I examine the morphologies of the brightest planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Milky Way Galaxy and conclude that violent binary interaction processes eject the main nebulae of the brightest PNe. The typical morphologies of the brightest PNe are multipolar, namely have been shaped by two or more major jet-launching episodes at varying directions, and possess small to medium departures from pure point symmetry. I discuss some scenarios, including a rapid onset of a common envelope interaction and the merger of the companion, mainly a white dwarf, with the asymptotic giant branch core at the termination of the common envelope. Some of these might be progenitors of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), as I suggest for SNR G1.9+0.3, the youngest SN Ia in the Galaxy.
