Fandom. Question: Did Maul know Sidious was Palpatine? In legends he did. In the darth plagueis novel I'm pretty sure there's a part where maul was reflecting on his master's political machinations and how he is publicly known as palpatine.
He even revealed Palpatine's plan to Ahsoka at the end of The Clone Wars, but she refused to believe him. So Maul knew if he outed Palpatine, all he would do is bring the wrath of his former master upon him -- something he wanted to avoid at all costs.
Maul didn't say anything because Sidious had already beaten the Jedi, the last defenders of the Republic, by playing dirty when they wouldn't, by corrupting literally everything around them except for them (and even then, the Jedi's morals did get compromised because of the war).
Like Master Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi learned Palpatine's true identity in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Where Yoda went after Palpatine, Obi-Wan targeted Darth Vader himself.
Amedda was one of the few beings in the galaxy who knew Palpatine's secrets, most notably his true identity as a Sith Lord.
Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar confronted Chancellor Palpatine upon learning of his secret identity as a Sith Lord.
Darth Plagueis is mentioned in Rae Carson's novelization of the 2019 film The Rise of Skywalker. In the book, it is revealed that Palpatine had discovered Plagueis' "secret to immortality", using this knowledge to resurrect himself after his death in Return of the Jedi.
He was still completely unaware of the Sidious/ Palpatine connection until ROTS. He also said during TCW season 6 that the Jedi order must believe in the clones and end the war before the Sith's plans are realized.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
Just before Anakin walks in to talk to him, Palpatine can be seen looking at his Death Star plans in his own office.
Well, to be literal, she was never mentioned because she hadn't been created at the time Episode III was made. But speaking in terms of the Star Wars canon, perhaps she just wasn't mentioned on screen.
Though the Clone Wars were all but over, the Jedi were in terrible danger. Anakin revealed to Mace that the Sith Lord sought by the Jedi since the fight with Darth Maul was none other than Palpatine himself.
Thought dead, Darth Maul survived his injuries by focusing on his hatred of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi who cut him in half. His shattered body was dumped amid the refuse of the junk planet Lotho Minor, where the once deadly warrior fell into madness, staying alive on a diet of vermin.
The showdown on Coruscant was a confrontation that took place in the Supreme Chancellor's Suite of the Galactic Senate in 19 BBY. It began after Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker informed Master Mace Windu that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had revealed his identity as a Sith Lord to him.
With Chancellor Palpatine's death, the de facto "Prime Minister" of the Republic, the Senate would be left without a leader and there would be considerable political confusion and chaos. There would be a need to elect a new chancellor to lead the democratic government.
Dooku defeated Obi-Wan, but Anakin in turn disarmed him, severing his hands and holding his sabers at the count's neck. To Dooku's shock, his secret master then told Anakin to kill him. Sidious had indeed betrayed Dooku, and a flick of Skywalker's wrists ended the count's life.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
killed by an Imperial strike team, his dark side, like many Seth before him, refused to let go of life.
For him, finding and killing Maul for his failure simply wasn't worth the effort. In the end, Palpatine was right, but his carelessness and disregard for attachment proved to be his undoing when Darth Vader's bond with his son Luke was stronger than the Emperor could ever possibly imagine.
The Jedi didn't find Palpatine for a very good reason, and his master, Darth Plagueis, only found him by chance. While plotting to force Naboo onto an expanding galactic stage because of a plasma reserve, Plagueis decided to use a Naboo nobleman's son – who had already leaked damning information once – as a spy.
To summarise: Master Yoda could not warn the other Jedi about Order 66 because he did not know about it until it happened. He knew the Jedi would die, just not how or when the blade would drop.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
Darth Sidious was able to cheat his upcoming death by transferring his spirit into a clone body while falling into the reactor core of the second Death Star.
