Except by that point Yoda was most likely tired.. and also by that point, Sids was surrounded with guards. Yoda most likely could not fight against squads of Clones and fight Sideous at the same time, and remember he had also lost his lightsaber at that point. He had a window to take Sids out, when he was the least gaurded, and he didn't make the window.

Lot of good fights in ep. 2 and ep. 3.
But the best is still in ep. 6 (Luke vs Vader vs Sidious).
Worst fight is Anakin vs Obi-Wan (Lucas made a MAJOR mistake):
At that point Anakin was far more powerful than Obi-Wan - Even though Obi-Wan knew Anakin well he would only have survived for a few minutes before he would have been wrapped out. (If Obi-Wan should win it should have been before Anakin became powerful). At this moment even Sidious would have problems against Anakin (Young Darth Vader).
Originally posted by Antaeusdid it ever occur to you that maybe Obi Wan knew all of Annie's moves, since he was his master?

like when Dooku owned Obi, remember? Dooku trained Qui Gon, Qui gon trained Obi, so Dooku knew what to expect.

There's so much epic phale in this paragraph I can't describe it.

Yes - and actually I think this is a very stupid argument (sorry to say).
No one know all the moves of another person (master or not) - and even if he did it may be impossible to do something about it (we see that in different sports all the time).
And Anakin knew Obi-Wan as well as Obi-Wan knew Anakin. The most powerful (best figher) would win this fight. Obi-Wan may win if Anakin was just a little bit more powerful. But at this point in the story Anakin was way better than Obi-Wan (he should have no chance at all). Lucas made a MAJOR mistake.

And just because Annie was more powerful doesnt mean he should have won. Obi Wan was older and more experienced, and he was fighting for the survival of the Jedi order. He showed up on Mustafar knowing that there was only one way to save the order, and tha was to kill Annie, and hope that Yoda killed Palpy.
By knowing this, he was able to defend himself against Annie.
YES, defend himself. Did you notice that Obi Wan is fighting a retreating battle throughout most of the duel? up until the end? It was all he could do to deflect Annie's blows and counterattack with his own. Why was he able to deflect Annie's blows, BECAUSE HE KNEW ANNIE AND KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN ANNIE ATTACKED. He trained Annie and knew Annie's strengths and weaknesses, he knew most likely where and when Annie would attack.
Knowledge is INDEED power.
