Maybe, but I wasn't on google or youtube; I was on here. And clicked the "Official in-game thread" for the trailer. So frick me for the OP not putting a link to it in the fist post...clearly it was silly of me to think it would be in here, right?

---

Can't people with your powers just edit it in? I agree OP needs to edit with link.

What do you base that assumption on? The duel? Yoda was at a disadvantage once the fight spilled into the senate chamber.

Yoda was indeed powerful, perhaps the most powerful Jedi alive other than Anakin. But Yoda himself realized once he started fighting Sidious that he was not as powerful as him.

wrong - Yoda was powerful, but Windu had more power then him - his particular ability in the force was to be able to absorb dark side power, like the force lightning, and dissipate it harmlessly - which is why he was not being affected by Palpatine's attack in ep 3.

it wasn't until Anakin cut off his hands that left him vulnerable.

Wrong. Windu was the best swordsman in the Jedi order but it was widely accepted by them all, including Windu that Yoda was the wisest and most powerful of them all.

ROTS, Novel re: Yoda vs. Plpatine

"There came a turning point in the clash of the light against the dark.
It did not come from a flash of lightning or slash of energy blade, though there were these in plenty; it did not come from a flying kick or a surgically precise punch, though these were traded, too.
It came as the battle shifted from the holding office to the great Chancellor's Podium; it came as the hydraulic lift beneath the Podium raised it on its tower of durasteel a hundred meters and more, so that it became a laserpoint of battle flaring at the focus of the vast emptiness of the Senate Arena; it came as the Force and the podium's controls ripped delegation pods free of the curving walls and made of them hammers, battering rams, catapult stones crashing and crushing against each other in a rolling thunder-roar that echoed the Senate's cheers for the galaxy's new Emperor.
It came when the avatar of light resolved into the lineage of the Jedi; when the lineage of the Jedi refined into one single Jedi.
It came when Yoda found himself alone against the dark.
In that lightning-speared tornado of feet and fists and blades and bashing machines, his vision finally pierced the darkness that had clouded the Force.
Finally, he saw the truth.
This truth: that he, the avatar of light, Supreme Master of the Jedi Order, the fiercest, most implacable, most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known...
just--
didn't--
have it.
He'd never had it. He had lost before he started.
He had lost before he was born.
The Sith had changed. The Sith had grown, had adapted, had invested a thousand years' intensive study into every aspect of not only the Force but Jedi lore itself, in preparation for exactly this day. The Sith had remade themselves.
They had become new.
While the Jedi--
The Jedi had spent that same millennium training to refight the last war.
The new Sith could not be destroyed with a lightsaber; they could not be burned away by any torch of the Force. The brighter the light, the darker their shadow. How could one win a war against the dark, when the war itself had become the dark's own weapon?
He knew, at that instant, that this insight held the hope of the galaxy. But if he fell here, that hope would die with him.
Hmmm, Yoda thought. A problem this is ..."

you've complained about every trailer, every released still from the movie and every bit of leaked info

No I haven't. I'm just pointing out that the feel of the trailer is formulaic in a non-Star Wars way. The first 10 seconds of it kind of reminds me of Ex Machina, which is odd, since this movie has a lot of the same actors.

Guys, downvote if you think Blue boy has been complaining in every thread on this movie. Upvote if he has valid points and has not been bitching in every thread.

Yoda was a powerful teacher, who instructed other great Jedi like Kit Fisto, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi, Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi and finally, on Dagobah, Luke Skywalker.

Best combat Jedi with Lightsaber - Mace Windu and Yoda know all 7 techniques, so....?

No problem. In fact, they both realized during the battle that they stood to lose. Retreating isn't a sign of being a coward with these two, it's strategy

Very good point. This is especially true of Sidious.

Nothing will stand in our way.




I will finish...





...what you started.
