Just a pawn of Sidious, a high ranking pawn, but a pawn. One that looks like him. A clone, or whatever.Darth Sidious could easily hang out in the dark bowels of Coruscant secretly while his double runs things in open view. Sidious could instruct Palpatine to fan the flames of Anakin's trip to the dark side.But this theory is very unlikely I know. So again, I don't take much stock in it. It was just a small fun wager between me and some friends.One thing I do wonder. If indeed Palpatine is Darth Sidious, at what point did a noble from Naboo turn into a powerful Sith Lord?  Was Palpatine's political background on Naboo faked? That seems like a hard thing to accomplish. I find it hard to imagine this young man from Naboo going through his political climb while at the same time learning to become a Sith Lord. But who knows...............Padme was a Senator in her early twenties right? Maybe it doesn't take that long to become one on Naboo. Maybe Palpatine from age 15-40 did nothing but do dark side stuff secretly, then went into politics. Its kinda weird sounding. I imagine getting to the level Sidious is at to be something that consumes a lot of time. I can imagine the election ballet for senator the first time Palpatine tries to become one."Check one of the following names for Senator:"___Nayma Admarie (4 years Queen's Council, 3 years Diplomat)___Vanaka Reema (7 years Foriegn Trade Administration)___Palpatine (...uh...25 years post graduate school. Yah, that's it)Okay, now I'm being silly. But its something to knock around in your head. Its possible, but I wonder if Lucas will explain it or not.</blockquote>
