Originally posted by UtrigitaThe novel never said anything about one of them disarming the other. It did say that Yoda really never had a chance, though...
In the manuscript concerning the battle in Episode Three, iirc Yoda succeeded in disarming Sidious.
"Finally, [Yoda] saw the truth. This truth: that he, the avatar of light, Supreme Master of the Jedi Order - - just didn't have it. He'd never had it. He had lost before he started. He had lost before he was born."
...The the Mace/Palpatine battle, on the other hand, described Mace as the definitive superior.
