Why couldn't Yoda defeat Palpatine?

Why couldn't Yoda defeat Palpatine?

Palpatine had unlimited power
Yoda forgot to pay his bill

A good question, for another time.

Because the character was established in movies set after the one in question.

He was a relatively big guy.

Because Sheev had the high ground

because he lost the high ground

Palpatine was born with more Midichlorians

MONSTO CARDO!!!

Was it established in the OT that yoda was that powerful?
I don't think so
He was the master of obi wan and that's it
He shouldn't have been the leader of the council either
It's a shame the rest didn't get any lines
Only Kiadi with the wookies

He got rekt by gravity

Sheev had a better mastery of memes.

>mfw

check my 8 m8 no h8

You can't peeve the Sheev

Because Yoda is more about the force than actually fighting.

Same with Palpatine, who is also extremely strong in the force, even better at manipulating people, and a good fighter.

Palpatine is better than Yoda anyway you put it. He completely out played him. Yoda couldn't even find a way to help Anakin or sense his visions of Padme dying.

because he uses a baby-sized lightsaber

Isn't Sheev stupidly overpowered? He alone was more powerful than every light side Jedi put together wasn't he? Hence why they needed someone to 'bring balance' despite only one Sith left alive?

No, he was just smarter because Dindu was too busy sensing plots to destroy the Jedi and doing fucking nothing about it

why shouldn't he?
he's the consequence of thousands of betrayals to let the strongest one survive
he's the whole goal of the sith
and he was more powerful in the EU with him being able to create force storms and change bodies

Yes. Both Yoda and the Emperor were characters above swordfights and flinging rocks at people. So they got to have swordfights and fling rocks at each other in the prequels.

he tried spinning the stupid thing and throwing it at sheev which was not a good trick. he wasted all his force points.

Did the janitors ever get an explanation from Sheev for why the senate floaty platforms were thrown all over the chamber?

>So they got to have swordfights and fling rocks at each other in the prequels.
because lucas is hack and thought that was wat people wanted

>Bu-but it needs to be established before for it happened!
Bunch of babies.

So is Dindu the most powerful Jedi?

>From Wookipedia:
>When Mer Kathlo, the senior janitor working at the senate asked about the destroyed platforms he got told by Mas Amedda that the first imperial day celebration orgy got a little too wild.
>He demanded to be in the next one as a condition for his silence.

Well one audience got exactly what they wanted...

He was the most powerful warrior I guess

Why didn't Yoda and Obiwon 2v1 Palpatine, then go after Anakin?

Why couldn't palpatine beat Yoda? Cuz there was a part 4 5 6 and many more to come

what makes you think yoda and obi wan would have a different result than mace windu kit fisto agen kolar and saese tin?

Obi Wan and Yoda were important characters, they had plot armor.

DAMN IT

He's right.

Mannequin lost the High Ground to Obi Kenobi.

Yoda was winning until he fell off the high ground and didn't have enough time.

He get his ass handed to him by dindu.
inb4: "it was according to plan!", no it wasn't, fuck off stupid sheevfag

There's no Anakin to backstab you as you prepare to strike him down.

Because stars wars isn't an anime with powerlevels

Because are they were written to be extremely stupid because George Lucas is a hack

sheev was playing

Because yoda was never meant to be the strongest fighter among the jedi.

>mace windu, kit fisto, literally who?, and literally who?

There's your answer

Could Yoda and Window together have beaten Sheev?

Notice during the end Yoda briefly managed to get the better of Sheev by blasting his Force lightning back at him? This was a dangerous forbidden technique based on equivalent exchange, sacrificing a ridiculous amount of physical high ground to briefly gain the narrative high ground.

Basically he briefly overpowered Sheev at the cost of falling a fuckton meters and banging hid head. Whereas Sheev already had plenty of high ground reserves to spare since earlier he secured the political high ground (I AM THE SENATE), so he stayed on the platform while Yoda didn't.

Old as fuck + child-sized +Butter-knife laser sword + fraudulently claiming disability benefits

Why the fuck do you think?

You know, if for some stupid reason there was a scene in ESB where Vader showed up on Dagobah, I bet Vader would have stomped his boot on that green little goblin and fucked him properly up. Yoda is not a warrior. You don't measure his inner strength by his ability to murder people, that's not who he is.

Only if Window let Yoda ride his shoulders, squaring their high ground

because you have yoda for the level ground, and obi-wan for the uneven ground. there is no way you can lose

Holy shit, Sheev knew this, that's why he took the fight into the Senate where there's nothing but uneven ground

This is some devious terrain awareness

FACT: obi-wan has lost every level ground fight he has been in
FACT: Yoda has won every level ground fight
FACT: Obi-wan has won every uneven ground fight
If the two teamed up they would be unstoppable, they were arrogant fools to not realize sheev knew their weaknesses

Haha no

>it was according to plan!"
It was.

There's no reason other than the plot demanded it. He was on equal grounds from a certain point of view the entire fight.

He just kinda gave up, and fucked off to dagobah for literally no reason. I guess he wanted to leave it to the future generations or something, since he was pretty much set to retire the day after all this shit went down.

>Why couldn't Yoda defeat Palpatine?
Because he was a manlet and Palpatine was a 6`2 master race stud

typical Jedi coward scum.

fucking hell, SW nerds!

Underrated.

It wasn't

Sheev didn't plan on almost getting killed nor getting burnt by his own force lightning

He lost before Anakin arrived on the scene

And the in-universe explanation is very simple, Dindu was an expert swordsman, he was the #1 duelist in the Jedi order, equal only to Yoda

Sheev didn't intentionally lose, but he turned a certain defeat into a victory, something that is far more impressive than victory itself. Did he need Anakin to bail him out? Sure. But he still managed to make the most of his situation, more than Dindu accomplished.

Sheev had the element of surprise. If you were going to arrest someone, even a Sith lord, would you really expect them to fucking lunge at you while spinning around in the air? That's why two of them went down in like a second and a half, they were totally unprepared.

Yea but that's different from losing on purpose from the beginning.

What was his weakness in light saber battles?

>Implying he has a weakness
Get real user

4x weakness to ice

5'9" v 6'
kek

Physically, he had the higher ground. However, morally and spiritually, Yoda had the higher ground. They were pretty evenly marched

Yes he plan it

Its canon his face was like that FL doesnt scar you

He knew he was coming

He could have easily knock dindu saber with his FL

he's old and bending down was bad for his back

prequels were.

>If the two teamed up they would be unstoppable

Like pottery.

>kid fister
He deserved better

>If the two teamed up
>Flat ground
>Yoda carrying Obi-Wan because he has vertigo
>Uneven ground
>Obi-Wan carrying Yoda because he has no stabiliser muscles

It would be a disaster, neither would be able to perform at their peak because they're be looking after the other retard who's fighting like Bambi.

So Yoda could say to Luke not to underestimate the power of the Emperor.

Yoda was arrogant, he wasn't expecting Palpatine to be that powerful. Also, there were a ton of clone reinforcements on the way. Yoda couldn't fight them and Palpatine at the same time.

*Sheev, not Palpatine

Sorry, still getting used to the new name given to us from on high by our Disney overlords

The force wanted to destroy the jedi

but spinning is a good trick? Why didn't it work here?
