“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back
Yoda leads the attack on Geonosis:
Yoda confronts Dooku:
Yoda attacks the clone troopers at the Jedi Temple:
Yoda tells Obi-Wan he must attack Vader:
Yoda attacks the Emperor:
Yoda tells Luke that he must "confront Vader" in order to become a Jedi (Did Yoda think Luke and Vader would just have a friendly chat? Later, when Luke tells Obi-Wan that he can't kill his own father, Obi-Wan says "then the Emperor has already won.")
Yoda destroys the old tree containing ancient Jedi books of knowledge:
I realize that in each of these instances, Yoda was defending someone. We are not meant to take "never attack" literally, but figuratively ... Yet I think this double-standard may lend evidence to Luke's claim in The Last Jedi about the Jedi's own hypocrisy.
