Once again we can argue or present our opinions until the cows come home but it's just non-sequiter and won't change anything since it's just make-believe. :-)

However, :-) if you choose to believe Sideous "allowed" Mace to overpower him, it's as good an opinion as any. But I think I could just as legitimately disagree (until G. Lucas pops in and reveals the "truth" :-) ). As to your ascertion that the dark side is more powerful, once again ( in the SW universe ) I respectfully disagree. Yoda made it clear to Luke in episode V ("Empire") that the good side was more powerful. You could take the view that Yoda was lying or didn't know what he was talking about, but factually, in the end (episode VI) the good side did prevail and the Force was brought back into balance in accordance with their "prophecy".

>I like to think that Sideous allowed himself to almost be killed my Mace because he "knew" that Anakin would intervene and that would be Anakin's last step into the dark side. The fight between Mace and Sideous seemed to easy for Mace. It is said that the dark side is more powerful, so from that I conclude that Sideous is more powerful than Yoda.
