Yoda was an idiot in the PT.

"even in the more experienced ones" like YODA...he was too shure of
himself when he wen to fight Sidious. Look at his comments.

Yoda was responsible for turning Anakin by his inaction. He was the lead figure on the council and show have been more proactive. When Anakin came to him with trouble, Yoda should have sensed the problem and fixed it instead of responding with dogmatic nonsense that left Anakin confused.

Yoda pretty much said "Oh...just do this.... Its so easy...I have no problem doing it."

Yoda should have been more concerned...it wasnt that hard to tell that Anakin was unstable. You always need follow-up on therapy.

The stuff that went on in the Republic at that time...

The clone armies were victorious. Dooku was the only known and identified Sith Lord, and the only problem for the Jedi was a tad too long in his position remained Supreme Chancellor.

Suspicions in that time were like saying that the US of A of today could turn into a global empire any second now. Nobody believed that a Republic consisting of thousands of systems could collapse the way it did. Nobody knew it. It was the "phantom menace" come true.

The jedi knew there was another Sith and they were "looking" for him and did a horrible job.

The Supreme chancellor was in power waaaayyy to long. The Empire was formed before it was dubbed so. I think as soon as the sperast movement gained tread, people realized the Republic could collapse, but they didn't realize that their gorvernment wasn't a Republic any more. They were too concentrated on the enemy to realize what was happening under thier noses. Same thing with yoda and the jedi.

...and Sesse, the US has been a global empire for quite a long time now...this is not a recent development.

Yes. There was "another". But not a concrete foe. "There is someone somewhere" just isnt enough information to really do anything about it but to search and wait. If and as they were searching the same dude since Episode 1, they really should have looked a bit closer to themselves...

Yes, Us is an Empire, but its not led by a hooded old man, so there is some room for improvement. 😛

BUT HAM IS NOT A BEVERAGE?!
