How do they define "near perfect" sphere - is there some acceptable degree of eccentricity?
What if a humongous asteroid hit it and blasted a big crater into it so it was kind of "death star" shaped?
For that matter, what about in Return of the Jedi where the death star II was only half-built? Does that count as "near circular"? Could it have been classified as a planet?
Did orbital plane eccentricity not factor into this at all? Pluto's orbit is way out-of-plane with the rest of the planets.
I always did like Pluto, but the question still remains - what the hell is Goofy?
