It doesn't matter to me. Its about time they abandoned the OT/PT storyline for new territory altogether, if he's more powerful than the Emperor and is a unique character its fine by me.
Gideon can go blow the old man, and ride him while watching Revenge of the Sith

Well as long as he's uber powerful they'll be no way to know for sure. It's not like this new Sith will ever go up against Yoda, or the older Luke against Palpatine.
I'll love it when the new Villain surpasses Palpatine and Gideon slits his wrists:

Don’t see how it’s disrespectful TBH. Palpatine’s big thing is that he is an expert manipulator not that he was a great warrior. Anyway, I have little doubt that they will respect the OT, the PT on the other hand…
As a side note, Snoke’s code name was “Uber” which could be a hint to his power level.
I kind of hope it's true just so I could see Tempest's reaction. Half a decade of ranting about Sidious being the most important guy ever getting completely shat on makes for some primo comedy.
Considering how interconnected Vitiate is with the rest of the EU, having him be the villain would basically make them de-canonising the pre-PT canon pointless.
The rage I continue to inspire in you plebes is most gratifying.
You seem bitter. Does your jealousy regarding Sheev's supremacy in the Star Wars rogues gallery owe to the fact that one really cares about Vitiate, Bane, or Nihilus?
The only thing you inspire is liquid diarrhea coming out of my ass. You honestly think that Disney gives a lick about Palpatine's power? Hello, earth to Gideon not everyone worships the wrinkle-faced failure that you do- I honestly hope Snoke is 00ber and then you have to make 3 page Legend-esque posts wanking and defending your fallen savior when Snope takes a dump on him from being the number 1 Darksider:
