i know....this one's gotten so boring by now....discussed so many times, and never a conclusive answer....i've heard all the theories so many times it's ridiculous....it just goes round in the same tiresome circle, over and over....
it says palpatine's 50....it doesn't say anything about sidious does it?....and i'm not saying they're different people here by the way....

Yeah I perfectly understand, but your saying here that Palpatine could claim he's 50(in Episode1), while his Sidious alter-ego could be 500 or so...COME ON...
That's why this subject never ends...Palpatine/Sidious is NOT 100 or 1000 years or so.
Palpatine had a master, his master had a master and his master had a master...and so on till we get back at the Sith-rule of TWO.
Or else we can get ridiculous in theories here.
Just wait for the new movie.
CLOSE THIS THREAD PLEASE?!?!?! 😠 😉 😄
hmmm.....i won't cry if he's not real old, but i don't see why he couldn't be....it doesn't seem like a silly idea to me....yoda's 900, chewie's 300....palpatine seems like a character who could've been lurking around in the shadows for a damn long time to me....think about it, he's the flipside to yoda....and the sith have been extinct for a millenia....palpatine's master could've been that last sith that mace refers to....patience is palpatine's strength, and a rock solid plan, with no holes, a can't lose situation, because it's so well thought out.....a few hundred years planning fits with all that to me....and look at his face....not saying it's due to age, but the way his face looks, makes it a reasonable idea to say he could be fairly aged.....
anyway, as usual there are no concrete answers to be found here....it's gonna end with "oh well, i guess we'll just have to wait and see".....it can't end any other way, and never has the other 100 times this has been discussed....i just don't think the idea can be dismissed as "silly" that's all....
easily explained:
Palpatine is clouding the vision of ever single jedi in the council since episode 1. That is why this whole thing starts. Jedi loose the ability to use the force to see things. So I will be the billionth and one person to answer this obvious question.
"Shoud I advise the council that we have lost the ability to use the force?" Mace says to Yoda.
"No. Multiply our advisaries shall if knowledge of our ability to not use the force is known." answers Yoda.
Obviously they coundnt see right in front of them. Hence the Phantom Menace.
IT'S BEEN EXPLAINED. PLEASE, NO MORE THREADS ABOUT THIS!
Mace deflects sith lightning into Palpy's face and that causes him to reveal his true self. This is from the official REVENGE OF THE SITH visual dictionary.
