i read that all the records of him being there and having family were destroyed. did he just choose a planet with a fairly weak military to become senitor for so he could begin the war and use sympathy to become chancellor? he could have forged some records when he was in his 20s that say he was born there and left to explore or some other reason, and begun his political career there after carefully choosing it as a tool for him to become emperor. his origins and personal history are never really discussed and it was fairly convenient for him to have been born on a planet that would fit in with his plans so well. but, maybe im just overthinking it. opinions?
That's a BIG "what if" to throw at an already solid foundation.

I agree.
He's the Naboo Senator, he represents the Naboo, the greatest likelihood is, therefore, that he is from Naboo, so without any evidence to say otherwise, why think any different?

I'm guessing this is who he was before he discovered the Dark Side, at which point he took great care to conceal his identity as his master did. He kept the Palpatine identity to use in his grand scheme.
Sidious was originally from Naboo. Not hard to believe, just weird to think about. I'm sure he visited Byss at some point, as it was rumored that's where he first appeared as a Sith.

I heard he was from a planet that governed itself in an imperial or monarchy style government. The Republic and Jedi supported the Democratic revolution which slaughtered his family and he escaped as a refugee to Naboo. He obviously harbored deep resentment for the Republic and the Jedi. This helped lead him to his twisted turn to the dark side. I forgot where I read this though. Maybe it was fan fiction. But damn good fan fiction.
Really now, if Palpy is just from Naboo then how the hell did he get so evil? Cause he read some books and had a "just cuz" attitude? Cause he was born evil? Lucas is the last to believe that people are born evil. That's why he told the story of Anakin in the first place. So even Palpatine must have come from somewhere valid.
BEcause he wasn't always senator, he's already getting up there in years by that time, he'll have had time to become Sith Lord.
