a long time ago in a galaxy far
far away a jedi there was master he is
yoda his name you're not gonna keep
doing that are you
tell me what to do you cannot okay the
mysterious grand master yoda devoted his
life to the ways of the force
and deleting the jedi order a group of
noble peacekeepers
they took it upon themselves to maintain
a state of tranquility in the galaxy
don't be fooled by all that talk of
peace though they're like superhuman
samurai
jedi consistently take on hordes of
baddies by themselves
and they've been doing it for centuries
way before the start of the galactic
republic at which point the jedi became
much more entangled in
let's just say government affairs oh
sure that's what the space wizards were
missing
politics the jedi council began weighing
in on various matters to both protect
democracy
and avoid violent conflicts except they
kind of screwed the porg on that front
the clone wars wasn't just a fantastic
series by george lucas and dave filoni
it was also an awesome mini-series by
gandy tartakovsky
and it was a horrific war that wiped out
the jedi erased the republic and saw the
rise of the empire
you're that two spoilers man as the jedi
grand master yoda led
the grand army of the republic a
military force almost entirely comprised
of
clones aka disposable people
man that gets really messed up if you
think about it too long
so i won't despite his small frail
appearance yoda could absolutely hold
his own in combat
in fact he's considered one of the most
powerful jedi of his era
he's trained all the greats like obi-wan
mace windu and even liam neeson
where do you think he got that
particular set of skills from
all of yoda's 900 years of experience
certainly came in handy
like when he battled count dooku and
darth sidious two of the most powerful
sith lords ever known
both jedi and sith usually come with the
standard issue lightsaber a badass
weapon for a more badass age
they're pretty versatile too with seven
different forms of combat styles
and don't think yod is gonna miss out on
all that laser sword swinging
he's mastered all seven styles even
though he's only two feet high
hell most lightsabers are taller than he
is which is why he specializes in the
fourth form
ataru this style focuses on utilizing
the force to increase a jedi's
capabilities
allowing them to attack at blurring
speeds with incredible precision
basically he can flip-flop around like a
ninja frog
wait is he actually kermit this does
still mean yoda has a sort of handicap
in physical combat
as his stature requires him to use the
force far more than most opponents just
to keep up
while the force is beyond the body and
seemingly infinite
too much effort all at once can put a
strain on a person and
even kill them however yoda is truly a
master of the force
potentially more so than any other jedi
he has moved starships with his mind and
lifted hundreds of droids at once
he can also use mind tricks illusions
and a technique called two to minus
that's when jedi blocker catch and
redirect energy like lightning blaster
bolts or even other lightsabers
it's safe to say that yoda greatly
prefers using the force in combat over
his jedi weapon
i actually have a similar power where i
can redirect insults back at people
they call it rubber glueiness oh really
yeah go ahead call me anything you want
okay you are a childish leech who uses
alcoholism as a crutch to seem
interesting hey
what the hell man oh what i'm sorry what
you're like the worst person ever how
can you say that
oh god uh come back in a couple days and
we'll talk about yoda's opponent
king mickey i feel terrible now
gotcha sucker i don't have feelings
