Oh god you are terrible.

Yoda did not even close to almost lose to Dooku, he was forced to stop fighting and save Obi-Wan and Anakin while Dooku escaped. There's no chance he's better than Yoda. Mace Windu is a better duelist, but if the Force is called into question, he's nowhere near as good as either Yoda or Sidious.

BTW, Dooku *could* have won while Yoda was distracted by using the force to protect Anakin and Obi-Wan. Dooku could have asily walked over to Yoda while he was concentrating and cleave him in two LOL. Am I wrong? Yoda never even hurt Dooku

Well he said only movie characters, but Revan is probably only under Luke, Malak would probably be under either Yoda or Mace Windu, probably the latter, Bastila may be around Darth Maul's level, and Jolee somewhere around that, I'm not really clear on the difference in their power.

You ARE wrong. You underestimate the Force, which Yoda excels at more than 98% of the Star Wars cast. If Dooku had tried to sucker punch Yoda, he would have deflected it WHILE saving Anakin and Obi-Wan at the same time. He is that good, even if the movies don't seem to portray it well enough.

Word of God (aka Lucas) says that before Anakin and Luke, Yoda was the strongest Jedi and Palpatine the strongest Sith. Palpatine actually has the honor of being the strongest Sith ever.

Lucas also says that Anakin had the potential to become the strongest Force user ever, but much of that was lost due to losing his limbs and whatnot. Luke, however, had the same potential, and did reach it, and Lucas has confirmed that Luke is the strongest Force user ever in the Star Wars universe, and that no one will ever surpass him.

And ignoring the Expanded Universe is lol worthy considering most of it is of higher quality than the prequels.

Once again, Palpatine threw the fight, it's called strategy, if he had wanted to win, he would have done so quite quickly, but then Anakin wouldn't have turned to the Dark Side as a result.

What Halo said. Yoda is ridiculously good. He was actually holding back somewhat against Dooku anyway-Dooku was his former padawan and Yoda would rather turn him back to the light than fight him.

I also don't like what the Prequels did to Yoda, as I see him more of a Jedi that would hardly ever use his lightsaber. He's so strong in the Force, he doesn't need it, he didn't need it to fight Dooku especially, the only reason he did is because Lucas is stupid and wanted Yoda to use a lightsaber and bounce all over the place because he thought it would be cool, while everyone else thought it was incredibly silly. Which it was.

I don't think he could have legit beaten Windu. He's better at the Force and his Force Lightning was crazy good but everything was negated by the lightsaber. He may have gotten stronger in the OT, but that fight in 3 was legit.

Also this. Lucas has outright stated this. They're pretty much equal, the only reason Palps took the fight in the Senate Chamber is because he managed to take the high ground. LOL. Plus there was some mumbo jumbo about the Dark Side growing stronger in the wake of Palps' treachery.

Palps may have actually gotten weaker by the time of the OT, at least in terms of lightsaver combat. He spent most of his time lazing around and reveling in ruling the Empire. I don't really think he spent much time doing anything with his blade. His Force skills may have improved.

Peak Palps is probably his resurrection in a much younger body in Dark Empire. When he and Luke fight they're moving so fast Leia can barely track them.

Most certainly not. You also seem to underestimate the Force. Yoda has practically stated that if you understand the Force enough, a lightsaber is essentially useless. Someone who has such mastery of the Force, like Yoda or Sidious, would defeat anyone with a lightsaber, no matter how good they are.

Meh, OT Palps wasn't above dueling, he just hadn't had any need to in years. The RotS novelizaton clarifies that Palpatine relished the opportunity to finally take his saber to the Jedi, and he's known to be a particularly skilled and vicious duelist.

This is true, but if you've got someone like Luke, whose mastery of the Force has far surpassed both Palps' and Yoda's, while simultaneously being an insanely talented duelist...well, that's when you become dang near unstoppable.

EU Luke has been so strong in recent years that they usually have to find excuses to keep him out of the battles or else he just wrecks shop. Usually they accomplish it making him hesitant to be the aggressor for fear of falling to the Dark Side.

As for PT Yoda vs OT Yoda, PT Yoda was much cockier than OT Yoda. I always felt that his days on Dagobah are what humbled Yoda and made him realize the error of both his and the Jedi ways, and why he teaches Luke what he does. Yoda's reliance on the lightsaber in the PT was a reflection of the time: Jedi were changed from keepers of the peace to outright soldiers and generals.

EU Luke was already broken and ridiculously strong before the most recent book series started, and now in that series they've given him the ability to teleport objects around. So far he's only done it with smaller stuff...but still, that's ridiculous. And he's the first known Jedi to have mastered it.

Even Han and Leia's kids would be pretty far up there in the rankings, as would a number of NJO Jedi.

I always felt this way, too. Mainly because Yoda doing his little badass stare and the Emperor look like he's about to s*** himself. Unfortunately, the time it would have taken for him to get back up and continue the conflict, I would assume the Emperor's Royal Guard and more Clonetroopers would show up, making the fight that much more unwinnable. Yoda could have won, but he had an unfortunate setback during the battle.
