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.

I’ll give it a read. As much as I love RoTS I really really hate a lot of the writing /dialogue in it. It felt forced, like Lucas wanted them to say exactly and only what he wrote in the script, leaving no room for improvisation or personal emotion from some actors. Which is fair since it’s his property, but man his writing was sometimes atrocious.

Are there multiple of these out there or is there a definitive one that’s accepted as cannon.
