In Revenge of the Sith, the Sith get some serious revenge. ("NO WAI!"--Shut up, I'm not done yet). Palpatine converts Anakin, Vader kills everybody, and Sidious is Emperor. Yoda and Obi-Wan go back to Coruscant and find out everything.

One Sith was there on Coruscant, chilling. The other was across the galaxy. Obi-wan and Yoda are int he same room, right next to eachother, on Courscant. What's their plan of attack?

Split up, of course!

Instead of going down the block, killing the Emperor, then finding Anakin and stop him, too, they split up. You know, so that the fate of the galaxy is a 50/50 chance instead of a sure thing.

Yoda was evenly matched with Sidious, just them. I'm sure that the addition of another powerful Master would have tipped the scale, and made it a fairly easy victory. (Well, it didn't help Mace, but that was different. )

Obi-Wan and Anakin were also evenly matched, absurdly so. Yoda most likely could have beat Anakin, and Obi-Wan did. Together, it should have been easy. In fact, that way they might have had a remote chance of subduing and saving Anakin, but if only one of them fought him, when they one they're pretty much have to kill him in order to be able to stop him.

They coulda just both taken out the Sith one at a time. Spend an extra hour or so and insure victory. But no, gotta keep things fair when fighting the conspiring Dark Lords of the Sith. "Sorry, gotta keep it strictly one on one. Give Alderaan my regards."


I guess I can't really complain, though. Those fights were freakin awesome. And kind of important to the saga, too. But maybe Yoda should reconsider his understanding of the phrase "Divide and Conquer."
