    I don't know where this information or quote come from, but are you sure they mean "fearful"? This would mean that Snoke is scared. I think it would make more sense that Snoke is "fearsome", meaning he inspires fear in others.

    I think they got it right with Fearful. He is deathly afraid of a new Jedi rising.

    This is the event that interests me alot, but is indeed masked in the story (in the Novel Aftermath Empire's end).

    As you know In the Jakku's planet core which already hold significant amount of Light Force energy ( that made Palpatine desgust), a powerfull reaction has been ignited by Rax throwing Tashu and Sith artifacts into that same Jakku's planet core, trough a shaft.

    That reaction was indended to cause epic explosion of the planet , however it has been stopped, or better to say contained by Rae Sloane who managed to seal the shaft that leeds to the core.

    However, the reaction started, it realy started in the form of powerfull burst of Force energy.

    I wonder, what happened with that contained Force energy in Jakku's core, with that reaction. I believe definitely Jakku became even stronger Force anomaly, and thus helped hide Rey from Snoke, but indeed, what realy happened ?

    Or it formed Snoke himself. Wasn't one of the Artifacts a Palpatine Sith Holocron? Don't those things carry the force essence of those who create them?

    FEARFUL?!?!? Are you trying to say he is scary (that would be frightening or fear-inducing, not fearful)? or that he is scared of someone?

    In TFA, Snoke certainly seemed fearful of Luke and the possible rise of the New Jedi.

    Plagueis was fearful of losing his power, according to Palpy.

    If you could cheat death that would in fact be the only thing you'd be fearful of.

    If Snoke is Plagueis, it would make a great deal of sense that he is fearful of the Jedi and Luke since they might be the only remaining beings in the known galaxy that could find a way for him to lose his power to cheat death (especially if all the other Sith are now gone). So he's using Kylo to kill Luke and other Jedi and then he'll promptly dispose of Kylo.

    That word is in original rumor, fearful. Not fearsome or something like that.

    "Fans will find Snoke is more fearful than the Emperor".

    I think it means he will be more scarry than Darth Sidious, like more perverted in his darkside sorcery and maybe more powerful?

    Though, If I think about it more, personaly most fearful thing I found in Emperor from original trilogy was his ability to see things in advance and design traps for his enemies(though his greatest trap ,on Endor, was his last ). Maybe Snoke is more fearful in this sense?

    Also, Vader said that Emperor is not as forgiving as him (duh). So in this sense, maybe Snoke is even les forgiving than the Emperor?

    Maybe all those together?

    Fearful can also mean to cause fear, so basically Snoke can cause fear that is greater than Palpatine did.

    Well I am not native English speaker so I checked, and it could mean scared indeed,.

    So maybe it means Snoke is more scared than Palpatine?

    Fortunately, despite I am not English speaker, the human logic is universal, so I believe leak reffers to other use of word fearful I found in dictionary:

    Fearful-"causing or likely to cause fear, fright, or alarm especially because of dangerous quality "

    You're correct. It means whatever type of fears Palpatine caused is nothing compared to what Snoke can induce.

    No, that would be fearsome.

    Fearful can mean inspiring fear, but you wouldn't use it to describe someone deliberately inspiring fear. A fearful accident is the example given on wiktionary for this secondary meaning. You could just about say that Snoke has fearful injuries to his face. They might worry you that the same thing will happen to you or that they will be bad for poor old Snoke's health, but it really can't mean that he's more scarily powerful than Palpatine.

    I don't have a problem with Snoke being scared. Anything that sets him apart from Sidious is probably for the best. I loved the evil manic glee of Sidious, but I can't see how that would work again.

    For me Snoke is mysterious, I want to know more before I judge whether he is more fearsome than Darth Sidious; for all I know he could a clown sitting on a throne.

    We should hope and rejoice if Snoke is fearful,fearsome.What is worth to kill,defeat ,some former Palpatine's Dark side librarian or Dark side prophet,like Pablo Hidalgo obviously thought was very clever?Clever my...ss,we need exactly fearsome Snoke,which will justiffy the mess he made,and make his fall worth of epic Star Wars proportions and legacy.In fact we need Snoke fearsome enough to justiffy entire new trilogy,which means no less capable than Sidious,and no less plausible than Sidious.

    In this case do not know why the source used word fearful.

    Original information text is:

    Fans will found Snoke to be more fearful than the Emperor.

    Guy presumably works(lives near?) Pinewood Studios UK.
    I posted it to debate what this means.It can mean he doesn't know English, let alone subtleties of TLJ.I did not had that impression.
