PadsterPwns Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Pretty much what the title says, I've been wondering how powerful a prime Yoda would be ever since I saw the quote "Impressive! While size matters not, only five I can lift since I past 700" in The Jedi Path. This quote refers to the telekinesis exercise of lifting the Muntuur Stones whilst in deep meditation. When I read this it suddenly popped into my head that if a post-prime Yoda managed to survive his confrontation with RotS Sidious, and some sources picture post-prime Yoda stalemating him, how would prime Yoda fare?

Better Yoda wasn't just only post prime, but also weakened in RotS: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=842136 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorlarn Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Prime Yoda would have basically been (book) Starkiller minus the Force Lightning (which he did know how to do, he was just scared of it's Dark Side connection). Sidious would have lasted about as long as the Jedi that went after him. A more interesting fight would have been prime Yoda versus prime Windu.

Well Yoda more or less had him beaten in the movie. I mean sure i he lost the fight but that was because he fell off edge while sidious barely managed to hold on.

PadsterPwns Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Better I knew at least one person would say that Yoda wasn't just only post prime, but also weakened in RotS: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=842136 Wait, a post-prime, weakened Yoda managed to stalemate/survive against RotS Sidious, who had already become the most powerful Sith in galactic history? That's probably the best dueling feat in the mythos, maybe bar Windu vs Sids, Sids vs B team and DE Luke vs DE Palpatine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlrikFassbauer Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 In the very last Clone Wars Season, Yoda *did* actually beat Sidious ! - But that was a very special , almost "dream-like" sequence ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabethchase Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 As much as we might like to think Yoda was simply unlucky against Sidious in the Senate, Yoda knew he couldn't return and beat him another day. He didn't move to Dagobah because he slipped, he moved because he knew he couldn't beat him. As to prime Yoda, we really have no evidence. I'm not sure there's much cannon material at all anymore about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know Yoda lost (as per film and RotS novelisation) but I was just curious to see what people though about prime Yoda vs RotS Palpatine, as we know that past 700 he couldn't lift all 6 stones hinting towards slight degradation of his alter abilities and we also know that in the years before the Prequels his speed decreased a little. Also keep in mind that if Zoltans' thread in right, Yoda was post-prime and weakened but still survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keep in mind that if Zoltans' thread in right, Yoda was post-prime and weakened but still survived. That book is now legends material. It doesn't matter what it says anymore. The yoda you are thinking of doesn't exist anymore so we don't know how many "stones he could lift after age 700". If you check out this page, it shows a yellow legends stamp that lets you know if the book in question is legends or not. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Jedi_Path:_A_Manual_for_Students_of_the_Force_(real-life_book) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
