Yoda has achieved mastery of all forms of lightsaber combat, though Form IV (Ataru) is his preferred choice, since it enables him to overcome the limitations of his height and reach. He is an exceptional swordsman, displaying amazing speed and dexterity, leaping through the air and twirling as he batters at an opponent's defenses. Yoda is a great contributor to the highest level of Jedi strategy, and is also a worldly diplomat comparable to Windu. Master Yoda can dissipate and deflect Force Lightning, telekinetically lift enormous objects, including an X-wing starfighter, and use Force Push to an untold degree. Yoda is even able to use Battle Meditation to win battles by lifting the morale of thousands of companions while simultaneously dampering the spirits of thousands of his opponents. He can purge dark side manifestations through the use of Force Light and feel the deaths of individual people and can identify them. These skills, in particular, show a far more profound knowledge of the Force than most Jedi Masters or Sith Lords possess.
Yoda is small, weak and rather fragile, so to compensate he uses force enhanced acrobatic flips during a lightsaber fight, very deadly, very efficient. He possesses trans-super human reflexes that are superior to all other Jedi's, Yoda also has virtually unlimited stamina, he can achieve 20 to 30 consecutive flips in under five minutes during a lightsaber fight to no strain on his body what-so-ever.
Yoda was the single most powerful Jedi, Yoda's ability to repel force lighting was exclusive, he had such a knowledge of the Light Side of the Force that he was not just the only Jedi capable of repelling force lightning with his bare hands, but he could repel it no matter how powerful the Sith who wielded it was.
Here Yoda lifts a massive pillar after his duel with Count Dooku, the pillar had the bulk of a Sequoia Tree's trunk.

Yoda was the only Jedi to survive a direct Clone Attack in Order 66;
Yoda's power did not just surmount to armies of droids, but to THE highly trained 501st clones as well;
Yoda was more powerful than any Sith, as well, even Darth Sidious. Of course Darth Sidious won their first and final confrontation, but the most powerful person isn't always the one that wins. Darth Sidious did not win the lightsaber duel. It is in fact blatantly hinted that Yoda was the victor in their duel. Before George Lucas cut to the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel, Yoda and Darth Sidious were fighting on the Emperor's Podium, when they cut back, Yoda had his lightsaber ignited and Darth Sidious didn't have a lightsaber at all. I say this in passage, he didn't have it because he did not use a lightsaber for the entirety of the films from that point on, it was either abandoned or destroyed in his duel with Yoda.
Yoda's ability to repel force lightning made Darth Sidious' favorite force technique completely obsolete. It was only the recoil of the indefinite repulsion of such powerful force lightning that launched him off the Senate Pod, and destroyed his chances of defeating the newly crowned Emperor.
Yoda moves an T65 X-Wing Star Fighter, with all of it's fuel, dense armored plates and large size, it was more massive than a Semi-Truck, plus the resistance of the swamp floor;
Is this really the right forum for this character?
P.S: Yoda is awesome.

I've asked Digi as to whether or not Star War's threads are allowed in this forum before because I wanted to do one for Vader and they're not(even if you only use the comics for the threads). Just didn't want you to spend a lot of time on something that's likely to be closed...
You know I didn't wake up today and decide that I want to be a douche to someone who didn't even bother me.
Even if they were allowed here, you have yet to post anything that is yoda comic related. Obama and Bush have been in comics too so should we be able to post respect threads here? Vader isn't brought into debates in the comic section. Also I was answering Obsidian not you so you don't have to fight their battle and tell me what I'm allowed to do and not do, so I guess me and Goober are going to get in trouble for saying that it can't be here, nothing left to do but to report it.
It's not that I wouldn't allow Star Wars. It's that they have their own forums. This will be getting moved, but I'll talk to the appropriate mods to try to make sure it doesn't get closed.
Also, it was quite clear by the confrontation that Yoda was not as powerful as the Sith Lord. The Sith lord was weakened by his fight with Mace Windu. He was scarred, and got damaged.
If you can't find it, here is the quote Is Palpatine/Sidious more powerful than even Yoda?
Yes, as the events of Episode 3 proved, Palpatine was probably the most powerful Force user the galaxy had ever seen.
And yes he is more powerful then Vader.

Well at this point we have a sock-created thread with a few video links, and no real hope of the thread being continued. I was going to try to keep this open, but I see far less point now. Closing, especially since I'd really like to avoid debates like the above post is in danger of starting, which don't have a place in this forum.
