Well, you have to understand one thing. According the the movies and stories and books and what not, the dark side of the force is based off of one's emotions and the anger rising within one turning to hate and all that good stuff :biggrin:

In other words, the dark side of the force would sometimes appear to be more ascertive than the light side. That's why you're more likely to see the emperor (the dark side) throwing out lightning attacks than Yoda or any of the good Jedi.

All Windu did was repel the lightning attack back at the emperor and that was it. That's exactly how the light side works and how the light side can always defeat the dark side. I don't think the emperor was actually "too strong" for Yoda. It was all about the placing.

Just like Obi wan and Anakin; the emperor was on higher ground, and thus had an advantage. It's much more easier to throw a heavier object downwards than to lift it and throw it upwards ... or repel it. That mere fact helped the emperor there and Yoda had to find a way to retreat. The emperor of course was much stronger than Dooku and not up to par with Yoda... however the emperor wasn't "too strong" for Yoda.

As far as I can tell, the most powerful Jedi with the saber was Mace Windu and the wisest was Yoda :biggrin:
