Didn't Vandar get killed sometime when the Jedi met? Because I thought I heard someone talking about Darth Nihilus killing everything on the planet where the Jedi met.

"Palpatine also BEAT Yoda. Hmm. Does this ring a bell." Palpatinhe only beat Yoda because of the enviroment. If there hadn't been a huge drop which yoda was knocked diwn, Yoda would have beaten Palpatine. In the film you see Palpatine laughing and using lightning in a Yoda in trouble. Then suddenly, something in Yoda gives him the determination to stop the lightning, resulting in an explosion. Yoda flew furthur as he was lighter. Only because of this did Yoda lose. "NOT JUST because of his crystal and lightsaber but he did NOT use his inner darkness to fight Yoda. Mace only uses his darksided powers and vapaad when he NEEDS it. He would never use it in a duel vs a friend. Do you need me to repeat that for you? Mace Windu did not unleash his invisible vapaad which would reflect Yoda own powers back at him. Yoda would have ZERO defence against the speed either if you knew ANYTHING about vapaad." Since when was the dark-side suddenly a million times better than the Light Side. Mace only uses Vappad to channel the natural darkness within him to do good. It doesn't mean that it would make him super, invinciably powerful. Sure Light-Side powers aren't generally about attack and destruction, but it doesn't mean that the Jedi are defencless. And as a note, Vappad isn't actually invisible as a lightsabre form. The animal itslef is very fast so you cannot count it's legs until its' dead, but they are far from invisible, just harder to react to. Also, Vappad doen't just automaticly reflect powers back at the enemy, he has to make a consious effort to do this, and it isn't easy at all. Mace had trouble with Palpy's Lightning, it wasn't just stand there and the enemy will lose. He was in severe pain too. Vappad also 'uses an opponents inner darkness and hate against them'. Not sure how much of that Yoda has. Yoda has Force Powers superior to those of Mace's. That's why he was head on the Council (Though they wouldn't atmit he was, he was.) Mace was second for a reason. Yoda could out-do Mace in a contest through the Force, and wouldn't be completely defensless against Mace and his Vappad. He is good with a lightsabre too, leaping around, doging and attacking at the same time, he would be very hard to hit, even for Mace Windu. Back to my old point when Mace admitted Yoda was a better fighter than him. Sure you could say that Mace hadn't used his super-mega-ultra powers, if it was anyone else saying that. But Mace said it. and he knows his own abilities better than anyone. If he thinks he is worse than Yoda, he must be, or even if he is actually better (which he definatly isn't) his disbeleif of his power to defeat Yoda would eventually cause him to lose to him, as he thinks that he cannot win. Just because he doesn't use his ultimate dark-side powers, doesn't mean that with them he will win. Yoda is a very capable swordsman, and though Vappad can be taught, no one can replicate Yodas' lightsabre form, and it unique and very potent aswell. If you want solid hard proof that Palpy acted his loss to Mace I don't have exactly that. What I do have though is a extract from the book "Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith" Schooltastic book, and though it was not the Novel, it was still a book published on the film. It says clearly that when Mace was defensless Palpatine used his lightning again. It states clearly that "Palpatine was faking! He wasn't tired at all!" So there is some proof that Palpatine may have acted his loss to Mace. Imagine if Skywalker came in and Palpatine was standing over the four Jedi's bodies. Maby Anakin may not have been so impulsive, and koined the dark side. Let's just say for a second that he was fighting at his full strength. Then he felt Anakin coming into the building and then makes hiself look like he's lost and defencless, at the mercy of Mace Windu who wants to kill him. Then Anakin would be more likely to turn.

"The story says the kaiburr crystal increases your force pwoers one thousand fold. HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN gameplay." I think they're just exagurating. If it really did that, Luke would be suddenly all powerful and there wouldn't be a big struggle against the Vong. It's just like that as the author wants the readers to go "WOW!" "Yes Yoda is impressive but Mace is better." But Mace admitted it himself. Yoda can out-duel him.
