I’m watching the prequel trilogy with the kids. Fucking hell, these are long films. One question ran through my mind after AOTC finished: are we as an audience meant to know that Palpetine is Sideous? With hindsight / half a brain it seems obvious but is that what was intended?

Yeah, it’s meant to be clear and the credits are even explicit about it.
More complicated from AOTC is all the Syfo-Dias stuff which feels like it was left over from an earlier draft and as far as I know is never really explained.

Syfo-Dias = Sidious.
There was always the Q of would there be another twist to amp the tragedy? The answer is: No, there wasn’t.

That was always the implication but the way Obi-Wan talks about him it sounds like Syfo-Dias was someone separate that he actually knew and who died before AOTC. For it to be Sidious implies quite a convoluted explanation that is never provided.

Oh, there’s two entire back stories constructed for that. The older was more light touch, the newer has more been a deeper exploration of Dooku, who was on the down path for a good while before encountering Sidious.
