I understand why, but none of these include my favorite part. At the end when Yoda is limping and he calls his cane back to him with the Force and slowly limps along like nothing happened.
As someone who was there on opening night, I can confirm that the theater went absolute bonkers when Yoda ignited his lightsaber. After over 30 years of waiting, we finally got to see Yoda fight with a lightsaber.
Please, I sincerely ask for a moment to honor one of the best actors in history. With his close friends Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre, Christopher Lee gave us decades of the most elegant, brilliant, sophisticated and intelligent bad guys ever seen. Villains never was to be the same without them. Lee never won an Academy Award. But he won our love. Forever.
'He uses a cane to walk, how is this going to go?' Cassie asked the question we all did, it was never answered. Maybe Yoda only used the cane so he could claim for Disability Living Allowance or something. 🤣
The reason is simple. Yoda uses form 4 of lightsaber fighting. He uses his force power to severely augment his physical speed, strength, and perception. The downside with this is that it can only hold it for so long. Yoda is an extremely old man so this form is required for him to function normally. Obi-wan uses form 3 (an extremely defensive form which is why he never struck Dooku). The sheer fact that he managed to hold on THAT long was a testament to his connection with the force. There are 5 forms; Form 1: Basic lightsaber techniques, form 2: lightsaber dueling only (what count Dooku uses), Form 3: The extreme defense technique Form 4: The overwhelming offense with the drawback of a long cooldown time Form 5: A mixture of form 3 and 4 (what Anakin uses)
@@aaronburdon221 Actually, there are a total of 7 forms of lightsaber combat. Form 6 is usually used by Jedi Guardians and is a mix of form 1 and 2, while Form 7 is used by Mace Windu and it veers dangerously close to the Dark Side.
Anikin's two saber attack was a nod to Miyamoto Musashi. The greatest samurai ever who's two handed sword technique is still being taught in japan to this day and his book of the five rings are his philosophy for defeating any opponent using any weapon.
5:13 for the record its all because Jedi lightsaber techniques all focus on dismemberment too neutralize the enemy without killing them. I know the youtuber won't see this comment but had to say it none the less.
I believe its called "Force Valor", allowing the Force to flow through one's self like a raging river and overcome any physical limitations. Unfortunately its only useable in short bursts due to the strain it puts on the Jedi's connection to the Force which is why Yoda only fights as a last resort
A lot of people are wondering why none of the reactors questioned why Yoda was able to fight like that when he hobbled in. You have to understand he is using a lot of force power to be able to maneuver like that. When it’s not activated, he is just an elderly person with a cane.
You'd think it'd take less effort to simply control the saber telekinetically and have it fight Dooku at a distance from Yoda over enhancing Yoda's speed and dimming the pain from straining old - likely arthritic - joints.
Also I know it’s their first time watching in general, but I feel like it was weird that everyone was perfectly chill with the fact that yoda took the lightsaber off his belt with the force instead of his hand
I've heard a cool theory. Hands have to do with the exercising of will. Losing the right hand can mean giving up your own will, either to the dark side or to the light.
Cristy on Yoda: "Remember when he was a puppet?" Yoda to Dooku: (Unfortunately edited out of the theatrical version) "You don't know who you're messing with, b*tch! I ain't no puppet."
I remember when this scene hit in the theater. I think I went day after opening and the noise was on par with Cap saving Thor with Mjolnir and the revived people showing up in Endgame, it was that nuts.
