I've never understood the confusion about whether Palpatine was the Sith Lord or not.  I guess it's because I read the original novelisations, and the Emperor is referred to as Palpatine on numerous occasions.  I sort of enjoyed seeing the characters fumbling about not knowing their trusted ally was actually setting them all up, and Palpatine's carefully hidden satisfaction at manipulating them so thoroughly.  It's one of the few good things about the prequel movies to me.
