Jesus vs. Yoda...discuss

Posted by Brad Polley |

I'm working my way through the Star Wars movies (at least the three good ones) and I was thinking, "Who would win in a fight between Jesus and Yoda?"  

At first blush, my gut reaction is Yoda, but Jesus offers some interesting angles as well.  I don't really have an answer.  They're both incredible in their own special ways, but I just don't know. Here are my thoughts in a pro-con format:

Jesus
Pros:
- He's the Son of God, that has to give you some sort of an advantage.
- After his resurrection, he could walk through walls, thus giving him the ability to escape if needed.
- He's much taller than Yoda.
- You apparently can't kill him, or at least, keep him dead.  

Cons:
- He's a pacifist, that has to hurt you in a fight.
- He has no light saber, unless he can conjure one out of thin air.

Yoda
Pros:
- He's Yoda.
- He has wicked light saber skills.
- He has the force (one could argue that Jesus had this as well)
- He's a Jedi, so if you strike him down, he only becomes stronger.

Cons:
- He's pretty stinkin' small.

So who wins?  Jesus?  Yoda?  Does the battle rage on for millenia until they both decide to call a truce?

Shouldn't you be writing lessons or something? Or maybe trying to better understand why your oldest is cuter than you were at that age? Or why your brother is the skinniest thirty-something living yet is still so unattractive that Bigfoot wouldn't even give him a second look? These are questions you should be pondering.

first off: Todd, bite me!

secondly, i'm going to have to go with the Son of God on this one.

third, you are most certainly going to hell for this post.

see you there.

FALSE FALSE FALSE.

as the biggest star wars geek that reads your blog... here we go...

Yoda, doesn't die either... his spirit lives on... and as we saw in episode 2, yoda's height matters not... Count Dooku is like 6 feet tall and Yoda spanked him pretty well... and believe it or not yoda is a pacifist...

which brings me to my next point...

sure one might be stronger than the other... but it wouldn't matter because they are both on the same side...

they would become partners... Starsky and Hutch... Batman and Robin... Laverne and Shirley...

Michael, here's why I love you:

You just equated Jesus and Yoda with Laverne and Shirley.

Beautiful.
