also, dooku and mace windu are both old men, not barry-bonds like attackers who could hit yoda out of the park LOL
Canon (as in, irrefutable acceptance) has Yoda, circa 19 BBY as the "greatest foe the Darkness has ever known." He outclasses Dooku, and nearly outclasses Sidious. Star Wars physics and the Force rely on more than old age and size.
Originally posted by MikeMikeTheMikeAye, lad, M'fraid ye can. Physics in Star Wars isn't the same as ours.
Where does it say that he's teh greatest foe? If he outclassed dooku how come dooku got away?But sidious won?
obviously star wars physicz rely on more than age and size, but *scotty voice* ye cannot change the laws of physics!
Yoda's title comes from the RotS novel. Palpatine by merit of defeat of Yoda (and other sources) is the most powerful Sith Lord. Dooku, according to the novel "wasted no time, sprinting away, leaping up the ramp to his sail ship." The movie's cinematic genius 🙄 has dooku pause for dramatic effect.
Yoda also is shown to be able to perform telekinetic feats far exceeding his lifting that falling pillar. Those discrepancies are quietly tucked aside lest they drive us mad.

hmm see when I watch the movies, I see a little green dude barely able to keep his ground.wookiepedia has this information?
He handily defeated Dooku. Not once, but twice. When he faced Dooku on Vjun, Dooku was left fleeing for his life, even with the full power of the darkness enhanced planet behind him.
In Yoda's duel against Sidious, he disarms the Sith Lord, showing superior blade work. Don't forget the line: "If so powerful you are, why leave?"
He then turns Sidious's lightning back on Sidious so that it results in an explosion, gravity(in this case) owns Yoda, since he is thrown back with nothing to hang on to while sidious grabs a hand rail.
For many intents and purposes, Yoda's fight with Sidious is considered almost a stale-mate.
Fine:
