Assuming the Neimoidians were tried in court after TPM, I think they would have blabbed the truth. I mean, they're not the strongest willed creatures are they? I'd have thought they would have been killed by Sidious before they talked. Apparently it is Nute Gunreay in Ep2, and he meets a fiery end at the hands of a certain bounty hunter (or so many believe).
palpas goes to Naboo at the end of E.I . now if the infiltraitor does have a clocking sheild the he would know how to find it and possibly destroy it.
with regard to the nemoidians he has the ability to control the weak, i think he promised them a deal if they got caught your on your own but i will help you at a later date 😕
If the Neimodians were indeed brought to trial then they would have been accused and tried by the Republic. And we all know who's in charge there: Palpy. He sure would prevent any info about Sidious or a Sith controlling them to leak. Remember that line from JFK: "Ask yourself who has the power to organise such an operation, who has the power to execute it and who has the power to cover it up?"
I just thought i'd add a few things.
Someone mentioned earlier that the Sith Infiltrator has a cloaking device. It can't have because in the OT when Han attatches the falcon to the star destroyer, one of the imps says "a ship that small can't have a cloaking device".
Also, the neimodiens are cowards. One of them openly defied Sidious as they were obviously more afraid of the Jedi. I think they would shop Sidious at the first opportunity to the Jedi. Thats why I think Palpy would have to put a cap in all the Neimodians they have jailed.
Both are unimportant but I just thought i would have my 2 pence worth!!!
The Sith undoubtedly have unusually advanced technology, remember that Palpatine's funding of the Sith could have afforded gadgets unthinkable to even wealthiest pirates and smugglers 30 years later. Take the macrobinoculars for example, Ep1 hinted at some sort of advanced targetting systems which they didn't have in the original episodes.
Ush, I was ribbing you. 😉
And my theory on the more advanced electronics is that there may have been better equipment available to ordinary folks and of course to the folks on the 'wrong side' in TPM times. Later when Palpy takes over I bet he makes it harder for ordinary people to own more advanced techs. If you are less well equiped than your subjegator (sp?) then you'd be less likely to raise a revolt.
At least that's what I'd do if I were Emperor. That, and blow Tattoine to bits. That is first on my list. 😮💨
