Your the chosen one

Peter Cushing who had very large feet found his boots extremely uncomfortable. He convinced Lucas to mainly film him from the waist up so he could wear more comfortable shoes so in most of his scenes he was actually wearing house slippers which just cracks me up.

So basically, Palpatine respected Tarkin, so he gave him permission to wear slippers on the Death Star.

I would have noted that for a while, Tarkin did change for the better during the Clone Wars. He did learn some compassion and true sense of justice during that time despite not liking how the Jedi did things. After all, the Tarkin of the Empire wouldn't have bat an eye about nearly sentencing an innocent person (Ahsoka) to death like Clone Wars Tarkin did.

I always kinda figured that “sparing” Ahsoka was something that Tarkin later looked back on with regret, especially since she ended up being a pain in the empires side like most rouge/lost jedi.

I wouldn't go as far as to calling it compassion and sense of justice, but he wasn't a complete monster back then.

It's worth noting that even Vader was shocked by Tarkin blowing up Alderaan. Tarkin also successfully took down Vader during their mutually agreed hunt in the Darth Vader comics.

I knew Sidious respected Tarking. Always has that feeling from him

According to previously released content (West end games' D6 Star Wars) Tarkin was in fact force sensitive (As was Han), but lacked any sort of education of the matter.

Sate Pestage was probably the closest thing Palpatine had to a friend. Wish he was in the movies, or at least in a canon animated tv series. Legends Sate Pestage was Grand Vizier to Palpatine.

Tarkin would make a Great Sith if he had the Force

You’re doing a really good job, I’ve learned a lot from you.

This is actually incorrect. Sidious might have “enjoyed” Tarkin for a time but in the end was so glad to see him perish on the destruction of the Death Star.

I always thought Grand Admiral Thrawne was the favorite of the Empire but i guess Palps was just too xenophobic to admire Thrawne’s accomplishments hence Tarkin being the face of the Imperial military

Honestly, I don’t think Palpatine was xenophobic. Much of the empire’s xenophobia came from the bureaucracy (who palpatine did pretend to be xenophobic for to keep in line such as when he pretended to view thrawn as subhuman). Rather, based on the rise of figures like thrawn, Bertroff Hissa, Mas Amedda, Sly Moore, the Grand Inquisitor, Jerec, etc., I don’t think palpatine cared at all about species, the only thing he cared about was who could benefit him, because in the end his superiority complex was exclusive to him in that he saw himself as above all other beings.

@@Sultan_Vader_VI He is KNOWN as being xenophobic. The Imperials all being human is no accident. Thrawn is one of those very rare exceptions due to his unmatched gift for strategy which served the Empire well. And yet still it's Tarkin who is held in the highest regard.

I remember the first time I saw Tarkin I was 9 years old. Even when I didn't know what it was to be cold I somehow knew he was cold.

Tarkin was the dude that got things done.

You know who could have and should have played Tarkin in Rogue One? Christopher Plummer. Christopher had much the same screen presence and steely gaze as Peter Cushing, and Chris was still alive for a few more years at the time of production. So I think it would have been a fitting choice, despite the differences in voice.

Nice one always

The movies are severely lacking in the depth of their characters. Tarkin had a strong presence (on camera), but these stories of his past make him ever more intimidating. 😳

Then Palpatine disses the fuck out of Tarkin when he found out he let the Deathstar get destroyed.

The story is tragic he tried to do the right thing for the Republic and when he realized the leaders were inept he panicked and fell from Grace

Sidious respects ruthlessness and ambition, and Tarkin has that in droves.

Fantastic!

Grand Moff Tarkin may have been a cold calculating and callus person but he was right about one thing: The Jedi were not fit to lead a war they were meant to be peacekeepers not soldiers leading a war and his belief in their code of ethics and dogmatic ways made them weak which of course was true

Then he completely lost that respect after "Tarkin's Folly".

Make a video explaining how strong you'd think he be if he'd was a sith giving his character 👀🫨

Tarkin was ruthless from the moment I saw him in Star Wars but my mind was blown even more when they showed his character in the clone wars… Dude was throwing left and right hooks at The Jedi with no force ability

I kinda want to see a live action Tarkin in Andor doing the Ghorman Massacre

The only difference between Palpatine and Tarkin was that one was able to touch the force and draw immense levels of power from it and the other was just an average guy.

Don't forget about his fondness for slippers! 1:19

Hey Stupendous! Big fan. Could you by chance drop your background music for this upload???

Cartoon Peter Cushing getting in knife fights is just ridiculous.

Tarkin's Earth counterpart, horror legend, Peter Cushing... doesn't need the Force!

Pretty sure that Thrawn also fits the title

I will never get used to Tarkin's first name. XD

What about Mas Amedda?

I can respect tarkin just like Thrawn as cold as he is i think that is the kind of person you want in charge of ending a war. the more a war drags on the more die. same logic used when the a bomb was dropped. honestly, i think the galaxy was more stable under sidious even though life was cheaper. community is in between tyranny and freedom

My headcannon is that Palpatine would have made Tarkin the Emperor if he ever chose to step back.

Not a fan of the esp setting. I actually turn it off and I play m&k. But I find it's easier to aim without it

He was simply HIM

No wonder Palpatine liked him. He's a psychopathic,sadistic tyrant like him. No matter the family. May the Force be with you too

But he also respected another one that was Thrawn

I would say he also respects GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN TOO! DUH

Did he not leave his brother to die?

Why are the titels always the only jedi he respected the only non force sensetive he respected. But than there are 20 videos about 20 diffrent characters he respected. Just Say one of the few and the video still makes the same clicks

Makes me hate him more.

Like Hitler, he was to much in charge. To much of one idea. Nazi-ideology. Tarkin was to much of one idea. His doctrine. To much of one thing means you are to little of everything else. Like an equalizer is to be adjusted to music, every situation is to be administered with the just right amount of what it takes to win the day. Not, What you believe, what gets your rocks off! The mask had fallen with the first use of the Death Star. Everyone knew the truth that the Sith were in power. Tarkin made the Rebel alliance grow so big that the Dark side, the side that feeds on hate, was in danger. The people feared it so much it made them brave.
