I can't see Sidney as the great sorcerer. First of all, while it is true that Sidney, Disney, and Yen Sid are all anagrams of each other, I think the only deliberate use was with Yen Sid to Disney. Sidney just happens coincidentally. Also, he had power as a genie, but I have seen nothing to indicate that he has any power after Leopold released him.

I'm not saying that some of the mirror episodes aren't related to Sidney, because they may very well be related. I'm just saying that I think those are 2 different story arcs, and the sorcerer (whoever he turns out to be) will not be Sidney.

Now, if they go to a different interpretation (from Disney) of the Sorcerer's Apprentice (the 2010 version starring Nicholas Cage), this could lead into a great tie in to the whole Camelot arc, as the original Sorcerer was Merlin, and the antagonist from that movie was Morgana le Fay. Both of which are central to the Arthurian/Camelot lore.
