I'm pretty satisfied that even the most powerful Jedi of his time couldn't stand up to the Sith, and the time of the Jedi was over until the Force decided that it wasn't.

Mace was nowhere near as powerful as Yoda, so Sidious beating him and destroying him as the apex kill of Order 66 is actually something that makes Sidious and the Sith look even more unpowerful.

I would rather not see Jedi turning up all willy nilly, I mean Ashoka, sure but remember, she had left the Jedi order, and while she did take on Vader and fought him to a draw. Her going against Sidious would be very bad.

Kanan fled and for a long time didn't live as a Jedi, nor did the character from the video game.

As it is, There were really no Jedi Masters left except for Yoda and Ben. It should stay that way.
My point is that, because of where/when this show is set, he can show up here and it can still be this way by the end.

The whole point about Yoda being no match confuses me. We can't bring back Mace because he wouldn't be just hermiting in fear, but Yoda, the most powerful light side force user, is all good to be hermiting in fear? Don't the Inquisitors (obviously playing a big role here) exist as a means to specifically hunt surviving Jedi during this time period? That implies that a lot more Jedi than just these few survived the Order, at least initially and or the first few years of being hunted. To me, the idea that only a handful of Jedi survived the initial Order is super unrealistic. All the Jedi all of a sudden were gunned down by inferior Clone Troopers after surviving a decade of all out war in which they battled thousands of robot armies programmed and built specifically to kill them? I don't think they all went down like chumps on day one. Why else would the Inquisitors even exist?
