Comment Pretty obvious IMHO (Score 1) 68

The nose and chin of Darth Sidious (in the hologram and with Darth Maul) are pretty visible... and very identifiable IMHO as Palpatine's. *shrug* Personally, I think it's obvious. We know Palpatine becomes the Emperor. We know what the Emperor's fashion sense is like. We know he can do nasty tricks with Force lightning (though it has always been somewhat satisfying to watch Mark Hamill suffer!). So he's pretty obviously a Sith Lord, and as such gets the title of "Darth" tacked onto the front of his name.

The title scheme actually makes a lot of sense if you compare it to, say, European monarchies. (Please excuse me while I butcher this horribly -- it's quite late in my world.) JQ Royal can be Earl of Whichevershire and reffered to as just "Whichevershire." Likewise, we can have Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and refer to him as Vader.

Oh, and Sidious' voice in the trailer matches the Emperor's. :-)

Yes, I have the trilogy burned onto my retinas for quick reference. No, I guess that means I don't have a life. ;-)
