RotS Yoda >>> TPM Yoda?

There are several quotes putting both RotS Windu as a peer of RotS Yoda, and TPM Windu as a peer of TPM Yoda. It seems pretty likely that Mace Windu grows considerably between TPM and RotS - he was still relatively young, mastered vapaad in that timeframe, and is implied in more than one TCW-era book to still be growing in power. Unless if Windu mysteriously stagnates, it seems more likely than not that Yoda would have had to improve as well. This would also explain why Dooku thinks he can defeat Yoda in AotC, and indeed did better than one would expect, yet is terrified of Sidious and never entertains the idea he could win 1-1. Dooku as of TPM is also implied to be within the same general league of Mace and Yoda as a pure duelist.

Given that Windu IIRC said sometime around TPM that Yoda had slowed down a little, it seems possible that the events leading up to RotS inspired Yoda to pick up his game and shake off the rust, and/or that his spiritual journey in TCW really boosted his power.

Yeah, he's vastly more powerful in RotS

bump

Dooku was a peer with Yoda and Mace until his age slowed him down on RotS. The Anakin that defeated Dooku would've given Yoda and Mace a workout in saber combat.

He'd give them more than a workout lol

He'd give Mace at least the fight of his life.

I have pretty huge difficulty to see how after around 200 years of decrease in term of force power Yoda can suddenly grew.

Dooku's confirmed to be stronger in RotS... Anyway this is just garbage. Yoda no doubt improved, but not drastically.

I have my doubts. TPM-era Mace noted that Yoda had become visibly weaker since he'd first met him some years prior, and he was literally on his deathbed 30 years later. I don't think being 13 years older helps his case at all, let alone dramatically. It's not like he was an incredibly active presence in the Clone Wars, anyways.

Yoda had some major emotiona confrontations all the way to his fight with sidious.

Dark Rendevous, his trip with the force priestesses, ect. Given that confrontations lead to growth, he prolly grew, no idea how much tho.
