Why could Mace Vindu defeat Emperor Palpatine in light saber duel but Yoda couldn't?
I have a question about Star Wars. Why could Mace Windu defeat Emperor Palpatine in a lightsaber duel but Yoda couldn't?
According to Star Wars canon, Mace Windu was skilled in a lightsaber fighting form called Vaapad, which allowed him to channel his inner darkness without being consumed by it. This made him a match for Palpatine's use of the dark side of the Force. Yoda, on the other hand, was more focused on the defensive aspect of lightsaber combat and was not as proficient in aggressive forms.
