Now I wouldn't go so far as to say people can have an emoticons only post. That's a bit much. But I like using them to simulate whether I'm smiling or confused or whatnot.

That too. Course at 900 years old, he may have needed some spam to help with that too.

A little offense is necessary. I researched some medieval European sword fighting techniques. It's actually not that different from Easter martial arts. But the European mindset in a fight was "ALWAYS ATTACK!" If you're always on the defense, eventually you'll miss a block and lose your head. If you have to block, do it in a way that let's you counter attack quickly, or leverage the sword and hit your opponent at the same time that you are defending.
That's what Yoda needed.

           
Here's to the right to the free use of emoticons within replies!  

Well, not exactly... Haha.
What I really was thinking was that Yoda threw the fight in the same way a football team throws a game by not executing their plays. Like if a team fumbles the ball every time they get it, you'd pretty much say they threw the game. Not that they wanted the other team to win, but they didn't do anything to stop them.

Same with Yoda. He never went on offense. Yeah he threw a few force pushes, but you never see the kind of killer attacks that it would take to bring down Palpatine. Not like the kind Mace was using in his fight.

Of course, maybe that's due to the whole Ataru/spinning/flipping style of fighting. But I'm just saying I didn't see Yoda put his head in the game in this fight. Not like when he took down those clones earlier in the movie. I dunno, maybe his ears got in the way.

Hi Konah! 

Although maybe that's a good thing. The few times he is in office he introduces some really ridiculous and expensive piece of legislation.

If he and Mace could have joined forces, they could have taken Palpatine...alas, what could have been.

What really bugs me is he didn't need to stop the thing from falling. All he really had to do was push it to one side or the other and then keep fighting Dooku. *head desk* Ah, George! You're characters are slaves to your plot!!!
