Palpatine Was Right All Along — Yoda Totally Blew It

There are many great confrontation sequences in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, but one of them carries a special punch. When Master Yoda (Frank Oz) arrives at the Senate to confront newly-self-appointed Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), they exchange some memorably sassy insults, from "my little green friend" to "at end your rule is, and not short enough it was." It's Darth Sidious who lets out the sharpest and most accurate one, however: "Your arrogance blinds you, Master Yoda." This line exposes Yoda as the major culprit of the fall of the Jedi Order, as well as the reason for it.
