Fredi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Video games are the worse source of information regarding the SW Universe, a lot of liberties are taken for the sake of gameplay TKA-001 where else? RotJ, while Sideous was focused on trying to kill Luke with Force lighting, Vader was able to pick up 'his nibs' and give him the shaft Hmm that could be a good explanation, Darth Caedus and Lumiya where kill by one Jedi as well but they both sacrificed their lives for another reason.

PoiuyWired Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 And Darth Malak? Darth Traya? They where killed by a Jedi. Malak was defeated by an ex-Sith, aka his master. While Traya is defeated by someone with a weird condition, someone with a bond to her, also adding the fact that she did sacrifice her hand to get her scheme going and lacks the time to get a replacement.

starwind40 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The real question is why Yoda decided to fight Sidious Alone. That is why I think Sidious knew that he could defeat Yoda because of yoda's Arrogance. That was the only part of the movie that I thought was totally ridiculous. Kenobi and Anakin faught Dooku together, so it would make sense with the other opinions on this thread that it may take more than 1 jedi to kill a sith master. Kenobi is as powerful as mace. And would have been a great help. As powerful as Sidious is,why would Yoda risk not having help. So why didn't they both go to kill the emperor and then find vader? but on the other hand George Lucas had to make sure that both the emperor and Vader survive for 4,5,and 6. ah poop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi_christian Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think there are many reasons for Yoda not defeating the Emperor : 1) Yoda was really old a that moment 2) Many Jedi where killed that moment, he had a band with them 3) Yoda gained his ''strength'' from knowledge and wisdom , that doesn't mean he is the most powerful in light saber duels 4) He maid a really big mistake : Arrogance 5) The Emperor was at the top of his power... BTW Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker defeated the emperor because together they were probably the most powerful Jedi-allies in Star Wars history. Darth Vader was more powerful then the emperor or Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anakin was more powerful then yoda, but his lack of experaince would have been his defeat. That is also why Dooku was able to defeat him the first time, and Obi-wan. But I would have to say after Anakin got the Vader suit, he was no longer more powerful then the Emperor until he came back to the Light side in RotJ. That is why he was trying to Convince Luke to join him. only together could the Emperor be defeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Guys your all missing the point... Sidious is probably as old as yoda anyway and you know this because when he is talking about the legend he refers to himself it the apprentices place. Their fore age had nothing to do with it and Yoda's species don’t get weak until they are really old about to pass to the force. But yoda and sidious were just about equal in the Duel. Yoda lost his concentration when sidious was throwing those senate pods at him. That why he wasn’t able to activate his lightsaber to reflect the lightening, instead he had lost his concentration forgetting to do so he had to use the force to defend against the lightening. Sidiuos had never lost his concentration and that is why he won. But maybe all those Jedi getting killed had something to do with Yoda losing his concentration.

gallandro Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yoda (and all the Jedi) underestimated the Sith... and they made a grave error: The Sith evolved; The Jedi did not. The Jedi stayed rigid in their teachings... they did not change in the thousand years since the last time the Sith were around... The Sith, on the other hand, spent the last thousand years studying the force... and studying the Jedi... and changing with the times. Yoda's loss in that battle had nothing to do with power... it had to do with the fact that he (and all Jedi) were completely unprepared for the enemy they faced. This is all explained in the Revenge of the Sith novelization, by the way. A great read (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Te Je'karta Mand'alor Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 some of u guys got it WWAAYY wrong... yoda OVERestimated his enemys. and just because he's old, does'nt make him the best. theres only so much to learn. and plus, he was really old for his species... about 850... they only live to be like 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 but using the force u can become imortal, as the sith said you can even save people from death. Just coz he said "not from a jedi" does not mean he was right, to be honest hes made a few errors in his time including on the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 he was really old for his species... about 850... they only live to be like 800 Really, wheres the evidence of that? Yoda. Yaddle is dead at under 500, well before nature takes it's course. Vandar has no age given, but is killed on Katarr. and the only other known appearance of a member of the unnamed species is in a "Tales" comic, and could quite possibly be a young Yoda anyway.

Te Je'karta Mand'alor Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 they can't become "imortal"... they become "one with the force". like him and kenobi did along with anakin. and adamqd, you've got it right about yaddle, but she did'nt die naturaly... she was killed by a bomb, trying to save a 13 year old anakin from death. also, yoda dos'nt nessisarily have more knolage, because he has'nt even studied half the jedi holocrons...and darth plagues the wise was the only being ever to save people from death.
