HoT vs ROTS Sidious

Mace about to eat his saber directly contradicts what Lucas showed onscreen. Mace was pushing forward, not pushed back.

ROTS novelization is cannon you can't contradict it it really happened?!!

Yet through the miraculous gift of vision I can look at the actual scene with my actual eyes and see that the novels description of events is complete ostrich-shit.

The ROTS novelization expands on the story Lucas would've wrote, it happened.

😆 Sorry but no. In the new canon everything is of the same level of canon.

And since the movie came out after the book did, it overwrites the latter.

Nice try mate. An canon interpretation of a canon source overrides an n-canon interpretation aka your opinion.

Mace is clearly struggling and barely holding back Sidious' lightning.

It's not an interpretation that Windu's lightsaber was moving towards Sidious instead of away from him. Therefore it's not an interpretation that Windu wasn't choking on ozone or having his lightsaber bend back towards his face. It's also not an interpretation that if someone is able to push and move forward against a force then they are not being overwhelmed by it.

Windu was having trouble yes. But he wasn't about to "eat ozone and lightsaber". That's not an interpretation, that's what Lucas put on the screen, undeniably.

Author's intent is clear here though. That being said though after reading the script. I'll concede that point.

PALPATINE raises his hands, and lightning bolts shoot out. They are blocked by MACE's lightsaber. PALPATINE is pushed back against the window sill.

MACE pushes PALPATINE out to the edge of the ledge. As the Jedi moves closer, the bolts from Palpatine's hands begin to arch back on him. The Chancellor's face begins to twist and distort. His eyes become yellow as he struggles to intensify his powers.
