Was Palpy=Sideous supposed to be some sort of surprise? I overheard a lady a couple months back in the toy isle at Target saying to a friend while looking at the Palpy=Sideous figure, "I knew that he was Darth Sideous! I was telling everyone at work and no one believed me!" I thought this was absurd. If the movies proper didn't make it obvious, the fact that Ian was credited as Senator Palpatine/Darth Sideous in every movie should have been a clue.

Anyways, I thought there might be an explanation about how Palpatine had split personalities or maybe was possessed or something... but RotS put that to rest.
