Jedi Master Yoda vs. ROTS Anakin

Yeah Anakin is a nice bully for him, but he isn't more powerful then Sidious... Otherwise Sidious wouldn't make him his apprentice, he would have killed him long before that and taken another apprentice.

If Anakin was powerful but weaker then Sidious however he would be a perfect apprentice.

Okay, Anakin, IS more powerful than Sidious. RM and GL have already confirmed this. Sidious chooses him because he knows no one can stand up to Anakin with the darkside. But he wasn't counting on Obi-Wan and his ninja skills.

And Anakin is weaker because he's young, impulsive and blinded by his love. Sidious exploits all of this.

And yes, Sidious would choose someone who was more powerful, or potentially more powerful because part of the Sith belief is the strong must rule. I guess Sidious figures if he's going down, he'd rather it be a Sith than a Jedi.

Of course, but he also knows Anakin can't beat him at least not yet because even though Anakin has more potential he isn't more powerful yet.

Thats what i am saying, Sidious could have killed Anakin easily. And he had he couldn't do so with Yoda.

Yoda could kill Anakin as well, not because Anakin is weaker but because he isn't as skilled. He doesn't have a real chance because he lacks experience

Meh, atleast anakin would have to lose a leg or another arm in the battle since yoda can do the flippy tricks. Yoda can even jump while in the air.

I think Anakin can as well, just wait

I think Yoda would win, mostly because he's vastly more experienced than Anakin. I mean, we're talking hundreds of years in difference here. I don't see Anakin dropping Sidious (in an actual fight, mind, no shafts involved) while Yoda was at least able to keep up.

Well being skilled is usually better than being gifted. But one thing no one is addressing is the fact Yoda is also old. Being old means your body doesn't work as well and Yoda wouldn't be as powerful as he was at around say 300-500 years old.
Anakin, is in his prime, and he had more power than anyone and that's a huge factor in why he would win.

And yes, Obi-Wan beats Anakin, but Obi-Wan is also in his prime as well. I read an article a while back (I'll find the link ASAP) about how Obi-Wan(ROTS) could likely defeat Yoda.

Nefarus, I don't think you read the question properly. It's Yoda in his prime vs. ROTS Anakin.

Yoda may have had a more capable body when he was 300 years old, but his knowlege in the force was less and his skills were less. I think that a Jedi is always at their prime regardless of their physical condiction(to a degree). Yoda was at his prime. He would slaughter Anakin

Anakin was stronger then Yoda in ROTJ... He would waste Yoda there, primarily because Yoda was as close to dying as you could come without actually dying

ROTJ yoda is dead

Not when Luke returns to Yoda, Anakin can defeat Yoda then

lol
i can defeat yoda then

You can't win, Kun. If you strike him down, he shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

meh......who gives a ****........
*ignites his purple saber* *slices yoda in half*

Yoda is fierce. All those who don't have cortosis weave shin plates will suffer his diminutive wrath!

i won't

At no time during Anakin's life is he ever as strong as Yoda, pre or post lava. Being the chosen one doesn't imply power. It ONLY means that he is the one that takes out the Sith lord, nothing more. It DOES NOT mean he is the strongest. Yoda is more experienced, more powerful, and better with a lightsaber. No contest, Yoda b1tch slaps Anakin easy.

BTW: Yoda's fighting style is one that ignores his age or decrepid body. He uses a form that utilizes the force to overcome his obvious bodily short comings. Age has little to do with it. yoda at 800 could destroy Anakin at any age and time.

When the people who built the star wars universe, and decide how good someone is in battle, I'll stick with what they said.
GL has said Anakin is the best, watch the dvd commentaries man.

I say that Yoda when he is 500 would easily waste Anakin, but even at 800, he would stilll win. He has more experience than anyone in the last 4000 years, has studied the force for over 800 years, and under excellent masters. He was around when some jedi who would have remembered Bane and Kaan and those sith wars were still around. Actually, I have a theory that Yoda himself may have even met Bane. Before you think I'm an idiot, think about it. We know that jedi/sith can live for hundreds of years (Yoda living to over 900 years). So say Bane was 50 on Ruusan, 100 or so years later Yoda comes along, bane would be 150, he could still be living. By the time Yoda becomes a jedi knight, say at the age of 24, Bane would be old, but could still be living at the age of 174. I can find no real proof for this anywhere, but its possible, and personally I think it is plausible. The only evidence I can find is in Dark Rondevouz (if you have other evidence, please tell me), when Yoda mentions that he was tempted greatly by the dark side in his youth and that he faced great trials. I think that meeting Darth Bane in battle would be a great trial, also if Bane tried to convince Yoda to turn dark, that would be great temptation.
Speaking of Dark Rondevouz, Dooku tries to turn Yoda to the dark side, however, he stops trying, not because a fight happens, but because he recieves a force vision of what would happen if Yoda did turn dark, basically it said that the galaxy wouldn't stand a chance, than him (Dooku) and Sidious would fall easily before Yoda. The galaxy could not comprehend the power that a jedi knight of over 800 years could unleash. And that is from Dooku, a person who trained under both Yoda and Sidious, if he says that if Yoda really wanted, he would wipe out Sidious, I believe him.
He also knew force techniques that others can only dream of, watch AotC and his force battle with Dooku again, Dooku shoots lightning at him, Yoda throws it back, and this is then what you need to watch, Dooku facial expressions, he looks about ready to faint when he sees Yoda casually throw the lightning back at him. And he had trained for 10 years under Sidious, you would think that during that time he would have seen Sidious throw lightning back at him if he could, espically during teaching Dooku to throw lightning.

I think that Yoda's clearly superior knowledge and almost equal power, combined with his level-headedness would bring him to a win over Anakin.

ps. I agree with you guys about the chosen one and the prophesy, not thought out and nowhere in it does it say that Anakin is invincible and can beat anyone, even the entire jedi council or Exar Kun and Revan and Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow etc. all combined without even braking a sweat. Foolishness if you ask me.
