DE Sidious lost to JA Luke and JA Leia. He isn't as uber as you are making him out to be. What else does he have other than transporting Luke across the galaxy. He also made the force storms, but Luke and Leia were able to overpower those and make him lose control of them, destroying the Eclipse. Since Leia did like nothing(since she is still weaker than a weak Jedi Knight even 20 years after DE), Luke must have done most of the work. Yoda is probably at least as good as DE Luke. Therefor, DE guys win, but not by a ton.

Yes. If Exar Kun could pwn Yoda or Mace, so could DE Sidious. He would crush either of them. So let's say if Mace kills DE Luke, by that time, Yoda would be dead - and Mace would be, borrowing Ianus's phrase, "saber-raped".
Just out of curiosity, how is DE Sidious suddenly leagues upon leagues above Yoda in dueling ability? Admittedly, he'd decimate him from a range with Force powers, but at sword-range? I think he's improved enough to take out Yoda in saber-combat, but not enough to 'saber-rape' him. And would he be able to do so before Luke falls to Mace?

Yes, I see that. Just a scary thought that Luke became nearly as good or possibly better than Yoda in a few short years. Totally ridiculous, even.
He isn't, really. Luke at this point is very good, granted. But I highly doubt that he can threaten either of these two Jedi Masters at this point.
Yep. He knew that Palpatine was far too powerful to defeat, so he joined him to learn the source of his power, to defeat him from within. Just like Quinlan Vos did with Dooku. But both of them almost fell to the temptations of the Dark Side, and it took someone very close to bring them back.
Off topic, but I've heard that Vos's "wife", Khaleen, may have given birth to Mara Jade. That would be interesting.
