The final act of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith sees Yoda and Obi-Wan split up in an attempt to destroy the Sith, but why didn't they fight Palpatine together? First released domestically on May 19th, 2005, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith opened to a highly positive critical reception, with George Lucas bringing his oft-maligned Star Wars prequel trilogy to a close in bombastic fashion. Revenge of the Sith's decidedly bleak Faustian narrative ends with the Sith effectively ruling the galaxy and eradicating their competition, leaving only a few surviving Jedi within the canon Star Wars universe. Among the remnants of the surviving Jedi Order are Yoda (Frank Oz) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), who are both on Coruscant after transmitting a warning message from the Jedi Temple. Yoda then tells Obi-Wan that they will strike quickly in an attempt to defeat the Sith, with Yoda attempting to kill Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) in his personal chambers on Coruscant while Obi-Wan travels to Mustafar to stop his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). Yet Yoda's plan apparently overlooks the simple option of both he and Obi-Wan assaulting Palpatine together and gaining a numerical advantage on Coruscant (where they are already located) before then going after Anakin.
