Sidious was toying with Maul and Oppress. This is evident at the beginning of the fight where Sidious pins the two against the wall with TK then lets them go.Not even going to bother with the second part.

Palpatine's attempt to retreat suggest not only was he serious, but he was scared of Yoda.
And in the junior novelization it's made clear that Yoda is pretending to be hurt to try and catch Sidious off guard by landing a Force push. But yeah, this is probably non canon.
Originally posted by TrocityPalpatine was laughing his ass off at the end of the Yoda fight to in which Yoda fell and was defeated. Palpatine tends to cackle like a moron and allow his opponents time to recover. Combat buffoonery.
We could say that, actually.And then Yoda got back up and managed to tk him. Palpatine's facial expression changes after that and he even tries to leave.
Compared to the shit eating grin he wears throughout the Maul brothers fight.

Nah Junior Novelizations are canon. The JN for ROTS confirmed Yoda disarmed Sidious which comes straight from the script.

Yes, he was fearful and tried to leave after he allowed him over 30 seconds to recover. He's an idiot and a scared one at that.
Yeah because Yoda displayed power he didn't expect from a Jedi. In that moment Sidious realized that unlike in the fight with Mace (imo) he was not in control.
Originally posted by Lord StarkHe just force pushed him back ffs. Mace won that fight and Yoda lost ironically. Continue to ignore the facts all you want as they wont change.
