Played by: Ian McDiarmid Darth Sidious is the last of the Sith. Darth Sidious is the one responsible for the attempt of the invasion of the planet Naboo. When Darth Sidious needs an important job done, he calls on his loyal apprentice, Darth Maul. Through most of The Phantom Menace, Darth Sidious appears as a hologram. He keeps himself well hidden, and in fact, none of the Jedi really knows he exists. That is why he is known as "The Phantom Menace." |
