>>64680787

Based Tarkin. He was the old school of the Empire before generics bureaucrats like Typiet come in power by submission to the capital and religion.

>>64680787
Tarkin protects his men even from the crazy religious zealots ruling the Empire. He gets my vote.

Tarkin shows just as much character in episode III as he does in the first one

>>64681189
Yeah desu senpai, General Hux is one of my favorite characters in TFA. He's definitely two dimensional but rightfully so.
I also love how he doesn't give a flying fuck about Kylo Ren. Ren almost looks intimidated by him when he had his helmet off.


Tarkin is the best of those two. I'm very interested to see how his presence is captured in Rouge One.

Piett, but only because I have a thing for naval commanders as opposed to the high command/administrator type that Tarkin was.

Tarkin is the easy answer, I know, but nevertheless, Tarkin. Dude talked shit about Vader and knew that Vader was nothing but a pawn.

New Disney/Marvel EU isn't complete rubbish it seems

You may remember "General Tagge" here from the Death Star boardroom meeting scene, where he is the only one who takes the rebel threat seriously. He also pointedly mentions that if the rebels do indeed have the Death Star plans, they're basically fucked. So in the comics he's sent to investigate Leia's BS claims about a base on Dantooine, which means he wasn't one of the poor souls that went down with Death Star I.
Sheev recognizes and rewards his shrewdness, and makes him the de facto head of the imperial military. He even outranks and orders Vader on several missions. So far he's still alive in the Vader comics which are between IV & V right now

Is this even a question? Tarkin was like Pershing. Piett was just a guy who got his promotions because his superiors died. He was just a whiny bitch.

I think it looks good. Convincing enough for what little screen time he had and no dialogue.

I read somewhere that they were planning on remaking Tarkin with CGI in Rouge One. Apparently the animators were having a tough time capturing his whole body as in A New Hope, all of Cushings shots were from the waste up. Cause his boots didn't fit and he had to wear slippers the whole time.
So I assume now they have to go back to all his Van Helsing shit to study his movements.

They should really just cast someone who can pull him off ala Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan.

Cushing had a normal if somewhat angular face until his mid thirties when it looked like he decided eating was a hobby rather than a form of sustenance, leading to the sunken cheeks. This is relatively important to modeling him younger.

He had a number of unsuccessful years as an actor before the 1950s, so I wouldn't rule out impoverishment as an influence.

Jerjerrod
When the emperor commands him to blow up the moon of Endor if the Rebels take control... he realizes that there are several battalions of their own men down there.

You can sense the conflict. Down there are good soldiers, good officers, all under his command. Not only is he conflicted at the loss and waste of firing on their own men, he likely knows many of the officers leading those battalions personally, perhaps some are even friends.
But he's a loyal officer and so even though he is personally conflicted at the order coming from the Emperor, he respects the chain of command and is fully prepared to carry out the Emperor's orders.

Why this shit got cut I'll never understand.

I'm doing my best to keep an open mind on that topic, but i guess we'll see.

Honestly Snoke was scary af tbqfh family. Just hope they work on the CGI a little for the next film.

I didn't think snoke was scary at all. They showed him too much too soon for him to be scary.
A villain who pulls the strings from the shadows is only scary or effective if he remains in said shadows.

For that reason I hope Snoke is a Red Herring.

Yeah I wouldn't mind if they go back and touch up his CGI when they start selling TFA for DVD/Blu-Ray

I thought he looked like Azog from the hobbit
