Palpatine/Sidious Question

Ok I was wondering something. I know Palpatine and Darth Sidious are the same person right, but isn't Sidious the same person as Sifo-Dyas too?

If Sidious IS Sifo-Dyas, how would he have time to train as a jedi all those years at the jedi temple (they talk about him becoming a master) and be a senator for Naboo (as Palpatine)?

If Sifo-Dyas is not Sidious, then who the heck is Sifo_Dyas?

If you don't understand my questions just ask me to explain them better:) Thanks in advance for any helpful info

Your right about that, Sifodyas may have been turned to the darkside and actually did make the order himself, they really don't say.

It looks to me like Dooku ran that part of things for the emperor. It only makes sense to me that he would also have either impersonated syfodyas or sent the dude to do it.

There isn't any proof though that dooku did impersonate sifodyas though. We know that dooku and tyranus are the same but we don't know that dooku also ordered the clone army just that he recruited Fett, which simply means that whoever ordered the clone army is connected to palpatine and dooku, whether it is one of them or not is really speculation.

Guys, when Obi-Wan talks with Jango at Kamino, Jango says that the man that recruited him for the Clone's was a Jedi called Tyrannus.

Tyrannus is Dooku. Dooku impersonated Sifodyas.

Interesting point, Charon, that perhaps Sifo-Dyas had been used by our friend Sidious to place the order for the army and then removed from the picture for the "no witnesses" policy.

I have heard this theory before, as a matter of fact, just not when it was put forth so concisely.
Well done.

Obi-Wan says in the film that Syfodyas was a council member, I didn't pull that out of thin air :)

The original Dyas was a Jedi Master, though that position doesn't automatically qualify him to be on the council, to clarify that question. Remember, Qui-Gonn was a master as well, not just a Knight. During the time of the Naboo blockade, he was the only Master who was not on the council, and the Cerean Ki-Adi Mundi was only a Knight, but a member of the council. So it's not allways a matter of ranking.
The Dyas that placed the order for the clone army, very well could have been the real Dyas. Palapatine has been planning a long time, and he was known to to close to many of the Jedi. It's my thought that Dyas was coerced or tricked into placing the order for the clone army, then convienently killed by Plapatine, either directly or at his direction, to keep the order a secret from the council. Untill the devious bastard could ascend to "temporary" sole power in the Senate, in which case, the Army of the republic becomes his to direct, without the time or risk of debate.
The army is then directed at Dooku's driod army, since he's known to be the leader of the separationists. Dooku loses effectivly nothing more than a chess game, that he planned on losing anyway. The battles to reign in separationists, lead to police actions, martial law, and eventually escelates to imperialism.

Or maybe I've read Shogun one too many times.

I beleive Kal to be correct.
Chances are that Sifo-Dyas was a Jedi Master as Obi-Wan recalls the fact that Sifo-Dyas had been killed around the time of Episode I... after all, is it possible to kill what is not?
I am thinking that it was Dooku who went to Kamino at Sidious' behest and placed the order for the clone army while masquerading as Sifo-Dyas for legitimacy. A Republican Senator/future Chancellor's face might just be recognized too easily for him to go flitting about the galaxy personally to seam together all of his many machinations.
The Dark Lord of the Sith did not get that name from being careless.

Syfodyas was a member of the jedi council who was killed during the time of the events of Episode 1. He was a real person in the story EP 2.

He never appeared in the story physically. I believe either Palpatine or Dooku impersonated him in order to get the ball rolling on the Clone Army.

I don't think Sifo-Dyas is ever really shown in anything EU yet. MY bet is that he was a real Jedi Master. He died due to some occurence, age health, murder? Since he was dead recently at the time the clone army started to be created, it wouldn't be very widespread that that jedi master had died. And since not everyone sees a Jedi Palpatine could probably have taken his name quite easily to trick the Kaminoans. Its also possible that Dooku took the name to make it seem like the Jedi Council ordered the clone army. This is all really speculation of course, but I find it hard to believe that Palpatine was leading a triple life as a Senator Sith and Jedi Master. That would be rather hard to disguise himself as Sifo-Dyas on the Council and as Senator Palpatine. Also, for him to use the Force would be through his dark emotions. Yoda was able to sense that Dooku was doing this so he wouldn't really be able to hide that he's touched the Darkside and claims to be thinking happy thoughts around a council of the strongest Jedi. I can almost bet that he isn't using the Force at all when he is around the Jedi. Vader could sense Luke's raw potential in the Death Star Trench. Qui Gon could sense Anakins abilities being around him. Even if Palpatine was using the darkside on Coruscant, does he seem stupid enough to use it right infront of the Jedi?
