One of the most thrilling matchup in the story of Star Wars is between Yoda and Palpatine . Darth Sidious himself , Lord of the Sith , destroyer of the Jedi , master of Darth Vader , vs. the greatest Jedi to ever hold up ( in canyon , in any event , bad Revan stans ) . It ca n’t be topped . Unless … .

You know it was amount . The infinite meming ofprobably the cutest babyin Star Wars has come to this : Baby Yodavs . Darth Sidious . And I do it it . Courtesy of YouTube creatorMaxeBaumannFilms2013 , we get to see what would have happened ifBaby Yodahad tested his tiny , cherished might against the crush , all - potent dark of the Emperor himself .

Fan edits sometimes do n’t work , but this one utterly does . The editing is fairly smooth , considering what the creator has to crop with here , and Palpatine ’s hammy cackling whole kit and caboodle incredibly against Baby Yoda ’s … baby - ness . I could have done without the edited baby sounds , but they play up the silliness , which is never a bad thing .

One of the big , light-headed theory about Baby Yoda I ’ve hear out there is that he ’s a clone created by Emperor Palpatine . Which make this really his fault . Nothing like getting wrecked by your own time - travelling clone baby .
