ROTS anakin vs siddious

Brilliant point Gideon.

However, he does tell Yoda he's been looking forward to this. Why does he say that if he's going to run? that never made much sense to me, unless he changed his mind about Yoda after his initial attack failed.

(and why does Yoda just stand there and take it? I mean, he knows enough about the dark side to expect force lightning don't ya think? Sidous puts his hands out, pauses for a second, and THEN hits him with the force.)

And finally, why are we talking about Sidious and Yoda, when this thread is Anakin vs Sidious? Is it cause Anakin couldn't take sidious in a thousand years?

Okay Darth Hord, I now understand your point. Thanks everyone for clearing that up.

he could in Saber combat.

But the whole point is, they both use the force for light saber dueling. Ataru is not about being really athletic, its about using the force, so are you saying if Anakin and Sidious both were cut off from the force completely, that Anakin would win? Or is it just they aren't allowed to use force attacks? I don't think you can discuss saber fighting without the force, they would both be lousy saber duelist if they weren't able to use the force to coordinate their attacks.
