lol i know

Well i think that Palpatine is indeed more powerful: with the lightsaber as in terms of using the force. For me (and as it seems for a majority of other people) it's obvious that Palpatine is VERY powerful: In times when the jedi order is fully integrated in a republic, he manages so hide his true identity from EVERY jedi. He unfolds his masterly thought out plan during the time of years. Not even Master Yoda senses the dark side around him.
His fight against Yoda shows, that he and the green one are even with the saber. For me Yoda has always been the most powerful jedi ever. Yoda's skill with the saber and his force powers are IMO more than well shown in the movies. I really have trouble seeing why Windu shoud be better with the saber if you watch the movies (unless there's some fancy EU - Book saying otherwise...well see my post above...)
Just for fun now my personal rankings after the prequels:
1. Darth Sidious / Yoda
(Sidious has the advantage cause yoda underestimated him. Yoda flees to save himself: a wise choice showing his superiority over other jedi)
2. Mace Windu
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi
I don't want to say that he's clearly better than Anakin. But his greatest strenght is his calm and his wisdom - not his skil with the saber.
the duel on mustafar: Anakin and him were equal. It was his superior experience that helped him survive.
4. Anakin Skywalker
The Chosen One. He has the biggest potential of all the jedi (and sith).
If he didn't turn to the dark side, he would be better than yoda, sidious and mace together after a few more years of training....
