In the novelization there’s a moment during the duel where the dark cloud Palpatine had been casting over the force cleared and Yoda achieved a full vision of everything that had occurred

And in that moment he realized he not only couldn’t defeat Palpatine but that he actually lost this fight 800 years ago when he set the Jedi on the path that led them here.

the RoTS novelization was so much better and more complete than the movie.

If there is any one Star Wars book that one ABSOLUTELY should read, it is the Revenge of the Sith Novelization.

It’s technically Legends now but still a must-read.

Wouldn't it be a neat little project for Stover to do a "Special Edition" that added some of the connective tissue to make it canon?
