Two fights. These two fights shaped the galaxy. The fate of the galaxy hung at their very outcome. I think you know the two fights I am referring to. In this blog I will talk about one, the next will come later. Right now I want to talk about the Clash of the Titans.
SMACK BANG, I hear a new apprentice you have Emperor. Or should I call you Darth Sidious.
Master Yoda, you survived.
Surprised are you.
Your arrogance blind you, Master Yoda. Now you will experience the true power of the dark side.
And with that an epic fight began.
Master Yoda vs. Darth Sidious
Jedi vs. Sith
Light vs. dark
Finally we got to see the two greatest force wielders of the time face off. We had brief glimpses of their powers in past episodes. We saw the lethal lightening of the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. We saw the acrobatic fighting skills and force prowess of Yoda in Attack of the Clones. But this was it. The pinnacles of the Lightside and Darkside were facing off. No restraints. No holding back. An all out fight.
Both of these beings were fighting for the survival of there race. Yoda, was one of 100 Jedi still alive (out if about 100,000, many going into hiding and giving up the life of a force using Jedi) and fighting for the lives of his Jedi and every being in the galaxy. Sidious's regime of darkness was being threatened and all of his hard work was threatened of being abolished. They were fighting to kill the other. No, to destroy the other.
At first we see a small display of force powers, both beings being hit by the others attack. I thought it was real cool how both were hit. Yoda hit's the wall, and Sidious crashes into his chair. It looked very real.
Then, WHAT!, Sidious tries to make a run for it. Why, you ask. Because he was in the strongest, most powerful position in the galaxy. Who wants to risk ending that. Sidious ran because he knew Yoda was powerful and he did not want any damage to befall on himself while in such a position.
So, Yoda stops him. Then they say snappy dialogue. Lightsabers whip out, and the first strike is thrown. The two make there was towards the podium. It lifts up and we see, in my opinion, the best shot of all the Star Wars movies. Seeing the Senate building with the red and green lightsaber striking at each other, was just so symbolic.
When we come back to them Sidious gave up on the lightsaber and starts throwing pods around with the force. It is like he is ripping democracy from it very hinges. Eventually, Yoda uses the force and throws a nice comeback. Sidious can not find Yoda. Where is he? There he is, ZAP.
Now we see the two in a power struggle. At first Sidious appears to have the upper hand, but then Yoda makes a comeback, flinging them both in opposite directions. Sidious hangs on, while Yoda crashes into the podium. He holds on but falls, crashing three more times along the way. With that it is under stable why he fled. He lost his lightsaber and was hurt. Yoda would accept his fate. But he still has much to do until becoming one with the Force.
