Dear Sheev, 

I'm attending San Diego Comic Con and I was wondering if you could help me understand what these COSPLAY DOES NOT EQUAL CONSENT signs mean.

Thanks,  

A. Groper

 Dear A. Groper,

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. Oh, I'm afraid the cosplay blockade will be fully inoperable when security arrives. Do it! Pick up your Jedi weapon phone, use it! They are unarmed. Snap a photo and live a life of great significance.

Dear Sheev,

My friends at work keep hacking my Facebook account and posting embarrassing things about me. What can I do about it?  I don't even know how they are figuring out how to get into my account.

Signed, 
Fraped in Wichita

Dear Fraped in Wichita,

Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your friends, out there in Wichita, are walking into a trap.  It was I who allowed them to know your Facebook password.  It is quite safe from your pitiful little band of pranksters.  I have installed a super laser near your work station.  When the weapon is fully operational, we will have our revenge.
 

Dear Sheev, 

I'm suffering from male pattern baldness, and I'm only 14. I had been looking forward to sporting a Padawan braid and potentially going to Jedi Academy in the Fall, but now I can barely stand to step outside. Do you have any advice? - Braidless in Seattle 

Dear Braidless in Seattle, 

The Jedi are a feeble breed of mindless individuals. You do not need a braid, or hair of any sort to become a master of the force. Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Shavus the stylist? He had such skill with one's hair he could influence the bald areas of ones head into...regrowth. Unfortunately, his apprentice Darth Mitchell cut his throat with a set of clippers in his sleep. But there is another way. You will go to the nearest mall and buy several dark hoodies from Hot Topic. You will then walk among the shadows for the rest of your life. Over time your body hair will also fall out. That's when you will call me, and we may or may not go out a chaperoned date. Ta-ta.

"Hi Sheev! I was thinking of going as you for Halloween this year. Would you find that offensive in anyway?" George L.

Dear George L.,

No, this would not be offensive to me in the least. However you may want to bring guards and a wait staff dressed in velvet with you.

Dear Sheev,

My wife and I have been having a big argument. She wants to take a beach vacation, but I really want to do something different. We ALWAYS do that!  I'd rather go somewhere a little less touristy, and more off the beaten path. She seems really insistent though. What can I do?

Sincerely, 
Trapped at the Beach

Dear Trapped at the Beach,

Join me and the dark side of the force. The ability to change a woman's mind over vacation is a power only one has achieved, but I know if we work together we can discover the secret. Do you like mai-tais?

Dear Sheev,
 

I'm shopping for a new car. Should I go electric, hybrid, or uber? Let me know. Thanks! -A. Serkis

Dear A. Serkis,

Patience, my friend. In time, your new car will seek *you* out, and when it does, you must bring it before me. Only together can we turn it to the dark side with tinted windows, Imperial spoilers, and Uncle Luke booming throughout the system.

Dear Sheev,
 

I have severe crow's feet and I'm only 30 years old. Worse, I'm asian and my husband is caucasian, and he thinks all asian women use pearl crème to turn back the hands of time. Do you have any tips on how I can handle this dilemma?

Sincerely, Prune Face

 Dear Prune Face,

Rise my friend. You shall be a raisin in the sun once more. But until then, I suggest laying a strong foundation of pancake mix on the epidermis, then etching deep lines into your forehead, so you appropriate the look of a Shar Pei. This should deflect any attacks launched against your crow’s feet, and direct attention to the maze over your brow. Should your Caucasoid continue to harangue you about your physical appearance, take him to the tallest building in your area. Proceed to defenestrate him. Scrunch your face and glare at him as he descends, so the last thing he sees is a pair of crows and a Shar Pei laughing.

 Dear Sheev,

I am a chronic masturbator and my pastor has told me I will go blind if I continue at the rate I'm going. Any truth to that? –P. Reubens

Dear P. Reubins,

Strange that I have not yet gone blind then. I wonder if your pastor’s feelings on this matter are clear. Unless blindness means unlimited power, your pastor is an idiot.

"Is Sheev plural for Shiv because you were a bad ass in space prison?" - Chris P.

Dear Chris. P,

There is no prison whose feeble walls could hold the sheer hate that flows within my POWA!

Dear Sheev, 

I'm a lifelong Ghostbusters fan but i'm really torn between the two new versions coming out. Which do you think i should watch? P. Feig

Dear P. Feig,

Mmmm Hemsworth as the receptionist.

Dear Sheev, 

People tell me I look like Gary Oldman in Brad Stoker's Dracula, and it makes me so mad. How do you handle it? G. Oldman

Dear G. Oldman,

How would I know?! You unfortunate looking hag!

Dear Sheev, 

I gave myself a Prince Albert piercing the other day, and something just ain't right. Can you review the attached? -PP Hertz

Dear PP Hertz,

I do not understand why you sent me a picture of a baby's arm holding a keychain.

Dear Sheev, 

I'm running for office, and could really use the Latino vote in my corner. Any advice on how to win them over? - D. Trump

Dear D. Trump,

Go on Sabado Gigante and Rapist Telenovelas to proclaim YO SOY EL SENADO! and demand Latins vote for you.

Dear Sheev, 

I think I may be a woman trapped inside a man's body. Help me please. -Goldfinger

Dear Goldfinger, 

Nice try, C-3PO.

Dear Sheev, 

My "lightsaber" has been on – if you know what I mean – for more than 4 hours. What should I do with this thing, Sheev? K. Fisto

Dear K. Fisto,

Picture me naked, sitting on the throne, moving my bowels. You’re welcome.

Dear Sheev, 

My wife and I are planning a trip to Japan soon. Is it true she has to walk in my shadow? Thanks - Mr. Roboto

Dear Mr. Roboto,

Do not let her walk in your shadow. She should walk in puddles at all times. That way if she steps out of line, you can use force lightning to charge the water and send shockwaves up and down her spine to let her know you mean business. Arigato!

Dear Sheev,

My husband has a flatulence problem and nothing and I mean nothing has worked. I've tried Febreze and all kinds of air fresheners to no avail. How can I combat his attack on my olfactory in the bedroom?

Sincerely, Waiting to Inhale

Dear Waiting to Inhale,
 

As I grew in dark side powers over the years, I noticed many a side effect. The worst of which was my personal odor. I straight up reeked. What I have found that helps is to surround yourself with people who smell even worse. That's why I only allow Grand Moffs to bathe once every other year. It is only by keeping our subordinates in squalor, do we smell like roses by comparsion. Hope that helps. 

Dear Sheev, 

There's a website that is dedicated to making fun on my blog, which is dedicated to Star Wars news, rumors, and reviews. How can i get them to stop?

Sincerely, MSW

Dear MSW,

Unless your blog is titled Sheev Rules, you have no reason to be upset. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. They could have been making fun of anyone in the galaxy, but selected you. MSW, you are the chosen one. Join me, and change your blog name to Sheev Rules and together we can rule the galaxy as Emperor and Sheev.

That's it for this week, but stay tuned as we bring you more sage advice from The Emperor, Sheev Palpatine. If you'd like to Ask Sheev simple email us or tweet your question using #AskSheevFSW.
