"Evacuate?! In our moment of triumph?"

>wearing your cover indoors
Fucking dropped.
They called him "Big Balls" Tarkin for a reason.
>>64495632
I loved Tarkin in the original movie. His holier than thou superiority and orderliness was great.

Tarkin was GOAT. Shame he died after the first one
>>64495632
>"Evacuate?! In our moment of triumph?"
Sounds like a good idea.
>>64496412
But then we got based Cpt. Admiral Piett.
>>64495632
Tell that to Kanjiklub.
>>64496412
The book isn't bad if you like his character that much.
>>64496444
Piett reminds me a little bit like my old boss
>>64496412
Cushing liked the role and regretted being killed off
>>64496444
**ADMIRAL**
If he evacuated and the Rebels actually did manage to destroy the Death Star, he'd be humiliated and lose any future command at best or be tortured and executed by the Emperor at worst, depending on how mad Sheev was.
If he evacuated and the Death Star still managed to destroy the base, he'd look like a coward and a moron.
Staying on and risking death was the only logical option
Imperials were GOAT desu
>>64495632
I like him. He bosses around Vader.
Cushing brought some much needed gravitas and acting chops to the movie. It's too bad he didn't become an iconic villain like Vader and Jabba the Hutt did, but I guess it's hard to stand out in pop culture as a sinister old British guy with no goofy costume or similar character gimmick
>>64495632
Why the fuck does he need 4 pens?
Target, maximum firepower!
>>64496750
i had no idea
>>64495811
He ran the fucking show. Telling Vader to knock off choking that grunt... awesome.
I mean it was Peter Cushing so of course it was going to be a great performance.
Went down with his ship like a captain should, as well.
Amazing in Star Wars.
>>64495660
He's Navy, on a bridge, on official duty.
>>64497022
They're id containers
>>64497022
Because these fuckers haven't been invented yet in the Star Wars universe.
Our ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, my Lord. But, it has entered an asteroid field and we cannot risk

>>64497253
>looking for the stolen plans was just a ruse by Vader so he could find his old buddy 3PO
asshole stormtroopers had to blow him up in ESB so he doesn't recognize it when they finally reunite
>>64495811
>>64496412
>>64497118
agree. I like the new guy too, he fits the role of "power hungry loser thats being manipulated" very well.
Reminder that Luke killed 2 million people
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Yavin
>>64497022
he wields them just like how general grievous wields lightsabers, splitting each arm in two so he can sign four supply requisitions simultaneously. It's the only way to keep a station as big as a moon adequately supplied
>>64497245
Arse-droids do not concern me, Admiral!
>tfw a prequel film about Tarkin will never be made
>>64497530
Isn't the first EU book released under disney canon about Tarkin?
>>64497453
Reminder that the Empire killed billions of Imperial citizens who had nothing to do with the Rebellion.
>>64497585
Yes, but it's not enough
I want the further adventures of best Imperial officer
>>64497585
Yeah, it's the only Star Wars book I've read and I enjoyed it.
This guy was based
>>64497530
>>64497585
The new Rouge One movie is about Tarkin though.
>http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/aug/24/star-wars-rogue-one-to-resurrect-peter-cushing-via-cgi-despite-slipper-issues
I wonder why they killed him off.

U wot m8

>>64498256
as long as he isn't referred to as Space Jesus anymore, it's fine.
god I really want Disney to remake the prequels without all the George Lucas bullshit

What is this?
>>64497071
God dammit Imperial uniforms are so fucking cool
>>64495632
Shame they never met.
>>64498357
Deleted scene where he tells Vader to take a hike, Sheev is busy.
>>64498376
Not onscreen, but in the novel Dooku and Tarkin are good friends
>>64498398

I can see why they ditched these.
>>64495632
The star wars radio drama implies he was going to stage a coup against the emperor, even his own officer's were pushing him to take control. Pretty intetesting but i get why it was cut from the movie for pacing issues
>>64497412
>"Look, sir, droids." -Stormtrooper on Tatooine, upon finding a washer or some shit
Was Threepio leaving a breadcrumb trail for his master?
>>64495632
How come the First Order reused all the stormtrooper uniforms but changed their other uniforms? oh yeah nazis bad
>>64498163
Also they're stealing the death star plans for the fucking ten billionth time. Granted all of the old plan thefts aren't canon now but Jesus fuck create a new plot device you fucking hacks.
>>64495811
Tarkin is the best Star Wars villain. I hate how the Sith completely stole the show, and the Empire reduced to just being Sith puppets. Tarkin has no magic powers, can't fight with a light saber, cant' do any silly flips. BUt he's so god damn cool.
A military commander with a giant death star.
My Lord, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed. ComScan has detected an energy field protecting an area of the sixth planet of the Hoth system. The field is strong enough to deflect any bombardment.
>>64498376
>immediately goes for the high ground
Holy fuck, the poetry is unlimited!
>>64495811
so much better than that prissy boy Hux
>>64498514
Tora Tora Tora: The Battle of Endor
>>64495811
He's great and I like him more than Vader. They should have made Hux more like Tarkin instead making him a teenager.

what book?
>>64503170
Tarkin.
>>64503170
Star Wars: Tarkin. It made me like the character a lot more. It's canon, if you care about those kinda things.
>>64495632
>Evacuate
>>64503190
Right, thanks anon!
>>64496577
GENERAL
>>64496750

>reading star wars books
>>64503302
It's the only one I've ever read or been interested in. I read a ton of books so it's not like it cut into my literature.
>>64503302
fuck off laddy
>>64503224
It's technically correct. He didn't say "evacuate the personnel," so one would infer he meant "evacuate the station."
>>64495660
Navy has some weird space cadet standards
>>64499421
Most people that have seen the movies never read any of the books. Besides there were 8 fuckin million books, obviously they would cover a lot of ground. They made the old universe no longer canon so they didn't have to held down by it, which is apparently what you'd like to see.
>>64502846
That wasn't on the death star
>>64497459
truly a masterful officer.
>>64496750
Yeah imperials didnt become comedic until rotj
Tarkin was a badass, but got defeated at the last moment
Veers was a badass, he waltzed his walker into the rebel base without a sweat
>>64498514
So.why didnt the death star blow up the moon?
>>64504023
Because they have several battalions stationed on the moon.
>>64504049
But he said fire at it and they charged the gun
>>64504023
Because the death star blew up before they could fire.
>>64504088
Mutiny maybe? Star Wars: Crimson Tide edition
>>64504088
It was similar to how Luke blew the first DS just as it was about to shoot. Lando/Sheev took it out before they could pull the trigger.
