Darth Maul, the dark lord of the Sith who killed Qui-Gon and was supposed to be killed by Obi-Wan. Did the Jedi know that name? As I've posted before, I've been wondering since I first saw Clone Wars season 3. Because in the EP3 novels, in the Jedi Temple, Obi Wan describes Yoda as "the monster he killed on Naboo". In other words, for ten years the Jedi didn't have much of a clue that the Sith were real.
My thinking on this point led me to a view.
After the blockade of Naboo, the newly elected chancellor Palpatine is returning home, and the Jedi travel together from Coruscant to Naboo to figure out what Qui-Gon was talking about with the Sith. On board the ship, the Jedi celebrate Palpatine's election as chancellor and report that Qui-Gon was assassinated by someone. Mace and Yoda do not explicitly state that the assassin might be a Sith, but at this point Sidious realizes that his apprentice is dead. After arriving on Naboo, he sarcastically compliments Obi Wan on what he owes him.
At Qui-Gon's funeral, Sidious surreptitiously overhears Yoda and Mace's conversation. "I'm sure it was the Dark Lord of the Sith that Obi Wan killed. Was it your master or your apprentice who killed him?"
Sidious also learns that Anakin has become Obi-Wan's apprentice. This would have been an unexpected turn of events.
I had speculated that Maul's lower body was the basis for the Jedi's determination that he was a Sith dark lord. If Maul had been interrogated by the Jedi when he was supposed to be dead, it would have been the worst possible outcome for Sidious.
In fact, the Jedi would have had access to a hologram that recorded the three men's death struggle. Based on this, we can assume that the mysterious monster was a Sith because of the way it fought in the martial arts of the Jedi.
The Jedi show this hologram to Palpatine. In fact, he has already auditioned it with Playgus. As instructed by Playgus, the Chancellor decides to present the hologram as evidence at the trial to help the Jedi! Delighted, the Jedi attend the trial.
Palpatine asks Viceroy Gunray if he knows the identity of the monster that killed the Jedi and what it has to do with the blockade.
The Viceroy testifies that the monster is Darth Maul. As long as he had the evidence, he felt he had no choice. But he didn't pursue the question of whether Maul was a disciple of the Sith. Also, by hiding the Mecnocheir, he did not have to say anything about Sidious' existence. Since the shadowy enforcers of the blockade did not come out, it was not clear at the trial that Darth Maul was a Sith, and it was unclear whether the Sith were involved in the case. And Sidious, who conducted the inductive interrogation as Palpatine, arranged for the Viceroy not to be demoted.
After contemplating this sequence of events, Dooku consulted Palpatine. Thinking that a cunning mind was leading and operating behind the scenes, Dooku was beginning to understand the Sith cause. Palpatine is convinced that revealing his identity, the crafting of an ingenious plan, will be a powerful frame.
Contacted as a Sith by Dooku, who was lost in meditation before the holocron in the sanctuary.
"I am Sidious, the Sith master who trained Darth Maul. It is with great regret that your former disciple Qui-Gon is dead. You admire the martial arts of Maul, I know you have a great deal about you. I know a great deal about you. Aren't you interested in advancing the Sith cause? It won't be worth it to be a Jedi."
Fascinated by this boldness, Dooku has been in close relationship with Palpatine since this time.
"By the way, Lord Tyranus, how is the Chosen One doing?"
(I was under the misapprehension that only Sidious and Tyrannus had seen the holograms, so I couldn't figure out how the Jedi knew the name of the mall.
