So is Superman.

Since you cannot prove the Rogue Shadow had engaged its hyperdrive before Palpatine grabbed itSpoiler:,
which it didn't, because when he did it was landing to pick up Starkiller [3:10] (note the goddamn landing gear)
Spoiler:
WTF. When Palpatine grabbed it, the Rogue Shadow clearly moves to break his hold and escape. It fails to do so.

[b]that it engaged them while Palpatine spun it like a toy,
What's your point? I didn't say Palpatine could immobilize Superman when Superman is moving faster than the speed of light; but it's clear that once Palpatine has him in a Force grip, Superman won't be able to do shit.
Yeah, I went there!

that this ending is canonSpoiler:,
because it's not
Spoiler:
It's non-canon because it didn't happen in the official continuity; that doesn't mean the display of power itself is out of the realm of Palpatine's abilities. Especially when one considers the fact that the dark side ending is contingent solely on a different personal choice made by Starkiller, we have no choice but to accept the power itself as canon.

that even if Palpatine could grab him before being slapped into
atomic dustSpoiler:
he can't
This is more or less like suggesting that Yoda will break Asajj Ventress's neck if they fought. He could, but he won't. Superman will try conventional means to subdue his enemy; Palpatine will simply use the Force to immobilize him.

he could withstand Superman's incalculably powerful heat vision while attempting to keep him from accelerating to superluminal speeds, or that Palpatine isn't gay, I submit to you that you must STFU.
I didn't say Palpatine would win; I said he could hold Superman.

We can toss SW a bone and give then O'neal.
See, the main difference between SG1 and ST is that SG1 didn't forget 99% of its asspulls and its asspulls were far grander.
The Replicators were defeated because of Deus Ex Machina. A level 3-4 on the Kardashev scale civilization's Legacy defeated them.
Thing is, the ancients were even more incompetent than anybody could claim the Forerunners ever were. But they also left more disastrous messes.

Spoiler:
The ship attempting to escape does not equate to it activating its hyperdrive, which is not an instantaneous process and likely requires that the pilots have their faces free of unwanted circuitry, metal, and brains immediately after being jerked around while very clearly not attempting to accelerate to lightspeed.

Spoiler:
Those are both retarded.
This is despite the fact that Superman can move at the speed of fvcking light, and therefore is unlikely to allow Palpatine the time to register his presence in the first place.

And he has.
Yoda cannot travel multiple orders of magnitude faster than Ventress can, exert multiple orders of magnitude more pressure than Ventress can, emit incalculable levels of heat energy from his eyes, or freeze things with his breath.

You will cease, or I will have you raped. I have blacks on my payroll.
Superman can take solar-system and sometimes even galaxy destroying blasts - A force storm won't do shit to him. 😬
And just to clarify - Supes can travel not only at the speed of light, but several times the speed of light. He can move from the earth to the sun in seconds, whereas light takes eight minutes.

Superman can move [faster than] the speed of fvcking light, and therefore is unlikely to allow Palpatine the time to register his presence in the first place.
