    Where did Darth Sidious train to be a Sith?  If there were so many Jedis scattered through the Galaxy, they would have sensed the Dark Side being used somehow?

    It's not said when Palpatine became Plagueis' apprentice. But he was probably young when it happened.
     
    Palpatine and Plagueis weren't the only Sith. Plagueis had a master before taking Palpatine as his apprentice. Since 1,000 BBY, there were always two Sith Lords. So the Sith didn't suddenly return. They've been around, but the Jedi didn't know that. Plus the fact that it was only two Sith probably allowed them to be discreet.

    Darth Plagueis taught him, but just for a laugh ever wonder what he did post ROTJ? BTW this is just some G4 comedy sketch I think is funny, not an official video and in no way endorsed by Comic Vine or Whiskey Media.... all that said this is funny!
