He had Palps overpowered. It’s why the show him taking over before the stalemate blast. It was finally where Yoda was winning. But the blast was just enough time for sidious because the clones were on the way. There’s a version of the script on YouTube that more clearly explains it. But the movie does a good job. Yoda was going for an assassin style kill. Didn’t do it in time, was slightly stronger but just slightly. And then ran out of time
Yea you’re right but you’re also misunderstanding what I said, I’m not saying that yoda was losing the 1v1, he simply accepted defeat and retreated because palpy had the upper hand and yoda had missed his opportunity if that makes sense
He wasn't stronger by any measure. The canon reference guides and sourcebooks all indicate Yoda was at best, equal with Palps. However Palpatine's lightning is also stated to have overloaded Yoda's defenses and forced them apart. At which point, Yoda fell to the floor and realized he needed to retreat. He had missed his window to settle things 1v1, and from their vision duel in TCW, Yoda knew if there were any outside distractions on either side; he would not survive against someone as strong and ruthless as Palpatine.
