Summary Star Wars has revealed one of the reasons as to how Palpatine managed to keep his Sith Lord identity hidden from the Jedi Order for so long. As outlined in the first chronological Star Wars movie, Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Palpatine embedded himself within the Galactic Senate. Posing as a senator from Naboo, Palpatine wormed his way into the inner machinations of the galaxy underneath the Jedi Order's nose before enacting Star Wars' Order 66 and forming the Galactic Empire.
The Jedi Believed Palpatine Had Absolutely No Privacy At All Palpatine's Political Career Saw His Every Move Be Publicized In a recent Star Wars book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, author Chris Kempshall outlines the history of the titular organization. Dr. Kempshall does this through the eyes of The Rise of Skywalker's Beaumont Kin, exploring the dark times of the galaxy and, thus, Palpatine.
This passage brings to the fore why the Jedi did not immediately suspect Palpatine. Someone who is so willing to place himself into the spotlight is unlikely to be dubbed a Sith Lord in hiding by the Order. When every move Palpatine made was broadcast across the galaxy to some degree, it would have been almost impossible for him to have orchestrated a war that saw him rise as the dominant power in the galaxy. As evidenced, Palpatine proved the Jedi wrong.
