@@DaMasta981 Yoda of all beings should know all emotions can't suppressed all the time, after 700 years he would know of many examples of failed and fallen jedi but in the prequels he is portrayed as a know it all who doesn't share his knowledge and experience. The only profound moment he had with anakin is his speech on fear-anger-hate-suffering. The key point im making is the council clearly knew about the challenges that anakin presents, but instead of planning or preparing contingencies and steps to make him a better jedi and in extension person, they stuck to their guns and lead a lezefair policy and not only allowed him to develop bad habits and troubling situations and don't even council him on matters. I mean if I was a leader of an order and have a potential child of prophecy at my doorstep I would atleast monitor him and when certain events, like marrying padme, I would atleast have a discussion and tread carefully about it. Anakin can have a secret wedding but they cannot keep their relationship secret from an order of energy sword wielding space wizards forever.

@@MCsCreations Actually, I was talking about when Yoda said to Obi Wan "there is another..". Obi Wan and Yoda knew that Leia was a Skywalker too, but they didn't train her because she kinda "had" a family, and some monks telling her that her true father was killed by Darth Vader would not motivate her to be trained to defeat Vader. That's why, according to my theory, when Yoda said "No. There is another..", he was referring to Anakin, because he knew that he was going to be turned to the light side eventually (remember, the movie is called "The Return of the Jedi"). But how did he know? Well, Yoda was living on Dagobah for a while, and he had already met and talked to Qui Gon there during TCW era. So Qui Gon must've told Yoda that Anakin is indeed the chosen one and that he will bring balance to the force no matter what.

It is kinda explained in episode III why yoda did what he did. Lets remenber Yoda fought in the clone wars, but all he did was serve the schemes of Siduoius. The sith plan totally outplayed the Jedi and they ended up being just pawns in the SIth grand plan. the Jedi and Yoda realized he need to actually think a way out, not by fighting but by finding where and when to fight. After comfronting Sidious, Yoda rialized if he cant outright defeat him right then and there, in the senate building, he would need a new strategy, and he had no clue whatsoever how he would pull it out. He went to exile to meditate and try to understand the will of the force and how, when and with who, the balance could be achived again. Why the force allowed the Jedi to be blind by the sith and how to fight without being just pawns again.

Midichlorian counts and “power levels” aside, Yoda wouldn’t have had the stamina to hold up long in a 1 v 1 fight against Sidious, especially after the Jedi Order had fallen. He was physically too old, and with the Balance tossed to Darkside, Palpatine had the will of the Force behind him.

@@OtterTreySSArmy No, Dooku was still the best duelist. Dooku was supposed to lose that fight. And even if he wasn't, it wouldn't change too much. Dooku's fighting style just doesn't clash well against Anakin's. Dooku uses form 2 Makashi, which relies on gaining momentum and using combinations to beat opponents. We can see this form be an advantage against Obi-Wan and his defensive style, who honestly is the 2nd best duelist at that point IMO, just above Anakin. But against Anakin, who uses form 5 Djem so, he has a hard time. Anakin's form relies on strength and just overpowering his opponent, which makes it hard for Dooku to gain momentum and use combinational attacks. Adding Anakin tapping into the darkside really doesn't help either. So that's why Anakin beat Dooku, but then again Dooku was supposed to lose that fight, so everything i said is sort of irrelevant. But if that wasn't enough to convince you it was their dueling style that matters, then why didn't Anakin destroy Obi Wan?

Yoda couldn't get Space-Uber to come out to Dagobah to pick him up to help.

[@roytromb_strength]

This point was not made but I find it important. Maybe Yoda with a clearer view of the future in Dagobah knows that the best outcome is to have Vader come back to the light side and help destroy Palpatine. He knows that he would never be the one to help him back, he would probably push him further into the dark side. That’s why when Luke goes to face him without finishing his training Yoda and force ghost Obi contemplate training Leia “there is another one.” Another child of Vader that could help him in his redemption.

Yoda; “A friend, I quote; Too old for this bs, I am.”

[@whythough6619]

Honestly im more curious about what happens to jedi who grow to old to perform their job

[@Gay_Priest]

They become librarians

[@wesleygetsinger1859]

Your a jedi until you die or exiled from the order, so can't get to old to do your job when literally being alive is your job

[@timonsolus]

I’m sure there was a part of the huge Jedi Temple that was basically a care home for elderly Jedi. Probably used for teaching younglings compassion.

[@noahsibahi-jackson8757]

Finally someone is capable of understanding the fact that Yoda and Sidious in fact drew in their fight, so many people actually think Palpatine had won that fight it is honestly just ridiculous how abysmal their critical thinking is

[@nick5661]

At the end of his quest for learning immortality in the clone wars he actually sees the future and there is another Skywalker so he kind of knew who would beat the emperor

[@Fatalitix3]

3:36 There is no such thing as luck

[@ryanfilmproductions6849]

Too busy taking ketamine, he was

[@mattsiede443]

I really enjoyed today's video. Thank you for all the videos you share! I always look forward to watching them.

[@EthanFrowen]

Love the content and the channel

[@willm7918]

Because he knew Ahsoka was still alive with Kannan and Ezra :) left it to the youngsters lol

[@wyzemann]

Yoda finally accepted that the true nature of the Force is not in elegant sword to sword combat, but patience & service to the higher goals of the Force itself...i.e. balance.

[@Autmun83718]

He lost the duel with sidious and say,”Screw it,Old am I”.

[@gumdeo]

"Kicked my ass, he did".

[@ochrejokre2029]

TLDR yoda is a tactical nuke I think another way of looking at it was Yoda was one of the few beings out there that had at least parity with Sidious. What that means is that neither could act with impunity. You could say that doesn't matter because Sidious had Vader to work through, but I think it is more accurate to say he HAD to work through Vader. Look at it this way, battles in the galaxy were won by who had the most firepower in the sector. For all the overall power the galactic navy had, they lost battles because the rebels had the intel and got the drop on them. If Sidious was free to leverage his considerable force powers chasing leads and consolidating power free of the specter of the galaxy's tiniest green asshole, he would have been able to accomplish so much more. But instead he had to do things quietly and /or through proxy, even as the emperor, because somewhere out there some tiny green asshole was waiting to stab him in the peepee the second he let his guard down. Yoda was threat just by his continued existence and secrecy that could check the emperor.

[@vCLOWNSHOESv]

Yoda was very old and in touch with his mortality. He knew his time had passed and that the best hope was training the next generation in Luke.

[@snipedude4953]

I've always felt that he was in self exile because he felt that he had failed as the Jedi grandmaster. 1:40 You forgot Kenobi also had the high ground.

[@selfelevation7]

the long game... .. no doubt. . good one here Tech. indeed that wasn't a coward move, that was a master move & the wisest thing for him to do at the time. It wasn't about him in particular, it was about what's still greater to come.. no doubt. .

Ketamine I must smoke, The high I shall get

[@englishlady9797]

Yup, Obi Wan lied (again) the Force is not an energy field, its just a drug inducted delusion....

[@gumdeo]

Dagobah green.

hahahha

"Too old for this shit ...am I.." - Yoda

[@dt702]

Just a question but what did the people think if they passed by when Mace Windu was fighting Darth Sidious.

[@ryanatorryanson9535]

The way I understand it, was the he went to Dagobah specifically because it was full of life but had no other higher level beings. He knew he couldn’t beat Sidious/Vader, and they would be hunting him down. He was nearing the end of his life and used the massive presence of the force there to help hide his presence and keep him alive long enough to train Luke, as he realized that the prophecy was really about Luke and not Anakin. That and the movies weren’t fully thought out and they just kind of went along with it.

[@BenKim16]

Probably cause he felt it was time to pass the torch. In a ‘what if’ type comic, Yoda with R2D2 basically enslaves Tarkin and take over the Death Star. Then he used said Death Star as if it was the moon in Majora’s Mask to crush Palpatine and the Jedi temple

[@christopherweber6847]

Alan, u make such good videos. U know so much about the lore, awesome man, keep it up.

[@obi-wankenobi11]

Just imagine Yoda fighting TIE fighters in his Honda Civic 2001

[@Nicholas.Rogala]

Not to mention it didn't look like he had communications or a spaceship on Degobah. It was highly likely he was unaware of what was going on and couldn't leave the planet anyway.

[@colin8696908]

That pretty much sums up the whole clone wars everybody knew it was a trap but no one bothered to do anything about it.

[@sportsmag6148]

200th like, not sure how relevant it is, but seems like it's more important than commenting "first".

[@kvas6255]

“What do u expect me to do walk with a laser sword and face down the whole first order?” -Luke

[@Gay_Priest]

You mean the Imperial Remnants

[@jacobdavis6056]

I think it’s that he knew the emperor didn’t really take the rebellion serious, and that if he did join it would draw the full attention of the emperor which would ultimately make it even more difficult.

[@Rancoroth419]

I always figured Yoda knew that the only hope would be Luke, and had to wait it out until he was ready to be trained...to confront Vader.

[@Technoanima]

Good points. The difference between strategic thinking and tactical thinking.

[@c62west]

I LOVE that explanation! Thank you.

[@OtherL]

Every time anyone makes a comparison between any of the movies that relate I keep hearing George say "Its like poetry it Rhymes." And I'm just like...well shit when you're right you're right

[@matthewanderson9754]

I like how you say Yoda plays a longer game than palpimcscrotumface! 😆 well done sir, well done lol

[@void9068]

Have you guys done a Starkiller video?

[@IslandCave]

We was waiting for Luke, his training from the Wills made him understand that that was the way, the will of the force.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Couldn't figure out how to make the puppet fight probably lol

[@HolyknightVader999]

A) Because Yoda is so powerful, that if he left Dagobah where he can hide in its Dark Side presence, every Inquisitor, Shadow Guard, and both Sith Lords can sense where he is and send a fleet of Star Destroyers to glass the planet or destroy the fleet he's on. B) Because he's getting old, by the time the Rebellion developed into a force that can challenge the Empire, he was already too old to fight and was at death's door. He wouldn't be much help in the battlefield outside of Battle Meditation, and even that would weaken him even further and make his death all the more imminent. C) Because he's shell-shocked from the Clone Wars and from 1000 generations of the Jedi sacrificing blood, sweat, and toil to defend democracy, only for the democracy they defended to turn on them. He's lost faith in democracy and fighting for it, because he saw how the very same Senate who benefited from the Jedi Order's protection turned on them in a dime. And now that same Senate has members controlling the Rebel Alliance. It's like if that skank who threw you out of the house, took your kids, and put a massive child support tab on your ass came back and begged for your help. You'd throw her out of your house and tell her to never come back. D) Because Yoda has seen how just fighting doesn't solve things. The Jedi Order during the Clone Wars used fighting to solve almost every problem, and it blew up on their faces. Hence why he's in hiding, meditating with the Force, trying to figure out where they went wrong.

[@burgerking8475]

He lifted a ship out of a swamp. I’m certain he could still use the Force in combat. Although he did lose his lightsaber

[@HolyknightVader999]

@@burgerking8475 He lifted it slowly and weakly, compared to how he was smashing together larger droid ships during Coruscant.
