Actually... In the scene where Yoda walks in, and bounces the Red Guard's skulls against the wall when confronting Sidious, it always got a huge laugh when I saw it. The scene where Yoda decapitates the clones is cool, and powerful. But when he disposes of the gaurds? Thats just freakin hilarious.

How bout when he throws the saber in that dude's chest? That was tight!

It was stupid of the clones to only use 2 troopers aganist the top jedi of the jedi order. Then you have two wookies standing near Yoda, if they did any intel on Yoda they'd know the wookiees would be loyal to Yoda and defend him probably. So were talking 1 very very powerful Jedi, 2 wookiee warriors aganist 2 clone troopers very bad planning there.

I often wondered about the wisdom of Palpatine by NOT making sure Yoda was the first one killed. Yoda is strong enough to hear the tremor in the force of hundreds of jedi dying. I got to thinking....if Yoda WAS killed first would his death create a big enough disturbance that all the other Jedi would have felt? Would the other Jedi have been more likely to survive?

I assumed that Obi-Wan was targeted first because of his importance to Anakin. I don't know if there was any logic behind the order of Order 66's execution on Palpatine's part beyond that or not, though it would make sense to me to have Yoda be second. Personally I doubt Yoda's death would be sensed by all the others because they didn't sense Anakin's fall to the dark side (death, from a certain point of view) the way Yoda did (I interpret the scene where Yoda is very distraught as him feeling Mace's death and Anakin's turn), and since Anakin had more midichlorians than Yoda I don't think they'd sense Yoda's death, either. Yoda is more in tune with the Force than most Jedi, which would explain why he sensed Mace and Anakin's fate when the other Jedi did not. We see Obi-Wan's strength in the Force growing so that by the time of Episode IV he is able to become one with it as well as sense the destruction of Alderaan.

EDIT: Edited for spelling.

I'm not sure if he's feeling Anakin's turn as well as Mace's death. It's pretty well implied that Anakin got pretty good at covering his emotions and such, as he could sit in a room with the Jedi Council and have them not know about Padme. Surely he may have done the same when he became Vader. Even still, with Mace bein right up there with Yoda and the other Jedi (Off planet of course - the Jedi Temple supposedly had felt some tremor) not sensing Mace's death, you are probably correct that the "force sense" isn't a two way street.

I believe that Yoda felt both the death of Mace Windu, as well as Anakin's turn. Shaak Ti did feel Mace's death, which is why she went to her quarters to meditate on what happened and try to find an answer.

Yoda felt all the deaths combined, I think. Kind of like Ben and Alderan.
