But the Emperor is never given a name in the OT. He's just "The Emperor", not Palpatine. So, I guess one could be fooled the whole time, but it would be pretty difficult. I still haven't watched the six films in chronological order, mostly because I don't want to bother with 1 and 2, but I think I might this weekend just to see what revelations arise.
