DeutschGamer Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 He had a big family affair and refused to be called by his first name, only responding to Palpatine. It just kind of stayed that way and there is only speculation as to what his first name may have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creovex Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yes, he does have a first name and it is Harold. However, he was called Darth Kumar before he changed it to Sidious.. And he really wanted a White Castle burger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerodian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Garth. But then he found out he was going to be called Darth Garth and dropped it in favor of his last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi_Im_A_Sith Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Garth. But then he found out he was going to be called Darth Garth and dropped it in favor of his last name. Then why isn't he Darth Palpatine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerodian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Then why isn't he Darth Palpatine? Because he missed the fine print. Dark side eyes and all. And it's only because of a lisp that Darth Plaegus didn't call him Darth Serious. Edited April 16, 2012 by Bluerodian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienEyeTX Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Gadzooks! I just noticed that we've all missed something. I found his birth records and discovered that his given name is Pal Patine. But, due to a clerical error in elementary school, it was mistakenly taken as Palpatine. No one ever bothered to change it since he like people calling him by both names all the time rather than having to be called "Pal" by people he didn't even know.

Staavis_SC Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 No, he doesn't have a first name...yet. He has yet to finish Chapter 1 and unlock Legacy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) In some of the earliest drafts of SW, he was called Cos Da**** (Sounds like: Cause of the ... problem). A classy placeholder name, that. According to wookieepedia, He was renamed Son Hhat for the first serious draft. So, some of the fanon has his first name as Cos. Which sounds like a variety of lettuce. I prefer Sunhat Palpatine myself. Keeps that idea of covering the galaxy in shade, and all that. Also allows for dialogue along the lines of "Listen, Sunny, I wouldn't be your apprentice if you were the last Sith in the universe." ETA: Some call him Frank, as in "I must be Frank, Your Majesty ... " But since this line only exists in the prequels, it may not be definitive for your version of Star Wars.

celebrei Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) The Phantom Menace Visual Dictionary gave his first name as "Ethril." His father's full name was Cosinga Palpatine Edited April 17, 2012 by celebrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyurii Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The Phantom Menace Visual Dictionary gave his first name as "Ethril." His father's full name was Cosinga Palpatine Smells like poo...

celebrei Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Smells like poo... Lucas vetoed the Ethril name before the Visual Dictionary went to print. It's the closest thing to an official name for dear ol' Palpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vian Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's the closest thing to an official name for dear ol' Palpy. Also the furthest away, if GWL vetoed it. Names he hasn't specifically vetoed, like Flossie and Buttercup, are actually more likely, inasmuch as he hasn't ruled them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
