Sorry about that one. I was about to write "godlike being" but it slipped. The thing is you're wrong my friend. Gandalf can still cast powerful spells even without his staff. There's a book called History of Middle Earth that tells the story of a young Gandalf coming into age. I think he was known as olorin that day. There's that part where his staff was confiscated by his seniors because of stubborness while a powerful manslaughtering being was approaching middle earth. Gandalf fought it without his staff and performs many powerful magic that stopped the thing from its tracks. He then seals it inside a stone never to be seen again.

Gandalf is one of the most overrated fictional characters in history. Tolkien created him to be indestructable. He's also very f-cking complicated. Sometimes he's a powerful badass, sometimes he's just a sick weakling. Probably because P. Jackson is trying to make a "more human" Gandalf than what Tolkien originlly created.

There are ways Yoda can defeat Gandalf. Probably 40/60 in favor of Gandalf. Give Yoda a long range blaster and snipe the wizard from a far and he sure will be victorious:)
