So when were these released?
2014 at least, but I imagine the scans here are from various Insider issues. However, they seem to be Legends on reflection. Not canon.

Palpatine only threatened to overwhelm him there; he didn't outright overwhelm him.
Sids is>Yoda regardless of how
I'd like to point out that sidious doesn't actually outright overpower yoda in the force battle in the senior novel. He blasts him while yoda is in midair after outmanuvering him. All the senior novel makes clear is yoda would eventually have lost assuming the force lightning battle had a decisive conclusion(which it doesn;t have). But no source material actually shows that sidious would have been able to maintain control long enough to decisively beat him. And the only sources that actually have the force lightning battle reach a conclusion show sids losing control at the end be it the movie, junior novel, or script.
And you could argue the senior novel supports this with sids deciding to end the lightning exchange and go for outmanuvering yoda and then being a "very very tired old man afterwards.
