How Yoda SAVED Obi-Wan During His Duel with Darth Sidious (Brilliant) - Star Wars Explained

[@Gor85]

This makes perfect sense. Yoda bought Obi-Wan enough time. Sidious sensed Yoda. That changed things. Jedi lost millenia ago. Sith changed. Galaxy changed. This was very smart of Yoda. I didn't know this. May the Force be with you too. Have a great day :)

[@jamest1242r]

This makes so much sense. He distracted him but with two purposes and that was trying to kill him and distract him from Darth Vader and Kenobi

[@aboutface102]

Man I love revenge of the sith. What a flawed yet perfect film at the same time

[@Mantin0375]

It all sounded good until the Yoda part. The emperor seemed like he underestimated Yoda as well, he was pretty shook after Yoda’s force push plastered him into the opposing wall in the ridiculously big office he had.

[@frankdees507]

Yea, though even after Yodas push, Sidious still smiled and told Yoda he wouldn’t stop him, much less win the battle.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

The why and how are the same. Palpatine/Siddius suffers from the true weakness of the Sith…..Arrogance. He is belief that he knew all and could make no mistakes. Something that leads to his Death.

[@timwhite5562]

I've always found it a mistake that Palpatine just kind of zapped Yoda with the force lightening instead of just unloading on him like he did with Windu.

[@crazytrain03]

But he did unload on him though. When they were fighting on the platform, Yoda was disarmed of his saber by lightening, then Sidious unloaded on him so hard, he was yelling from the strain...then Yoda started absorbing it faster than he could shoot it out, and Yoda blew both of them of the platform. It caught Sidious off guard enough, his whole expression changed on his face...from "You about to get burnt lil man" to "Oh crap I have messed up".

Palpatine learned that day that only a fool of a Sith or Dark Jedi would ever sleep on Obi Wan. But he should have known as Obi was the one who defeated his first apprentice AND killed General Grievous. Sith arrogance is always one of the greatest Jedi weapons. He never hunted down Yoda out of arrogance - and Yoda ended up training Luke who turned Vader back to the light side and destroyed Palpatine. Luke's rise which was the resurgence of the light side, and Palpatine's arrogance, nullified his ability to see into the future.

Palpatine also laughed when he saw Anakin laying there burning and all cut up. He laughed inside and thought to himself wow, obi wan is a bad man what a sith he would have made. He always thought obi wan to be lucky killing maul and general grievous. That day he found respect for obi wan and realized just how much he underestimated obi wan. He couldn't believe a Jedi like obi wan would just leave someone crippled ,maimed, and broken along with suffering and pain. Then just walk away and let the lava slowly take his life. That's when he thought wow what a cruel sith he would have made. He actually thought of fantasy's of if not count dukko he could have had obi wan as a apprentice and then turned Anakin to the dark side much easier.. my brother told me the story from a book he read. That day he had more respect for obi wan and made it a point to not underestimate the will power of someone. The underdog so to speak .

Brilliant long-term planning if you think about it. Yoda insists that Obi-Wan takes on Anakin and Yoda fights Siddious at the same time. Obi-Wan wins leaving the now fully turned Anakin into Vader so that in the distant future he would throw Siddious down a long shaft ultimately leading to the beginning of the end of the Sith. That is if you look at it from a certain point of view.

[@eatmorenachos]

I've always wondered why Yoda and Obi-Wan split up, rather than both of them taking on the Emperor, then going after Darth Vader together.

[@frankdees507]

They thought even together they would both die, after learning he’d beaten four masters at once, let alone two. They decided split up, one may survive to train another light side user. The novel breaks it down into detail

[@ericokonkwo7771]

Imagine if Anakin and Sidious fought Obi-Wan and Yoda as a 2 on 2 fight/battle, interesting plot twist!

[@KaunPrime]

Yoda and Obi Wan wouldve been killed. Yoda distinctly knew that, and that's why he made the plan to fight them separately. Sidious would've used Obi Wan against Yoda's good nature to protect people. That would've gotten Yoda killed, and then Obi Wan would be fighting Anakin and Palpatine without help.

[@timian210]

That could go either really good or REALLY bad... More likely bad because its more true to Sidious's character to take out or distract Obi Wan to leave Yoda alone with himself and Anakin.
Or (probably not) Yoda pulls a slick one an takes out Anakin an then him an Obi Wan take out Sidious

[@jamesbeer9886]

I think yoda could have beaten sideous. Two reason why yoda ran was because he was old and out of stamina but as was sideous.. 2nd reason was that yoda could not stay for long because most likely 1,000 troops were on there way that yoda could sense. Other wise yoda probably would have given his life to kill sideous and let the few remaining jedi masters regain control to restart.

I'm surprised Sidious didn't try and clone Anakin in hopes of eventually creating a strandcast that had as many midiclorians as Anakin did before Mustafar.

Why would he do that? His ultimate goal after Mustafar was his own immortality, he didn't need rivals. Un-burnt Anakin would have the potential to become a literal force god. Sidious didn't need a rival that powerful.

[@ThePlayahatas10]

Definitely brings attention to an underseen saving grace. Palpatine clearly dominated the actual war and coup of the jedi and made them a nearly extinct group. But Yoda and obi did come away with secret victories. Obi won their fight and severely diminished the destructive potential of anakin as a sith though he did play his part before in knowingly setting anakin on the dark path. Yoda did not win his fight, but he did assist in obi winning and him and obi going into exile end up being key later

[@shadeofshattered3]

Sideous never gave obi wan a thought took out darth maul destroyed grievous survived order 66 he takes no chances I'm surprised he didn't take him out personally

[@KaunPrime]

After Anakin was mutilated by Obi Wan, he became very wary of Obi Wan, unsure of how he overcame Anakin so overwhelmingly. Even though he began taunting Anakin about it to push him further, Sidious was always skeptical if he had to fight Obi Wan in a lightsaber battle.

Sounds like a ret-con to me. A clever way to explain sparse creative writing in the movie. I like this better. But the odds for success in this reasoning is far fetched. I’m not sure Yoda, in his wisdom, would have planned out something that had so little chances of everything falling into place. It really seems like he was acting in the moment.

[@zephirol4638]

idk I always seen this as just one of the first of many difficult tasks he set for Vader. Sidious has always treated his apprentices this way looking at it if they don't live up to his expectations, they don't deserve their position. I feel he just thought if vader truly is what he believed him to be, he could overcome the situation. And the only reason he was rescued was because of his will to live after the fact. Had the situation broken him mentally, I doubt Sidious would have wasted his time to try and rehabilitate him.
I think this situation is more of a coincidence due to the vale on the darkside being lifted.

[@marcoslaureano5562]

It was his hatred that fed his will for revenge and in turn, his will to live.

[@zephirol4638]

@@marcoslaureano5562 I get that. But had he been destroyed mentally such as with Darth maul after obi wan cut him in half. I don't think he would have done the same as he originally did for Vader. At least not to the point of keeping him as a true apprentice. He may have used him as a weapon until he out served his use. Such as he intended for the various people Tyrannous kept. (assaj etc.) and even Tyrannus himself after he fully set his eyes on anakin.

Darth Sidious knew Aniken was in trouble, he also knew that Anakin needed to face O Be and NOT YODA.
YODA WOULD HAVE ENDED ANAKIN
But being that O be, was so close to Aniken he knew he would not end him...
Remember, O Be, said it himself at the temple.
He didn't want to do it...
IF YODA did it? There would have been a second battle, between him and the Dark Sixth Lord.
Palpatien would have been ended too. Because of Ani's demise YODA's power would have been greatly increased, made far stronger than than the Dark Lord, and given the ability to see well past the SHROUD of the Dark Side....

Had Anakin died from Yoda’s saber on Mustafar then Sidious can easily replace him (Jedi captives later turned Inquisitors)
Most likely it’s Yoda and Obi Wan’s decision not to kill Anakin but rather decrease his midichlorian count by amputation, enough to nerf him to be on stalemate against Sidious, as neither can duel each other to continue the rule of two with Sidious being too old and Vader being a nerfed half machine

[@covagotnext8337]

[@nicholasgrover2993]

if Yoda had Sidious on level ground he would of been delt with fast, and obi-wan I feel was not going full ham on Darth Vader the first fight you can see that on the second fight before he found out it was Anakin he let the emotions take over. if Obi-Wan would of dark would of been dead next to the ship.

Despite how effective it was as is, the Rule of Two is flawed, for the fact that the master wouldn't tell all as they wouldn't want to die yet. Whatvthey all should have done is have a miniature holocron implant in their bady cavity that has the sole purpose of directing the apprentice to the masters holocron and other darkside artifact stashes and darkside nexus's locations. That way when they die, hopefully that holocron could he obtained from the corpse.

[@bruno-fc1fz]

yoda knew he could defeat him. he didn't bend the force to his will, he let the force flow through himself and be one with it. the rock the tree its all around you. yodas ability to access the force so quickly was his greatest attribute. he says to Luke only a fullytrained jedi withthe force as his Alia can defeat darth sidious. the movie didnt show it but yoda disarmed darth sidious of his lightsaber, showing he was the better Duelist... thats why sidious was way up high throw stuff at yoda he was didarmed of his lightsaber..

[@ayezoop884]

Sidious didnt much care if Vader lived. He just needed Vader to kill all the jedi at the jedi temple, and the Separatist on Mustafar, after that Sidious had no reason to keep him around other than to be the puppet face of the Empire.

[@BlazeMaster]

To be honest I never considered this angle of Yoda's duel, in fact defeating Anakin would be a huge set back for the Emperror, it always puzzled me why Yoda being smart as he was ever went with such a stupid plan of action and always believed it was the result of Yoda succumbing to his own emotions and wanting revenge, never thought it was a calculated move to distract Sidious, would also explain why he leaves abruptly and escapes, Yoda never believed he could defeat Sidious but he wanted to have a crack at him anyways on the other point he was Sidiouoses little green friend and had learned most of his personality flaws, meaning he understood that if he just came waltzing into his Senate office, Palpatine would not be able to resist the temptation to try and kill him or at least that's what he believed Sidious would do, though it's quite obvious Sidious would instead quite generously "rent a room" for Yoda on Exagol.

Windu used Vaapad and beat that ass. He beat him in both lightsaber combat AND used his Sith lightning against him. It was a pound for pound checkmate on all accounts. Also, Anakin didn't cut off his hand because he was turned against the Jedi, as evidenced by the fact that until the very last moment he was trying to reason with Mace that Palpatine should stand trial, which was the Jedi way. He did it because Windu said F that and Anakin panicked because he needed him alive.

I mean Obi-Wan just witnessed all those cruel things and the betrayel of his best friend ! in my mind there is no way you are unfased by all of this and beat the one person who was closest to you and betrayed everything you stood for and still be in tune with the force so much to beat the chosen one !

[@mrmacura3421]

Well, the ability to blend out all those feelings was exactly what the Jedi trained their whole life for. Remember: "There is no emotion, there is peace". In that fight Obi-Wan let go of his attachment to Anakin and all other emotions and through that allowed himself to become a tool of the will of the force itself - in other words he managed to step as deeply as possible into the light side of the force. And that's why he won.
