Well. First, you're making the big assumption, that Senator Palpatine = Darth
Sidious = Emperor Palpatine. One or another of those may actually not be
true. Lucas has avoided direct questions about this. I know it's an easy
assumption to make, but remember that something may happen to change that.
That said, if Darth Sidious *is* Emperor Palpatine, he's already a full Jedi.
He trained Darth Maul, after all. And considering his resounding success in
Episode I- ie, getting Palpatine elected to Chancellor of the Galactic Senate-
he might well have precognative powers already.
