He shouldn't have done that, because the two trilogies would have contradicted each other. 
You mean they would have contradicted each other more than they already do.

Mace Windu was the second best lightsabre-wielder in the galaxy, first was Yoda.
However, if it comes to the Force, I think Palpatine was the stronger.
Not quite. Mace Windu was the on ewith the lightsabre skills. Yoda was the one with the knowledge of the force.
When Mace and Palpatine are fighting, Mace pretty much toys with him for a bit, then lets him know he's serious when they do that close up shot on his face. After that, he promptly disarms Palpatine by kicking his lightsabre out the window. (which he somehow gets back to fight Yoda with)
Yoda on the other hand, did not have supierority over Palpatine in the lightsabre department. He was agile though. But Yoda's forte was in the force. Where Mace had to use his lightsabre to block force lightning, and eventually got killed by it, Yoda absorbs it in his hands, on two seperate occasions. The last time, on the platform, Yoda even brings the lightning back upon Palpatine, at which point the camera makes a shot of Palpatine going from a cackling looney to actually being afraid. Afterward, the explosion sends Yoda flying because he's smaller, Palpatine has a chance to grab on the edge.
The fact that camera angles and shots were taken of Palpatine in fear of both Yoda and Mace's abilities shows their supieriority over Palpatine in those areas.
