EARLY VERSION of Yoda vs Sidious - INSANE!

This would've been imho way cooler than what it actually ended up being, with a few tweaks here and there.

Legends Palpatine would casually destroy them with Lightning, lmao.

Look at the damage done from his force clash with Starkiller.

Between this and the script it looks like Yoda was always the superior combatant in George's mind.

Shame that the version that Lucas actually released shows otherwise.

Sids was a little ***** in this version, I'm happier with the version we got that had them stalemate although some of what was in this fight should've and obviously was meant to be in the final version, like how they got onto the chancellors podium and how Sidious got away from that spot onto the senate pods

Off course, that interpretation no longer holds true due to the various sources afterwards making clear yoda was on the losing end

I'm glad it was deleted. Yoda would never use 2 people as a human shield, even if they were Royal Guards

Some of it was neat, Sidious came off as way too much of a ***** though.

Way cooler. + Holy shit the feats. Sidious' lightning blowing apart the Senate, so many pods thrown. Damn.

Yeah, this has solidified that imo. Yoda disarming Sidious in the final version then force wrecking him in the other one.

The damage he did to Vader would be a better indicator

So are we forgetting about the novel lucas line edited explicitly saying sids was stringer?

No. These INSANE scrapped animatics take priority, like the one where Maul pinned Palps to a wall. 🙁

I don't remember the novel saying Sidious was stronger. More like Yoda just didn't have what it took and the fight was lost before it began e.t.c.

In any case pretty sure the script which Lucas directly wrote himself and far more consistent with the final film (almost identical) is clearer to his vision than a source he edited and is wayyy off the final version.

Well it does seem he revised the script to show them tying, but that doesn't change that side had the edge and was the(/negligibly marginal) as we can derive from the plethora of secondary sources as well as the senior novel/comic saying aids had an edge.

Think he just edged it out at the end personally due to Yoda taking a greater fall.

That happens in every version save the novel which really doesn't get into much detail concerning the moves of the fight

Lol Yoda knocking Palps on his ass with just saber technique.

^ Pretty much all versions seem to put Yoda > Sidious in Sabers at least.

Force and All Out however isn't as clear.

Correction: Two or three versions feature Yoda disarming Sidious, which Lucas and Gillard confirm is a product of the environmental setting rather than Yoda being better. It's a fact that Yoda isn't more skilled.
