Palpatines Pre-history

Interesting notion.

'Had he been born on a republic world, we'd have detected him early'

He would not have to leave the body, just kinda go to sleep. Taken to the logical conclution, it could be that Palpy doesn't even know sidous in inside his head. It would be amost liek someone with multipul personality disorder who's main personality is not aware of the alter ego.

However how do you explain this in ep3 without doing something as clashe' as 'Now before I destroy you, let me tell you my deepest secrets'

Is this like Obi-Wan's point of view explanation to Luke about Anakin/Vader?

I'm pretty sure his homeworld is Naboo and therefore was born there

No,this is well established clashe. Obi-Wan's explation is GL using litterairy duck tape to cover a plot hole.

OF course 'Now before I destroy you....' can only be properly said by someone with a handle bar mustash, and a go'tee.

Ya, and Hillary is a life long Yakee's fan.

'Lifelong Yankees fan' is an oxymoron.

'My Uncle Darth Bane molested me.'

The movies may never tell us how he came to be such a master of deceit and dark side powers.

Unless the Sith found him first?

I think that Palpatine's midichlorian count is about the same as Anakin's. I also think he is Anakin's father.
