His battle with palpy seemed rather equally matched, so why did he have to flee.???
Do you think he would have won if he stayed and fought. After all, mace beat him one on one.
No the real reson Yoda left makes sense if u watch the scene carefully.After yoda dodges those pods and trows 1 back at sidous he then leaps to where sidous is and his saber is struck by lightning right in the hilt knocking it out and to the floor. When yoda Falls u see his saber on the ground burnt implying its been broken by the direct blast to the hilt rather than the saber. Yoda had no saber to fight him with and no time to get another.

Yoda said he failed because he failed to handle the entire situation for the past number of years well and he let the order stray from its true ideals, and this allowed the Sith to rise.
I think after that fall, the loss of his saber, all of the emotions, him sensing the arrival of troopers at the senate, and the risk that, if HE lost to the Dark Lord, the Sith WOULD rule forever (as there was no way Obi-Wan could take on Sidious himself) is why Yoda gave up. He was letting his emotions and his anger cloud him as well. And if Obi-Wan was the only one left, what are the chances he would be able to train another Jedi any more successfully than Anakin?
