Yoda is not steamrolling someone who raw power is 80% of Palpatine's, and canonically one of the most skilled swordsman to ever live.
Darth Vader isn't 80% of Darth Sidious in official literature. The gap is realistically bigger.

That 80% is a "maybe," a remark made by George Lucas to explain a point. I find it amusing that people have taken it at face-value.Darth Vader isn't 80% of Darth Sidious in official literature. The gap is realistically bigger.
Nah, it wasn't a maybe. It was a direct statement made by the creator of the mythos--- sorry if I take his word over anyone esle, though. Not to mention, nothing actually contradicts it, as far as RAW power is concerned; unless, you mind explaining it to me why it does. I'm open minded - given the discussion - is worth it.

Vader's TK might even be =/> Sidious's.
So whatever Power difference there is between the 2, it's likely all down to Sidious's superior speed/mobility in a Saber match up.
Of course Vader's arguably more even more Powerful than Yoda or Sidious given his Piloting Skills.
He's the no.1 Jedi/Sith in a Space Battle.
You people do know the difference between RAW power, RAW power, in conjucntion with vastly superior mastery of the Force, right? 'Cause that's what makes the gap between Vader and RotJ Sidious"big". Even then, I don't think Palpatine by RotJ, is someone capable of wrecking Vader to the point he'll put up no fight whatsoever. He'll go down, and go down HARD - but not like a some n00b *****, or the members of the Jedi B-team.
Pavan has some nice, showing to be honest - he could me mid-tier and Vader wrecked him casually. And Luke suggested that Vader would have stomped him in the Force, had he not held back his power in CoPL. Sources have identified as Luke as one of the most powerful Jedi the galaxy has every known, at that point in time.
