Did you immediately realize that Palpatine and Darth Sidious were the same person? If not, when did you realize it?
I'm just curious as not realizing that right away would have made the experience of watching those films a lot different....

No i did not Episode III Yes i am slow. Interesting. I take it you must not have read any of the online speculation or message boards at the time? That's pretty cool though. I'd already known that the Emperor's name was Palpatine before I saw TPM from reading the novelizations of the OT films. So no surprise for me.

I saw the OT like a year prior to TPM coming out so dunno if I should count, but I did not realise that Sidious was the Emperor I don't think, I think in the OT didn't they just refer to him as the Emperor?
I did however notice the moment we saw Palps that he was also Sideous because the lower part of his face is obviously the same, and well what he said as Sidious made it obvious given how the movie played out, I did not realise that Ian Mcdiarmid that's his name right? was the guy who played the Emperor in ROTJ though...then again I was 12 at the time and more interested in the laser swords.

In the movies he was only called the Emperor, but he was called Palpatine in the novelizations and plenty of other materials.

Yeah never read that stuff, I'm a movies and tv guy, video games sometimes also but even then as I said I only just got into SW the year prior to TPM coming out and no one I knew were big into SW until the PT began and even then things like The Matrix and horror movies were the bigger pop culture items at the time for us.

I already knew going in. It made McDiarmid's performance that much more enjoyable to watch.
