I think Syfo Dias is just an alias for Palpatine, Because if you remember Palpatine/ Sidious wants the clone war (when Dooku tells him ones started he sounds quite pleased) so ordering a clone army is a good start!

Hi! My name is Eric! I think Sifo-Dyas was Qui-Gon's Master. Either that or
he was his brother or something...
-Eric
I think that Sifo-Dyas is Qui-Gon's another name that he is known by. Just like Obi-Wan in the old trilogy they called him Ben.
-sjmj879
I know who sifo dyas is for sure, i know more bout star wars than anyone in the county! Sifo Dyas was a jedi who died after the battle of Naboo , and Palpatine just used his name to get the clones.

Hi, im not totaly positive, but i'm prety sure that Sifo-Days is the jedi in the dark horse comic "Zam Wessle", that dies while saving the planet Coresont with Zam and Jango. So palpatine new he died, and used his identity to start the clone war, and so on and so on.
-rick_freeman
According to The New Essential Guide to Characters, Master Sifo-Dyas was simply an alias used by Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus.
-SmAsHiNgMoBy1016
Sifo Dyas is Dooku or maybe Darth Sidious.
-Davidmcpat7
Sifo-Dyas is none other than Superme Chancellor Palpatine (also known as Darth Sidious) It is a name used from a Jedi who died, to secretly purchase a clone army, using Dooku's $$$.
End of story!....jeez you other guys are way off track!
-evansteinman
My theory is that Syfo Dias is Darth Maul. He did not Die when the Jedi think he did, he just turned to the Dark Side and Tatooed his face, and got offed later by Obi Wan.
-Steeper76
Master Sifo-Dyas prenounced SI FOW DE US (sounds a little to close to Sidious SI DE US for my liking) is none other than the dark lord himself Darth Sidious (Supreme Chancellor Palpatine), has to be.
-neotab
Master Sifo-Dyas isn't darth sidious nor darth tyrannus (dooku) Because remember in episode 2 when Dooku catched Obi-Wan and told him: Qui-Gon alreaddy knew about the separatists but he wouldn't agree the truth... So to protect the republic... Master Jinn ask to creat the clone army under the name of Sifo-Dyas. Remember also, Qui-Gon found Anakin, so logicly he has to be the author of the clone army,
that will support the empire of Darth Vador. But all these things have been created with good intentions from Qui-Gon... Remember, Qui-Gon is the only one who hasn't disappear when he died... Qui-Gon has been a powerful Jedi but he was ignoring that he was dark... Qui-Gon is "dark" because of his master Dooku, and because is the one who made Anakin a Jedi... So Qui-Gon must be the one that asked the army to complete this. what do you think?
-Master Zenith Mage (Jedi)
I think that Qui Gon Jinn has something to do with it because while Anakin was killing the tusken raiders in EP2, Yoda heard Qui Gon yell No!! but once you become one with the force you lose your identity completely, but Qui Gon hadn't. Yoda is troubled by this. Qui Gon might be Sifo-Dyas.
-KSLDDS
Definitely Count Dooku (AKA Lord Tyrannus). He is the person that hired Fett for the cloning process, despite the fact Yoda and Master Windu new him.
-Johnsfr2
I think that Sifo-Dyas did not actually die, but faked his death and became Senator Palpatine, and eventually the Emporer. It's a far stretch, but remember the Jedi council can't detect the Emporer as a member of the dark side, so its possible that he initially was Sifo-Dyas. If you take the 'fo' out of Sifo-Dyas, you get Si-Dyas (Sidious). Who else could Sifo-Dyas be? It must be the emporer.
-Jedi Master D.
sifo dyas is definately the blue elephant in ep6
-kgbonar
Has anybody yet thought that maybe we are not meant to discover who Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas is yet, and that we will discover his true identity in E3?
One thing is for sure, Sifo-Dyas is NOT Count Dooku. In E3, Dooku knew nothing about a clone army. And I may be wrong, but I see no logic in Sifo-Dyas being Qui-Gon-Jinn.
-Sith Lord Koth
Being only a moderate, but dedicated, Star Wars fan, I have no idea who the true identity of the Master Sifo-Dyas is, but I have my theories. My theory, as I stated, is that Master Sifo-Dyas was once a Jedi, and was killed after, or before, the Battle of Naboo, it doesn't say in the movie. Perhaps Sifo-Dyas is just a random name of the council that Palpatine used to order the clone army, so that no Jedi would truly know, remember, the Dark Side clouds everything. And last, I believe that Sifo-Dyas had somehow seen what would happen, that the Empire would take over, and could only think of that one action he could take, to create the clone army.
-Jedi Master Ćrinith Teluviel
There are a couple good ideas i read of who sifo-dyas
is. I think he was either someone ordered by Darth
sidious or Dooku to order the creation of the clones
or Sifo-dyas is darth Sidious himself. It can't be
true that Count dooku did not know about the Clone
Army because according to the Starwars Databank on the
Star Wars website it says Darth Tyranus (Count cooku)
met with Jango Fet to make Jango the model for the
Clones. Im saying that to Sith Lord Koth who posted
that dooku didnt know about the Clone army. I Think
Sifo-Dyas was definitaly buddies with Count Dooku and
Darth sidious or was either one of them but we
probably all find out in the E3 who the heck this guy
is.
-Nasty Nate
Master Syfo Dyas was a jedi knight who was killed at the end of the Battle of Naboo.
Obi-Wan says that he was "under the impression that master syfo dias was killed 10 years ago and before the ordering of the clones" this is not qui-gon jinn he is talking about and palpatine had count dooku us the name for himself when he went to order the clones. also jaster mareel was the original mandalorion trooper.
-animalcub
Either Qui-Gon Jinn or Darth Maul.
-Nala
(old theory is he was Qui-Gon)
I have a new theory about sifo-dyos. i think it might be dooku.
-The cians
(#1) I know that Sifo-Dias is not Palpatine, since this "Sifo-Dias" was on the jedi council. Because he would oveusly would have the same idently. And when those cloners said " Sifo Deas is a member of the jedi council is he not", and Obi-wan was familiar with the name Sifo Deas as him being a jedi. So we know that he was a member of the jedi council.(#2) And for Qui-gon, why would HE order a clone army if he was so shure that Anican Skywalker would bring balance to the Force? If Sifo Deas was a commited, true, loyal jedi, than why would he order this army so secretly? So these things make the matter difficult. The only possible explanation of this "Sifo Deas" is that he works for Darth Sidious and that Sidious gave him that name and that he was some how killed.(#3) The reason I say that is becaise SI DE- AS
sounds and looks like S I D O U S. I know this 100 o/o for a fact.
-Cdtwtms1
I believe Sifo Dias to be Count Dooku. There are many arguements against it, mainly the one where he is "shocked" when he finds out that the Jedi have amassed a huge army. This is a ploy to further his allegiance to the separatists. He really is Sifo Dias, because it was him that recruited Jango Fett to clone himself on Kamino. We know this because in the conversation between Obi-Wan and Jango, Obi-Wan asks him if Sifo-Dias hired him, he said no, that somebody named Tyrannus from one of the moons on Bogdan hired him. We know that Dooku is really Tyrannus, so Dooku hired Jango to clone himself, and we can assume that Dooku pretended to be Sifo-Dias to the Kaminoians.
-Ben
Syfo-Deas is Palpatine. Palpatine had a mask on or something to diguise himeself and added the "fo" in his name to diguise it. During the time of the battle of Naboo, Palpatine stoped pretending to be Syfo-Deas and a different person than Palpatine and Palpatine made everyone think he was killed.
Count Dooku erased the files and like I said above about Palpatine being Syfo-Dias. I know he did seem surprised about the clone army, but listen to what he said,"how could the jedi create a clone army SO QUICKLY". Dooku probably knew of the clone army, but did not know that it would be that huge in ten years at the time of the battle of Geonoses and he knew that his master's(Darth Sidious)origanal plan was to wipe out the jedi with the seperatists droid army and the Trade Federation and the Techno Union Army and have the clone army afterwards and erase the files so the jedi would not find out and interfere. But Dooku did not know that the jedi would find out about the army and use it as there own. That is what surprised Dooku.
Jango Fet told Obi-Wan that he was hired by a man named Tyranus(Count Dooku)to be cloned so there could be a clone army. So here we have Dooku being our jedi erasing the files right before he left The Jedi Order and the truth about Syfo-Dias.
THE END
-Cdtwtms1
He was a member of the Jedi counsel who wanted an army of droids for the republic. He was killed in the first move when trying to get back into the palace!
-mcm410
Count Dooku is the Jedi that was fustrated with the Jedi and the Republic so before he resined, he was the Jedi that erased the files, case closed (we already know this because in ep.2 Yoda says that only a Jedi could erase the files) .But does this mean that he is Syfo-Dias? Probably not. Sifo-Dyas might just be a normal Jedi Council member who was somehow killed (maybe by Sidious) shortly after Palpatine(Sidious) orderd the clone army under his name. Or number two, maybe he was a traitor and he was the Jedi that erased the files before his sopposed death.
-Cdtwtms1
Hey, I was reading your post about master sifo-dyas and I thought I would give you my opinion. We all know that he was killed around 10 years before episode II, and we all know Darth Sidious ordered the clones in the name of Sifo-Dyas. I think the main question here is why did he use Sifo-Dyas' name? Sidious could have picked any name in the galaxy but for some odd reason he chose Sifo-Dyas. Lucas is obviously keeping this one a big secret for episode III. Some of the theories I read are interesting, but I don't think any of them are accurate at all. But why would Count Dooku erase the files to kamino if his master ordered them? And why would Darth Sidious order a clone army for the "REPUBLIC" in the first place? There are alot of questions that I still need answered. Please e-mail me if you have something, or if I have said something wrong.
Thanks,
-Skywalker Jedi
From an expert opinion of whom Syfo-Dyas was, he was not made up, and he was neither Palpatine/Sidious, or Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus, nor even Qui-Gon Jinn. He was a respected member of the Jedi Council, whether you believe it or not, but he was a Jedi, not a Sith, or a Jedi-turned Sith, nor a non-Council Jedi master. But, a few things bother me that must be resolved: 1) Was Sifo-Dyas a Kaminoan? 2) Was he killed as Obi-Wan insisted to the Prime Minister Lama Su? 3) Could he still be alive, and possibly even appear (as the Jedi traitor) in Episode III?
Plus, the only way that Sidious could have ever been Syfo-Dyas was if he either was not Palpatine after all (which we know is completely untrue), or if either Sidious or Palpatine was a clone of the original host of the reigning Sith Master. Since Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus is expected to be put to death by Anakin within the first 10 minutes of Star Wars: Episode III, the Jedi traitor we're expecting to appear in the film will come much later and will most likely be fought and defeated by Yoda at the time Anakin is aiming towards leaving the Jedi Order, so he can't be the traitor, unless he used the opportunity to clone himself and let Anakin think he had defeated him in order for Yoda to finish him off in a rematch, giving Anakin ample opportunity to be seduced to the Dark Side of the Force, thus becoming Darth Vader. Finally, Qui-Gon Jinn would never order an army of clones because of a few things: (1) He would have always been patient to ask the Council first, (2) he would have been far too kind and gentle a Jedi to do such a ridiculous breach of orders and, (3) he would most importantly of all stick to his prediction of the Jedi Prophecy of Anakin bringing balance to the Force and destroying the Sith once and for all. That is why I think Syfo-Dyas was a Jedi, man or alien, who was like Dooku, was either seduced to the Dark Side of the Force (which I think he more likely was) to become one of Sidious/Palpatine's earliest Emperors Hands and Mages, then was killed off by either a fallen Jedi after Episode III, or Yoda during that final movie, or really was killed by Sidious/Palpatine in secret as someone like that of Jorus C'Baoth. End of story.,

This is my belief of who Syfo Dyas was:
Syfo Dyas WAS in fact a member of the Jedi Council. When the Kaminos refer to him, Obi-Wan recognizes the name and states that he died in battle nearly 10 years ago.
It is likely, in my opinion, Syfo Dyas worked for Palpatine as an "insider" to erase the map section containing the location of Kamino.
Palpatine, using "Syfo Dyas" as an alias, or Syfo Dyas himself placed the order for a clone army. Shortly after, Palpatine or one of his followers (possibly Count Dooku or Jango Fett) rubbed out Syfo Dyas, probably to cover all tracks.
-ZERO LOW B
I'll get straight to the point. Syfo Dias was in fact an ancient jedi from the sith wars when the sith supposedly went extinct. Syfo Dias was the jedi that brought Darth Bane to the light side. Syfo Dias was killed by Exar Kun himself about 1,000 years before Episode 2 took place. Palpatine/Sidious was scared that Syfo Dias would return through reincarnation by the will of the force. Therefore he used his name in hopes that Syfo Dias's name would be disgraced so his force energy would not reincarnate.
-corey99705
I think Syfo-Dias is Darth Sidious: S Y F O D I A S if you mix the letters it is something like Darth Sidious. And Sidious is Palpatine and Palpatine is very force-sensetive
-Imar
It's definetly not Dooku.. Dooku could have used another Jedi's name to do all of this, but he himself is not Sifo Dias. Here's how i know- Yoda knew dooku was alive. and when they find out sifo dias ordered the clones, he says that he was dead already. So that rules him out.
It's also no qui gon. OB1 said he thought sifo dias died 10 years ago, while he saw and witness qui gon die. Therefor we know it's not qui gon.. So that rules him out as well.
Some say it's darth maul, but that's unreasonable considering there's no evidence of maul ever being a jedi.
Also you can probably rule out Sifo Dias just being nobody other than himself.. Why would he order them? Whoever he is, he had no reason to..
I would think it was Sidious/Palpatine.. but sidious/palpatine were already in existence 10 years ago (before anyone had to fake their deaths)
So all in all, I think it'll be interesting to find out who.. I think it's Sidious, but you never know..
Oh yea, just thought I'd throw out there- Sifo Dias' originally was written SiDo Dias.. which sounds really close to sidious.. I tihnk once Lucas realized it was too obvious he may have changed it to sifo instead of sido.. But I'm not 100% sure on that one!
Now can somebody answer my question(s) ?
Is dooku and palpatine on the same team? It doesn't seem like it, but dooku does have the plans for the death star, but i dont get why dooku was screwin around with droids. OR are there kind of 3 sides? And- Jengo Fett.. Is he kind of a nuetral guy, because he was creating the clone army while at the same time helping with the droids... it's all kinda weird.. just wondering.
-BGTholt88
I Think It was Sidious who Ordered the Clone Army for the Republic because he knew that once he'd had fully controll
of the republic he could turn the Clone troopers to kill all the jedi's. And Sifo Dyas was a normal Jedi that died 10 years ago before the clone wars. Sidious just used the name to not be exposed!
westside 163
Syfo Dias, each word is four letters, drop the Sf & is, what does this spell, Yoda, so Yoda is the one that ordered the clone army of the Republic, they made is sound like sideous, because that is the obvious choice of who Syfo Dias would be, But if Syfo Dias is Yoda, why would yoda order the army, i suppose he could forsee the need for the army, but why do it in secret, because outside of himself, he doesn't know who to trust or the jedi are to reckless to trust. I don't really know about the hows and the why's, but it is just a different agle on who Syfo Dias is.
