the little green mean machine... yoda pwonz them all... and he's green!

*Ahem* I think Yoda got owned, even though all he had to do to win that fight was hold on and not fall like a little rag doll to almost certain death. :D

sry trooper but u are very mistaken here in a many many things, yoda is the bestest ever, and they just had to make him lose so the story would make sense lol, and i think that yoda pushed the emperors lightning back at him , at full power i might add, and yoda also would have won this fight if it was just force and saber fight instead of what i call a throw fest, (the emperor throwing those dam senate levatating chair things at yoda, that was just cheap shit with no skill needed, im sure that if yoda had a couple xwings he could have been throwing them at the emperor and see how he likes that lol but yoda did not really lose to the emperor he lost to the story after the dark times where emperor palpatine was needed!;)

Now now, if I was wrong about anything it would be "A great many things" but that is sadly not the case. Yoda did not get owned by the story, it IS the story that he gets owned! He couldn't finish Dooku and couldn't tell that a Sith Lord was appointing council members. Oooooh sting, that's a paddling right there! :P


' Hard to see the dark side is' as yoda would say' . Now call me a freak and a weird nerd but think of this duel and how it would be displayed on a jedi knight game... They were both fighting on one platform at once and everything seemed pretty much equal, yoda flipped around defending, attacking and blocking, emperor was focused downward and doing the same, so it all looked pretty much even.

The next scene of the fight in the movie has Palpatine as obiwan would say ' on high ground '.
Dont know how he got there... So Palpatine is throwing a load of platforms at yoda, and yoda is DODGING THEM, theyre not laserblasts or anything that yoda can deflect with a lightsaber, hes dodging platforms* by jumping onto other ones..,while the Palpy thing was standing around throwing platforms.Then at one point yoda he halts one of them, spins it around and throws it back at which point palpatine
drops to another platform (if i remember correctly anyway) , so Yoda finally makes it up to the platform to slay the Emperor, emperor uses force lightning. Yoda protects himself against the lightning, and starts to asborb it, finally 'reaching out to the force fully' He pushes it back to Grandpa Palpy.
Yoda falls off the platform and hangs on to one, Palpy does the same (i thought it was funny he looked helpless). Moment later, Cameras focused on the 3 claws yoda has and his facial expression.
Less of a grip ? Yoda lost because of the fact that hes a different species? was george lucas not trying to show that? obviously a close fight.
Keep in mind the emperor was intimidated when he first talked to yoda on episode 3 also. :p

Master Yoda ftw.



Yoda doesent absorb it :) Absorbtion of force energy, if i remember rightly, is a EXTREMELY rare ability, he blocks it, thus why it doesent dissapear when it hits him , it accumulates up instead of dissapearing.


Yes, in Episode III, Yoda blocks the Force Lightning, and than casts it back at Palpatine.

Yoda however, DOES know Absorb, since he demonstrates that in Episode II against Count Dooku's Lightning. The first time he deflects the Lightning back at Dooku, the second time he absorbs it.


Bingo :), i need to research it a bit more, i think yoda isnt too good at it, or he would use it more often against Tyranus and Palpatine, but you never know ;p


isnt too good at it?
find someone better then. gg. :D
besides even for lightsiders its pretty obvious that you cant really defeat opponent if you go for defense only.

Source Quin? I always presumed it was Absorb, but only because it seemed similar :P

Anyway Yoda decided he couldn't beat Sidious, he was beaten, sure he wasn't knocked out or anything, but he would never of won that fight, especially as Sidious chose the battleground, and had support on the way. If Yoda had still been able to beat him don't you think he would of got Obi and the other surviving Republicans and attempted to take Palpy out another time? Yoda felt there was a problem with the Jedi Order itself, and Luke Skywalker was trained and raised to not only be a tool of the Emperor (and Vader's) downfall, but to bring about the New Jedi Order. It says as much in Matthew Stover's novelisation of the film, and he tends to write Star Wars very well.

I liked the passion seen in the Anakin - Obi Wan fight. I first heard about how Anakin was left to die in a lava pit by Obi Wan, years ago after i saw the remastered original trilogy (Not spec Ed) and have always wanted to see it. I was not disapointed, it was well worth the wait. Probably my favourite part of the prequal trilogy, wish i could chop out all the little interuptions and watch it whole :P

Saying that the Palpatine/Windu fight was good - however it was not quite as visceral as it was written in the novelisation and i was left slightly disapointed.


tbh obiwan and anakin fight was too long and boring - some saber smashing contest. i mean why anakin must use all those quick identical moves when he can swing a bit slower liek in anakin vs dooku fight? well yeah maybe it wouldnt be too good for him, but atleast it could have been more interesting.


I guess i liked how it was portayed in the book more.. but only because i love reading. Still i always saw the reason their styles were sloppy was because they just went for it, no holding back, no thinking, just sheer passion and unthinking conflict, a fight between two brothers or however they viewed each other is always going to be different to a strait fight between an established jedi or two and an established sith. Oh and i found the Dooku fight most disapointing in the film, it was much more impressivly described in the book :P

Lastly why does a fight have to be quick and slow? There are many ways a battle can be fought afterall. To use an example in JA blue stancers do not generally fight at the same pace as red stances due to the nature of the style. Personally i prefer long drawn out saber battles, although admitadly i like a lot of variaty rather than all fast or all slow. I think you just prefer the quick slow duels which is fine, but still an opinion.

I liked the passion seen in the Anakin - Obi Wan fight. I first heard about how Anakin was left to die in a lava pit by Obi Wan, years ago after i saw the remastered original trilogy (Not spec Ed) and have always wanted to see it. I was not disapointed, it was well worth the wait. Probably my favourite part of the prequal trilogy, wish i could chop out all the little interuptions and watch it whole :P

Saying that the Palpatine/Windu fight was good - however it was not quite as visceral as it was written in the novelisation and i was left slightly disapointed.

Dooku vs Obi-Wan, Anakin
I liked the strong style exhibited here

Obi-Wan vs Grievous
Grievous was too unbelievable

Mace Windu vs Emperor Palpatine
Except for the beginning when Palp walks over the "Masters" it was good. Very elegant and skillfull.

Anakin vs Obi-Wan
Too long

Yoda vs Emperor Palpatine
Yoda's saber play is just not fundamentally fun to watch, entertainment value is great though.

i had to pick Yoda vs Palpatine, because it is Yoda action, but I had a hard time not picking Emperor Palpatine vs Mace Windu they were both just great fights, even though both could have been longer dont u all think so?:)
