The fight between Yoda and Palp RUINED Yoda in my eyes.

Luke: "Is the dark side stronger?"

Yoda: emphatically "No!"

Oh really Yoda? In 900 years I guess your memory is fading... I take it you don't remember that fight where you lost to a much younger Sith Lord pretty handedly? And then fled like a dog that just pooped on the floor?

The fight needs to be similar to the Dooku fight in Ep 2: Yoda needs to be able to take on Sidious with no problem. The true fight shouldn't be between their "power levels" with the force - Yoda should dominate if so - it should be that Sidious fights dirty, endangering innocent lives or other would-be victims that Yoda needs to exert extra "Force power" to save.

Even better, innocent people die as Yoda is unable to save them all - but witnesses only see Yoda as Sidious flees the scene. Yoda then has to go into hiding due to the public's uproar against the Jedi and his own shame in not being able to save everyone...

Yoda shouldn't fight at all. I've gone so far as to say that he shouldn't be in the Prequels at all. Just mentioned as this great Jedi who trained a bunch of the wisest masters in the order. You could even have a mythology built around him, where young Jedi in training have conversations about him and share rumours. "I heard he's 8 feet tall and wields 2 lightsabers!" And of course when we then finally meet Yoda in ESB, we realise he's powerful in a whole different way - beyond the physical.

Hmm, interesting idea, I like it.

I would prefer him not being in the prequels at all vs being in the story and not take action against Sidious. I guess if he's not in the story at all - he's still not taking action against Sidious... seems too passive thinking about it.

Again when training Luke: 'a Jedi uses the force for defense' - should we see Yoda do this? To protect the innocent?
