Yeah, I was a never a fan of the decision to make Yoda CG. And it got even worse when the DVD came out, and the people on the commentary gushed how great he was every time he appeared on screen. It was so irritating.
And, THX, even though I've said it before here, it's still a little bit embarrassing, but I didn't think that Sidious and Palpatine were the same person until long after Attack of the Clones. It's not as bad as it sounds. I mean, I knew Palpatine became the Emperor (duh!). I simply thought it was far too obvious to have this black-cloaked guy be him too. I thought that Lucas was either trying to fool the audience with this lookalike Sith or, storyline-wise, was supposed to be Palpatine's master, explaining why Palpatine would go for a similar look once he came to power. To this day, I feel that I gave him too much credit.

I did have my suspicions as well. I was thinking 'as far as I know Palpatine is Darth Sidious for sure, but wouldn't it be a great plot twist if he wasn't?'. I think I pretty much quelled those suspicions after TPM, though, once I realised that both of the prequels were so crap that Lucas wouldn't even have thought of it.
