Franchise: Star Wars
Factions: Jedi versus Sith
Film: Revenge Of The Sith

Though the thought of a little frog man versus an OAP doesn’t seem that exciting on paper, when Yoda and Palpatine meet as part of ROTS’s finale, it’s quite some brawl. The green guy shows he’s still got what it takes by bouncing around like a super-charged power ball, but by revealing the extent of his powers, Palpatine defeats Yoda and casts him into exile.
