a "deep secret plot point". THERE ISN'T ONE!

    Face it, we've been given the explanation, it's been covered, NOW, we just need to see how anakin became vader... simple as that... Star Wars isn't as complicated as some fans would like it to be.

    Sheesh.

    could be cool, I want to know WHY he's so intent on taking over the universe, this guy's Hitler....what happened in his youth to make him hate everything, he's a speciest, a racist, an ego maniac, but why is he so evil...please give us his history, something that could fill in gaps of how he raised Maul and turned Dooku as well....

    Why is everyone so sure that Paly is a racist? There is nothing in the films that hint that, and Darth Maul was an alien. So why is everyone so sure that he hates alien? Is there a stormtroper thing, that there are only human ones?

    Hey guys, I'm sorry, I don't read alot of interviews and stuff, just watch the movies and read the books. It seemed like its been avoided so far, saying that they are the same (in the sources i follow) and it seems pretty obvious that they are the same, so i thought it might've been a trick. Its not overcomplicating, just a simple plot twist that we've seen before (as in characters not being who we thought they were). I stand corrected, I just didn't know it'd officially been said.

    To answer a few earlier questions:

    Palpatine was indeed born on Naboo, which is how he (as Sidious) knows it will be an easy target for the Trade Fed. It also shows just how evil he is to blockade his own planet

    And his first name is Frank.

    If there was a book on Darth Sidius/Emperor Palpatine then it would ruin the whole mysterius image that he conveys. I would prefer if it was just left up to peoples imagination.
