He was still completely unaware of the Sidious/ Palpatine connection until ROTS. He also said during TCW season 6 that the Jedi order must believe in the
He once stood in the middle of the Jedi Council, and not a single Jedi Master (including Yoda) could sense the dark side in him. Moreover, he also used a technique known as “Sever Force,” to dampen the Force abilities of every single Jedi in the galaxy, with little to no effort as well.
Originally Answered: Did Yoda know that Palpatine was evil before episode 3? No. They thought he might be under the influence of the Sith lord they were searching for, but got no further than that since he could mask his presence.
When Senator Palpatine succeeded Valorum as Chancellor, Amedda retained his position under the Republic's new leader. Amedda was one of the few in the galaxy who knew Palpatine was a Sith Lord, and assisted the Chancellor as Speaker of the Senate, helping him manipulate Senators into granting him more and more power.
As powerful as Darth Sidious may have been, it's easy to forget he actually seemed afraid of Master Yoda. As seen in Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine initially thought he could deal with the aged Jedi Master - and then, when Yoda proved able to counter the Sith Lord's Force lightning, he fled.
If Maul knew, he would have tole Obi Wan or another Jedi during the Clone Wars. Dooku knew Palpatine was Sidious as he told Obi-Wan about him controlling the senate and referred to him as the dark lord. There's no real way of actually knowing if he knew ab palpatine.
The strongest among the Exiles, Ajunta Pall, became the first to hold the title Dark Lord of the Sith. His contemporaries, such as Karness Muur and XoXaan, became Sith Lords. The human Dark Jedi interbred with the Sith species, who also had an affinity for the Dark Side. They would become the original Sith Empire.
The novel details Plagueis betraying and overthrowing of his own master Darth Tenebrous; his work as head of a powerful banking consortium on the Muun homeworld; his discovery, recruitment, and training of the teenaged Palpatine of Naboo; and the efforts of Plagueis to undermine the Galactic Republic and ensure the ...
Palpatine admits to Darth Vader that the Jedi he actually feared most was none other than Jocasta Nu.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
Yoda didn't specifically know how this would go down, or to what degree Anakin would cause it to happen, but he was playing a much longer game by Revenge of the Sith, and that's at least, in part, explained by Yoda's Force connection with Qui-Gon's spirit.
palpatine was a master of deception. and for years. he employed the use of a sith cloaking technique. known as a force mask.
Yoda's Duel With Palpatine Called for a Strategic Shake-Up
Yoda claims that the light side of the Force is stronger than the dark, but his battle against Palpatine is almost equal. The Sith Lord's powers were enough to overwhelm the Jedi and send him plummeting down to the depths of the senate chamber.
In truth, the Sith normally wielded enough powers to fight without a lightsaber, but every apprentice still learned to use one as part of his or her training. Sidious himself felt that he and his peers had outgrown the use of lightsabers, and only continued carrying them to mock the Jedi.
The Dathomirian Sith Lord is without a doubt one of the best Sith in Star Wars history. His debut in The Phantom Menace as Darth Sidious' first apprentice, may have been short, but the epic final fight, more than made him a fan favorite, showcasing his awesome double-bladed lightsaber and his skills with it.
Truly, the most powerful Sith Lord was Darth Sidious, better known in his public persona of Chancellor (later Emperor) Palpatine. Through cunning and manipulation, Sidious killed his master to claim the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith.
Darth Sidious and Darth Vader were the last Sith Lords who followed Bane's Rule of Two. The war's end in 19 BBY, a thousand years after Bane's death, saw the culmination of the Sith's millennium-long vendetta against the Jedi. Sidious declared himself Emperor and reformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire.
He also knew that Anakin had been corrupted by the dark side of the Force, and he wanted to spare him from any further suffering or guilt. By not saying anything when Anakin was about to execute him, Count Dooku showed mercy towards his former apprentice and allowed himself to pass away with dignity.
Dooku Foresaw Order 66, But He Didn't Predict His Own Death
Throughout the Clone Wars, Jedi and Clone Troopers bravely fought shoulder-to-shoulder for democracy, so when Order 66 was issued, the Jedi would not see their betrayal coming, as such actions are fundamentally out of character for the Clones.
Indeed he did. Dooku (aka Darth Tyrannus) knew his master's identity. At this point the Jedi thought Dooku was the Sith Master. The kidnapping was planned to reinforce public support for Palpatine while further confusing the Jedi about his true identity.
During Palpatine's reign as Emperor, his apprentice's true identity was kept a secret, leaving only a few Star Wars characters aware Anakin was Darth Vader. Besides Obi-Wan, Master Yoda also knew the truth, as well as Ahsoka Tano, R2-D2 and C-3Po, and even Senator Bail Organa.
Yup. In fact he was nearly blown up by him. Anakin Skywalker was aware of Boba after the Battle of Geonosis, but he didn't really pay attention until later in the Clone Wars. There's a couple episodes where Boba infiltrates and takes down a Venator Star Destroyer to get back at Mace Windu.
Mace Windu gave an explanation to Palpatine before leaving. Boba Fett was led away into Palpatine's office for his meeting.
