Rick McCallum Quote
I'm sure most of you guys already know this, but Producer Rick McCallum says that Sidious is even more powerful than the Jedi, which, of course, includes Yoda:
quote: "Ian is a classical Shakespearean actor; you know, the last thing in the world that he can do, or wants to do, is be a Jedi Master. You know, he is not a Jedi Master, he's got to be even more powerful than the Jedi."

I'm also curious to see how much faith you place in McCallum's (as the producer) words, since you guys generally seem to believe Lucas and Gillard. I assume that there'll be a similar standard of credence or disbelief for this quote.

Pretty much everything. All his rankings contradict with the performances the characters give.

Not seeing it. You'll have to be more specific.

My point is that this means Sidious was always intended by the creators to be more powerful.

They were equals in terms of power in the film. Quit being ridiculous, sunrazer.

No, they aren't. Yoda took Palpatine's best and it ended in a stalemate. Did you forget how Palpatine looked when Yoda went all in during the fl exchange.

Looks don't matter. Quotes from executives and the Star Wars website & guides do.

Facts matter not the opinions of others. You are all over the map all the time depending on who says what and when. Evidence and facts matter not the opinions.

So your opinion doesn't count, but the facts established by sources do. Glad to see we're on the same page.

My opinion is supported by the facts your opinion is supported by an opinion. See the difference ?

It's not an opinion. It's a fact. The way it's worded makes it clear that it's part of Sidious' entire conceptualization as a character, something that the creators would've universally agreed upon.
With that:
quote: "Ian is a classical Shakespearean actor; you know, the last thing in the world that he can do, or wants to do, is be a Jedi Master. You know, he is not a Jedi Master,
he's got to be even more powerful than the Jedi. "
-- https://youtu.be/GjdycGgeaIY?t=281
quote: The end came with astonishing suddenness. The shadow could feel how much it cost the little green freak to bend back his lightnings into the cage of energy that enclosed them both; the creature had reached the limits of his strength .
-- Revenge of the Sith
quote: By restoring Maul’s powers, Talzin hoped to defeat Sidious and become the most powerful being in the galaxy .
-- Databank: Mother Talzin
quote: "Though Yoda is a tough combatant, the Emperor uses his Sith powers to release lightning bolts and hurl floating platforms at his foe. Ultimately the battle proves too much for Yoda , who barely escapes and is whisked away to safety by Senator Bail Organa."
-- Ultimate Star Wars
quote: Yoda confronted Sidious in the heart of the Senate chambers. This erupted into an intense duel between these masters of the Force, a fight that Yoda ultimately lost and was forced to flee.
-- Databank: Yoda
quote: Darth Sidious overwhelmed Master Yoda with the destructive energy of the dark side, and the Jedi Master fled Coruscant.
-- Databank: Darth Sidious
quote: Yoda is eventually outmatched by Sidious.
-- Databank: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Story Gallery
quote: The Jedi Master and the Sith Lord dueled in the Senate chamber, but Sidious was too strong for Yoda to defeat.
-- Databank: Coruscant History Gallery

Nothing in these quotes definitively proves your assertions. I'm sure you don't believe if Talzin won she'd be considered more powerful than Yoda but you've never really been known for your consistency. The battle did prove too much for Yoda but he was never outclassed in terms of power. Quit trying to muck this all up with your silly little quotes. Palpatine was the most powerful guy in the galaxy due to his authority just as Donald Trump is the most powerful. See how this can be interpreted, quote groupie.

I didn't say he was outclassed. I said he was outmatched. And that's a fact.
Also, "quote groupie", lmfao.

Not by means of power by means of Yoda's poor positioning. They are equals in terms of power.
