The Sifo Dias mystery was something I didn't get until about my third time watching the movie. I first thought that Qui-Gon was Sifo Dias. I think Sifo Dias should of been Count Dooku. It would make it less confusing. It doesn't make sense because there is really no backstory to this Sifo Dias fellow. Why he would call for an army makes no sense.
Yeah, I STILL don't know where Lucas was going with that sub plot...? Was it Sidious who ordered them?
