No, seriously. I will never see him as a hero.

He brough balance to the force...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I don't see him as a hero, either. Not in the common sense.

Yep, by eliminating the Jedi order, he brought it to an even and balanced number again.

Palpatine and him
vs
Yoda and Obi-Wan


Quite balanced

Yoda and Obi-Wan should've let the whiney little biotch go, and both attacked Palpatine. They might've actually won. They could track down Anakin later.

Agreed. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had no trouble ganging up on Darth Maul.

Well, one of them did get killed, but otherwise, they did fine. :lol:

The Emperor was the greater threat, and should've had their maximum attention and effort. Dividing your forces is almost always dumb.

Right. Simple odds. I guess Yoda just didn't expect to get his ass kicked.

Of course, Obi-Wan likely wouldn't have survived.

Leaving Yoda to deal with Darth Vader. A rather short fight, I'd imagine. Sith destroyed.

I think between the two of them, they could've done it. Of course, if Anakin Wusswalker hadn't interfered, Mace Windu could've handled it himself.
