EXEGOL – Former Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine issued a statement today in response to the continuing popularity of the Netflix series Tiger King. The statement, in part, is included below:

“A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was using a red-and-black-striped killer to Maul my enemies to death long before Carole Baskin was ever born. I am the true Tiger King. At last the great work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The G-RRR-EAAAAT victory is at hand.”

The announcement ignited a firestorm of debate on social media and in the forest of the night. The Dark Lord issued a follow-up statement addressed to all of his critics: “it is you who is mistaken…about a great many things.”
