    killing palpatine there would’ve been winning the war, even if yoda perished as a consequence

    i feel like yoda would’ve been “enlightened” enough to sacrifice himself for the sake of the galaxy if that was an option on the cards for him

      Wtf guys. Yoda literally found the way to cheat death and preserve knowledge. That is the entire plot twist I believed up until now?!

        Qui-Gon did that, and taught it to Obi-Wan with ghost powers.

        I think? Or did Qui-Gon teach it to Yoda with Ghost Powers, and then Yoda just taught it normally…

            He tells Obi-Wan at the end of RotS and gives him homework.

            Honestly, even before the prequels I thought Alec Guinness looking up into the air every now and then in ANH was him listening to some spirit or the Force or so.

              I think it is actually canon now that he sometimes talked with Qui Gon. Before he leaves Tatooine to go save Leia, Qui Gon says something like “see you soon”, and Obi Wan goes “huh that was weird for him say”

          I believed that both have been teached by yoda.

          Plus, a Sith - someday kills his master. With yoda already knowing whos about to emerge… Ouh man, the predisney saga was awesomeee
