It spoils very little to tell you that Palpatine eventually becomes the Emperor.

My son saw Episode II over the weekend and as a consequence has reversed a position he has held for some time: he is now convinced that in a one-on-one, head-to-head, Jedi vs. pig fight to the finish, Yoda would take Miss Piggy.

Fair enough, but me thinks you are over simplifying things here. There are plenty of acts by the so called good guys that have resulted in the death of innocent bystanders. No one comes out of these things without innocent blood on their hands.

My point here is not that good is evil or vice versa, just that not everything is black and white. Mostly it's shades of grey.

let's get back to the subject of jedi vs. the empire, shall we? Palpatine's rule is evil, there is no doubt about it. I bet any stormtrooper you ask would tell you the same thing in private, without fear of the Emperor finding out and killing him.
