Summary. Some dark siders can conceal their appearance with the Force, hiding physical signs of corruption like yellow eyes and aged features. Palpatine's yellow Sith eyes may have been hidden through a dark side illusion, potentially masking his true form from the Jedi.
When the Emperor was still Chancellor Palpatine, he kept his flaming eyes hidden, appearing as any regular person would. This proves that a Sith can knowingly hide his evil appearance from those around him when necessary. Other Sith don't usually bother hiding their eye color from others.
called force clouding. It was a cloaking technique that the Sith used. to conceal themselves from other force users. by pulling their powers inward. It basically created an illusion, allowing the Sith masters and apprentices. to go out in public and interact with Jedi.
More adept Sith like Palpatine can also hide their yellow eyes by controlling their emotions. He was obviously never going to use the dark side when in public as the Chancellor, so his eyes stayed blue there.
3 Deleted Scenes LITERALLY CHANGE how Anakin Became Vader
Why didn't Kylo Ren have Sith eyes?
However, joining the Sith means declaring loyalty to the dark side, which Anakin did before his eyes turned yellow. This may explain why Kylo Ren, torn between the light and dark, didn't have yellow eyes in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, as killing his father split his spirit even more.
Sith eyes are from fully embracing the darkside. Dooku was a weak Sith in that he wasn't fully immersed in the Dark. Kind of like Ventress. That is why neither had permanent eye change.
Palpatine used his powers to hide his true nature from the Jedi, utilizing Force Concealment to completely hide his presence in the Force while clouding the Force for the Jedi. The Clone Wars also kept the Jedi busy and weakened, preventing them from realizing his true identity.
However, he abandoned most of his love of the arts when he became Emperor in favor of expanding his power. In addition, although Sidious openly acknowledged that he's a Sith Lord, he also did not consider himself evil, but rather thought of himself as a savior.
In 65 BBY, he met Hego Damask, a Muun businessman who was in reality the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis. Under Plagueis's manipulation, Palpatine killed his father and pledged himself to his new Master's dark side teachings as Darth Sidious.
Windu eventually gets the better of Palpatine before deflecting his Force Lightning back against him, which appears to twist and melt Palpatine's face as his body begins to smoke, turning him into the grotesque embodiment of the Sith that acts as the final antagonist for both Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi ...
The most agreed upon theory, started by Reddit user Lumparoo in 2016, is that Jar-Jar is a powerful Force-user conspiring with Darth Sidious. In addition to this, some believe he either trained, or was supposed to become Supreme Leader Snoke, or that he is a reincarnation of Darth Plagueis.
History. A dark side warrior with a mysterious past, Kylo Ren was neither Jedi nor Sith, but a product of both sides' teachings. Once an apprentice of Luke Skywalker's, he killed his fellow students and drove Skywalker into exile, becoming a First Order warlord and servant of Supreme Leader Snoke.
He was: Darth Tyrannus. His persona as Count Dooku was better suited to his role as leader of the Separatist faction. If he revealed himself as a Sith publicly, rather than just a former Jedi who left the order because of its supposed corruption, that would have damaged his credibility to most of the Separatists.
He was fully in control of the fight when he was blasting Luke. Instead of trying to outright kill his enemy, Palpatine just used enough force lightning to torture him for his entertainment. Not only that, but Luke didn't have to endure it for as long as the Sith Lord.
Years after his death, during her duel with Jacen Solo, Lumiya alluded to Palpatine, saying he was a "psychopath consumed by power.". Palpatine's manipulative behaviour cannot be exaggerated as he manipulated the entire galaxy into doing his bidding.
In truth, the Sith normally wielded enough powers to fight without a lightsaber, but every apprentice still learned to use one as part of his or her training. Sidious himself felt that he and his peers had outgrown the use of lightsabers, and only continued carrying them to mock the Jedi.
Return of the Jedi establishes that Yoda was aware that Anakin Skywalker had fallen to the dark side and become Darth Vader. When questioned by Luke Skywalker, he confided that Anakin was Darth Vader. Later, Obi-Wan Kenobi's Force ghost confirmed that Anakin had indeed fallen to the dark side and become Darth Vader.
Indeed he did. Dooku (aka Darth Tyrannus) knew his master's identity. At this point the Jedi thought Dooku was the Sith Master. The kidnapping was planned to reinforce public support for Palpatine while further confusing the Jedi about his true identity.
