I asked for when he specifically avoided lightsaber confrontation, you illiterate cow.

and you are going to ignore your garbage comment about Sidious dropping his lightsaber on purpose?

He avoided lightsaber confrontation when he started throwing pods at him, and wen Yoda jumped to attack him on the pod. Yoda>Sidious

Is this a strict lightsaber confrontation, with no access to offensive Force manipulations?

Prove Yoda disarmed him. From my perspective, i saw him letting go of the saber on purpose, so you can't use your interpretation of the film as canon.

you never saw him let go of the saber at all. Stop lying. That's twice in one thread.

Also, there are two sources that confirm Sidious was disarmed by Yoda.

awwwwww...

shoes is trolling you guys again and youre all just eating it up!

I guarantee it.

I'm not.

Care to tell me?

According to the comic, Yoda disarmed him. And in the movie, it didn't show, but Yoda seemed dominant in the fight. In the lightsaber duel, Sidious was starting to panic due to Yoda being to agile. Then, when Yoda jumped onto the same pod as him, he immmedetlly blasted his saber away before they could fight. Then Yoda absorbed his lightniong, shot it back at him and Sidious and him were blasted back and Yoda had a harder fall since his tiny mass. And if you say anything about a novel, it isn't as good of a source as the movie since it is based of the movie.

I always perceived Yoda and Sidious as evenly matched when it comes to force powers, neither could overcome the other. Also the last scene from their fight made me think that they are indeed equals in force department. Yet when it comes to sabers, I'd give the edge to Mater Yoda.

Those are your interpretations of the film, and are therefore not classified as G-canon any more and are invalid.

No U! 😛 Luckily for me my interpretation does not stand in opposition to G-canon, so there 💃

Sidious purposely dropped his saber in order to blast him.

Also this is fought in the G. arena, meaning if Sidious can get into the stands, Yoda will take it up the ass.

More claims that Shoes can't back up and only uses his own conjecture.. then when called on that and asked for proof... goes you're on ignore.. LOL

Is this a joke? When did Sidious voluntarily let go of his lightsaber and why would he? He could put it back on his belt/wherever he puts it. If Sidious did indeed voluntarily let go of his lightsaber during his duel with Yoda, then he's much stupider than I thought.

He let go, I assure you.

He didn't have time to put it on his belt.

He let go in order to demonstrate to Yoda how feeble his force power was compared to his own.

Give me one source that says he dropped his saber.And Yoda's powers were not"feeble" compared to Sidious. They were equally matched on even ground, if anything Yoda was more powerful.Sidious seemed scared as Yoda shot lightning back at him

That argument will not do. The official databank, the Ultimate Visual Guide, the New Essential Chronology, the Essential Atlas, and the Complete Visual Dictionary -- all licensed Star Wars products -- all either state or suggest that Palpatine was greater than Yoda in terms of Force strength and capability.

Janus attempted to use the whole "Sidious looks afraid" line before, without much success. The fact that Sidious did seem afraid or shocked is not indicative of inferiority; moments before that, Yoda was forcibly disarmed by the Emperor's Force lightning and not only struggled with the bolts, but was in obvious pain from holding them. The novelization's internal narrative (line-edited by Lucas himself) has Yoda musing how he lost the fight before it began; Palpatine was simply too powerful.

That Yoda held his own and had favorable moments does not mean that he's more powerful than the Emperor; we saw Yoda knocked unconscious, disarmed, and forced to retreat by the Emperor at various points.

That said, Yoda would likely win the lightsaber duel; he is, according to the Clone Wars Character Guide, a master of all lightsaber forms and has kept in practice, whereas the Emperor has not.

Which only proves how ridiculously skilled Palpatine was. To be able to hold his own against the blademaster without any practice for over a decade is rather impressive.

...Now put Palps in a forum setting where he can use his 'blur-esque' speed more, and his odds vs. Yoda could (and likely would) increase considerably. Imho.

Hm, while I do see them as near-equals where lightsaber combat is concerned, it's hard for me to imagine Yoda being able to overcome the speed Palpatine brings to the table. Remember, in their last encounter Palpatine wasn't really able to apply his speed edge much at all (or at least in the same manner he did against Mace and his team) because they were battling within the confines of a tiny Senate pod -- yet he still appeared to be every bit Yoda's equal.

Palpatine is faster than Yoda?
