The script also says it was in a confined space. With that palpatine couldn't use his full offensive capability due to being in a confined space. Notice the difference in his battle with yoda and his battle with maul and savage. Notice how he flips around and incorporates acrobatics.
1. I agree. Be careful with EU. There going to say it's illegal and can't be used.
2. I agree, they're going to ask you to prove it with movie feats. .
3. They don't believe in styles. He says what movie feats prove this. I agree with you. Aankain has stronger strikes and dookus style is weak to kinetic strikes.
One thing you have to understand is that Lucas could have been describing the scene. Also the word APPEARS is the key word. Appears is describing it and also shows that this is what it looks like. Also yoda had a oh I'm f***** face as well. Then the force threw both of them back showing both were stalemates as yoda couldn't overwhelm Sidious or vice versa. Also script doesn't say he disarmed him it says he dropped his lightsaber.
1. We all know palpatine by this time(Rots) is no doubt better than Plagueis. By that time also he had gained all the knowledge that Plagueis had to offer so I see no reason why you would think this shows Sidious being weak.
2. You know where I stand in that. I still stand by Sidious throwing the fight as there were plenty of obvious opportunities where he let windu live. Even with the lightsaber.
3. That doesn't show a lack of skill, more overconfidence that almost cost yoda his life. Also why would he suspect that after Vader has been loyal to him, killing Jedi, and even saved him from an assassination attempt in the EU. He didn't have to do that.
4. Again how does this point to any lack of skill? May I remind you Sidious hid his appearance as a Sith from Yoda and the rest of the council, clouding their vision. His father turned, and he was trained by Obi wan so why wouldn't Luke turn.
5. You need to rewatch the episode where Sidious tells Dooku to eliminate Ventress, or how he had Vader kill Galen marek in front of him to prove his loyalty. Also I'm asking, but didn't he try to get Galen marek as his apprentice tricking Vader into training an apprentice so he could replace vader?
All depends on your perception. If you take location, circumstances, and everything that was at stake, Sidious can appear to be better. However as of ROTS they are for all tense and purposes equals.
All those things listed against Sids were all done to Mirror what somebody listed for Yoda... stuff like not knowing Sids was the chancellor... not knowing Anakin would switch etc etc. So I was playing the same game. The rest of the stuff we've gone over before and there is no need to do so again.
BTW, they can talk about how styles aren't mentioned in the movies but they would be wrong. Mace in talking to Kenobi it's specifically mentioned how windu created his OWN style (Vaapad) and he then talks about how Kenobi is a master of one style which is better than being good at many. We also see styles mentioned in the clone wars series... so yes, styles are very much canon.

They say it is now apart of the EU. It still happend. Except the future events like Luke being grandmaster.
It's just not in continuity of we just don't see it. I still happened.
