Star Wars: Tarkin

Tarkin is shaping up to be a pretty decent read. It also reveals Palpatine's incredibly weird first name.

Well...?

Spoiler:
It's Sheev.

What? Surprised they didn't go with Cos or Cosinga.

That's actually the most depressing thing I've read in a long time. And I just read a book about how westerners destroyed Brazilian culture.

Yeah, it's a hilariously bad name. But given Lucas's subtlety in later years, a friend pointed out it could have been worse: Eevul Palpatine.

Lucas came up with the name? Huh, I should have realized.

Yup. They got it from him. It was apparently written in the story treatments for the prequels but Lucas never used it. So they decided to.

That name... -.-

I'm sorry, Sheev? ROFL*($&@(*$&@(*$&@*($@

I can't look at the most powerful sith lord of all time the same anymore. "Come at me, Sheev". Wow, horrible.

So why do you guys hate Indians?

As I've said elsewhere, I'm pretty sure we now have the real reason Sidious murdered the fvck out of his family.

Best part about this name is that it's canon forever... new canon ftw. 😈

Forget his family, his rise towards the darkside and general disdain towards everything finally makes sense.

I wonder if anyone excused themselves to "take a Sheev" in front of Palps....

Shame Revan will never be... 💃

Thats ok. At least Revan's name isn't Sheev.
