Palpatine didn’t obsess about finding yoda for the same reason the jedi order didn't obsess about finding the sith survivors after the great hyperspace war. Its pointless. There will always be a jedi and a sith somewhere. And even if you get rid of every single jedi or sith in the universe, there will be always a jedi who will turn to the dark side or a sith who will turn to the light and start it all over again. Both jedi or sith could only hope to be dominant, not to extinguish the other altogether.

[@mmarsh1972]

Ill offer another reason. Palpatine didn't want another confrontation with Yoda. Little to gain, a lot to lose. Yoda was the only Jedi alive who stood a real challenge to Palpatine and he feared his power. So as long as the Jedi Grandmaster remained in Exile and didn't directly oppose the new order it simply wasn't worth the risk to try and eliminate him. Vader and the Inquistors were not match for Yoda and therefore only person capable of beating Yoda would have been Palpatine himself. I think Palpatine didn't relish the idea of another duel as their first encounter resulted in a draw.

@@EmperorFist323 Did you watch the prequels? Vader that got sliced into pieces by Obi-Wan, and then fried in a volcano. This cut off a significant amount of his connection to the force. The Vader suit did not increase his abilities in the Force it diminished them. Anakin Skywalker may have been more powerful in the force, but he lacked the lightsaber skill and experience of the 900 Year old Jedi Grandmaster. Moreover Yoda oversaw Anakin's training he would have known exactly what is abilities and weaknesses were, such as arrogance and overconfidence in his abilities. Moreover Darth Vader he was not as powerful anymore either due to his injuries. Yoda would have bested him easily.

Always liked to imagine Palpatine almost saw it as legitimizing his rule, knowing that even the greatest survivors of the Jedi Order; Yoda and Kenobi, even with their impressive power and charisma, wouldn't rise to threaten his dominion, because they KNEW they couldn't win. Palpatine surely had issues over the decades of his rule, but knowing these few survived, and knowing they were too afraid to challenge him, strengthened his rule through fear doctrine, and told him he was right, because if they could win; if the Force favored them, surely they'd try, but since they wouldn't, they knew it was because they COULDN'T.

[@jintym2951]

I love the moment in the Revenge of the Sith novel when Yoda realises that "He just didn't have it. He'd never had it" and I always enjoyed the idea that Sidious probably sensed this realisation. So might he have had the immediate enjoyment of Yoda being humbled by his realisation as well as the long term humbling of Yoda & any other survivors. Thank you for another fun video 😊 xx

Jinty M the book is not even canon anymore and the author didn't mean that yoda lost the duel.

[@phantomsidious2934]

Yoda knew that the order of the Jedi was finished, all thier mistakes and complacency had resulted in the orders extinction. Yoda during the duel with Sidious knew he lost even before he started the confrontation, the orders mistakes could not be undone, the light had faded, sidious recognised too, he knew that no Jedi survivors have the force strong enough with them to cause his empire any serious threat, not even his ' little green friend'..

There's a strength in ignoring someone. The more attention you give them the more power they have. If the Empire had gone full force looking for yoda, it wouldve told their enemies that he was an enormous threat and a potential ally. While they probably wouldn't have been able to find him it would at least get some people interested enough to look into who he was leading to more people digging into the Jedi and force which may cause potential force sensitive beings to take an interest in the Jedi. In the end it could've caused more trouble down the line.

[@HCBailly]

Preface: Casual Star Wars fan with little knowledge beyond Disney canon. It always bugged me how Yoda & Obi-Wan just gave up and left to hide and do nothing. Why not help out the rebellion? At worst, maybe lay low for awhile, but then gather their resources and try again. Even if it were incontrovertible that they could not defeat Sidious (which I doubt), they could still seriously disrupt and subvert his empire. Granted, there were relatively few Jedi left after Order 66, but look at how much Vader & Luke made on the galaxy for each side alone. Surely, two of the most powerful and trained Jedi with a few others could have vastly helped the rebellion.

[@TY-km8hj]

True but remember the rebellion needs to defeat the Sith, something that they really wouldn't be able to do. Obi wans goal was to watch over Luke and eventually train him to defeat them both since he literally was their only hope (Leia too but she was with the organas) had they left to help the rebellion they would have done some good no doubt however what would it have truly accomplished? (Plus the rebellion didn't properly form until around 5 or less yrs before a new hope so the impact they would have had would be little due to there not being much time and would then make them abandon their duties) Eventually the sith would most likely confront them and kill them as they were too powerful at that point. Plus they knew of other jedi who were helping the rebellion such as ahsoka tano ezra bridger and kanan jarrus. Subverting the empire is a pointless endeavor, hence why they chose the long game and attempt to destroy the empire entirely through destroying the Sith

[@EmperorFist323]

Luke was there best bet. In just a few training sessions he was able to rest the greatest technological terror the galaxy ever seen. Over the years he would take out bases and naval fleets aswell. The secret weapon is Luke and his deep connection to the force, this alone is more powerful than anything else.

[@EmperorFist323]

@Sky Light what he did? He was fucking weak in the last movie. If mace windu and the other 3 Jedi masters confronted him now he would be destroyed. What made sidious stronger towards the end of the movie was draining kylo force power. Remember kylo a Skywalker so it was like palpatine took that Skywalker power

[@EmperorFist323]

@Sky Light you're nuts bro. You do realize TROS palpatine was weaker then ROTJ or ROTS. When he drained their life force he was able to rejuvenate himself to almost 100%. But he wasn't 100% full power, that force storm he did with lightning he has been able to do for a while that is nothing new. Him taking out kylo was a weak aspect of the movie, and him almost killing Rey is straight forward. I think all star wars fans agree Rey vs palpatine isn't even a match

Sidious couldn’t hope to beat Windu without Anakin’s betrayal.

[@Gor85]

This makes perfect sense. This was great joy for Sidious. He had his Empire,his apprentice,endless army,resources. Vader was more miltary oriented,still a General. Palpatine was a tactician.He knew what he wanted: to spread Empire influence to the Outer Rim and unlock secrets of the Dark Side with his apprentice And secrets of the galaxy. Plus he knew Jedi were broken and destroyed And he wanted to make them humble,to watch Empire thrive, and to watch and learn their mistakes and why they fell. This for punishment and lesson.

Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novelization captures Yoda's internalizations after his fight with Darth Sidious....he realized that the Jedi had failed to keep up with the times.

Stover did such a great job with the novelization. In many ways it's better than the movie

Does the book this video mentions specifically say what Sideous' contingency plans were and how they annihilated the groups of Jedi survivors that rose up?

[@aussakagamine8862]

This is making it sound like the sith's are just very angry parents and just wanted the Jedi to learn a lesson. If they killed them off immediately yoda and obi would've taught luke and luke wouldn't be able to teach future jedi basically enabling the sith downfall from power.

[@henrynorcrossii3363]

That's possible, but the Force would have rebalanced itself by still raising up two more light side users that would have had to learn everything the hard way. Possibly even using the old Jed'I texts to return to using the balanced Force instead of only the light or dark sides.

How is a “year” defined by a galactic community?

[@DeathBringer769]

I guess they all base it on the length of the yearly cycle on the capital planet, i.e. Coruscant? Just my guess. You raise a good point though since the length of one year would be different on each planet.

Except the Jedi were NOT arrogant. They had allowed themselves to become Republic enforcers, which was the biggest problem. They should have stayed separate from the Republic government, not enshrined themselves in it. That is a lesson that in Legends continuity Luke had learned big time.

He didn't kill Yoda because none of his and Palpatine's history had been fleshed out yet. The Sith hadn't even been invented, and the word Sith never appears in the original trilogy. Yoda was just an old master in the middle of nowhere, an archetype that has existed in countless martial arts and magic movies.

[@606hunter1]

Exactly

[@moguera2363]

True to an extent, in a deleted scene during A New Hope during the Death Star conference, one of the officers does refer to Vader as a Sith Lord

[@killersalmon4359]

Michael Matherne Actually, in the novelization and children’s story book for A New Hope, Darth Vader is referred to as a Dark Lord of the Sith. These books came out at around the time of the movie and were based off of the script.

[@christophzeit6282]

I never liked the idea that the jedi were the military and even some sort of governmental body of the old republic that resided on corouscant. I always imagined the jedi as a very heterogeneous group, consisting of only a few individuals like yoda, that were spread out across galaxy, mystical, shadowy figures, appearing here and there in the galaxy, in cases of need or in desperate times, helping out with conflicts in times of war etc. That would also contribute to them becoming more of an urban legend or a myth over time. It's the stupidest idea and a prime example of Lucas's unimaginative and lackluster writing that he would put something silly like a jedi academy for children or jedi school into these movies...

[@josephcharles4549]

@@christophzeit6282 I mean Obi Wan said in a New Hope they were Guardians of the Republic and 10,000 strong. What you described is basically what they were to the general public, the galaxy numbers trillions so even if the Jedi were more vocal due to their ties with the government many people would still never see a Jedi in their life, or at the very least in action. The Clone Wars was one conflict that let the citizens see more often Jedi fighting in the battlefield, these sights contributed to the Jedi legend and myth. Why wouldn't a group this powerful be working close with the dominant galactic power? And even then they remained mainly secretive/mysterious to the public.

Great video. Ironically, it was Sidious’ arrogance that led to his own downfall.

Fantastic insight

[@melancholyentertainment]

And then Yoda went on to help train Luke, who would turn Vader back to the light, and directly cause Palpatine's downfall. Palpatine's hubris and arrogance was a catalyst for his downfall in Return of The Jedi, just as with the Jedi at the end of the Revenge of The Sith. It's like George Lucas himself said: "It's like poetry, it rhymes".

[@superomegaprimemk2]

If Yoda confronted Sidious once more, we can apply a Thanos quote to it "You couldn't live with your failure, where did it bring you? Back to me!" I think in someways, Yoda having been forced to go into exile, likely made the former Grand master more humble and a much wiser, plus he had many years to think upon the failure of the jedi order and find balance within himself more and evenly pass on what he knew to his last student, the son of the man who betrayed the order and helped destory it and murder younglings!

[@ArteriusSaren]

Nah, it doesn't matter at all, he should seek scenarists and did with them same thing he did with a chief engineer of the death star. No way, competent ruler would behave like Palpatine. Just imagine that kind of sheer power in the hands of Hitler, Stalin or Churchill it would be a complete obliteration of any opposition. More and more I understand that some of EU material are more worthy compare to original material in terms of simple logic.

[@rahowherox1177]

Think more of usa keeping osama bin ladin alive. An external and prominent enemy can be very useful ... and not just for propaganda either. (Eg justification for iraq war). If no external threat is evident, an internal "threat" must be sought and framed/blamed for any f ups.

[@scorpioandaries]

I dont exactly understand this. In the clone wars sidious knew yoda had gone the the dark side temple and seen darth bane. So how does degoba block yodas presence? Sidious was able to join with darth tyranis and try to deal a devistating blow to the jedi in that episode. If anyone can explain this it would be very helpful.

[@Fi_Sci_]

It Make sense why Palpatine never obsessed over Yoda unlike how Vader did with Ben Kenobi. During their Duel Sidious had nothing to lose, but Yoda *had everything to lose.* And by the time Yoda had lost the Duel their was nothing he could do, so he went into Exile. As far as Dueling goes however I feel that Yoda had a chance of winning, because when you look at one scene Palpatine no longer had his lightsaber, and offscreen I’m pretty sure Yoda was able to disarm him, which proves master Yoda was the best Duelist in the Order, but unfortunately Sidious’s Strength with the Dark side was far too powerful for Yoda and overwhelmed him.

[@PG-wz9xs]

Actually he never overwhelmed yoda. Yoda overwhelmed him by countering his lighting and made palp scream like he saw a ghost

[@Fi_Sci_]

That's a really great point the dark side cave protected Yoda from being so obviously detected and his far exile from the Empire and Emperor and Vader.
