    Rhetorical question, Yoda ran because he got disengaged off the platform. Knowing Palpatine wouldn’t come down to confront himself(just call in the 501st) he had no other option other than to run. As powerful as Yoda is, he couldn’t take on the 501st and Palpatine.

Of course they were failing to understand the sith mentality and were already being reducing in number.

    Yoda clearly outclassed sidious in lightsaber combat but as soon as sidous took to using his force powers and created some distance, he was clearly winning. You can see the difference when they were in close combat that yoda was clearly the superior warrior (yoda took all the full lightning force attack and sidious showed worry at that point). I feel that after yoda fell from the platform, his old age finally caught up to him. Not to mention that sidious has no problems calling his guards to finish the job that he could not. Definitely a different Sith mindset from the old. Another factor that Yoda took into account since he knew that even if he went back to fight sidious he would have to contend with hundreds if not thousands of clones. Yoda was smart to retreat and fight another day.

      What the hell are you talking about? Sidious wasn't clearly winning with force power. Yoda was absorbing his lighting and he threw it back at Sidious! If not for being so high, Yoda would have killed Sidious. As powerful as Sidious was said to be, he was this close from being killed by a Windu betrayed by Anakin and Yoda falling from a high distance from a force lighting blow back. To be honest, Sidious arrogance got the best of him. He should have never faced Windu and Yoda. The two and only two Jedi's who could kill him.

    One thing I also think about this, is that the Jedi completely ignored the political and societal aspects of the Sith’s new power until it was too late. Even if Yoda killed Palpatine, it little mattered. The Republic had become the Empire, and had been transforming for years while the Jedi blindly served it, and never challenging the flaws that would make it so susceptible for the Sith to exploit. It’s why they only needed 2 Sith. Their true power lie not in their individual combat prowess, though that was formidable. The Sith had control of the true axises of power in the galaxy, they didn’t need to beat all the Jedi in combat, they had leveraged the society to do it for them with the creation of the Grand Army and control of the political and financial systems. Liberty had already died to thunderous applause. No lightsaber duel could change that

    At the end of the day, as far as I’m concerned, the class of all the Jedi and Sith was Mace Windu. This he proved in defeating Sidious 1v1 and also reaffirmed by George Lucas saying just that. Sidious’s best tool was his manipulation and deception. This lead Anikan to follow him which was the ONLY reason Sidious escaped with his life vs Windu. In most wars/fights it is typically the individual or army who can outsmart their opponents who win, just as Sidious did.

    Yodas beat chance was to kill the emperor before clones and troops arrived. The two fought to a stale mate on blades. And in the novel, the block of the force lightning is what did yoda in. The block sent the energy equally to both sides. The emperor was larger and could take it easier. While yodas size for the first time hit him badly. The fall, broke several bones and he lost his blade.
    This created doubt. Yoda knew he could win with a sword. But in the force they seemed equal. And in that moment. Doubt came. The suprise was over. Troops would be near. Do i try again, do i retreat. My injuries would slow me down, and if i can't train the new jedi. And obi one loses, then it is all gone. All that knowledge is lost forever. Doubt became fear and he knew the emperor would feed on it. Better to plan for the worse. Even kf they both lost, if vader won. They it would still doom them all. Yoda had to live and that moment he knew it was better to flee than risk it all on a fight he had no advantage in.

      It's not about Yoda being outclassed as an individual fighter, but that Sidious had completely outmaneuvered the Jedi in every way that mattered. Facing Sidious in a head to head duel was how to deal with the Sith of old, but that didn't matter against the new Sith. Sidious's troops were on their way, and more than that, the Republic had already become an Empire. It didn't matter who was the superior fighter, Sidious already beat him in every way that counts, and Yoda knew that, and that's why he had to flee. Staying to fight would've been pointless because none of Yoda's combat prowess would save the galaxy from tyranny.

      @Herora you are actually VERY wrong that fight with Yoda and Palpatine was for the heart of the galaxy. If Sidious would have fallen to Yoda and Anakin lost on Mustafar to Kenobi- no one was going to lead/rule the newly formed empire. If Sidious died he wouldn’t have saved what was left of Vader being burnt to a crisp and their would be no empire. So you are very very wrong. Yoda and Sidious fighting was everything.

      @@skyflores9827 The heart of the galaxy had already been lost long before Yoda and Sidious dueled that’s literally the whole point. The Republic was already a military police state. The Jedi had already been branded traitors and were almost entirely wiped out by this point. The remaining Jedi couldn’t have restored peace, especially since they were branded traitors, and killing the beloved head of state would only made that worse. If Palpatine wasn’t in charge the republic wouldn’t have just gone back to a democracy, and even if they had that democracy had already been severely corrupted, could easily been exploited by some other strongman. Yoda couldn’t have won this with his combat prowess that’s the whole point of the video. No amount of fighting skill would change that because the Sith were playing a completely different game

    Sidious humbled Yoda; and up until then, Yoda had never known humiliation.
    For years, Sidious was right under Yoda’s nose. Essentially laughing at him. And then, order 66. Imagine the fool Yoda found himself to be by allowing the entire Jedi order to be cut down by his own clone army. Not to mention that it was a slave army to begin with, and Jedi are supposedly morally upright.
    So then Yoda arrogantly thinks, he’ll just go handle Sidious; and Sidious hands him his arse.
    Yea, Yoda got up outta there. Totally disgraced and utterly humiliated. Thinking to himself…well, a coward DOES survive.

    Palpatine outclassed and was more powerful than the green toad. Had Yoda continued in the fight he would have been destroyed. That is the reason the toad tells Bail that he has failed. He could not beat the Emperor, and had the story been more truthful, both Luke and Vader would have been destroyed by the Emperor. ROTJ allowed a small rag tag group of rebels to defeat an entire
    " Legion of my best troops". It was not realistic. How did so many rebels make it down to the moon. The shuttle they stole has a maximum number of people that can fit into the holds of that class of Shuttle, not to mention the fact that the shields were only lowered a brief time so that the shuttle could pass through.

    By falling down to the ground (not speaking about damage that could be sustained to the elderly body of the grandmaster) Yoda lost a momentum and in the hearth of the newly formed Palpatin empire he would probably not get another chance for killing blow. I would argue that this fight if Yoda went for it and somehow proven victorious would be crucial however for the future and could nip the whole Sith Empire at the beggining even at the cost of his life (however Empire could continue under some different probasbly better leadership). But then again I thing Yoda knew it too and put that into consideration and came into conclusion he simply can´t do it in the time before 501 would arrive.

    Yoda commented dark side was not stronger just faster. Quite a statement from a 900 year old being that fled Sidious and put his hopes in adult nearly untrained Luke and Leía.
    SW simply makes little sense. There may be an army of writers trying to make sense of it in retrospect but that's hard if both original and trilogy and follow up simply are happy to pay the price of being incoherent for action fan service.

    My personal theory is that yoda’s race was created by the ancient sith using beast master alchemy. This explains why he couldn’t sense palpitine or maul and as a built in safety couldn’t face a sith in battle and win. My theory also explains why all the known examples are force users and as they were created as shock troops they seem to use the dark side instinctively( grogu in the mandolorian using force choke and showing beast mastery). It shows that being force sensitive doesn’t automatically have allegiance in the force or that one can only be aligned with one side ( yodas dark side manifestation on the planet of the whills says today doesn’t play with it ANYMORE, indicating that at some point he did), which I think also explained why his species’ homeworld is never known( they don’t really have one).

    If you watch the scene carefully and or read the novelization Yoda was in fact the more powerful of the two, but knew that even beating Palpatine right then would not have ended the Sith. The Sith had ingrained themselves into the government of the Republic as well as the military not just on a galactic scale but on the level of systems and down to individual planets so that so that in many places it had infected and twisted entire cultures where before the rule of 2 the dark side had little to no influence. Defeating Palpatine at that moment would only give the Sith the advantage of the new Sith Lords being anonymous and able to start the process anew but from a much more advantageous position. Yoda knew that the new Sith of the bane era had to be defeated at their height in both power and influence by giving the people of the Galaxy a choice, having seen the Sith for what they truly are would they choose the easy path of tyranny with order and peace or the more difficult path of freedom and democracy. Defeating the Sith now would require defeating a widespread culture not simply winning a war or killing the two Sith Lords, being alone in this knowledge meant Yoda had to run in order to propagate that knowledge and begin planning for this new war.

    Yoda is responsible why the Jedi lost to the Sith. Darth Bane remade them from conquerors and butchers to schemers, manipulators and masterminds in the shadows. In other words as the video said it, the Sith have evolved. While the Jedi, under Yoda due to his dogmatic perspective held them all back from learning new things which prevented them from growing stronger not only in terms of strength in the FORCE, but also in knowledge and insight that could be found in the Jedi Archives because he thought even though it was true in a sense they might fall to the dark side. That's right, that fear is one of the factors why the Jedi lost. 😔☹️

    Yoda could not continue the fight because the Coruscant Guard was on its way, Yoda could not fight both Sidious and the Clones. If we are referring to ROTS novelisation which is no longer canon and contradicts the movie. It says in the ROTS novel that the force bubble created by Yoda using force absorb against Sidious's force lightning, produced a vision of Palpatine's destruction by training Luke Skywalker, so he chose to disengage and change tactics to end the Sith. Also Yoda was fighting against the prophecy itself. Nevertheless he dueled Sidious (using a lightsaber and the force) to a stalemate, the duel was a draw.
