Comments
In Legends, Sidious acknowledged him as capable of killing him, and certainly a threat to him. Jedi believed that Sidious would be a fool not to fear him. Keep in mind that Sidious is constantly referred to in Legends as the most powerful Sith. Vader in Legends is on Palpatine's level In canon, he lost no potential on Mustafar, and his connection to the Dark Side actually strengthened. Sidious has complimented his abilities as unparalleled. Twice, he has recieved visions of him striking down the Emperor, and his visions to tend to have an element of truth to them. Vader isn't on Sidious' level here. Sidious is close to Vader's level
