Darth Yoda speculation

If Yoda turned to the dark side in TPM and studied Dark Side up until RotS, how powerful would he become do you think

Sidious would still wreck him

allow me to elaborate: each character has a certain Force potential/midichlorian count inside them, utilizing the Dark Side doesn't make that number go up any

Sidious never wrecked him

They are equals in RotS

DE is more powerful but he not wrecks

Yeah, but who said Yoda unlocked his full potential? Dooku in DR says a DS Yoda would make Sidious shit himself iirc.

that implies that the Dark Side is stronger which Yoda directly refutes in ESB

Exactly. I've always felt that Dooku's opinion was wrong on this account and tainted by his own personal biases.

He would be more powerful than RotS Sidious IMO. Not a huge edge but more than if he stayed a jedi.

It would come down to a Force Lightning match, and I think Yoda can pull it off.

Yods wouldn't be anymore powerful, honestly.

No it doesn't imply that. He also says in ESB that the dark side is easier, hence why people get more powerful when they fall to dark side. Because they can progress more easily toward their full potential.

Even if he wouldn't be more powerful, he'd be more willing to use his power in dubious ways, like telepathically dominating people. He could probably just mind control the Senate.

He wouldn't be as good at being bad as Sidious.
