It’s that time again, the time we all gather together and mock something ridiculous about Star Wars. Yes, we have Sheev jokes. So many Sheev jokes. And also some other stuff, like pumpkins and license plates and kids saying funny stuff. But, c’mon: Sheev.
Coolest thing I've ever seen in a hardware store #DeathStar pumpkin. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/lJYxXB8G7e

My 6YO is exposed more to #StarWars toys than films. During ANH she saw buttons on Vader & said "you press that to make a gum ball come out"

Saw a license plate "CRZYBEN" this morning. I'm taking it as a #StarWars reference and a sign of good things.

@realamandaward: The fact that every franchise feels the compulsion to call itself "the next Star Wars" proves why nothing will beat SW.

He told me the entire story of the new Star Wars movies. And then I told him an idea I have for a funny tweet. pic.twitter.com/oN0x2iNY6O

I'm trying to convince the kids that Vader is a good guy because he stood for order and fought terrorists. #TheyAintBuyingIt #StarWars

Donut Fett is way into Slayer. Been told that Donut Ackbar refuses to go near the box. Thinks its a trap of some sort pic.twitter.com/04guML2m8s

Episode VII and beyond
Wow! I am overwhelmed to hear how pleased you all are that I'm going back to that famous galaxy, far, far away… Thank you @starwars #JJ
— Warwick Davis (@WarwickADavis) October 16, 2014
If Warwick Davis isn't playing Wicket as a snubfighter pilot in Episode VII, the whole movie is a waste.

Today I visited a couple of strange planets with my oldest friend @jtrentadams .
And what I found there was myself… when I was 5.

Can't share much (NDA longer than many novels)… But I can safely say that being on the set of Episode VII was a transcendent experience.
— J. Trent Adams (@jtrentadams) October 16, 2014
That Star Wars scene of Han, Luke, Leia, and Chewie slowly being squashed in the garbage masher accurately depicts the Episode VII build up.

Based on some Age of Ultron reactions, I can't wait for the Episode VII reactions. "Wait, they're in ships again?" "Lightsabers? Really?"

Oh hey, some concept art leaked…
Having inspected the pre-production art for #EpisodeVII, Grand Admiral Thrawn has decided the best way to destroy humanity: comment threads

Padme with a knife on Mustafar – tiny change in costume totally changes characterization, story, motivations. #conceptart #EpisodeVII

I keep hearing people ask "how can a TIE fighter fly sideways?" My answer: how can a TIE fighter fly at all? #StarWarsRebels

Rise of the Old Masters is not only some of the best #StarWarsRebels but also some of the best #StarWars I've seen in a long time.
— Tim Ferrara (@alittlekings) October 21, 2014
#StarWarsRebels is already showing us one of the best things about #StarWars overalll. It's not bound to a single genre. This week was funny

The Expanded Universe
Emperor Palpatine has a first name now. It's Sheev. I mean it's no Savage Opress, but whatevs.
— Sean McDevitt (@sean_mcdevitt) October 16, 2014
Sheev: Marathi word for "boundary" or "dividing point." Not 1st time Indo-Aryan words used in @starwars. Interesting connotation. #starwars
— StarWarsintheClass (@StarWarsinClass) October 16, 2014
Stover isn't writing a new #StarWars novel. That's just as depressing as Palpatine's new first name
— mes520 (@mes520) October 20, 2014
Officially started referring to Palpatine as Sheev in work e-mails. I suppose it's better than my previous term: Palps. #StarWars
— Matt Martin (@missingwords) October 16, 2014
before he was Emperor, Supreme Chancellor, or even Senator, I choose to believe he was simply "Sheev from Accounting".
— Disgrace Detective (@KingofZeroes) October 20, 2014
If my first name were Sheev, I would likely let hate and anger completely consume me too. #StarWars

"Hey guys, can I play Jedi with you?" "Shut up, Sheev! Jedi only have awesome names, don't you know ANYTHING?"

Haven't been able to find a Sexy Sheev costume for Halloween anywhere…
— Jesse Tschopp (@jrtschopp) October 19, 2014
I bet Palpatine's high school nickname was "El Sheevarino." Girls at the swim meet like "he so Sheevalicious in those tiny shorts" #StarWars
— Bobby (@BobbyRobertsPDX) October 14, 2014
I mean, "Sheev" sounds a lot like "shiv", which is kinda what he did to everyone in the prequels? Yeah, I have no idea.
— Nicoltergeist Campos (@camposova) October 17, 2014
If you were named Sheev you would probably go to the dark side and try to take over the galaxy too.
— Brian (@wakingthedead17) October 19, 2014
I hope it's a recurring insult in Episode VII. "Stop being such a sheev. That was super sheevy of you. Sheev is down your sheevhole." #Sheev
— Jackthulunzing (@JacksonLanzing) October 17, 2014
Palpatine's name being revealed as Sheev is a bold move by the EU, hinting he turned to the Dark Side after one too many Starbucks errors
— Shawn Adler (@Lethrup) October 17, 2014
Are people upset about "Sheev" Palpatine? I know it's not a normal name like Obi-Wan or Lando or Anakin, but…
— Jennifer Heddle (@jenheddle) October 17, 2014
Still can't find a Coca-Cola bottle that says "Sheev". #starwars
— Emperor Palpatine (@DarkLordSidious) October 18, 2014
Okay, moving on.
BADASS cover art for Heir to the Empire. Why don't we get cover art this cool?! #SWEU #SWLegends CC: @DelReyStarWars pic.twitter.com/GDKj0hyMTM

Seriously, that is way better than any of the U.S. art.

My 3-yo daughter spent the afternoon calling everything around the house a "scruffy-looking nerf herder." *sniffle* I'm so proud.

Well, we were *supposed* to wrap in a couple of weeks, but it's now day 4 of Hamill's "epic" game of hide & seek and nobody's found him yet.

I love this. I get all tired or whatever and then I think "Sheev" and I basically laugh for five minutes guaranteed.

Saw that great new Heir to the Empire art over at r/StarWars a few weeks back – is that official and will the artist be doing the other two books as well?
