Yoda or Darth Sidious- who was stronger?
- Thread starter Bor Gullet
- Start date
Telekinesis, the "mind trick" aka mind controlling the weak willed, and amplifying their physical abilities like jumping, running, etc...
Also being able to enhance their bodies to move fast and jump
Also the mind trick thing they show that even if you resist they basically torture you with it in the clone wars or at least painfully extract information
Have never understood why more people don't see this, the movie seemed to go out of its way to make it obvious Yoda and Palpatine were evenly matched in Force power. Palp gets scared and tries to run away for crying out loud after Yoda knocks him back across the room over his desk. If Palp and Yoda had been standing on opposite ends of that senate pod Palp would have been the one to take a duel-ending, perilous fall, not Yoda. Has always seemed like a pretty straightforward yet tragic (for Yoda) tactical advantage to me.

Yes. I mean stuff that Yoda could have used against Sheev had they kept fighting.
I'm coming up with nothing, though.
Besides Yoda redirecting or absorbing lighting
It's not like Palpatine was doing anything unique besides using basic force abilities and with lightning
Yes. Dude lost his lightsaber and would have been cut down by his opponent who still had his.
They're both pretty equal imo. Sidious slightly edges out Yoda in force usage, meanwhile Yoda slightly edges out Sidious on Saber battles.
Only reason Yoda lost is the difference in body mass. Sheev is heavy enough the blast didn't knock him down while it sent Yoda flying. The fall looked brutal to the point Yoda probably lacked the energy to even get back up to Sheev. That's why he threw it.
If Sheev was still perfectly fine he would have dropped after Yoda to ensure his demise, instead he just hangs on laughing. If the throw went the reverse way Yoda would have jumped right after Sheev and probably finished him.
Yoda lost because of the laws of physics and being tiny. Very bad luck

I'm interested in who is stronger, Snoke or Palpatine, Snoke's powers seems to be emperor's but more levelled up, pulling Hux and Rey like Rag dolls, and his lighning seems quicker, he also claims to have created a link between Rey and Ren. But he made a crucial mistake with two undertrained force users and a bit witless.
Yoda ran away from Sidious and Obi-Wan failed to finish the job with Anakin.
Then they go into exile for 30 years doing nothing while others take up the good fight against the Empire.
Failures

It's not really a clean 1:1 comparison. Yoda is way past his physical prime in ROTS, but Palpatine just got his body scorched a few hours earlier.
Besides, fights of this nature aren't just one will always beat the other. If you rerun the fight 1,000 times I imagine the 'victor' only wins 60-70% of the time.
