Who would win? Yoda vs. Palpatine! *use spoiler tags where appropriate*

[Furball]

if yoda and palptaine duelled

[El Sitherino]

in the OT, Palpatine for sure. Yoda has grown weak. in the PT, don't know for sure. In his prime though, I'm sure Yoda coulda kicked anyones ass.

[ZBomber]

Yoda for sure. Palpatine wasn't THAT strong. Vader easily threw him over a ledge while missing an arm. In the OT tho, like Sithy said, Yoda probably wouldn't last long.

yeah but anakin/vader was the chosen one, of course he could throw palpatine over the ledge, it was his destiny.

[Furball]

Ok I will re-phrase.

 

Yoda in his prime and palpatine in his prime, who would win?

 

I think palpatine.

[El Sitherino]

Yoda in his prime.

[Master Jaxu]

Yoda any day of the week i still say yoda

[Prime]

Palpatine.

 

He obviously pwned Yoda. Who lives in a swamp and who is king of the universe?

[idle]

Yoda.

 

You think that if Yoda didn't want to stay in the swamp he would have stayed there? Even at that, where you are staying is irrelevant.

 

He is the greatest Jedi. Of course he is going to kick Palpatines arse.

he's an old little midget frog. He could barely muster the strength to take out dooku. He's getting old man.

Yoda IMHO.

[guybroom]

I'm saying yoda --- never dis kermit. Or his cousins

 

(I like yoda really)

 

Vader easily threw him over a ledge while missing an arm

 

but vader was wearing a rubber suit and palpy was doing lightning. That's why he could pick him up. Otherwise palpatine (I can type the whole name ) is just a little old man. Sure he's the head sith, but without force powers he's small, old and ugly --- very ugly.

 

The only thing that palpy can really do is lightning. Yoda would absorb the lightning and reflect it. Palpy can't do much else (let's check ep3 though

there is the moment in the trailer when i think palpy is holding a lightsaber

)

[pnkparasite]

Yoda in his prime!? Yoda would kick Palpatine's bum!

 

If yoda in his old age did the things he did yoda in his prime couldve done just about anything.

[Evil Dark Jedi]

Yoda for sure. Even in his old age. They were both old anyway. Palpy didnt have a lightsaber at the time of the OT anyway since he didnt use it against Luke. Yoda woulda used his lightsaber or if he didnt have one used Luke's. Cause Luke would have definetely been there.

exactly.

[Revan Solo]

I say Yoda won because if he hadn't, he wouldn't live in Episode IV and V, and VI.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I suspect that the reason Palpy used lightning on Luke was to inflict the most pain, rather than the most damage. Why slice a guy in two when you can slow cook him?

It is if they did duel. Not if they have dueled.

 

I see your point Shok_Tinoktin. Though Luke coulda forced him to use his lightsaber when he was electricuting him.

[Revan Solo]

What are you meaning?

[Darth Straker]

We never saw Palpatine fight with a lightsaber. Most probably will in Ep III.

 

Anyway they are the most powerful Force users. Oh well, "the dark side is a quicker answer" , so Palp wins

What I mean is he coulda pulled his lightsaber to him. Then threw it at palpy. He would have to stop the lightning to stop it. he would of dodged. Luke would have stood up. Got his saber and forced Palatine to use his saber. If he had one.

[Shok_Tinoktin]

If he could pull his saber to himself, he would have. My theory is that the excruciating pain associated with the lightning made him unable to concentrate enough to call on the force.

not to mention electrocution... causes loss of motor function. His moving was caused by the electricity running through him.
