Why The Empire FOUND Yoda on Dagobah & Palpatine Did NOTHING - Star Wars Explained

[@stanleywilliams1605]

Yoda and Obi-Wan played the same game Palpatine played. They waited. They planned. And when the time was right, they put the plan in motion. Luke Skywalker was that plan. As Palpatine once correctly told Yoda that he was blinded by arrogance, so Luke was correct when he told Palpatine his overconfidence was his weakness. Check mate Lord Sidious.

[@Voidthe47th]

Could not be more true. They played it just like Sidious did during the Clone Wars capitalizing on a chance for opportunity.

[@TheSCPStudio]

Nah, don’t put them on that level. Palpatine was an absolute genius. Weaseling his way to the top of the Republic right under the noses of the Jedi AND masterfully manipulating the other side. He literally CREATED Anakin. Yoda and Obi-Wan weren’t playing some genius waiting game. They were playing the ‘let’s wait and see what happens I guess’ game because they had no other options.

[@stanleywilliams1605]

@@TheSCPStudio I think you're giving ol' Sheev too much credit. He fell victim to the same machinations he rightfully accused the Jedi. Obi-Wan and Yoda counted on Luke and their faith was rewarded. Because of Luke, they took Palpatine's greatest weapon and turned it against him. To quote him :"By now you must know that your father can never be turned." Oh, Sheev, you couldn't be more wrong. Now, what he did to seize power was smart, but I wouldn't call it genius. Women have been doing what Palpatine did for centuries!

The Emperor didn't want to find Yoda, esp when he discovered he was living on a massive Force nexus, and likely told his admirals to leave the dangerous little frog man alone. 😆 As long as Yoda just stayed there as a hermit, trying to kill him was far more trouble than he was worth.

I'm pretty sure if Vader went down and saw Yoda, he'd say to the effect of "understandable, have a nice day". Hes strong, but even whole, he wasn't Yoda strong.

[@daniell5740]

[@TommyTombstone]

Vader would definitely make an attempt on Yoda. Any perception of weakness on Yoda's part would be irresistible, as if a chance to kill the Grandmaster of the Order wasn't enough. It's a win-win for Vader. Either he kills Yoda, or he dies and fulfills his need for self-punishment.

[@godofgold8084]

As aggressive as Vader is, Yoda's power rivals that of Sidious. Even if Vader intercepted, he would be greatly damaged as his respirator is a weak point. Although there's a chance that Yoda could talk with him like the old days at the temple. Who knows, maybe he tries to have him break free of the dark side in the process.

[@klassicguy9628]

Not true. Yoda could never beat sidious because sidious was stronger in the force then he was. The only way Yoda could put up a fight against him was with a lightsaber. In fact in "the book of the jedi" Yoda even said he knew he would lose when he fought sidious. That it was Yodas destiny to lose to the sith lord. So no Yoda was no where near close to sidious power in the force

[@sebastionherring4196]

I don’t think Yoda would have even attempted to turn Vader back to the light. I’m pretty sure Vader was beyond redemption in the eyes of all but Luke, even his own.

[@aarondearth5594]

I truly hope in Kenobi season 2 we see Yoda and Kenobi team up one last time. I don't recall Yoda telling Kenobi in ROTS that he was going there. Although we could all assume he did.

"Forgotten" Sith Temple/Structure on Dagobah. That was the main thing hiding Yoda. All that Dark Side remnant counteracting Yoda's Light Side. Luke did the same thing. Both, for the most part, cut themselves off from the force. Evidence of Sith remnant on Dagobah? I believe it was in the novelization. Also, in TESB you can make out the straight lines of some inner corridor walls beneath the tree. This is why it made a suitable place to test. I am not discounting the reasons why Yoda chose Dagobah as presented in the video. Just thought I'd mention this additional reason. Just noticed someone commenting to this effect.

Dagobah, though uninhabited, is teeming with all manner of life, the primary generator of the Force itself, I believe that he didn’t just go there to hide, but to strengthen both his connection and more importantly his understanding of the force as a whole, this is what allowed him to move past the old Jedi rules and principles.

There is also a possibility that the Imperial admiral was secretly a Rebel/Jedi sympathizer, hence why he ordered for the discovery of Yoda to be erased.

Naw. Even the te rebel alliance didn't know about Yoda's whereabouts. Yoda, knowing the empire was everywhere, wouldn't let a soul know where he was.

If Palps knew where Yoda was, which he probably did but saw that now he was the one with everything to lose and decided that so long as Yoda stayed out of the way, then he wasn't worth the risk.

I think I support the idea that the Emperor might even have tild officers not to report such things; even Kenobi was finally dead, by this point, and Vader didn't need the distraction, but I also think, while it is almost guaranteed not to be the case, it could be neat if the admiral maybe had secret Rebellion sympathy. It might have been cool if he had plausible readonly to spun it the way he did, but actually did so because he hoped it would eventually aid in the downfall of the Empire.

[@davidportnoy3237]

No way Vader would confront Yoda by himself.

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing and that would be epic seeing yoda vs darth Vader in a lightsaber fight ever.

[@williamestes629]

Maybe Palatine suspected they could have found Yoda if they looked hard enough, but the Rebellion was looking for Jedi to help them. It makes sense that if the Empire didn't find the Jedi then the Jedi couldn't.

[@greezythumb]

Except Palps had stated that he was content with allowing Yoda to live knowing he had to live with the guilt of his failure and the lives lost because of his mistakes.

[@williamestes629]

@@greezythumb I see your point. I haven't read any extra Star Wars books since the Thrawn books.

[@XxJokerxX_]

Crazy how someone like vader can be so powerful but yet have many weaknesses

[@LegendaryAntiHero]

On your Marvel channel, can you go over why Jane got Thors armor when she had Mjolnir but Captain Ameroca and Vision did not get the armor?

[@lordofpain3476]

Palpatine knew that Yoda was complete and total failure. The Emperor wanted Yoda to suffer from those failures , Yoda was no threat to him .

[@briancolding]

Vader would have gone to dagobah and not returned

[@bryondevine4224]

I gotta start reading these comics…☮️

[@christopherhood4942]

Plus by then they had the death star. Then you uave to taie into account palpatine nipped these things in the bud with the contingency and later the first order. Then comission of the the knoght of ren as a more formiddable inquisition insured a sense of removing roadblocks

[@apexhunter109]

Maybe Yoda was using the force to manipulate the admiral's mind, he would be strong enough to do so even from that distance

[@damianplasencia2708]

how would he know who the admiral is?

[@isayahbanks1111]

Smart move by Sidious keeping his mouth shut about that because what I thought is this by the time Empire Strikes Back came around Vader already knew he at least had a son the exact opposite of what Sidious told him and was done with the bullshit there was good in Vader and it was getting stronger because Luke was alive and was his son so if Vader ever did find out and went to Degobah Yoda would have turned Vader back to the light sooner than he did now imagine if that were to happen and he Vader and Luke against Sidious he would have gotten creamed not to mention aside from that Sidious had a little bit of respect for Yoda because he was strong and he knew if the Jedi had the balls to stand up to the republic when it was at its most crooked it would have been a totally different fight and they would have won Sidious knew this after all Obi-Wan did put Vader in that suit he calls a coffin robbing Sidious of his prize yea he had Vader but absolutely nowhere near his true potential as the chosen one Anakin Skywalker so yea Sidious allowed Yoda to retire to his death of out that respect that's what I think about that

[@zachall101]

Could yoda have used the force to make the admiral dismiss the image that was shown to him to keep himself safe. After all he is supposed to be the most powerful, so someone with that power could/should possibly be able to do something like that to someone who doesn’t have his lvl of power

[@robertramsey653]

I seen a post back up a ways that said they had read that particular comic and at the end yoda was laughing and saying, yes admiral, it was nothing important at all. Maybe not exact words, but I'm sure you get it. That's what I think, it was just grandmaster yoda using the jedi mind trick.

[@Engine33Truck]

Knowing the fact that Yoda dueled Palpatine (likely the most powerful Sith Lord in history) to a stalemate, he would’ve decimated Vader. Vader wasn’t as powerful in the suit as he was on Mustafar, and he was slower too. While Vader in his prime would’ve likely defeated Yoda, the same can’t be said for Vader in ESB.

[@rkkzjj32]

Repent and follow Jesus! Repent doesn't mean confess your sins buy to stop doing them altogether. Belief alone is messiah doesn't give you salvation you have to follow and obey His commands too - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36. The last 3000+ years have been a testimony to God's word. contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) God is real and can tell the future/ make it happen or B) The world leaders/nations/governments have been conspiring together for the last several millenia. Bible prophecy is still being fulfilled too with the rebirth of Israel in 1948 and the incoming RFID microchips that Sweden is testing out right now. Pray for God to intervene in your life and look for the motion of His hand. If you have any questions about scripture feel free to ask me

[@dukethighwalker6839]

Vader in his prime lost to Kenobi, so I doubt it.

[@TD101-l2o]

@@dukethighwalker6839 He only lost bc he was overconfident he was dominant most of the fight

[@05goode]

Vader esb is prime Vader. Yoda died from old age a few months later

[@Engine33Truck]

@@05goode Vader in his prime was on Mustafar. He would never be in his prime again in the suit. In the suit he was not as powerful in the Force, he was not as agile, and he was in constant torment from pain caused by the suit and constant nightmares. He would never have clarity of mind. The moments where we see a glimpse of what he was before the suit are the brief moments he calms himself and thinks with a clear mind, like the moments he calmed himself and dominated in Obi-Wan. But the sheer amount of pain the suit kept him in meant he just couldn’t do that very much.

[@wesleyhousholder5027]

Yoda using his lightsaber to destroy the droid seems sloppy for someone so wise and so powerful in the force. Someone as powerful as Yoda I think he could've used the force to make the droid appear to malfunction or suffer from a random glitch. However, had he done that, we wouldn't have this cool story lol.

[@jamescomber1127]

I wonder if yoda could beat sidious on a second try. That'd be sick.

[@mace7754]

I think yoda would have won. Same as when Windu fought him, he won fair in square as George Lucas said.. but Palp was a pussy and had to hide in the shadows or he woulda gotta his ass raped by the Jedi.

[@sebastianbillings7807]

Watch the fight again carefully .. Palps starts to intensify his lightning , yoda is absorbing it. Then Yoda kinda intensifies back .. Maybe even taps into a little anger (raises the eyebrow ) Look at palpatines face.. Its clearly he's overwhelmed a bit. But since Yoda is so small, he gets blown back and ends up falling off. He lost because ... Physics ?? Then again, in the novelization of episode III - it talks of their duel in a way that.. The light side just didn't have it. That it had remained stagnant for a millennia , and for a millennia the dark side had advanced .. In secret.

[@TommyTombstone]

This reminds me of something I once heard about Stalin. His own advisors and aides dared not disturb him with bad news or interruptions. Everybody who spoke with him lied to his face, constantly. Nobody dared to wake him if he overslept. As such, he couldn't trust anybody, and rarely was given reliable information. I suspect the same is true for a certain Korean political leader.
