He was holding a lightsaber.You answered your own question.
😆 😆 Nice. But it was a rhetorical question Lightsnake.
There's a bit of a dispute amongst sources; some say that Vader used the Force to deflect the lasers, and others say that his gauntlets (which, I believe, belonged to Kaan) deflected them.
Gauntlets? Vader has Cyborg hands not gauntlets. Plus Jacen did it in Betrayal so it is a Force technique.
And Yoda is fully capable of reaching Bane's head. It's called 'jumping'...or 'tripping your opponent.
If Dooku ( a lesser) can handle it then so can Bane. Bane has beaten superior opponants (Kas'im) and was the best dualist in his academy. Plus these attacks wouldn't be as powerful as normal attacks as they rely solely on momentum.
And lifting a large temple with the Force with no visible effort. .
Prove it, quote it and elaborate in the words of Sylar.

Bane has other attacks than just lightning. Revan knew lots, including:
force choke, force drain, life drain, force terror etc and she would have taught these to Bane.
Bane also has force disintegrate (as shown by Zannah) and force blast (took out a whole temple). He also pulled a whole Moon out of orbit. Yoda hasn't done anything even close to that except struggle to pull a starfighter out of some mud.
Also, I agree that Bane would have trouble with Yoda because of his unfamiliar style, but I sill think that Bane's too well protected and too aggressive. If Dooku can do it then so can the suped-up Bane. 😈

What terrible logic. How was Bane going to block it if he's already using lightning thus using one of his hands and holding a lightsaber.
And he was taken by surprise. And the bubble was only about 2 metres big meaning that it rebounded too fast to block.Bane's a smart guy. I'm sure he'd adapt. And his height is as much an advantage as a disadvantage. Yoda can't reach anything vital.
Everyone speaks of Yoda's Force Mastery but it is rarely seen. Give me some examples.
Well lets see he ripped CIS cargo ships from the sky and made them his biatches. He was the Grand Master of the Order. He made Count Dooku run with his tail between his legs, and he redirected the arguably most powerful Sith Lord in existance's Force Lightning with his bare hands. Oh and you say Yoda can't reach anything vital then how did he decapitate two clone troops at once in a single swing. Come on now "size matters not." Yoda=Sids>>Bane.
Oh and Yoda pulled the Starfighter out with one hand so I don't see how he "struggled" plus Yoda wasn't even in his prime here
It only rose by about a metre and it took ages. Bane could of chucked it over his shoulder like a poodle.

If this was in space then I refuse to be impressed. Its not hard to propel something without any drag. All it would take would be one small push. In space things are weightless

Arguably being the key word.

I meant easily. And neither of those two were saber prodigy's.

😱 😱 😆 😆 😂 😂

Originally posted by Darth Exodusit doesnt take him any effort to jump, so yea, its easy for him..

Is there another one?
they were in the atmostphere of coruscant
Very well, then all I can say is that Yoda himself said that "Size matters not to the Force".
yea, if by arguably you mean officially
Please don't steer the arguement down that road.

Its pretty obvious that it would be much harder to fight someone in the air, when you can't change direction or stop. Also, since Yoda has to jump to even hurt Bane then he would not be able to swing very hard as his strikes would rely on pure momentum.

Originally posted by Darth Exodusgood point....except for the fact that yoda, even in midair, is able to block and even push back people stronger than himself without breaking a sweat...dooku was at peek physical strength and yoda was pushing him back..iow he uses to force to argument his own strength..also, yoda could easily change direction in midair..i mean, if he can throw CIS transporters like toys then he could push himself through the air..also, at one point in the dooku vs yoda fight, yoda did change direction in midair, so your arguement fails..

Oh well. Yoda is just the most powerful Jedi that existed up to that point in history. You'd like to call that weak? Some easy math for you: Sidious is the most powerful Sith Lord in Bane's order (which means Sidious > Bane). Yet even Sidious was clearly not able to beat Yoda (saber wise and force wise) despite of the fact that he fought him out of superior positions two times. How the hell do you think that Bane can do the job? Because he's less powerful than Sidious who wasn't able to do it? Convincing line of thought there. Logic surrenders.

That negates the fact that Yoda moved really huge objects with telekinesis how exactly? Oh right. It doesn't. Another lesson for you, this time physics: If I can "produce" enough energy to lift an entire temple up or push several million tons of metal away - what will happen if I use the very same power (kinetic energy) on a human being?
Yoda reached a stalemate with a guy more powerful than Bane. He made one of the most powerful force users and best duellist the Jedi Order has ever produced run twice (Dooku) and obviously scared him to such a degree, that Dooku develops thoughts about Yoda going Dark Side and wiping the floor with Sidious ass with the power of the Dark Side, just to develop into a thread to every single living being in the Galaxy.
Bane did what? Own a bunch of people that are children and weaklings in comparison to the little Jedi? Congratulations. That qualifies him as potential "Yoda-Killer" how exactly? Not? Yoda will own him in terms of a force fight.
Its pretty obvious that it would be much harder to fight someone in the air, when you can't change direction or stop. Also, since Yoda has to jump to even hurt Bane then he would not be able to swing very hard as his strikes would rely on pure momentum.
Wow!
Wait a second. Does the term "the force" ring a bell? Yoda, after all, still is a Jedi. He is very well able to change the direction of his movements mid-air or to simply "stop" them if he likes. Mace Windu in "Shatterpoints" even calls that a "basic" ability (when altering the direction of a force push Kar Vastor is using against him). So much for that nonsense.
And another lesson in SW reality regarding Yoda's strength. If you watch the duel between him and Dooku in AotC you will realize that Dooku is using both hands to parry some of Yodas blows. The same Dooku that effortlessly parries a combined strike of Anakin and Obi-Wan one-handed (as he does with Anakin's furious attacks just before he loses in RotS). So obviously Yoda is quite able to hammer some nice strikes on an opponents lightsaber if needed.
Last lesson - this time "logic". Dude. A lightsaber cuts through virtually everything, even if casually moved. So how the hell does the "strength" behind the strikes matter with the exception of the fact that a harder strike might be harder to parry? Right: It doesn't. And if you talk about the difficulties that Yoda might have fighting Bane - vice versa? Yoda is fast enough to avoid the strikes of three master swordsman (among them Depa Billaba) without even holding a weapon in his hand (Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter). He's capable of running circles around Sidious who is fast and precise enough with a lightsaber to have his blade run so close and fast around Maul's body that a constant blur was seen and a muscle twitch of Maul would have resulted in losing a limp.
YAY. Bane would absolutely defeat Yoda in a lightsaber fight - if we ignore the fact that he's most likely not able to hit Yoda, that the Jedi Master has a 800 year training advantage over Bane with the lightsaber and the stuff that Yoda has shown us in terms of lightsaber combat. So if we completely ignore any information we have, we might reach your conclusion. In "reality"? Yoda destroys Bane. End of story.
