Forum:KB:Was sidious known to the general populace?

Just wondering as I can't make it out from the Palpetine page, was it common knowledge to the galaxy that Emporer Palpetine was a Sith Lord or was this restricted information?

On an unrelated note, I've just read that George Lucas said there couldn't be any more jedi Wookiees after Lowbacca. Does anyone know his reasoning for this?

Thanks all.

Hope I'm asking the right questions in the right forum. I know the guidlines for the forums on here are quite tight so hope I've picked the right place
