In my personal canon, Palpatine’s first name isn’t the “Empirically Bad™” Sheev.

It’s a bad name even as Star Wars names go.

It’sy he ever referred to as Sheev in the movies? Or is that from the EU?

It’s from the new canon eu. From the novel Tarkin.

Damn, that name snokes.

I don’t really remember a time when Frink was ever a dick to someone after they shared a personal story about why they don’t appreciate certain words or references uttered in their presence.

Freckles wasn’t “sharing a story”. He was ghoulishly exploiting a remote personal tragedy and using as a weapon to shut down rational discourse by painting all opposing positions and attitudes as “beyond the emotional pale.” And he didn’t respond to the (entirely innocuous use of a colorful and applicable) word with a gentle request that people conform their language to the dainty sensibilities of godly and virtuous maidens. No, instead he immediately lashed out by upping the ante of coarse language to the supermax, inflated by a repulsive air of vulgar self-righteousness and infantile petulance, confident that his flailing outburst would be the last word on the subject because----what? Bad things have only happened to him?
Anyway, it is a tried and tested techniques of all ideological factions, but that doesn’t make it admirable or even decent. It’s a crass manipulative trick, and I ain’t fallin’ for it.

I enjoy the way TV Freak does nothing but insult and deride people, but when the tables are turned he froths with base profanity and tries to shout everyone down by asserting some irrelevant personal experience that he believes gives him the moral high ground.
If someone calls him an “ugly Gungan,” he’ll be all like: "TRIGGER!!! OPPRESSOR!! My Grandmother was a Gungan, and she DIED! In like, the holocaust!!! F@^ you you f&^%ing $#^%@$#^%@$#^%@$#^%@$#^%@*!!!
In fact, he’ll occasionally interject that way even if someone calls JarJar Binks an “ugly Gungan!” because he’s such an irrepressible umbrage-taker. It’s all quite random and delightful.
All-dishin’-no-takin’. Textbook bully.

well it is a gas giant

Okay so now that you’ve forced me to do outside research, it looks like what is believed to be the biggest known rocky planet is 2.35x Earth’s radius, while Jupiter is 11x, and there are some theories about the upper limits of terrestrial-planets’ mass/size. So maybe flametitan knew all that, but really, he should spell out his reasoning a little more.

TV’s Frink said:

“Technically correct” does not equal “appropriate.”

So is your bizarre offense because you are so pro-life you take aimless umbrage at the mere homonymous invocation of the word “abortion,” or because you’re such a raging, misguided, attack-first-think-never SJW that you just assume “regressive” meaning to every utterance?

This one is truly puzzling.

Do not forget it’s the size of Jupiter, rather than a Desert planet. I’m still waiting for the Earth sized discoveries before I make analogies to Tatooine.

Lol it’s not a scientific analogy. It’s just a “hey cool, this planet has two Suns like Tattooine.”

I’m still trying to figure out why “the size of Jupiter” and “desert planet” are by definition mutually exclusive…?

The volcano duel has been part of my Star Wars narrative for as long as I can remember. My mother relayed it to me.

…and it was that way: the folk wisdom was passed down from Mother to son, down through the generations, until the mightly tale of the tragic SITH LORD™ DARTH VADER™ had spread to every planet throughout the Galaxy far, far away, and even beyond----to our very own Milky Way, when, a long, long time after the fateful events, an Angel™ did tell th’ Tale, full and true, to the one and only True Prophet™, the TEACHER™, GEORGIE-POO LUCA$H, and did tell unto him to spread the Tale far and wide, using picture-screens, so that the people of Earth might learn from DARTH VADER’S downfall, and not be doomed to repeat His Folly!
