Meh.^ That's going to be in the Dictionary.
The novelization is weird. They fight on a wet ledge, where Sidious slows down to maintain a better grip, then Mace senses what is apparently Anakin's fear and disarms Sidious...
To be fair, in the novel, it's from Mace's POV and this is when Mace feels Anakin approaching..
So in the novel, Palpatine ,might have had another motive for hesitating.

When he says that Mace "overpowered" Sidious in the RotS commentary.It means Mace won.
Then he went on to say Sidious pretended to be weak. He did overpower Sidious, but i believe Sidious allowed it. I don't think Sidious planned on winning, or why else would he have called out to Anakin via telepathy.
Yes i know. GL said he always had Windu overpowering Sidious, and then later added the part where Sidious pretended to be weak.
Im not saying Windu did not overpower Sidious. I am saying Sidious may have intentionally put his guard down in order to let Mace overpower him. It is clear that Sidious's plan was for Anakin to intervene. Now if Sidious was the one to overpower Windu, the plan would not have worked out.
