I think it's more like Yoda is the only Jedi that Sideous respected up to that point. He later respected Kenobi for his determination in confronting Vader, but Yoda was probably the first Jedi he ever respected.

[@illapuproductions]

It’s stated in books and other sources he feared mace and respected mace. He even considered mace more powerful than yoda, they did a video on this channel about it.

[@TypicalidiotGuy]

I believe that the emperor didn't see yoda as a typical Jedi but as an elder force user who simply by the nature of his species followed a different path. This is only after years of different interactions with Yoda and seeing that if Yoda went dark side, his power would be unrivaled and would almost certainly nearly wipe out the entire galaxy

[@FrostedSeagull]

In the novel - RoTS - we are told Yoda is a 'giant in the Force. ' Sidious is instantly afraid. He fooled 99.9 per cent of the Jedi but didn't realise how truly powerful Yoda actually was. That's why he tries to make a break for it.

[@3.75istheway7]

It always makes me laugh at how he went feet up over his desk why yoda pushed him

[@N3xTOrion]

i still dont get how people can watch Yoda vs Palp fight and say Palp is stronger in the force then Yoda. Sidious's strongest force ability if not thee strongest ever with it is force lighting and Yoda not only absorbed the full power of it but was pushing it back at Palp. He only loses because he was on the edge of the senate pod where as Palp wasnt when the repulse went off. Cause Palp gets pushed back from the explosion just as Yoda does. I believe Yoda is stronger in lightsaber combat and in the force, but he loses to Palp cause the force wields it so and to bring balance back the force.

[@hieloz]

"I'm too weak." - Sidious

[@lorddarkrai7712]

I think an interesting what if would be if Yoda and Sidious met on neutral ground for a discussion of the force, similar to how Yoda and Dooku met where Yoda tapped into the dark side, i just think it’d be an interesting idea for these 2 obviously opposing forces to have a less heated conversation about the ways of the force rather than trying to murder each other

[@mattr.1887]

Absolutely. If both sides were smart, they would accept that light and dark are both an inevitable part of life and thus of the Force itself. No need for unhealthy extremes. Find balance by embracing the best of both.

[@3haljordan]

People forget that Yoda had a limited time to defeat Sidious, because he was also the Chancellor, security was rushing to the aid of Sidious as well. So by the time the clone troopers got to Sidious it was too late for Yoda to finish and he left.

[@Jamyn1996]

This cleared up some confusion for me. I watched ROTS today and wondered why he left the fight when he definitely could’ve continued a 1-on-1. Thanks!

[@tyronehuston1260]

I understand why he would think Grandmaster Yoda was arrogant, but if you ask me, to harbor all this great immense power and use to serve and protect rather than dominate and conquer is not a weakness, but exactly what made him the ultimate representative of the light side of the force. As the old saying goes, “ Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely “ Anyone, even someone as wise and as powerful as the Grandmaster, is susceptible to corruption or influence of power wether being good or evil. The Dark Side embraces the corruption of power while the Jedi resist. Sideous too, made a grave error in underestimating his opponent because of his own power so this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The ultimate good vs the ultimate evil. Neither truly bested the other. In the end, the Sith Lord had to respect how the old master wielded so nobly the immense amounts of power.

[@CorbCorbin]

Yet, they were corrupted. Living on Coruscant in a giant temple, doing the will of powerful people, who represented the systems.

[@normknapp4404]

I personally don’t agree with the statement power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely! I feel that power attracts the corruptible! History is full of examples of this… as you look at people before they became powerful many of them already had predilections towards doing questionable things!

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

@@normknapp4404 Anakin was a shining example of how power corrupts. Before he was aware of his power, Qui-Gon noted that he gave without any thought at all.

[@danielsequeira3384]

And yet all sidious could do was throw pods at him lol sidious was outmatched and he knew it

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Dooku clearly felt Yoda was the more terrifying of the two should he ever embrace the Dark Side. His opinion means much as the only being in the galaxy close enough to both to make that call. This is why Sidious was wise to ensure that all he had to do to prevail after Order 66 was to live. Yoda had to roll a six and came within three inches of doing it.

[@Nate-ht4se]

dooku arguably wouldn’t have known the full extent of sidious’s power since sidious rarely displayed how powerful he really was and with all of his apprentices, only taught them what he felt was necessary while usually keeping the more advanced/valuable dark side knowledge for himself. that being said, i do agree that dooku was talented and strong enough in the force that he probably would have had a reasonably accurate sense of his master’s power. interestingly enough, that one “much to learn, you still have” line from his first duel with yoda implied that yoda, much like sidious, kept his greatest force knowledge and secrets to himself lol. it’s actually quite impressive dooku became as powerful as he did when the only two masters he ever had were so greedy with their knowledge 😂😂😂

[@dreadrath]

@@Nate-ht4se Yeah, it always did seem like both Yoda and Sidious purposely half-assed Dooku's training. Yoda was rather neglectful as a master and was somewhat wary of Dooku learning too much, while Sidious totally half-assed Dooku's training in the dark side to stunt his growth. Its kind of funny that despite that, Dooku largely found his own way to become as strong as he did. Kind of sad really, he had two of the most powerful masters of his era, but neither one of them particularly cared to teach him properly. Its actually a pity Plagueis wasn't the one to recruit Dooku since Plagueis would've actually educated him properly in the dark side and made him even stronger (Not quite Yoda or Sidious tier, but still damn strong)

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

Dark Rendevouz! Great book

[@ProGamingTVGamer]

But Yoda didn't embrace the dark side, so he wasn't more powerful. One reason he stayed with Sidious was that he thought he is the most powerful in the galaxy. Dooku was confident to fight Yoda in 1v1, but he was scared to fight Sidious without help.

[@anthonymartinez5634]

I'm sure he also knew that Yoda wouldn't kill him. Just disarm him. Sidious would kill him in a challenge.

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

I never understand why some people draw the conclusion that Sidious is more powerful than Yoda. It seems rather untrue. Yoda was the demonstrably better swordsman and more powerful in the Force. What other conclusion can one draw from Sidious pushing out his best effort with Force Lightning, only for Yoda to absorb it and turn it back on him? Yoda clearly bested him on both measures. Though it is clear, the margin is so slight as to almost be irrelevant.

[@chadwendt8702]

Ir anything, the only reason Sidious edged Yoda in the confrontation is how diminished the Light side was after the culling of the Jedi and Sidious riding the pendulum swing of the Force in general towards the dark side in those moments.

[@ProGamingTVGamer]

Well, Sidious Midichlorians are higher than Yodas and in the novel Yoda admitted he could not win the fight.

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

Couldn't agree more. The novelization states that Yoda only retreated because the force itself grew dark, and it was the force's will for him to live to fight another day aka train Luke

Palpatine was afraid because he knew he got lucky in his fight with Yoda. Yoda is actually stronger in the force and better with a light saber. If Yoda had not been closer to the edge, Sidious would have lost.

This is not said enough. Yoda disarmed Sidious and when Palpatine threw the best he had against Yoda with the Lightning barrage Yoda threw it right back in his face. Yoda proved he was marginally stronger. But the Force was not on the side of the Jedi and had Yoda's footing been slightly better the galaxy would have been spared decades of tyranny.

[@randalcook325]

This video touches on both the light and dark. But I honestly believe that had this battle continued much longer, Palpatine would have won out. Yoda was either 900 hundred years old or very close to it at this time. One could say he was on the decline in his powers. Yoda gave everything he got, but The Emperor stayed with him in the fight. I do believe that this is why Yoda lost this fight, was knocked off the podium and fell to the bottom of the Senate floor and finally made it to Bail Organnas speeder telling Bail " Failed have I". Then Yoda fleeing to a mudpit of a world hiding from The Emperor and Vader. The bottom line here is that Yoda and the light side failed in this case and The Emperor and the Darkside won. There simply is no other way to look at it.

A solid video and breakdown, I could see that Palpatine was terrified of Yoda's abilities more so during their fight because think of the battle earlier Mace Windu came very close to taking the Emperor out but after Palpatine had easily killed three great Jedi masters. Palpatine could have still been weakened from that fight now comes Yoda his greatest threat and after the first blast which Yoda shook off Palpatine thought possibly this could be the end which would have terrified him.

[@MikeJones-mf2fw]

Especially when he broke Palps force barrier when he pushed him back into his chair after taking his force lightning. It's like Yoda wanted to see what he had in terms of power instead of force absorbing the lightning. I bet that made Sidious go oh dayum this little green dude is more powerful than I realize.

Probably realizing he'd found someone, finally, that was his match one way or the other. Especially in ways like the blade. Had the Cosmic level balance been NOT Darkside shifted an more towards neutral or even the opposite Yoda might've proved to be too much to handle. An it's something don't think was lost on Sideous. ALSO to consider, Sideous like ALL Sith respect Strength an passion. An it's NOT something unheard of. Quite common for even bitterly hated enemies to STILL have respect for each other. Happens in both real life an plenty other franchises all time. Some bitter enemies ironically seem to like an respect their hated rivals an STILL want better for them then some of their personal allies depending Wonder if it was planned by the Force to have Yoda spend decades living rent free in Palpatine's head too or did Palpy find a being to love an have a bromance with??? Which sounds like an old Robot Chicken Episode...

[@harrisonmccartney4878]

I think the only thing that saved Sidious here was Yoda being a true follower of the light side. Yoda didn't want to kill him, although he easily could have. Sidious, being the literal embodiment of the dark side, was powerful on his own, but his true power lay in his ability to corrupt. It's why he dared Luke to strike him down during their confrontation. If Sidious could make Yoda or Luke kill him, it would open them up to the dark side. They would feel all powerful in the aftermath and would have struggled to walk the path of the light ever again. It's why Vader had to be the one to kill him. Vader already sacrificed himself to the dark side, and he knew he would die if he challenged Sidious, so he made the sacrifice that neither Yoda nor Luke could make without becoming evil in the process. Palpatine also didn't care if he was killed because he already mastered a process of bringing himself back. Say what you will about the bad storywriting of the sequels, I actually think Sidious coming back made total sense when you see how often he tempted Jedi to kill him. He wouldn't have just invited certain death without some way to subvert it, and he would still win by making Luke or Yoda strike him down in a rage, which is the first step on the path to the dark side.

I'm pretty sure the most powerful Sidious is the elderly one, as he purely relied on how powerful he was in the force. Not to mention having the resources to simply never have to fight again if he didn't want to. In Disney Canon - I hate that word - it's clearly Sidious in EP 9 IMO.

Then he used the scarring to look sympathetic in front if the senate and portray the jedi as aggressors. After all that, he’d won and had no further reason to ever hide his true form again. That’s the reason given by canon at least. Personally I prefer the explanation that sith eyes and disfigurement are the result of a sith accessing more power than their body could handle, meaning Dooku and Palpatine were always in perfect control of themselves and avoided disfigurement. Meanwhile Anakin immediately gets Sith eyes because he wasn’t in control of all the power he was channeling, for example. The dark side is a pathway to access greater powers than you would otherwise have, but accessing more power than you can handle has negative side effects. I saw Palpatine as being so powerful that he could access all that dark side but handle it without harming himself, and Dooku exercised restraint and control so he never drew so deeply from the dark side that it overwhelmed his body. Then Windu actually nearly killed Palpatine and forced him to draw deeply from the dark side to survive his own lightning being bent back into himself, and using the dark side to sustain his own life is what disfigured him so badly so immediately. The force mask always seemed like a made up detail, in that it was never mentioned in the movies. But that’s the official explanation.

make you wonder if a yoda that was a few decades younger might have been at the same strength that sidious was. afther all yoda is OLD, and in roughly 2 decades afther this event he would die of old age. if 900 year is the average life time of yodas species then it would mean yoda would probably be like 100 years (would think average life span atleast in the core worlds amoung humans is higer than what it is in countrys like Norway, the us, germany etc because of far more advanced medical knowledge than exsists on earth and probably able to treath and detect far more illnesses than we can. i think luke in legends lived to like 136 or something like that. and that is 10-15 years longer than the longest living person ever (not counting people from myths, legends and religion)

[@andromeda5414]

Yoda and Sidious were equally matched in force power. The official complete visual dictionary states this.

[@jsmitty2047]

Although after this, Luke became more powerful than Yoda. Luke became one with the force...like to see that video.

[@persuasivebarrier2419]

When I first saw Yoda fight him and lose in the Senate, I thought Sideious was thinking Yoda vanished and his cloak was the only thing left of him (like with old Obi-Wan's last fight with Vader). And that's why Sidious laughed.

[@andromeda5414]

It was a stalemate

[@gavomorg762]

Was that b4 or after you realised that Obi wan was years away from dying and becoming one with the force 🤔 😂👍

[@TheStellarmanCo.]

Yoda didn't lose, he disarmed Sidious proving he wasbthe better Duelist and Yoda literally threw Force Lighting back at the Sith Lord with the Most Powerful Sith Lightning in the Galaxy, Yoda couldn't stay because clones came, no way Palpatine was going to go too to toe with Yoda, Sidious was shaking in his boots

[@persuasivebarrier2419]

@@TheStellarmanCo. my statement is less about him losing or acknowledgement the sith had grown beyond the jedi, and more about his cloak. I distinctly remember sidious looking down after getting shocked and only seeing the cloak. I initially misunderstood what sidious thought had happened (and what would happen to obi-wan later).
