Indeed, the rule of 2 states that a master and apprentice must confront each other in a duel to see who takes the master's place, but sidious didn't do that, he didn't care as long as he became as powerful as possible, I don't think sidious really respected any of the previous sith masters, I always thought of him as a very selfish person who doesn't really care about the legacy of the sith, he's in this for himself
Palpatine is cunning enough to know that Plagueis is a dangerous and powerful Sith Lord. Much Like Yoda, Plagueis is a top tiered force user. Fools and those with a death wish facing either Yoda and Plagueis alone without a plan is just asking to die a violent death.

„If Yoda would fight me again, I wouldn’t be the emperor anymore.“ - Darth Sidious , Star Wars Comics „Yoda would have defeated Sidious, Sidious just managed to knock Yoda back and escape.“ - George Lucas We see, how Yoda disarms Sidious two times during the fight, and how Sidious falls back, and his forceabilities showed no effect on Yoda. Yoda is just way to powerful for Sidious, and Sidious was clever enough to know that and Kock him away & escape.
Sideous was more powerful than yoda in the force. Yoda was way better with the lightsaber, sideous focused more on his force abilities and political schemes. The novels dive more into this. Sideous defeated 3 of the most powerful jedi in the blink on an eye. The only person capable of defeating the emperor in a duel with absolute certainty was mace windu. His 7th form was kryptonite to the dark side.
Sinister ones Alucard it has been also confirmed that multiple sources confirm that a lot of sith and jedi are more powerful than Sidious, he was just for a short period the strongest sith, where Darth Plagueis was dead and Vader had not enough experience yet. Somewhere around episode 4-5 Darth Vader overpowered Sidious. And as we see, Sidious is chanceless against great Jedi like Windu and Yoda, also confirmed by George Lucas that they both won and are more powerful.
Damn those lines are awesome and I trust them. George Lucas is Star Wars, period. Screw that Disney shit, and if that comic quote is real..well THERE you have it.
"All who gain power are afraid to lose it (even the jedi)" - Palpatine (Opera scene, revenge of the sith) Acording to me that was his fear at the moment. Not facing yoda but losing the power he worked so hard for. It seems to be a fundamental problem not only to the sith but in the real world as well
The problem seems to be life spans. I often wonder if sudokus was to use anakin/like/now maybe Kylo or Rey as people he can possess with his essence. God, if it goes down that road though, JJAbrams better eat his Wheaties, that’s gonna be a hard sell
Palpatine didn't want to stay in the confined space of the Senate office because that would play to Yoda's Form IV lightsaber style advantage. He wanted to get to a more open space.
What what??? Confined spaces don't play to Ataru's advantages, it's the opposite actually. So that's not really an excuse, if anything it makes Palpatine look like a moron for giving Yoda space
In an open space Yoda would have killed him. He got lucky they were floating on Senate seats because it was Yoda who beat his force lightning when they were both sent flying. He got lucky Yoda was closer to the edge and suffered a long fall or Yoda would have killed him. The only reason he had any chance against Yoda was the environment they were in. With no obstacles just those two fighting in an open space I'll bet anything Yoda wins easily.
*Yoda stands up unharmed* Morgan Freeman: it was in this moment that the Dark Lord realized he'd bitten off more than he can chew." Edit: thanks for all the likes guys. It was unexpected, but it ultimately helped push the Sith Grand Plan into completion.
Well Sidious had already won. A duel with Yoda served no purpose when he could send waves of clones at him instead with no risk. Further, a larger arena plays more to his strengths. Finally Sidious himself was a coward at heart. He was fine as long as he was more powerful but when faced with death he wailed to the bitter end.
@@ashc4167 I did, but the fact remains, why rusk yourself when you have endless pawns to throw at your enemy from a position of safety. Your enemy will eventually be overwhelmed or at least exhausted and therefore easier to deal with.

You know what I like about your videos? I like how you get to the point, you don’t try to be overly cute or quippy. If you were a death metal band, you’d be the band Grave. Just meat and potatoes, down to the bone. Thank you for your work.
"For having more fun than you initially realized you would." Sheev Palpatine was such a jolly fellow, always ready with a laugh, and found joy in simple things.
Worst was from AOTC, with Yoda saying "Around the survivors, a perimeter create." It sounded like a line from someone who was making fun of Yoda's syntax.
Sidious knew it was very much possible he could die . And everything he worked for could cone to an end . Just look at his face after Yoda force pushed him . The force of the push scared sidious . Up to that point sidious was never attacked in that manner . And he knew Yoda was his superior in saber combat . He was scared .
Cannon sidoius..is very weak actually extremely weak compared to other with Sith lords. In the EU he was insanely powerful however the EU didn't make too much sense in many cases and big numbers and big attacks were thrown in for enjoyment rather than logical. So ehhh...never liked eu all too much to be honest I liked certain things but most of it I disliked...to me it seems more of a childish written area for shits and giggles with some dark things thrown in to make it edgy and cool to be honest that part actually worked well enough it made it more interesting and fun that way but the rest of it was childish. Then again the cannon isnt that much better either. Its basically comparing to different series almost.
@@yulfine1688 everything in Disney canon is weak and trash, only one who's strong is that SJW bitch rey who with no training is somehow on Grand Master Lukes power level
@@yulfine1688 Sidious is slowly wracking up some impressive feats in canon and still remains the strongest Sith Lord as all the EU stuff is out meaning all those old Sith Lords too. So he is still the strongest Sith in EU and canon. I don't think Disney will ever go back to Sidious force draining the entire population of Byss slowly or creating force storms that can ravage entire worlds.....which is for the best though.
Cylus O'Brady wrong in SW Canon it has been stated multiple times that Darth Vader is the most powerful Sith. And it’s also confirmed that Plagueis, Bane and Snoke (even a full potential Darth Maul) are way more powerful than Sidious(maybe a full experienced Kylo ren too we will see). Star Wars Comics and quotes from George Lucas and the „Visual Dictionary 2017“ confirm that. And in legends, Darth Sidious is for sure very powerful and smart, but not even close to the ancient Sith like Malgus, valkorion, revan, nihilus, Tulak hord, naga sadow etc, even that has been stated in the legends comics. Darth Sidious is far away from being the most powerful Sith-Lord and also a coward. However he is still an amazing character.
This is why I love your videos! Clicked on it thinking I knew that it was because Yoda would beat sidious in a lightsaber duel and he had to make room but learned something new this time, keep up the good work 😄
Sidious is very intelligent and he wasn't stupid to face a Top Tiered Jedi Master like Yoda without a good plan. True that Sidious is known for his cunning and power in the Force and Knowledge of Sith Teachings. So foolishly facing a Top Tiered Jedi Master like Yoda alone is always a bad idea.
Yep, there can be many explanations but this makes the most sense. He is less fearful of Yoda and more fearful that he can be potentially beaten and all his years of hard work can end like that. He had already beaten Yoda and the entire Jedi- it just wasn't in his best interest to duel him at that particular juncture.
@@xThe_Wendigo in the eu I would agree in cannon not so much...and even still I honestly don't think he was all that strong personally but then again I also am not a writer. or as versed as I use to be in the star wars lore.
Eara Soulous I wouldn’t agree. In his duel with Yoda, Yoda did have the upper hand when it came to the lightsaber as it seemed but he was completely overwhelmed when it came to the force in both power and stamina. So if Yoda wasn’t strong enough in the force to compete with Palpatine, who would you say would be?
I think it’s also very telling that the very first thing Yoda said to Palpatine was “I hear a new apprentice you have Emperor. Or should I call you Darth Sidious?” The fact that Yoda has not only survived Order 66 but also learned of the entire plot so quickly is a threat to the Empire’s success
Palpatine: "I'd love to stay and kill you, my little green friend, but, uh, another friend of mine is in trouble, and, uh ... no it isn't because I'm scared or anything. No, no, I just gotta help this friend you see. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!"
I always thought it was because Yoda had the advantage in close range combat while sideous was better in a large open space so he wanted to get out of the confined office space thus he was able to beat Yoda once in the larger chamber. The explanation regarding Vader makes sense and also explains the concern he appeared to show when he found Vader on Mustafa.
I honestly find the explanation that Sidious was concerned for Vader to be a lot more absurd. Sidious was a control-freak, and disliked direct confrontations or being in situations that he was uncertain of. Yoda confronting him in his office really threw him off, so he tried to go somewhere where he'd have the advantage.
He knew the moment Yoda walked into his office that he royally screwed up. He had expected his clone troopers to do the job for him. He did not expect Yoda to have the foresight to prevent his own demise.
His decision to flee all came from yoda throwing him across the room you could see all the surprise shock and fear come in his face as he got back up and decided to run.
i love how when he tries to leave he simply attempts to take a walking step and is actually surprised he was blocked like what did you think would happen
Main issue is Kenobi was the master of the defensive style. And, since he knew what his apprentice was likely to do, but couldnt outright shut Anakin down means he wasn't greatly stronger.
Kenobi is overatted he wins all his fights by sheer luck even the dooku fight where he would had died if anakin wasnt there to save his ass grevious was literally his only fight where he won by just being being better than his opponent
@@Fabian6980 there's a reason why he's regarded as one of the greatest jedi ever and the best duelist in form III. Also, it isn't luck, rather skill and brains. He beat Vader by using his own arrogance against him, after he was able to withstand all his aggressiveness through his mastery of Soresu. In the fight against Dooku, the count himself was afraid of Kenobi, because he had mastered Soresu to such an extent that he was parrying each of Dooku's strikes without ever flinching. Had the lightsaber duel gone on, Dooku knew that not only wouldn't he had been able to break Obi-Wan's defence, but he also would've had to struggle against Anakin's aggressive form losing eventually. Which is why he forced Kenobi out of the duel by breaking his force barrier. Some even speculate it was Palpatine himself who broke that barrier, to get rid of Obi-Wan and have Anakin fight Dooku solo. Another good example happened during the clone wars, where he was able to handle both Savage and Maul at the same time and get them to run away. Despite having his back against the wall, he was able to break free through wit and strategy, and gravely injure Savage. And 'there's no such thing as luck, only the force'. Can't remember who said this though.
I think sidious wanted an audience or assistance with yoda because he knew he probably wasn’t going to beat him in a lightsaber fight. That’s why Mas left the room I believe. To get backup as Yoda probably killed all of the guards on his way to sidious. And maybe even tampered with communications
Why did Yoda stop after force throwing Sheev? He could have taken the advantage, used the force to pick him up again and slam him to death, ending the Empire in its infancy.
His Force power bar was greatly diminished by that move alone. He had to recharge before he could throw more things around like the pods in the conference theater, which take much less power to throw.
Destination: tonsils cuz none of the movies would have existed bruh. Why didn’t mace Windu immediately kill Sidious after disarming him? Same shit bro.
@@fullsendcirca9255 mace didn't kill sidious after disarming him because he was going to arrest him, then after sidious uses the lightning he decides to end sidious
I love the novelised Sidious best of them all. Don't misunderstand I love Ian McDiarmid's performance but it breaks my heart that so many of the great moments in the novel were skimmed down in the final movie script. I would have loved to have seen him given some of those moments. Hopefully he gets some black humour moments in the Rise of Skywalker, the likes of which we've seen not only in this novel but even more recent ones like The Lords of Sith xx
@@KrushKrills I do thank you very much. But given that they both released around the same time Matthew Stover must have been writing the novelisation before/during filming - obviously from the same script but before scenes were cut/cropped. Besides the novel also has the luxury of expanding on how characters are feeling & thinking. So I hope that adequately explains my comment for you xx
If Sids was afraid for Vader why then was he sitting down all relaxed in his chair as Yoda came in, Sids should have already been in the process of leaving, as Yoda entered . Unless of course Sids felt afraid for Vader's life at the exact moment Yoda entered his office , hard to believe . Btw, Yoda disarmed Sid of his lightsaber , look carefully when the fighting in the Senate chamber first started , Sids was without his saber, Yoda still had his.
From what I've heard he was actually trying to find a better place to fight Yoda so if he needed to he could escape if the battle with Yoda went south. He actually was about the only Force user that COULD actually match Yoda in a strait up fight.
I think that Sidious ran to save Vader, but I still think he always feared confronting Yoda. In fact, he was at his moment of triumph and he wouldn't want to loose to the little green grandmaster.
To give the illusion of him being afraid, giving Yoda a false sense of confidence. He could do it to give himself an edge or simply to enjoy being able to trick Yoda's thoughts (revelling in being "smarter" than someone who is supposed to be so wise). Maybe both. He could fear for Vader like you said as well. Makes sense as well.
To me it felt like sidious wasn’t fleeing to avoid the fight so much as he sought to move the fight to a better location for him. It could also be his fear for Vader’s safety
mace never beat him, he threw that fight because he felt anakin. He was pretending to be helpless and dying. Once anakin turned to the point of no return, he said what? "Unlimited Powerrrrr"!! and killed him.
@Albert Twangle no just bad writers. Thats why star wars fan reactions are their movies is getting worse and worse. I wasn't the only one that felt the movie went that way. Lucas has also been putting stuff out that has cause upsets on his own creations lol. Star Wars is going down hill kid.
Additionally I believe Sidious tried to gain the advantage in terrain. In terms of technique Yoda's abilities and speed helps him gain advantage in enclosed areas like we saw against Dooku in Episode 2. By moving to a more open area, Sidios gave himself a bigger advantage that he needed to win.
Another reason given was that in an open space, Yoda would be harder to fight due to the acrobatic form IV. by moving to his personal office where he fought Windu, Yodas style would be limited to to the area being more enclosed.
Palps taking a pratfall over his desk and office chair made me laugh when I saw it in the cinema. It was a strange bit in the middle of a serious confrontation.
Sidious was legitmately scared of Yoda. In the novel, he tries to distance himself from Yoda by using the Chancellor's podium, but it was too slow and Yoda was able to re-engage him (and actually disarmed Sidious, proving that Yoda is the greater duelist).
@Star Wars Reading Club, In what you notice to the accumulation of knowledge from the other sources, I can say that it is just part of it. Remember when Mace windu was about to strike down Darth Sidious, it has far more reaching effect that even the emperor is still suffering until his final death in Dark Empire comics. It was explained by George Lucas that Palpatine forced himself too far using dark side of the force, when he was almost killed by Mace Windu. It's effect is so menacing that Palpatine cannot completely control the dark side without destroying his body. That's why we have secret clone project of the emperor so that he can tranfer his conciousness to a new body until he was able to create a body suitable to the Emperor growing power in the Dark Side. It was explain by George Lucas, that when Darth Sidious killed Mace Windu, the Emperor dam for his Dark side of the force burst, leaving him with a uncontrollable fast growing power. Especially now he has Darth Vader as an apprentice which make his power grow faster more. That's why at the time when he is about to duel Yoda, he is far more injured and are only able to hold his power from damaging his body, as it is a crucial moment in the life of the emperor as he need to consolidate his new found power. It is at that time that Yoda knew from the force that he needs to do a confrontation with the Emperor or lose the only chance to have a chance in the future. Yoda also wanted to kill Darth Sidious if he has the oppurtunity. Hence the "The New Hope" title of Star Wars first film. Which really 100% tie the knot of the whole 6 movies.
Star Wars reading club thank you for an amazing Star Wars material and interesting information even if some people can sit at trivial I'm enjoying everything you add to this channel thank you again this is highly enjoyable despite what anyone else would say ignore the detractors you done a very good job and this is entertaining and fun👍😋
Sidious attempted to flee because after he was force pushed by Yoda he had a moment of clarity where he realized just how powerful the Grand Master was. His attempt retreat was more of a tactical decision. Yoda is not only a master, but THE master of Ataru, the most acrobatic of all lightsaber forms, which would make a duel in the office setting dangerous for Sidious. This is why he retreated to the Senate chamber in order to create a larger gap between himself and Yoda. Yoda is most dangerous when he is close to his opponent and Sidious knew he was the superior for user, so he kept his distance and relied on using his command of the force to destroy Yoda. He also wouldn't jeopardize his control of the galaxy with a duel with Yoda, because he knew he has already won and he has everything to lose when dueling Yoda even though he has awaited and wanted to duel Yoda for a very long time.
I always interpreted it as after that Force push, Sideous wanted absolutely nothing to do with Yoda and wasn’t going to gamble his entire plan and victory on a fight to the death with an extremely pissed off Yoda. He had also just had his ass kicked in his own office by Mace Windu.
Sidious ran away only bc his son Skywalker was in danger. And when Yoda got in his way he lured the Jedi Grandmaster to the senate chamber, a position in which Yoda was at a disadvantage.
Maybe you’ve covered it before, but what about the question of whether Palpatine was really at Mace Windu’s mercy or if it was an act to manipulate Anakin?
I partly agree with this analysis as I do see that part of the reason that Sidious would want to flee would be to help rescue Anakin, but you can see by the look on Sidious's face after getting Force thrown across the room that fear and worry definitely had to be part of the equation as he was just as surprised that Yoda survived order 66 and this alone told him that he might well have underestimated Yoda. Also in the novel, the two red rubbed guards weren't knocked out by Yodas Force push, they were knocked out by Yoda deflecting the first volley of lightning from Sidious, which Yoda simply made the same slashing gesture in the air and the lightning bolts parted like two streams of water and slammed into the two red robed guards, knocking them into the wall and shocking them into unconsciousness. It was the second volley that caught Yoda off guard for some reason and caught him, who then got up, brushed it off and sent Sidious flying across his office to the obvious shock and surprise of Sidious! So there can be NO DOUBT that Sidious realizes that he may have seriously underestimated Yodas power and the light side of the Force and that confronting a Master with far more experience and Yodas obvious powers is likely a very bad idea and that fear and worry over Yodas skill was definitely a significant factor in his attempting to flee.
@@Deft0nee no bud, think back. When he did that he was faking for Anakin to gave into that last moment of no return. He felt his approach as any jedi or sith does. He drove anakin to fight the jedi by faking his weakness. Pull it up in another video and you'll see. He faking. He even laughs and yells at mace while killing him and says "unlimited power" then persist to stand on his own 2 feet like nothing ever happened....
sidious knew he was no match for yoda. He decided to throw stuff at yoda when he realized he couldnt win in the duel. Great videos thou!!! star wars forever!!
Me Before watching the video and only reading the title: it's called choosing the field of battle to give you a strategic advantage. After watching: oh Ya! That makes more sense.
I'm guessing sidious was so surprised Yoda survived order 66 that sidious felt he underestimated the Jedi master, he had just achieved his goal of becoming the emperor and establishing the empire he reacted by running not because he was a afraid but because it was just an impulse, everything was going according to plan, except he didn't plan to face Yoda or any Jedi as he was sure most Jedi were dead or running for their lives across the Galaxy, the first sign of the emperor's overconfident nature, he usually planned for all possible outcomes, but facing a powerful Jedi master after a sure far victory was not one of them...
I don't know about everyone else, but I would be terrified to be attacked by a creature so small quickly jumping and tumbling around with a weapon like that.
I always thought the sidious was the lesser of the 3 between him, Yoda, and windu in regards to lightsaber dueling. I figured he was the best of the 3 for force ability however
Yoda is a Jedi Councillor he's not an expert with the light saber despite what people believe rather he's talented in the ways of the force. For example Qui-Gon Jinn was a Jedi Councillor like Yoda when he fought against Darth Maul Obi Wan Kenobi being a Jedi Guardian knew that his master wasn't as skilled with a light saber as he was and knowing this when Qui-Gon Jinn was alone fighting Darth Maul he feared that his master would be killed. The color of a Jedi's light saber reveals to their opponent what type of Jedi they are a Jedi Guardian excels at the light saber while a Jedi Councillor excels as force users. A Sith on the other hand conceals this information from their opponent because their light saber is only one color red.
80% certain I read somewhere that Yoda was an unrivaled duelist at this time in the galaxy. Sidious knew this and didn't want to get into a lightsaber fight with him. Even in the senate room when Yoda lunged at him, he shot Yoda's saber out of his hand preferring a force fight instead.
Sidious had EVERYTHING to lose, and Yoda now had nothing to lose.
Pretty much. Which means yoda will go all out
Didnt they fought in Clone wars in mind battle, and wasnt Sidius again on defense.

In an open space Yoda would have killed him. He got lucky they were floating on Senate seats because it was Yoda who beat his force lightning when they were both sent flying. He got lucky Yoda was closer to the edge and suffered a long fall or Yoda would have killed him. The only reason he had any chance against Yoda was the environment they were in. With no obstacles just those two fighting in an open space I'll bet anything Yoda wins easily.
I love seeing Yoda casually force pushing and knocking out the guards at the door 😂
Stella the Locksmith no he was waving at them saying hi but then they passed out because there were guarding 20 hours straight without no sleep 😂
Yet when Kylo and Rey fought the guards in TLJ, they barely made it. Weak little kids compared to Yoda.

Well Sidious had already won. A duel with Yoda served no purpose when he could send waves of clones at him instead with no risk.
Further, a larger arena plays more to his strengths.
Finally Sidious himself was a coward at heart. He was fine as long as he was more powerful but when faced with death he wailed to the bitter end.
@David L curry Darth Vader was a chump!!!
The only reason Vader has no force lightning abilities is because he literally has no limbs to emit from.
Grand Moff did you see what Yoda did to the separatist bots? Taking out a Army with 3 clones with him.
@@ashc4167 I did, but the fact remains, why rusk yourself when you have endless pawns to throw at your enemy from a position of safety. Your enemy will eventually be overwhelmed or at least exhausted and therefore easier to deal with.
But they fought and he won yoda took off the fight was even but the guy that takes off during a fight automatically loses he even said it himself failed i have yet some idiots will still make false claims that yoda was stronger lol
I left a like for *Having more fun than you initially realized you would*
You know what I like about your videos? I like how you get to the point, you don’t try to be overly cute or quippy. If you were a death metal band, you’d be the band Grave. Just meat and potatoes, down to the bone. Thank you for your work.
"For having more fun than you initially realized you would."
Sheev Palpatine was such a jolly fellow, always ready with a laugh, and found joy in simple things.
Yes, murdering a rival religion, how very entertaining. Gives me a good chuckle knowing those fucking kids are dead
@@JamesJJSMilton they come from the same religion technically. Just different sects
I swear, some of the RotS novelization dialogue is so hilarious.
It is a really good book though.
@@EchthelionII best novelization by far
Worst was from AOTC, with Yoda saying "Around the survivors, a perimeter create." It sounded like a line from someone who was making fun of Yoda's syntax.
@@JanPeverell Of a movie, yes.
@@mangrove That line is pretty bad.
Yoda is a midget that jumps across the entire planet at light speed I wouldn't want to fight him either😂
What's crazy is he uses the force to help him move like that. Notice how he normally walks with a cane and shit.
Sidious has the same style lol
@@Rizzatouille i think the cane is a fake to make people underestimate Yoda
@Jason Mullings true but its shown 10 fold with yoda
Especially not in a closet but he has room to maneuver and you do not
Yoda with the infinity gauntlet.
Sith: ah. Well.....we're f***ed
I thought the Emperor was running to a place where he had an advantage over Yoda.
His office was too cramped for a proper duel.
But Yoda's Ataru is under more disadvantage than Sidious' Juyo in such a narrow space, just like Qui-Gon vs Maul
Sidious knew it was very much possible he could die . And everything he worked for could cone to an end . Just look at his face after Yoda force pushed him . The force of the push scared sidious . Up to that point sidious was never attacked in that manner . And he knew Yoda was his superior in saber combat . He was scared .
Cannon sidoius..is very weak actually extremely weak compared to other with Sith lords. In the EU he was insanely powerful however the EU didn't make too much sense in many cases and big numbers and big attacks were thrown in for enjoyment rather than logical. So ehhh...never liked eu all too much to be honest I liked certain things but most of it I disliked...to me it seems more of a childish written area for shits and giggles with some dark things thrown in to make it edgy and cool to be honest that part actually worked well enough it made it more interesting and fun that way but the rest of it was childish. Then again the cannon isnt that much better either. Its basically comparing to different series almost.
@@yulfine1688 everything in Disney canon is weak and trash, only one who's strong is that SJW bitch rey who with no training is somehow on Grand Master Lukes power level
@@yulfine1688 Sidious is slowly wracking up some impressive feats in canon and still remains the strongest Sith Lord as all the EU stuff is out meaning all those old Sith Lords too. So he is still the strongest Sith in EU and canon. I don't think Disney will ever go back to Sidious force draining the entire population of Byss slowly or creating force storms that can ravage entire worlds.....which is for the best though.
@@Ephideltrance thx..saved my time
Cylus O'Brady wrong in SW Canon it has been stated multiple times that Darth Vader is the most powerful Sith. And it’s also confirmed that Plagueis, Bane and Snoke (even a full potential Darth Maul) are way more powerful than Sidious(maybe a full experienced Kylo ren too we will see). Star Wars Comics and quotes from George Lucas and the „Visual Dictionary 2017“ confirm that. And in legends, Darth Sidious is for sure very powerful and smart, but not even close to the ancient Sith like Malgus, valkorion, revan, nihilus, Tulak hord, naga sadow etc, even that has been stated in the legends comics. Darth Sidious is far away from being the most powerful Sith-Lord and also a coward. However he is still an amazing character.
This is why I love your videos! Clicked on it thinking I knew that it was because Yoda would beat sidious in a lightsaber duel and he had to make room but learned something new this time, keep up the good work 😄
Sidious is very intelligent and he wasn't stupid to face a Top Tiered Jedi Master like Yoda without a good plan. True that Sidious is known for his cunning and power in the Force and Knowledge of Sith Teachings. So foolishly facing a Top Tiered Jedi Master like Yoda alone is always a bad idea.
Yep, there can be many explanations but this makes the most sense. He is less fearful of Yoda and more fearful that he can be potentially beaten and all his years of hard work can end like that. He had already beaten Yoda and the entire Jedi- it just wasn't in his best interest to duel him at that particular juncture.
*Just before Obi-Wan shows up
Palpatine to Vader over the telecom: "You are in danger."
Vader: "How could I be in dang..., why do I hear boss music?"
I love Yoda throwing the guards against the wall one of my favourite scenes in the Star Wars movies. Just makes me laugh every time.
zio returns i took my mom of all people to watch this movie lol.. but even she laughed when yoda did that.
Darth Sidious sensed that Yoda was close to evolve to ToYoda and did not want him to evolve when they fight.
Because he knew Yoda was probably the only Jedi strong enough to kill him.
Mace windu was more than a match anakin was and many others probably were. Sidious himself while strong isnt anything special in canon....
Eara Soulous Those you named were possibly able to defeat Palpatine in a lightsaber duel. However he was unmatched in the force.
@@xThe_Wendigo in the eu I would agree in cannon not so much...and even still I honestly don't think he was all that strong personally but then again I also am not a writer. or as versed as I use to be in the star wars lore.
Eara Soulous I wouldn’t agree. In his duel with Yoda, Yoda did have the upper hand when it came to the lightsaber as it seemed but he was completely overwhelmed when it came to the force in both power and stamina. So if Yoda wasn’t strong enough in the force to compete with Palpatine, who would you say would be?
I think it’s also very telling that the very first thing Yoda said to Palpatine was “I hear a new apprentice you have Emperor. Or should I call you Darth Sidious?”
The fact that Yoda has not only survived Order 66 but also learned of the entire plot so quickly is a threat to the Empire’s success
The high ground was the disturbance in the force that Sidious felt.
Yoda is the one that flees, “exile I must go, failed I have”
I'm a huge fan! Keep up the great content!
I appreciate the support and can't thank you enough for watching. I hope that you enjoy the upcoming videos as well!
@@starwarsreadingclub Your Videos are very informative,and fun to watch
"if not for meeeee...."
Palpatine: "I'd love to stay and kill you, my little green friend, but, uh, another friend of mine is in trouble, and, uh ... no it isn't because I'm scared or anything. No, no, I just gotta help this friend you see. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!"
I love how Yoda just walked in like nobody’s business 😂😂😂
I always thought it was because Yoda had the advantage in close range combat while sideous was better in a large open space so he wanted to get out of the confined office space thus he was able to beat Yoda once in the larger chamber. The explanation regarding Vader makes sense and also explains the concern he appeared to show when he found Vader on Mustafa.
I honestly find the explanation that Sidious was concerned for Vader to be a lot more absurd. Sidious was a control-freak, and disliked direct confrontations or being in situations that he was uncertain of. Yoda confronting him in his office really threw him off, so he tried to go somewhere where he'd have the advantage.
*Kevin Hart voice* He wasn't readyyyy!!!
No, Stay!
It struck me as more of a strategic retreat to a more open area with lots of things to throw around.
He knew the moment Yoda walked into his office that he royally screwed up. He had expected his clone troopers to do the job for him. He did not expect Yoda to have the foresight to prevent his own demise.
"So, I threw the Senate at him. The whole senate!"
His decision to flee all came from yoda throwing him across the room you could see all the surprise shock and fear come in his face as he got back up and decided to run.
Props on the change in narration style. I enjoyed the amusing tone of the old VOs but this is much more classy.
He found out that he couldn't beat Yoda because Yoda was trained by Star Wars Kid
Awesome video
i love how when he tries to leave he simply attempts to take a walking step and is actually surprised he was blocked like what did you think would happen
Kenobi TRAINED Vader, I can't think of anyone more challenging to defeat than one's own teacher.
Main issue is Kenobi was the master of the defensive style. And, since he knew what his apprentice was likely to do, but couldnt outright shut Anakin down means he wasn't greatly stronger.
yeah, I think that was one of few reasons he was able to stop him.
Kenobi is overatted he wins all his fights by sheer luck even the dooku fight where he would had died if anakin wasnt there to save his ass grevious was literally his only fight where he won by just being being better than his opponent
@@Fabian6980 there's a reason why he's regarded as one of the greatest jedi ever and the best duelist in form III. Also, it isn't luck, rather skill and brains.
He beat Vader by using his own arrogance against him, after he was able to withstand all his aggressiveness through his mastery of Soresu.
In the fight against Dooku, the count himself was afraid of Kenobi, because he had mastered Soresu to such an extent that he was parrying each of Dooku's strikes without ever flinching. Had the lightsaber duel gone on, Dooku knew that not only wouldn't he had been able to break Obi-Wan's defence, but he also would've had to struggle against Anakin's aggressive form losing eventually. Which is why he forced Kenobi out of the duel by breaking his force barrier. Some even speculate it was Palpatine himself who broke that barrier, to get rid of Obi-Wan and have Anakin fight Dooku solo.
Another good example happened during the clone wars, where he was able to handle both Savage and Maul at the same time and get them to run away. Despite having his back against the wall, he was able to break free through wit and strategy, and gravely injure Savage.
And 'there's no such thing as luck, only the force'. Can't remember who said this though.
I think sidious wanted an audience or assistance with yoda because he knew he probably wasn’t going to beat him in a lightsaber fight. That’s why Mas left the room I believe. To get backup as Yoda probably killed all of the guards on his way to sidious. And maybe even tampered with communications
Why did Yoda stop after force throwing Sheev? He could have taken the advantage, used the force to pick him up again and slam him to death, ending the Empire in its infancy.
His Force power bar was greatly diminished by that move alone. He had to recharge before he could throw more things around like the pods in the conference theater, which take much less power to throw.
Destination: tonsils cuz none of the movies would have existed bruh. Why didn’t mace Windu immediately kill Sidious after disarming him? Same shit bro.
Dont know for certain, maybe Sidious didnt have a force barrier up.
@@fullsendcirca9255 mace didn't kill sidious after disarming him because he was going to arrest him, then after sidious uses the lightning he decides to end sidious
@@phantomsidious2934 that's my thoughts too
This was very insightful. Thank you.
I love the novelised Sidious best of them all. Don't misunderstand I love Ian McDiarmid's performance but it breaks my heart that so many of the great moments in the novel were skimmed down in the final movie script. I would have loved to have seen him given some of those moments. Hopefully he gets some black humour moments in the Rise of Skywalker, the likes of which we've seen not only in this novel but even more recent ones like The Lords of Sith xx
you realize the novel is based off the movie, not the other way around..
@@KrushKrills I do thank you very much. But given that they both released around the same time Matthew Stover must have been writing the novelisation before/during filming - obviously from the same script but before scenes were cut/cropped. Besides the novel also has the luxury of expanding on how characters are feeling & thinking. So I hope that adequately explains my comment for you xx
If Sids was afraid for Vader why then was he sitting down all relaxed in his chair as Yoda came in, Sids should have already been in the process of leaving, as Yoda entered .
Unless of course Sids felt afraid for Vader's life at the exact moment Yoda entered his office , hard to believe .
Btw, Yoda disarmed Sid of his lightsaber , look carefully when the fighting in the Senate chamber first started , Sids was without his saber, Yoda still had his.
From what I've heard he was actually trying to find a better place to fight Yoda so if he needed to he could escape if the battle with Yoda went south. He actually was about the only Force user that COULD actually match Yoda in a strait up fight.
I think that Sidious ran to save Vader, but I still think he always feared confronting Yoda. In fact, he was at his moment of triumph and he wouldn't want to loose to the little green grandmaster.
“Ugh, Yoda, what do you need and will it take more than five minutes? I am absolutely swamped in paperwork.”
“If not for meee” funny asl 🔥 new sub
To give the illusion of him being afraid, giving Yoda a false sense of confidence. He could do it to give himself an edge or simply to enjoy being able to trick Yoda's thoughts (revelling in being "smarter" than someone who is supposed to be so wise). Maybe both. He could fear for Vader like you said as well. Makes sense as well.
To me it felt like sidious wasn’t fleeing to avoid the fight so much as he sought to move the fight to a better location for him. It could also be his fear for Vader’s safety
He was beat by mace who was the 2nd best swordsman Yoda being 1 seems kind of obvious why wouldn't want to fight if could be avoided
He forced Anakin's hand.
mace never beat him, he threw that fight because he felt anakin. He was pretending to be helpless and dying. Once anakin turned to the point of no return, he said what? "Unlimited Powerrrrr"!! and killed him.
Accu Bones wrong that’s just a theory, George Lucas confirmed that Mace defeated him because he was more skilled and powerful.
@@abeloth1116 I looked into it and you are aboslutly right. I guess shitty writers tricked me cuz it def looked like that.
@Albert Twangle no just bad writers. Thats why star wars fan reactions are their movies is getting worse and worse. I wasn't the only one that felt the movie went that way. Lucas has also been putting stuff out that has cause upsets on his own creations lol. Star Wars is going down hill kid.
I love that the troll master even trolled sidious into thinking he ruined his plans🤣🤣
Nah i think he just left the oven on😂
Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼
I read this as "Why did Sidious run from yoga?" At first glance
At 4:38, the subtitles refer to Mustafar as Moosa fire. I approve of this.
Additionally I believe Sidious tried to gain the advantage in terrain. In terms of technique Yoda's abilities and speed helps him gain advantage in enclosed areas like we saw against Dooku in Episode 2. By moving to a more open area, Sidios gave himself a bigger advantage that he needed to win.
Another reason given was that in an open space, Yoda would be harder to fight due to the acrobatic form IV. by moving to his personal office where he fought Windu, Yodas style would be limited to to the area being more enclosed.
'If not for meeee..... But for having more fun then you initially thought you would...' LOL
tbh that's one of the better "if not for meeee" video endings
Palps taking a pratfall over his desk and office chair made me laugh when I saw it in the cinema. It was a strange bit in the middle of a serious confrontation.
Sidious was legitmately scared of Yoda. In the novel, he tries to distance himself from Yoda by using the Chancellor's podium, but it was too slow and Yoda was able to re-engage him (and actually disarmed Sidious, proving that Yoda is the greater duelist).
Old Palps was insanely evil, but not stupid. He knew that fighting Yoda was extremely risky.
@Star Wars Reading Club, In what you notice to the accumulation of knowledge from the other sources, I can say that it is just part of it.
Remember when Mace windu was about to strike down Darth Sidious, it has far more reaching effect that even the emperor is still suffering until his final death in Dark Empire comics.
It was explained by George Lucas that Palpatine forced himself too far using dark side of the force, when he was almost killed by Mace Windu. It's effect is so menacing that Palpatine cannot completely control the dark side without destroying his body. That's why we have secret clone project of the emperor so that he can tranfer his conciousness to a new body until he was able to create a body suitable to the Emperor growing power in the Dark Side.
It was explain by George Lucas, that when Darth Sidious killed Mace Windu, the Emperor dam for his Dark side of the force burst, leaving him with a uncontrollable fast growing power. Especially now he has Darth Vader as an apprentice which make his power grow faster more.
That's why at the time when he is about to duel Yoda, he is far more injured and are only able to hold his power from damaging his body, as it is a crucial moment in the life of the emperor as he need to consolidate his new found power. It is at that time that Yoda knew from the force that he needs to do a confrontation with the Emperor or lose the only chance to have a chance in the future. Yoda also wanted to kill Darth Sidious if he has the oppurtunity. Hence the "The New Hope" title of Star Wars first film. Which really 100% tie the knot of the whole 6 movies.
Makes sense
Star Wars reading club thank you for an amazing Star Wars material and interesting information even if some people can sit at trivial I'm enjoying everything you add to this channel thank you again this is highly enjoyable despite what anyone else would say ignore the detractors you done a very good job and this is entertaining and fun👍😋
Makes sense. But still love idea that Sidious was genuinely surprised by Yoda getting up so quick and not being able to stop his force push.
The dark side fuels us off our emotions like rage, fear, passions. He could have just been very in tune with his fear in that moment
Sidious attempted to flee because after he was force pushed by Yoda he had a moment of clarity where he realized just how powerful the Grand Master was. His attempt retreat was more of a tactical decision. Yoda is not only a master, but THE master of Ataru, the most acrobatic of all lightsaber forms, which would make a duel in the office setting dangerous for Sidious. This is why he retreated to the Senate chamber in order to create a larger gap between himself and Yoda. Yoda is most dangerous when he is close to his opponent and Sidious knew he was the superior for user, so he kept his distance and relied on using his command of the force to destroy Yoda. He also wouldn't jeopardize his control of the galaxy with a duel with Yoda, because he knew he has already won and he has everything to lose when dueling Yoda even though he has awaited and wanted to duel Yoda for a very long time.
Clone: My lord, your shuttle is read-----
Palpatine sprints: Then run, bitch. RUN !
I always interpreted it as after that Force push, Sideous wanted absolutely nothing to do with Yoda and wasn’t going to gamble his entire plan and victory on a fight to the death with an extremely pissed off Yoda. He had also just had his ass kicked in his own office by Mace Windu.
Sidious ran away only bc his son Skywalker was in danger. And when Yoda got in his way he lured the Jedi Grandmaster to the senate chamber, a position in which Yoda was at a disadvantage.
Maybe you’ve covered it before, but what about the question of whether Palpatine was really at Mace Windu’s mercy or if it was an act to manipulate Anakin?
I partly agree with this analysis as I do see that part of the reason that Sidious would want to flee would be to help rescue Anakin, but you can see by the look on Sidious's face after getting Force thrown across the room that fear and worry definitely had to be part of the equation as he was just as surprised that Yoda survived order 66 and this alone told him that he might well have underestimated Yoda.
Also in the novel, the two red rubbed guards weren't knocked out by Yodas Force push, they were knocked out by Yoda deflecting the first volley of lightning from Sidious, which Yoda simply made the same slashing gesture in the air and the lightning bolts parted like two streams of water and slammed into the two red robed guards, knocking them into the wall and shocking them into unconsciousness.
It was the second volley that caught Yoda off guard for some reason and caught him, who then got up, brushed it off and sent Sidious flying across his office to the obvious shock and surprise of Sidious!
So there can be NO DOUBT that Sidious realizes that he may have seriously underestimated Yodas power and the light side of the Force and that confronting a Master with far more experience and Yodas obvious powers is likely a very bad idea and that fear and worry over Yodas skill was definitely a significant factor in his attempting to flee.
Yoda: "get these hands he will"
Calm down, this is not WWE
Yoda is like Lomachenko in boxing
I like this explanation, and the legends/novel version much better. The EU stories always seem to be better IMO.
Well I would be hesitant to fight such a small thing
He was laughing hysterically during the fight and seem to be enjoying himself. I don’t think he was scared, I think he sensed Vader’s life in danger.
Possibly
He also lost to mace who was the 2nd strongest Jedi, so facing the number 1 couldn’t have been favorable either.
@@Deft0nee He never lost to mace.
Accu Bones how is him begging Anakin to save him from mace winning?
@@Deft0nee no bud, think back. When he did that he was faking for Anakin to gave into that last moment of no return. He felt his approach as any jedi or sith does. He drove anakin to fight the jedi by faking his weakness. Pull it up in another video and you'll see. He faking. He even laughs and yells at mace while killing him and says "unlimited power" then persist to stand on his own 2 feet like nothing ever happened....
sidious knew he was no match for yoda. He decided to throw stuff at yoda when he realized he couldnt win in the duel. Great videos thou!!! star wars forever!!
Me Before watching the video and only reading the title: it's called choosing the field of battle to give you a strategic advantage.
After watching: oh Ya! That makes more sense.
I'm guessing sidious was so surprised Yoda survived order 66 that sidious felt he underestimated the Jedi master, he had just achieved his goal of becoming the emperor and establishing the empire he reacted by running not because he was a afraid but because it was just an impulse, everything was going according to plan, except he didn't plan to face Yoda or any Jedi as he was sure most Jedi were dead or running for their lives across the Galaxy, the first sign of the emperor's overconfident nature, he usually planned for all possible outcomes, but facing a powerful Jedi master after a sure far victory was not one of them...
Again,I like your interpretation of this question
I don't know about everyone else, but I would be terrified to be attacked by a creature so small quickly jumping and tumbling around with a weapon like that.
Well, the Jedi Grandmaster IS a little green man from space. Maybe Sidious though Yoda was going to probe him.
CocaCola4blood with his lightsaber
Yoda: “If so powerful you are, why leave?”
Palpatine: Because i ain’t tryna yet bitch
I always thought the sidious was the lesser of the 3 between him, Yoda, and windu in regards to lightsaber dueling. I figured he was the best of the 3 for force ability however
Sidious didn't want none of Yoda! Especially those hands! Lol!😂😂
When I was a kid, I thought he was just trying to get closer to Yoda because he was ready to duel.
Nice, I support this theory😅
Yoda is a Jedi Councillor he's not an expert with the light saber despite what people believe rather he's talented in the ways of the force. For example Qui-Gon Jinn was a Jedi Councillor like Yoda when he fought against Darth Maul Obi Wan Kenobi being a Jedi Guardian knew that his master wasn't as skilled with a light saber as he was and knowing this when Qui-Gon Jinn was alone fighting Darth Maul he feared that his master would be killed. The color of a Jedi's light saber reveals to their opponent what type of Jedi they are a Jedi Guardian excels at the light saber while a Jedi Councillor excels as force users. A Sith on the other hand conceals this information from their opponent because their light saber is only one color red.
Sidious didn't want that noise!!! He almost lost. That's why.... Yoda: "9/10 Sidious loses he does. Bitch out; he did."
80% certain I read somewhere that Yoda was an unrivaled duelist at this time in the galaxy. Sidious knew this and didn't want to get into a lightsaber fight with him. Even in the senate room when Yoda lunged at him, he shot Yoda's saber out of his hand preferring a force fight instead.
I can't remember where I read this but I read somewhere that sidious guard was up, and was shaken that Yoda could touch him with the force anyway
