That is true.
Palpatine was very careful in concealing the fact that he was Darth Sidious from the galaxy probably because he was well aware that it would unify them against him and his empire. After all there are certainly records of the Sith - and the terribly destructive wars, that can sometimes last for centuries, that they have wrought upon the galaxy - on many worlds across the galaxy. Not to mention the more long lived races likely remember them.

No. He just said he didn’t know the details of Sidious’ long term plan. But earlier in the Siege of Republic, he does talk about how the Republic will fall from within. Implying that he did at least know that Chancellor Palpatine was Sidious. He worked right under him & saw his face multiple times. There’s no way he didn’t know Sidious’ true identity.
I love the music in the videos
Palpatine painted the Jedi to be Force users who abused their powers to gain power and manipulate the Republic. Their counterparts, the Sith, were a largely unknown group and the Jedi were the only Force users most people in the Republic and other systems knew about. Mistrust in the Jedi and their supernatural powers was already growing before the Clone Wars, so Palpatine only had to play on commonly held beliefs, hatreds and superstitions. But that also made it difficutlt for him to show his Force potential, which would be similar to Hitler privately conversing with Jews and secretly being a Jew himself. Weird comparison, but Palpatine's rise to power was largely influenced by Hitler's rise to power in the 30's. The thing many seem to forget that Palpatine needed allies to undermine and destroy the Republic from within. He would also need allies to prop up his rule once the common enemy (the CIS and Jedi) was defeated. And for all his truly evil character, Palpatine did respect strong individuals to whom he was rather open. Tarkin and Thrawn would be two of those. Perhaps they were unaware of all of his powers, but both were intelligent enough to understand that Palpatine was much more than a human.
This is cool information and thanks for telling us. Great video
After the Empire started Palpatine lived as a Sith he didn't try to hide it.

Shocking that some people knew but everyone in the whole universe did not. Heck, I reckon if all those millions of people across the stars knew... Everyone would either freak or they would do whatever it took to somehow dispose of Darth Sidious. Heck, could you do a “What If Everyone Found Out Palpatine Was A Sith” video eventually? It would make a cool what if scenario in the Star Wars universe. Hmm, I wonder why Tarkin and other high ranking Imperials didn’t leave the Empire if they knew the truth. Oh I know, they had ambitions and didn’t care. Great Work, Fact Free. Thanks for the vid. I look forward to your next project!

I think most wouldn’t have cared or would have been too afraid of him to do anything about it. To them, there would have been a difference between being a Sith Lord and being a treasonous murdering warlord. Not that there actually is much difference but he made sure they thought differently.

nobody in that universe watches the star wars movies, so they wouldn't see his clues. lol. But even if they did most likely they still wouldnt figure it out, because in TCW we see some dudes call Maul and Savage a Jedi. So much of the galaxy probably doesn't know what a Sith is.

The Lore Master - Any chance you'd do some lore on the Star Wars Rebels and whatever happened to them afterwards either be canon or non or your own opinion to what would happen?
To know the whole senates secret identity is truly great
I always assumed bail organa and mon mothma knew after meeting up with Yoda and after Palpatine declared himself emperor for life, as the pieces finally came together

Maul was a insane crime lord so his word would hold nothing to Chancellor of the Republic.
In the name of the galactic Senate of the Republic you're under arrest Chancellor.
Do every Palpatine advisor in legends
Tarken knew as well, read his book also I believe Thrawan was aware of Palatines true identity .
DO IT!!!!!!
I knew it the whole time
It was Jar Jar
This list extends to Qi'ra, Crimson Dawn, and Crimson Dawn's allies.
I think Kix also knew. Edit: And Gallius Rax and maybe Thrawn.
Personnaly, I guested he was e sith lord because in every starwars comics, the emperor is named Palpatine. When you know that you see the episode 1, 2 and 3 with other eyes.
Where can you buy these comics? Nice video
That counts at least 24 people who knew or at least had their suspicions.

Tarkin had a hunch 🤔
Also the Zillow beast most likely knew as well
Luke Skywalker also knew and I'm sure he told Leia. I think the majority of the Jedi that survived Order 66 knew Palpatine was a Sith such as Jocasta Nu, and likely Kanan

i have a question : is it common knowledge in the new republic that palpatine was a sith lord and what his plan were during the clone war, if not, why?
See Palpatine was only Emperor cause he LIED to the rest of the senate & they didn't even know who & what he REALLY was!😣
Never did trust those funny hats 😂
“Dew it”
What if Anakin knew Mace could use the Dark Side?
Follow up question. Besides the Jedi, obviously, who really cared that he was a Sith Lord? The only thing that would bring to attention is what kind of powers does he have? Other than that, would anyone have cared about what faith/religion he follows?
Yeah, I don't think imperial citizens would've taken kindly to Palpatine being a member of a long dead religion.
I'm sure the inquisitors would know he was a sith lord.

Sylas6540 I always saw the traditional sith eye color as having yellowish pupils, black irises, and red discoloration, like they blew a blood vessel or were very bloodshot😂 I’ve just found Sidious to be an outlier to this trend and wanted to know if there was any superficial reason.
Also Delta and Omega squads plus all around them knew Sheev was a Sith
Wouldn’t have General Grievous had known too since he had to kidnap him in the first place?
Thrawn probably knew too.
I think that Fives knew that also
I wonder if anymore people found out about who knew Palpatine’s true identity? And it’s obvious that his Royal Guards knew that he was Sith Lord.
Thrawn probably knew as well
Palpatine is more than a Sith Lord. He is the Senate!
Isn't it hinted at that Fives also knew?
Mace Windu and the Jedi he went against palpatine with knee cause anakin told him who told them, same way Yoda and Obi Wan knew
I'm loving how the Jedi Order did nothing to stop this, the Sith Lord you've been looking for years is standing right in front of you! Kill him! Oh wait they didn't..., because it's not the Jedi way to take a life of a Sith Lord.😑😒
Palpatine is Darth Sidious? No steel who is this imposter?
Oh yeah small handful
Thrawn knew
Literally everyone on this list be like: “I think Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord.”
You forgot to mention the entire Star Wars fandom
He was only known as one thing... he was the senate
Look up the Gaian class GALAXY DESTROYER.
It's funny how General Grievous doesn't know
