they feared eachother

💀

It took me a second😂

run

😄😄😄

And Chuckey can be the Sith lord.

Or any true warrior in general.

This!

You literally just confirmed and defined a tactical retreat, sir lol

"Yet so powerful you are why leave?" - Yoda

@@TrapTech tactical retreat…also known as running away…lol.

Sidious isnt stupid! He knew deep down yoda could end him, sidious was even more fearful of yoda turning to the dark side (Hell everyone was scared of that outcome) a dark side yoda would one shot sidious in less than a second... nothing but dust FACTS

Exactly.

Yes...he already had the universe in his clutches with total control of the Senate, the one army, the droid army, and Vader. He didnt want to risk dying at the hands of Yoda.

Perfectly articulated. Yoda is also the only force sensitive alive who has any measurable chance at possibly besting sidious in combat.

@@Jedilord882 unless Anakin turned back to good and becomes the wall he turns into whenever someone he cares about is in danger.

@@Jedilord882 Noone can beat Sidious but the chosen one, its a prophecy. No matter how close you'll come to finish old Sheev off, something will happen to change that outcome, unless its the chosen one trying to finish him off.

It’s pretty funny

i love how in that moment there's no VFX it's just some guy tumbling backward

Yeah, he was doing to much. He shouldn't have separated from Vader.

“In my book, there is no such thing as luck.” Yoda’s loss wasn’t bad luck. It was the will of the Force.

I think Mace Windu would have killed him without Anakin interference. Imagine is Yoda and Windu went to stop him. I don’t think there is anyway he could of taken both of them.

@@sonictemple2925 you THINK that mace would have killed him if it wasn’t for Anakin? Mace was literally killing Palpatine with his own lightning. He was definitely going to kill him.

@@christianrapper he literally just said what you said 🤦🏾‍♂️

It was fear. He gave Yoda his best shots and Yoda kept coming after him.

That would be the case but he figured vader was in danger after the fight but regardless everyone was arrogant in that movie ever Palpatine he still went to check up on vader but he really thought no one could even defeat him at that point except Yoda cause all the jedi were gone

Plus I believe the only reason he went to Mustafar was because he knew Yoda had escaped and he probably wanted to make sure Yoda wasn't going to join this mystery threat aka obi Wan and kill vader

Sounds like fear to me

Sidious was actually defeated by mace windu if anakin would have never come to his rescue so master yoda if the opportunity presented itself would’ve downed Sidios

You are 100% correct. Sidious stayed in hiding for so long yet remained perfectly aware of his own incredible abilities, which ultimately made him crave the opportunity to prove himself against the likes of Windu and Yoda. He's that arrogant and that emotionally insecure, like most great villains.

That's the series I'd bet all my medichlorians on that would succeed if done right and not rushed.

Agreed, and this level of thrill seeking risk is prevalent throughout canon He liked hanging out with Yoda as chancellor because not only did he learn so much but mainly because he got a kick out of being able to fool the greatest Jedi of that era Also one of the reasons he wanted Anakin as an apprentice was because it bought him a perverse amount of joy to know he turned the “chosen one” to the dark side… exposing himself to a troubled Anakin was a massive risk

Him and windu* windu did beat him just got barbecued after bc of anakin

Especially if you don’t count the dude that just beat him, mace

@@lafabl6503 Sidious didn’t know how truly powerful Windu was and what made him so special (Vapaad + Shatterpoint Ability). These two powers were highly restricted and very few knew the extent of them (save for Yoda and fellow council members). So Sidious engaged 4 Jedi Council Masters including Mace Windu confidently, killing 3 and pushing Mace Windu back. It’s only midway through the fight where Sidious realizes Windu is somehow getting stronger (thanks to Vapaad) that he starts to understand why Windu is truly Yoda’s second-in-command.

@@christianrapper the laugh and the unlimited power line implies that while he was caught off guard and lost his saber, Palpatine was 100 percent playing possum never truly beaten.

@@TK-ev no,it doesn’t. I don’t understand why people are using head canon to make Palpatine more powerful than he really was. He was powerful but people like Yoda and Mace could match him. Mace was killing him outright and Yoda tied him.

whyd he get out forced then ?

@@DivineMind9 He never "ran out of" Force. Where did you get that crazy idea..??? Yoda managed to disarm Sidious, and stood equally when using Force powers, but knew Sidious was just biding time for reinforcements to show up to help kill him. So, he left because he knew he needed to live to train the next generation of Jedi to help overthrow the Empire.

@@DivineMind9 because force ability =/= light saber skill. Also remember Sidious was at his peak. Yoda was on his decline.

No, Yoda used Ataru because he was so small. The blinding speed and acrobatics helped transcend the limits of his small size.

@@SirJacob220 I would agree that is definitely a major factor.

he has it stiched onto his head XD

He used the force. Not even lying

He IS The Senate.

Exactly.

*lose 🙂

Superior how? Yoda disarmed him & blocked his lightning like it was nothing.

@@roc50140 Yeah I don't understand OP or people like him who willfully ignore the very obvious visual evidence on something like this. Yoda, if not stronger, was superior in almost every aspect of this duel. There is nothing to show Sidious is superior. The only reason Yoda didn't finish the job is that he lost his lightsaber and he couldn't use killing Force powers as a Jedi. Must just be refusal based on preferring Palpatine over Yoda I guess.

@@scottb3034 sidious is still the one who won the duel, and the novel heavily implies he just was more powerful and Yoda couldn’t take him down

If the last remaining member of your main opposition, and the strongest one at that, confronts you directly, then I'd call fighting a necessity. He ran like a bitch before the fight and during the fight, and obviously underestimated Yoda in the first place if he really thought two clones could kill him while someone like Dooku couldn't.

@@mercury2157 no, fighting is a last resort, which is true for yoda, not for sidious... Ask any expert what is the best to defend against a knife, or a pistol... YOU DON'T, you always run plain and simple

@@mercury2157 as Master Vader said, almost every martial art and defense technique teaches you to avoid fighting. There is always a chance to lose. And while a case could be made for Yoda needing to be destroyed, Yoda didn’t have the resources anymore to be a threat. The Jedi relied on a massive support infrastructure to function. They had to scour the universe searching for force children as babies. The number was like 1 in 15000 babies was force sensitive, and then the parents had to be willing to part with the kid, and then after that, the kid had to be able to be trained. Yoda would of needed to either beg or constantly take side jobs for money to support him to fly around hospitals searching for babies. The order wasn’t a threat and Yoda could of spent decades looking at 100 babies a day and not of found one that could meet all the traits and complete the training.

@@Dragondan1987 you guys are both missing the point. Jedi and Sith don't follow our own rules of self defense because they quite literally don't abide by the same laws of physics, armament, and reality that we do, and considering that not only were the clones not thorough enough to take yoda out, but yoda was RIGHT IN FRONT OF SIDIOUS, fighting him is kind of a necessity because sidious was the only one who actually had a shot at taking yoda out and permanently snuffing out the order for good, which was literally the point of all of sidious' machinations in the first place. yoda might not have had "the resources to be a threat," but assuming sidious doesn't have all that crazy reincarnation/sith cloning stuff sorted out by that time, what good would all the work creating the empire be if yoda just cut sidious down without a fight? sidious DID have something to gain from fighting yoda and that was, you know, his life. obviously it worked out for the time being because yoda was eventually forced to flee.

"If so powerful you are, why leave?" That's Yoda's way of saying: you talk a lot of trash but you're really a b%#ch.

It could be both as well.

Yoda was the only Jedi alive at this time who could possibly best Sidious. He’s no fool lmao

@@Jedilord882 well he didn't beat him tho. Mace Windu did tho and he was the only hope but thanks to Anakin that didn't happen. Still won the duel tho

@@whoami4352 yoda disarmed him in the lightsaber duel lol

@@Jedilord882 a Sith is never disarmed. Palpatine even taunted younger Vader for being so reliant on his saber over mastery of the force

@@damaskholdings9140 I mean both of y'all are wrong so there is that.

@@Leviathan_Art Well please wise one enlighten us with your superior knowledge.

@@bernardoayres1139 Great explanation. I completely agree.

@@bernardoayres1139 He loss his cool and showed outrage many times, like when Luke refused to join the darkside. EVERYTHING except that went according to Sidious plan.

@@bernardoayres1139 disagree. The reason he laughed was because he knew that he had won LONG before Yoda walked into his office. Yoda was trying to salvage his failure by killing Sidious, and he couldn't succeed.

@@bernardoayres1139 in exile Yoda realized that he failed way before order 66. Hence the open gloating.

@@bernardoayres1139 everything frrom the start of order 66 onward isn't want luck. As Obi ways there is no such thing. He needed Anakin to turn willingly and not walk into a room with no living jedi. Regardless of losing the saber fight to Mace, Palpatine had far more tools to either defeat Mace or escape if Anakin either didn't show up or stood by.

Well Sidious was the only one taking things seriously. There isn't even a reason for him to fight Yoda, since he could just call a hundred clone troopers in to shoot Yoda in the face. It isn't really cowardness but just being prudent. He didn't try to run a second time.

exactly this. people always seem to ignore that rather than retort something appropriate back Sidious merely mentions Vader. It's as if Sidious is acknowledging Yoda was stronger or better by that admission.

@@Lilitha11 First of all, it absolutely IS cowardice. Second, we saw what Yoda does to squads of troopers, he had no issue dispatching them at the Jedi Temple, he'd have no issue here except that the coward Sidious would throw his weight into the fight in a heavily stacked deck against Yoda....because Sidious is a coward like that.

I'm not totaly sure about that, if we keep everything of RoS but change the outcomes of the duel to "Yoda slain Palpatine" there still a chance that at least something can be done to mitigate (a bit) the futur outcomes. And yoda absolutly wanted to at least break the dark side by pulling out the roots, and finally the said roots is in range of his lightsaber, he was going all out on this, even if the jedi was lost, at least the sith would have been slain too.

@@itachiaurion3198 It’s kinda late to mitigate things. His people have the security footage of Jedi Master Mace Windu’s attempt to kill the Chancellor of the Republic, and soon of the Grand Master of the Order too. A couple of the points of going to the Senate chambers was to; 1 - Give Palpatine some room, lots of obstacles is a plus. 2 - Put Yoda, at a disadvantage. Way to much jumping there for someone of his age and size. 3 - General security and public broadcast camera’s. It was over. The Jedi would go down as traitors. All that Palpatine needed to stall and keep Yoda back until either security or the troopers showed up.

@@eds1942 The one big big issue with that is, the republic isn't brain dead. Sith was not something they didn't new, they methodicaly erradicated the "true" sith in -6XXX BY on one of the very few genocide commited by the republic because the sith species, then the sith lord was so dangerous. I always find this new interpretation that comes in the recent years that "somehow palpatine can even let pass the fact that he his a sith lord" very suspicious at best. Yeah, maybe it could pass, but no one in their right mind in the star wars universe will choose a sith over a jedi, especially the republic. After the dust has settle without any sith lord to take the rein (in case of sidious death wich could have happen), the senate will probably find evidence oh trahison from palpatine and some pro jedi one can still make the difference, bail organa to name the most well know. But it's far to long to debate about that on a text and on a media like youtube. I would also argue that jumping is more Yoda forte than sidious, they are both old but Yoda as exceptionnal physical condition, watch any of his ligthsaber wrestling against dooku or sidious, they can't overpower his "tiny" arms. He always jump to match his ennemy and probably have an easier time launching himself in the air with less mass. It was his downfall as the blast in their last clash make him fall in one of the only case where his stature was important. Thanks for the anwser, but I still don't agree, maybe next time ;)

@@itachiaurion3198 5,000 bby. Palpatine had control over the Senate. And what Sith? Yoda was on the decline at this point. Just say… It ok too debate. And I don’t mind a difference of opinion. The back and forth forces me to make my claim in the open and examine whether the conception in my head has some merit or not, or if I’m just a fool and should consider the changing my view or to soften my stance. Sometimes I’m just wrong. Too often, I miss the point and just ramble. Other times I know I’m right, or at least have a piece of the puzzle that others are missing. If any of that gibberish made sense.

@@itachiaurion3198 you proved OP's point. Palpatine had already won and after realizing that there was a possibility that he or Vader MIGHT die, decided to leave. The only way Yoda wins is by killing him. Palpatine just has to repel Yoda to win

That's what Kayne west said

He's too dangerous to be left alive.

Exactly, they have a different type of charm to them.

I agree plus I think Sid knew Yoda was a better duelist *he got disarmed* so retreated to force attacks.

@@roc50140 Sidious felt lightsabers were beneath him. He used a lightsaber only to mock the Jedi

@@DarthNafarious true but wasn’t on yodas level

@@roc50140 and yet he turned the chosen one to the dark side, overthrew the republic and formed the Empire practically solo, and even resurrected from death. Meanwhile Yoda was cast down by Sidious, lost his lightsaber and died of old age in exile while the Sidious consolidated the entire galaxy under his rule.

@@DarthNafarious And yet Yoda still got the last laugh by not only beating Sidious anyone via Luke who he trained (also getting Anakin back in the process) but discovering true immortality which Sidious could only dream about. You can try to spin it any way you wish but Sidious still comes out on the bottom, having lost. Also no, he didn't use lightsabers merely to mock the Jedi, he used them because he wasn't an idiot who thought he could take Jedi on without one. Once he deemed them no longer a threat to his safety did retire his. Also your little joke about the death star would still ultimately fail since Yoda would just become more powerful than Palpatine could possibly imagine. He'd have done Yoda a favor had he tried that.

No

Yoda proved too power and skilled. The only way that the fight was going to end was with one of their deaths. Palpatine didn’t want that. All that he needed to do was to get somewhere with more maneuvering room and wait for the Clone Troopers to arrive and it would be done. The Sith had one. The Jedi had lost. Yoda just didn’t understand that until the troopers arrived. Which was why Sidious was laughing like a lunatic the whole time.

@@eds1942 Exactly. Sidious had been waiting a long time for that moment, as he stated.

Now imagine this: Yoda was weaker than normal because all his comrades had been killed and one was turned...imagine fighting at peak performance before Order 66.

Agreed

In no way did yoda win. He lost well before he went to the office. The galaxy hated and hunted the jedi. His *only* salvagable win condition was to kill Sidious then and there. Instead he had to retreat for 20 years.

At best it was a draw. But a draw was good enough for Yoda. He would have been better joining Obi-Wan in killing Vader
