In the edit I am producing (Ep 1), I was going to eliminate any references to there being two Sith, and adding mystery to who the Sith Lord is.

This mean removing the Darth Maul introduction, darkening any faces underneath the cowls, and altering the voices so it doesn't sound like Palp.

Why? I think it adds more mystery to what the Sith is. The audience (if watching it for the first time), will think that Darth Maul has been the Sith Lord behind everything and then gets killed. But right at the end, Yoda and Mace say that there is always a Lord and Apprentice.. which one was killed?

This reveal will have a lot more impact than before, and make people wonder who the Sith Lord really is. Then, after the conversation, there will be the pan to Palp's face. Then it should click into place to the audience that Palp had created this Naboo invasion in order to become Chancellor.
