consider he ’s a main character in the Star Wars saga , it ’s pretty freaky that Emperor Palpatine has give way over three decades with zero but a surname to his , err , name . But a fresh Star Wars novel coming out plans to bring out his forename for the very first time – and it ’s really dumb .
A panel for the recent freeing of Star war : A New Dawn at NYCC revealed the name would début in Tarkin , a Modern Holy Writ due out next calendar month by James Luceno . However , it seems a substance abuser over atWookieepediahas nabbed an early review copy of the novel and find out Palpatine ’s name – allegedly ground on page 93 of the novel , according to the source .
So drumroll please , Emperor Palpatine ’s new name is …
…
Sheev !
Err , yeah . Ol’Sheev Palpatine . Look , just be grateful it was n’t Bernard , okay ?
Take this with a apprehension of common salt , as of grade Wookieepedia is a database that can be edited by anyone , so this could all be an elaborated joke someone made to capitalize on the news at NYCC – but at the same fourth dimension , ‘ Sheev ’ kinda fit in dividing line with Star Wars ’ cockeyed names for people . I mean , this is the universe that ’s given usJagged Fel , Mon Mothma , Elan Sleazebaggano ( oh I ’m sorry , ElanSel’Sabagno),Finis ValorumandSavage Opress . I signify hell , even that one fashion plate who run through Cloud City with an ice cream manufacturer has a goddamn name ( that’sWillrow Hoodto you , fact fans ) . Sheev seems practically normal considering some of the goofy names float around in the galaxy far , far away .
While Wookieepedia is sticking to its rootage , we wo n’t really know if The Emperor ’s name really is Sheev until Tarkin releases on November 4th – but betting odds are , it ’s probable to be true .
And very , very silly . Do n’t forget that bit , either .
