The fact that I inspire schadenfreude within you is evidence of a great bitterness tbh. Let's try to identify the source: is it the irrelevance of Bane, Nihilus, or Vitiate? Of all the above?

Wow that would be equally horrible. I would be bothered by a new big bad surpassing Sidious in power yet it would be bearable but as mentioned earlier, f'ing with his position as the ultimate mastermind would be s***ing on the entire storyline.
Going toe-to-toe with quan has diminished what little patience and stability you had left, DP. Coming into random threads to try to troll me and engaging Selenial with open hostility... it's almost like our words are getting to you.
Oh, it's not irritating at all! I very much enjoy how much you're affected by my words and opinions. Might as well have made your avatar a big red bullseye.
I know. Because you're a class A Stalker. Constantly seeking my attention.
You have a picture of me with a big red bullseye which you throw darts at every time you think of all the times I've embarrassed your speculative attempts at arguments which you spent months coming up with.
Using Palpatine to achieve your own ends doesn't make you a better manipulator or more important than him, tbh. It's possible Snoke was profiting on the smaller scale side while Palpatine enjoyed the fruits of the galaxy tbh.

You could make the argument that the lowliest Microsoft janitor is "using" Bill Gates in that he's employed and earning a paycheck off the man while Gates prolly doesn't even know he exists. Doesn't mean the two are close to one another in any respect.
Same with phytoplankton and a humpback whale.
Sheev is operating on a galaxywide level of influence, directly or indirectly involving the lives of every single one of its inhabitants. I imagine there are plenty of people who "used him."
So yeah everyone Snoke > Palpatine all but confirmed now

I wouldn't be surprised if Abrams took the route that Snoke manipulated Palpatine and is stronger than him. I hope he does Force Storms and Luke does a Planet sized Wall of Light
