    Splitting up was stupid. They divided their strengths. They should've gone to Darth Sidious, together they could've taken him out, and then gone together to take out Darth Vader.

    • @Joesolo13
      @Joesolo13 Před 7 lety +72

      Marcel Diezasch I think taking out sidious would have been the right call. kill the emperor before the empire is really formed and the Republic would likely survive. dealing with the clones would be hard, but with the Republic maintained they'd probably find a way.
      it'd likely be seen as either a bout of insanity before his death or something

    • @BladeOfLight16
      @BladeOfLight16 Před 7 lety +37

      +Joesolo13 I actually don't think dealing with the clones would've been a problem. With Dooku and Sidious dead, no one would execute Order 66. The few remaining Jedi would have moved _out_ of the political realm, if for no other reason than as a show of good faith that they didn't do it to gain power for themselves. And since the clones were loyal to the Republic, I doubt they would just turn on it or the Jedi without anyone forcing them.
      +Robert There's no guarantee that two Jedi would've been better than one against Sidious. Having them both there could have made it possible for Sidious to play on their desire to protect each other, making it even more difficult for them. Also look at how he wasted those 3 Jedi when Windu tried to arrest him. (Granted, they weren't as skilled duelists as Yoda, Obi Wan, and Windu, but still.) Windu won because his Vaapad style was the perfect counter for Sidious' raw power; it turned that power against him. No other Jedi had mastered the style without falling to the dark side. Yoda was unable to defeat Sidious in the end, and I don't see any reason to think Obi Wan could do it, either.

      In the novelisation Yoda is strong and can contend with Sidious however Sidious was more powerful than Yoda. The novelisation says that Yoda realises he was not capable of beating Sidious, this is due to Yoda getting tired during the fight while been surprised that Sidious was actually still getting stronger and not tired like Yoda.
      ObiWans seresu style does not compliment Yoda either. On top of this Sidious was so far ahead of ObiWan he would probably kill him to initiate the fight like he did with Windu and Fisto etc.
      In short Yoda and Sidious were not equals and neither were Anikan and Obiwan. Anikan was by far stronger but upset by his own conflicting crimes and padme while also facing his perfect counter, there are a lot of reasons why he lost but not been strong enough is not among them.

      @Josh Cappaert You think Anakin was better than Yoda and Mace at this point? Mace beat Sidious. He would also beat Anakin. I think even a full powered dark side Anakin would still have trouble with either of them. Mace feeds off the dark and can basically sense and act on any weakness. Anakin even commented on how impressed he was witnessing Mace and Sidious fight, saying he could barely see what was going on bc they were moving so fast. Yoda was a master of every form, so he could simply switch to the form that would beat Anakin’s form 5. If Anakin had more time, maybe it would be a toss up between them, but while still transitioning I still believe he would lose almost every time. Midichlorian count isn’t everything, and 800 years of experience would be too much for Anakin. What do you think? I think Sidious was being brutally honest when he said Yoda would’ve killed him.

    The fundamental flaw with so many Yoda VS Vader arguments is that Yoda mastered ALL styles, &, while he wasn't his master, he mastered so many students that he would know exactly how to handle a Form V wielder.
    That "Yoda wouldn't know Anakin's details" isn't valid- because Anakin knew Obi-Wan just as well, so neither opponent would have an advantage in that field.
    Not to mention, he was so superior to Anakin in the Force.

      This is almost exactly what I was going to write. Yoda mastered all styles and taught all styles and likely taught Anakin when he was young. He would have quickly adapted and countered and overwhelmed Anakin. In addition, I don't think the lava was a physical threat to Yoda in the same way. Yoda fought much smarter and conserved resources, as soon as Anakin tried to land on that droid over the lava, yoda would have just yanked it out of the way or something.

    I would say that, by itself, nearly 900 years of experience as well as mastery of all other dueling forms, Yoda would have made mincemeat out of Vader. What's more, Yoda trained both Obi Wan and Anakin, so he's very well familiar with both of them as individuals and fighters. While perhaps lacking the intimate knowledge of Anakin that Obi Wan had, Yoda would know enough, and in many ways, see right through Vader without having the personal feelings getting in the way. I'm sure Yoda would have readily switched forms or even combined forms as needed given the situations to easily overtake Vader. The premise of this video is that he'd stick with a particular form, when in fact he'd most likely use the various form(s) fluidly as needed, and would be far more adept at it than Vader, having simply much more practice at it.

      3.Obi-Wan let go of his attachment the second he found out it was the only way to win.
      4.Yoda only knows all forms in theory, he can’t use them all due to his small stature, and feeble build. Besides, knowing all forms didn’t help Cin Drallig when he was stomped by Anakin with one hand.

      You know such a statement about a lightsaber duel is false just by reading "regardless of style". Sorry to burst your bubble, but Yoda would stand no chance against Vader/Anakin. As was explained in the video in clear and simple words, Yoda's aggressive fighting style would leave him open to Vader/Anakin's powerful and swift counter-attacks. Furthermore, Vader/Anakin wouldn't feel the same frustration and inner turmoil like if he fought Obi-Wan, his former master and best friend. And don't try to twist the lava river into something Yoda could utilize, the fight would most surely have ended before the opponents even reached it. Finally, no, I do not care this is a nine-month old comment , the "opinion" you presented was blatantly incorrect and unsupported and, as of now, it seems to remain unchallenged. The serious fan-base has no space for delusional neckbeard fanboys. With all due respect, Yoda would have had his ass handed to him.

    • @MrBeardedgelfling
      @MrBeardedgelfling Před 6 lety +13

      No he's not Yoda is a MASTER of ALL saber forms. He favours form IV but it's not the only style he's mastered, do you really think a 800 year old Jedi Master is going to stick to his preferred style if it's going to get him killed or give him a hard time, especially when he's MASTERED ALL saber forms?...
      No of course not and this is why Anakin would be dead so much quicker than the drawn out fight Obi-Wan has with him. Yoda would finish the fight as quickly and as efficiently as he could because a drawn out fight for him is bad... he's old and tires quickly even with the force to aid him - this is why he favours form IV over others. So if form IV is going to make the fight longer and more dangerous for him he'd change his style to adapt and use a style that will give him a quick victory.
      Anakin/Vader is to arrogant and angry to use this to his advantage - he would go full on aggressive against Yoda he's yet to learn 'humility' and patients (Obi-Wan teaches him that in the harshest of ways as we know), and would get himself killed thinking he can beat an aged Yoda... or he would be a total coward and just run for the hills. As we know Sith to do all the time, when they DO realise they are out matched - however I don't think Anakin would do this he's to arrogant and full of himself he's 'the chosen one' after all.
      Most Likely Yoda would keep to form IV as he needs it due to his age and size... but add elements of II and VIII into his style to fight Anakin, using Form II combined with form VII to counter Anakin rage and channel his own anger and dark feeling at the younglisng's death by Anakin/Vaders hand to over come and defeat Anakin quickly.
      I think Yoda could use form VII at this point as he wouldn't have had time to meditate and centre himself at the horror that had befallen all the Jedi... it's like Yoda felt each death as it happened - this would bring him dark thoughts but such a master would be able to channel and control such feeling. Also Yoda has 800 years of experience and life to draw on to be able to find the darker side in him to use form 7, and be able to do so without losing control being such a master of his emotion and mind - he's the considered the greatest Jedi Master of his time for a reason.
      I'm pretty sure we see him tap into this with his dual with Palpatine and would say that he used something like what i describe above to fight Palpatine. Tricks & tactics, acrobatics and control anger and a relentless assault - All aspects of form 2 , 4 and 7 as mentioned.

  • @JimmyCrackorn
    @JimmyCrackorn Před 4 lety +2

    Dooku said Yoda and Sidius were equal in power in the novel and we saw that in that fight. Yoda lost to gravity and Sidius's dark sense of humor. It was purely by chance that Sidius landed in the stands and Yoda landed on the edge of a tipping seat with no grip. The blast was caused by matching force between the two. He only exiled himself because he failed to kill Sidius and couldn't continue the fight after such a serious fall.
    I think Yoda's extensive knowledge of the force would have earned him an eventual and very hard fought win against Sidius, thanks to the lost knowledge. I think Yoda would have broken his foot off in Anakin's ass something fierce. When Anakin took L's, he lost bad. Like, he got gnarly wounds like lost limbs [big up, Dooku]. Yoda was a greater master of his preferred style than Obi Wan was of his, plus, Yoda knows all the styles. He would definitely switch as soon as it was in his best interest to. Anakin would have been stuck and unable to keep up with the mix against centuries of combat experience and power on the same level as his Sith master. I don't disagree with the conclusion that he would win, just saying it would have been a pretty easy win for him.
    It's important to remember that Anakin's count isn't the same as his fully realized power. It speaks to just his potential, which he never reached. He never matched Sidius in power in life. Ever. And his growth was slowed by his wounds from Obi Wan. He still got pretty far but not as far as most think. I mean, as impressive as an interstellar force choke is, his grandson totally stopped an actual light beam in its tracks, kept it perfectly in place for a whole scene, and did it with zero effort and hardly any attention at all. Shit, he literally broke the physics of the universe he's in lol That's pretty goddamn powerful by comparison.

  • @bishop8000

    This flies in the face of in cannon feats. Anakin couldn't even perceive Sidius' strikes in the WIndu fight because they were so fast, yet Yoda fought Sidius on even terms. Therefore we can conclude that Yoda's speed and perception is on another level entirely from Anakin's, and he would likely curb-stomp Anakin in a matter of seconds regardless of which fighting style Yoda chose. Not to mention that Obi Wan was sent to fight Anakin instead of the Emperor specifically because he was a less powerful fighter.

Current canon has Maul ranked above Dooku, so that tells us without a doubt, Dooku isn't as big and bad as his fanboys make him out to be. Furthermore, Anakin is canonically stated to be Obi-Wan's equal, despite getting a boost in power from the dark side, and Yoda already told us Obi-Wan could not defeat Palpatine. Had Yoda gone to Mustafar, Anakin would not have survived. Fact.

Sidious would have been killed, since he would have gone to Mustafar. Yoda would have killed Sidous, if he did not fall. Yoda beat Sidious in the lightsaber fight and actually did beat him in the force struggle. You see Yoda turn the tables on Sidious during that force power struggle. Sidious was looking very concern, but Yoda fell too far and knew that if they did kill the Emperor, the clones and the Republic will still see the Jedi as evil. Yoda also saw into the future and knew what had to be done. He probably saw that Luke would return the Jedi to where it should have gone. That is why he decided to retreat.

    You say that Yoda couldn't use form 3 to outlast Anakin and that Anakin's form would counter Yoda's but A) Yoda's extreme mastery of form 4 means that he jumps around so much and he is so small that Anakin would have a hard time hitting him and B) As Yoda has mastered all forms, he may deem it necessary to use a different form to fit the matchup.

  • @caseyhenry3298

    Agree with all said upon Obi Won. However, I wonder about a few things. What does being a master of all forms means, if it not that Yoda can't move into form 3 at any particular time? Also, Anakin wouldn't have been familiar with Yoda either, which may have been an bigger issue as he would not be prepared for Yoda's speed. It would take a seamless defensive performance just for him to make it out of the early fight.

    I have to disagree. Yoda was Grand Master for a reason. As Grand Master Yoda would have mastered all forms of Lightsaber combat to their highest level. Obi-wan may have een the best at form 3, but Yoda would have had t advantage as master of all forms. Even if we accept that Yoda like form 4 the best, he would have been able to switch forms as he fought Vader. That way he keeps Vader off balance. Also one advantage Yoda had you never spoke of was Yoda's age. As he was almost 900 years old he had centuries of experience to draw on. Obi-wan would not have had that level of experience.
    The bottom line is Yoda would have finished off Vader sooner than Obie-wan.

      Totally. Plus, I think Vader only lasted that long against Obi Wan because Obi Wan Was conflicted. He knew what he had to do but hadn’t committed to it yet (and still couldn’t kill his best friend in the end) because he had a few opportunities to kill Vader in their fight, but only upon failing to bring him back while on the lava droids and realizing how far he had fallen did Obi Wan finally steel himself to finish it. So yeah, Vader isn’t making it off the landing pad against Yoda.

  • @bostontracy5151
    @bostontracy5151 Před 7 lety +53

    The other half of this question that hadn't been remarked upon, was what if Obi-wan fought Palpatine instead of Yoda fighting him. As you mentioned, it's been stated in the Star Wars universe that Obi-wan is the ultimate master of the defensive Soresu, whereas Yoda is the ultimate master of the acrobatic Ataru (though he HAD mastered all 7 forms). I think this would've given Obi-wan an advantage against Sidious because nothing Sidious can do would've overcome Obi-wan's masterful defense. We saw Windu defeat Sidious by using his rage against him, and it's reasonable to assume that Obi-wan could've held off Sidious' attack until Obi-wan could exploit an opening made because of Sidious' rage and frustration.

    • @jamesmulrey6061

      Sorry but you are incorrect Sidious was much more powerful in the force and would have crushed Obi-Wan. Also Palpatine cut down 3 Master Jedi in his office before they could attack. Palpatine was ungodly fast and in the book Anakin said him and Windu went almost unseen the entire battle only seeing the blur of sabers.

    • @jamesmulrey6061
      @jamesmulrey6061 Před 6 lety +19

      Nipsey Muscle Mace Windu could keep up because he fed off Palpatines power. His fighting style Vapaad an offshoot of Juyo was meant to feed and amp Maces power. Obi Wan was excellent and the outright master of Ataru he stood no chance against Palpatine. Palpatine could kill most Jedi with force powers he didn’t need a lightsaber. Vader feared him and only 2 Jedi Masters could have challenged him one (supposedly) died because of Anakin. The other couldn’t get Palpatine into a closed area where he could finish him. Palpatine feared one Jedi and it was Yoda because Yodas force powers were just as absurd before Luke.

    • @FelixS.
      @FelixS. Před 6 lety +9

      Nipsey Muscle James is right. Palpatine would smoke Obi-Wan. The fact they are not that fast in the movie is because the audience is supposed to see a decent fight. It is the same thing when Russians speak Englisch in movies and say something like "your russian is superb". You are supposed to understand the context. That is called suspension of disbelief. Also don´t compare Windu and Obi-Wan in terms of lightsabre capabilities. Windu is a behemoth when it comes to lightsabre balltes. He would rape Obi-Wan.

      @caleb8410 Před 5 lety +2

      One had to be exceptionally more powerful and skilled in the force than their apponent to do so. Otherwise the other could sense it coming and resist it. Yoda does something similar in the clone wars when he rips asaj ventress' lightsabers out of her hand and then returns them to her, but that is the level of power imbalance that is required for something like that to happen. Remember when obi and anakin are force pushing each other and are basically at a stalemate. Anakin is clearly the stronger force user, but obi is skilled enough with the force to make up the difference in relative strength.

  • @Joni_Tarvainen
    @Joni_Tarvainen Před 7 lety +20

    I'm not on the same side with this conclusion but let me explain why, before disliking my comment;
    Anakin had far more experience from the battlefiesld and sinqular duels agains various Sith apprentices/assassins like Ajass Ventress, Count Dooku, General Grievous and briefly even Savage Opress.
    Yoda was most of his life a peace-time Jedi who was forced into lead of the Republic army where he failed, unlike Anakin where he made impossible missions possible and proved his total command over force in Mortis.
    His hatred came from the lack of respect from Jedi Council, which Yoda led, so his rage would be much more immense and most possibly driven him extremely deep into darkness.
    Now the reasoning behind lightsaber forms;
    Yoda used his Ataru as a text book version. His every movement was predictable to anyone who knew anything about Ataru, which Anakin did both from experience against it as well as in his training.
    Reason why Yoda didn't behead Dooku in Ep.2 was exactly this same reason. His every attack is completely readable as it follows the 3 main focus points all the time.
    Anakin would understand this very early in the battle as he have had to adapt his forms and learn by experience during the Clone wars from various enemies. His situational awareness was subconscious and force enhanced where Yoda had only other.
    Anakins perfect knowledge on his respectable form would have been near perfect match against Yodas Ataru and his rage against council would have been greater. He wouldn't be fighting against his mentor and brother, he'd be fighting against Grand master of the Jedi Council.
    Leave thoughts if you think differently, I wanna keep this topic open for more detailed discussion, as I'm quite sure that Sidious's "hindsight" about how lucky Vader was that Yoda weren't at Mustafar instead of Obi-Wan. I think it was more of an manipulation to great that reliefed and thankful misconception that he fed to Vader.

    Yoda have also insight in Anakins dreams and future sights. Possibly informing Vader that "Dark dreams you had, witnessing death and loss. A trick by your friend Darth Sidious it was. Only suffering will you find, if you follow the path of the dark side. Attacked Padmè you did, yet you fear her death." Vader might begin to doubt his path, realizing that the fear that turned him to the dark, was a ruse which would cause him to join the dark side and lose what he tried to save.
    Yoda might not have an advantage against Vader in lightsaber, however Yoda was also a lot more focused on the mind of his opponent. To force out the truth, perhaps making Vader see it too.

  • @floralpoboop

    Vader was holding back with obiwan, he wouldn't have with yoda, his pure hatred would have been at his height, and striken down yoda without remorse. Vader didn't want to kill obiwan which is why he won. But I am convinced that both obiwan and yoda were secret siths. Yoda being the master. Yoda knew everything that could have prevented the rise of the empire and yet he still allowed it to continue knowing exactly how to prevent it but kept it secret from everyone. Obiwan hid in plain sight where vader knew he could have been hiding, he also knew where yoda could have been hiding.
    Yoda is old, very old, almost immortal, the only entintieis that live that long are sith lords who spent time trying to cheat death and that is what yoda has done, and obiwan also found a way to cheat death as a force ghost. Both things that the sith aimed to do and yet both of them have achieved it. Cedius only said that to make himself feel better after failing to kill yoda himself, but cedius clearly is inexperienced with light saber combat. Mace's thrill of the duel is what held him back. It was his weakness that he enjoyed dueling too much and didn't want it to end.

Meanwhile, Yoda fights Vader aware of his form disadvantage and is the smarter fighter. However, Vader's focus on an opponent he has no emotional connection to is a huge equaliser and his defence plus clever counter-attacks keep Yoda on notice. Sidious arrives before the duel has a defining conclusion and Yoda is forced into retreat, mourning the loss of his friend and his failure.

    People forget that Yoda, although had mastery of all forms, due to his body size, Ataru was the only real form he COULD utilize. And that in itself wasn't strategically sound. Yoda used Ataru, to keep an onslaught assault going, yet at his old age, Anakin would have the advantage of Yoda needing to end the duel quickly. Yoda would tire much faster than Anakin would, thus pressuring Yoda to MAKE something happen. Yoda can't adequately pull out other forms as his whole jumping and attacking style was Ataru in itself. Yoda would need to overpower Anakin before he tired, which I think is unlikely. Yoda tired after dueling Dooku briefly, imagine a dragged out duel with Anakin?

    In the video he states that Yoda was not a match for “the new sith.” I would simply like to bring up the fact that Yoda beat Sidious in lightsaber combat (Sidious apparently lost his weapon long before Yoda did and retreated to higher ground), then, even with the HIGH GROUND, Sidious was incapable of beating Yoda in a force battle until Yoda got to even ground with him and they locked in a force engagement. Then, if you look closely enough, Yoda begins winning the force battle and was going to defeat Sidious, but then the power got too unstable and explodes before it reaches Sidious, sending both of them flying. The difference that results in a victory for Sidious is that he is in the center of the platform and physically larger, resulting in him not flying as far back and still being able to hold on without falling. Yoda was on the edge; therefore, he had no room behind him to land and he fell a very long way (he was on the side towards the middle of the senate chamber). Yoda only lost because of circumstance and his physical size in that situation. Palpatine even recognizes during the battle that he is losing and cannot best the Grandmaster through sheer power. You can see it on his face when Yoda starts to beat him. With that said, Yoda in his extensive knowledge of both sides of the force and his extreme resolve and ability to remain calm and focused and not make mistakes would allow him to beat Anakin. Dooku was very arrogant in his powers and he was an experienced master in both swordplay and the force and Yoda put him in his place easily. Anakin shows even more arrogance that would result in his downfall.

    as far as lightsaber styles go i believe you are forgetting yoda is a master of all styles and uses whatever style will be most effective and even mixes styles like a jedi MMA fighter.

    Completely flawed analogy because Yoda would not need to fight using a light saber.

      most duels don't even last a minute. ten minutes is a ridiculous stretch. maybe thirty seconds.

      vader vs luke empire strikes back lasted a long time. vader vs luke return of the jedi last amlost 5 minutes obi wan and qui gon vs maul like 7 mins. Count dooku vs anakin and obi wan both fights from ep 2 and 3 are longer then 3 mins. emperor palpatine vs yoda lasted like 8 mins. Anakin vs obi wan lasted 14 minutes. they do not last only a minute

      Most of the examples you quote are duels between acknowledged masters of lightsaber dueling, and thus are not terribly representative. Given how deadly lightsabers are, most duels would end quite quickly, as the first mistake, or successful strike by either side would be lethal, or leave bits chopped off, and be lethal a second later.
      Most Jedi only really had enough lightsaber training to defend themselves (before the Clone Wars, at least), since the Jedi Order mostly sought to resolve disputes via diplomacy and political means. Like most countries IRL with fully armed police forces, many would likely go their whole career going routinely armed, but never even drawing their weapon in anger, let alone use it.

    However, you should remember that, unlike Obi Wan and Vader, Yoda is a master of all 7 forms like Sidious so could change his style at will and be unpredictable. He prefers form IV but I'm sure he would have the sense to change tactics/forms when he saw his aggressive form IV wasn't working. He could easily either switch to Obi Wan's form III or mirror Vader's own Form V. Lastly, Yoda's unrivalled amount of experience would also give him a huge advantage.

    Anakin more lost because of his Pride. If he had any of Vaders mental capacity in the Sequels , Anakin would have gone through Obi one easily. It was known Anakin was the stronger warrior of Obi one and Anakin btw. Anakin defeated Dooku who drew with Yoda. Dooku was one of the absolute best duelist in the 25 thousand year Jedi history. He was Better as a Sith.
    Anakin didn't really feel the same way about Yoda as obi one. It's possible Anakin could beat Yoda. At least draw. Strong Possiblity.
    Now Obi One vs Sidious. Up in the air as well. Only cause he's so lucky. lol

      There is no way that Anakin would have won or draw. Yoda was more powerful, wiser, and better at dueling then Anakin. If you review the fights, Yoda was on the verge of beating Count Dooku. Count Dooku had to make a quick getaway, he saw Anakin and Obi-wan on the ground and took advantage of that weakness. Then he ran off.
      If you go back to the fight with Mace and Sidious, Anakin could not follow their lightsabers. Then if you watch the fight of Yoda and Sidious, Yoda disarmed Sidious and then proceeded to beat him in the force struggle. Go watch the movies again and/or read the books. Yoda won the duel and force struggle against Sidious.
      Yoda would have easily beaten Anakin.
