When Qui Gon died, Dooku (reluctantly) pledged his allegiance to Darth Sidious. However, Yaddle had followed Dooku to the Sith's hideout on Coruscant and learned the truth about Dooku's allegiance and the Sith master. Yaddle and Dooku engage in a duel and Yaddle holds her own for a short while before Dooku closes the door on her. She then expends all of her remaining energy to lift the door with the force and fall back into her's and Dooku's battlefield, with Sidious still present. Dooku then assassinates her with his lightsaber, securing his path in the dark side.

Obviously, there was no way for her to survive once she fell back inside the Sith's hideout. However, one simple thing I wonder is how she might have survived had she fallen backwards, down towards the lower streets of Coruscant. Would she manage to report back to the Jedi via communicator about Dooku and Sidious? Would she even make it back to the Jedi temple?

I believe that Yaddle would fall to the streets and would attempt to return to the Jedi temple. She would be eager to warn the Jedi about the dangers to come; however, she would also be too weak to get there easily. Another sad truth though is that the majority of the Jedi, which includes the council, was on their way to Naboo for Qui Gon's funeral. I imagine her communication device would have either shattered when the door was closed on her by Dooku or just from the fall.

Sidious would be worried about Yaddle's survival. He isn't ready for his identity and hiding place to be revealed. He would ensure that Yaddle is killed before she can make it back to the temple.

Ultimately, I feel that Sidious's secret was safe. He and Dooku might have to put in extra work to find and kill Yaddle before she gets back to the temple, but I don't see her actually reaching her destination, nor do I feel that she will successfully communicate her findings with the Jedi prior to her death.
