It's kinda silly to sit here and read some of these comments like... Yoda isn't a great warrior or hardened battle tested foe... It's just so stupid to even suggest such a thing. Yoda, is guilty like many other heroes and badasses in movies.. that are meant to be an example of how you should be and live your life. When you're super saiyan badass.. you just preach humility and try and avoid fighting at all costs. You're suppose to teach others how to lead their lives with all your wisdom and experience. Yoda is no different than all before him who were molded by this hero being a wise pacifist thing in all forums of entertainment. However, that doesn't mean he's nto badass and a great warrior. He just chooses to preach about the folly of war or fighting etc etc.. but that doesn't mean when push comes to shove he isn't the greatest foe the darkness had ever known. That is exactly what he was. Sids couldn't beat him.. Dooku was played with and couldn't beat him. We're talking about some of the best in the mythos here who looked downright inferior to him or slightly inferior to him. You don't pull tha off without being a badass warrior. Just because he's also a symbol of wisdom.. patience.. humility etc etc.. doesn't change his skills in combat.
If AP started preaching about the violence in football or the dangers of being a RB in the NFL.. does that mean he's not one of the best in the NFL? It's simply a stupid line of thinking without taking in the proper context to the character.
