Multiple canon sources supersede your personal interpretation of their fight in the film, yes.
Do you also think Dooku ~ Yoda based on their fight in AotC, or are you also willing to accept the canon sources putting Yoda definitely above Dooku at the time?

As of ROS it’s clear Sidious is vastly more powerful than Yoda

I remember back in the day the multiple souces such as handbooks, trading cards, encyclopedia's etc. used to say Colossus was Class 100 but everybody was like NOPE the comics don't show it!!! Man times have changed.
Yoda is above Dooku yes.

Sidious>/= Yoda. They're basically equal, but secondary sources have gone over the moon to negate the notion that yoda is > sidious(one someone culd reasonably interpret from the fight). Sources are fairly split on whether yoda is an equal or slightly below, so the logical conclusion is that sidius edges it.
I wasn't aware of that. Still we have a levy f quotes that suggest yoda couldn't just insta-stomp dooku, and I'd say it's supported by the fight.
I'll also add that Yoda~Dooku isn't really supported by the film given that dooku basically concedes the duel. There's also the matter of Dooku barely being able to rediirect the lighning yoda shoots at him while yoda has no issue just absorbing dooku's.
So really, I don't think dooku vs yoda is a good example for your point. Nothing suggests equality and there is evidence they weren't equal.

Your point was, correct me if I'm wrong, "You shouldn't just rely on your interpretation of a fight" and then you used dooku vs yoda an example of a fight one could interpret as showing parity even though I don't really see how you can intepret the fight that way without ignoring things that explicitly happen.
I agree with your point, but I don't think yoda vs dooku is a god example to illustrate it.
Just saying that if you *only* used the film as evidence, then there really didn't seem to be much of a disparity between Yoda and Dooku when they fought. As with any battle, it is completely subjective and open to interpretation -- that's just my take on it.
But because of the canon supplementary material at hand, we know that Yoda was indeed more powerful than Dooku... And by a HUGE margin.
Same basic thing applies to Yoda vs. Palpatine. Even if you didn't think there appeared to be much of a disparity between them in the film, an abundance of canon evidence still suggests that Palpatine was indeed superior... So in canon, RotS Palpatine > Yoda, regardless of your personal interpretation of their fight in the film.

I get your point, but irrc, weren't there a a lot of supplementary sources that put dooku as close to yoda? Dooku also is established as a peer t mace often and mace himself is placed on yoda/sidious's level by lucas himself.
Also, his is nitpicking, but while there are complimetary sources that put sidious ahead of yoda, there are many which say they're equals. Yoda=sidious is probably a fair interpretation as well.
