- Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, the Imperial Governor of the Outer Rim, lands at the Imperial Complex on the planet Lothal. Upon arrival, he was greeted by Minister Maketh Tua, who was surprised to learn of his visit. Tarkin then proceeded to reprimand her for failing to protect Imperial industrial interests. He then castigated Agent Kallus for allowing a rebel cell to flourish on Lothal. In response, Kallus told Tarkin that he had exhausted every resource to capture them. When Tua informed Tarkin that the rebel leader was a Jedi, the Grand Moff mocked the Grand Inquisitor's incompetence. He also expressed doubt that the rebel leader was a Jedi and asserted that the Jedi had all died. Tarkin then vowed to capture "this criminal" and prove that he was not a Jedi.

Tarkin:"So I heard i'm in a kids show. Lemme just change that."
AleXizzed When Tarkin shows up during a kid's show...
Back to both the movies and The Clone Wars and games days whether it's canon or legends.
The change was well.
When rebel’s is more kids show compare clone wars but take it cannon with clone wars I feel would even made reggurdlees Disney got it or not but with Dave was full in chred
@@captiankirkgames4385 your grammar hurts my eyes
I like how we can see four different levels of evil here:
-Tua was completly horrified
- Kallus was less shocked but still
- Inquisitor was only slighty reluctant about killing his fellow officers
- Tarkin was pleased
Yep
Leszek Korulczyk agreed
Leszek Korulczyk it’s easy to see why Tua soon defected gearing for her life (which they ended up taking anyway) and Kallus began to have doubts leading to his own defection from the Imperial army.
Tua: "This is too evil, even by my standards."
Kallus: "Better them than me."
Inquisitor: "I will do what I must."
Tarkin: "Acceptable losses, and and a strong point made."
Good eye. I didn’t even notice the Inquisitor’s reluctance the first time around. It seemed to me more like he was getting off on it at first
"Rebels is a kids' show."
Tarkin: You may fire when ready.
It really was. Two beheadings doesn't change that.
Eh compared to twc it really did stay a kids show
@@LordVader1094 This, but everyone seems to forget that just because it is a show targeted at kids doesn't mean adults can't also enjoy it. Imo everyone tries to find excuses to prove that it "isn't a kids show", take, like, any other animated adult show for instance, they have to cram it full of profanities and gore to prove to themselves that it isn't a kids show... I don't see the point tbh, if you like it then really it doesn't matter who the "target audience" is.
@@ImmaLittlePip both are kids shows and that’s not necessarily a bad thing
@@LordVader1094 Clone wars: casually puts a scene full of decapitations
What I like about this scene is that Tarkin isn't really talking to the two Imperial officers, but to Kallus and Maketh Tua. He made the officers be an example for Kallus and Tua to show them the consequences when you fail the Empire. He even turned his back to the officers and looked at Kallus and Tua so that they knew he was referring to them.
Yep..
Tarkin is dumb as hell, his fear shtick backfires on him multiple times. Tua defected, Kallus defected. Blowing up Alderaan caused a ton of defectors and made people all over the galaxy join the rebels.
@@noobkin6995 striking fear really won't work
@@noobkin6995 Not completely sure about this but I heard in a TH-cam video about Star Wars Legends that the Death Star wasn't meant for fighting the Rebellion the Emperor knew about Yuuzhan Vong and was planning to use it against them. But I don't remember the name of the video. And I am not sure if that is true probably a theory.
I do agree with you Tarkin is dumb using the Death Star in Legends and in Canon against the Rebel Alliance wasn't smart.
@@N7xVoss That's just a EU fanbase theory that's really honestly dumb.
The Death Star was always meant to be a deterrent and a weapon of terror against any system that opposed the Empire. It would be the same as if a tyrant today decided to start advertising the willingness to use a nuclear bomb against any city that opposed them.
The thing with the Death Star is by itself it is not a naval weapon. Even being attacked by cruisers it is quite vulnerable as the cruisers can get themselves out of being vulnerable quite easily, as was shown in Return of the Jedi when they enmeshed with the Imperial Fleet. Those same cruisers can carry hundreds of fighters which the Death Star is incredibly vulnerable to. That alone rather defeats some idea it was meant for some extra-galactic threat. Was the idea to send the Death Star to their worlds and start blowing them up? So many ways to stop that from happening by anybody who knows what's what.
Let's make one thing absolutely clear that certain comic and novel authors can't get through their heads. Emperor Palpatine cared for nobody else but Emperor Palpatine. He was not working to improve life in the galaxy but to secure his own hold on it. And if he could not secure that hold then the whole thing could burn.
This weird thinking that there was a single benevolent cell in such a creature as Palpatine is dumb thinking. We may as well think there was good in Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo, too. Or Qadafi and Hussein.
Maybe the Khmer Rouge did nothing wrong.
Trying to flesh out an evil character by giving them benevolent actions but they still remain the evil character is poor writing. An evil character who does seek redemption is not poor writing, but that's not Palpatine. That story was for Anakin.
That was one thing Rise of Skywalker did get right. Even in a clone, the personality of Palpatine is still a genocidal power-hungry maniac.
They did a great job with Tarkin in this series. The voice acting is superb.
Would be so nice if Tarkin was played by the same voice actor in Rogue One
Not just that, the way he handles himself, the way to subdue the hope around the Jedi and the correct view to stop the Rebel cells unifying.
The actor, and the writing is spot on for me, though I'm not hardcore fan, never read any books, only films. But to me, Tarkin is exactly what was needed to make him look that much more ruthless and justifiably evil in the film A New Hope. In that film, he was just an evil leader. Now. We have true reason to fear him.
He was always willing to sacrifice and cut off any weakness, ultimately leading him, to do the greatest evil. Destroying a planet, full of Imperial citizens, though rebellious.
Peter Cushing would be proud, God rest his soul. He set the precedent for this brilliantly ruthless Imperial officer.
Alex Sweers Even his design is perfect. Definitely looks 15 years older than Tarkin in from the clone wars. They did not mess up anything about him.
The voice actor for Tarkin in the clone wars and rebel series is Stephen Stanton, who provided the voice of Admiral Raddus, the mon calamari commander in Rogue One.
They even added his cheekbones!
of the cheekbones? XD1
The only thing missing now are the fangs.
@@cobraking1419 no. What’s missing is the carpet slippers
@@annnnnnnn394 What about bunny slippers? They are comfy for his feets lol (I mean funny is, even the actor that played Grand Moff Tarkin didn't want to wear the boots due it hurts him-)

Compared to “the clone wars” rebels was a kids show
Damn, nice catch.
@@ADGZone clone wars season 7 Darth Maul hallway scene: "Are you challenging me, Master "Rebels"
Tarkin does not tolerate failures
Well I'm sure he would tolerate a minor failure, like failing to hold the door for him quickly enough . . . but not repeated failures and incompetence.
That requires . . . an example.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that tarkin was very close to anakin before order 66, and grand moff tarkin passes off the idea of retreat being reserved for weak, spinless, cowardly men. in the game, empire at war, tarkin is a hero, and uses a small transport shuttle, but when any capital ships are present, he will command form there, and he gives immense bonuses to fleets in battle, only downside, *ABSOLUTELY NO RETREAT*
Jonathan Mocke getting fired or demoted would be the least of your worries
Lest we forget this is the same Grand Moff Tarkin who blew up an entire planet just to prove a point, executing two Disney esq. bumbling henchmen is just another day at the office for him
as Disney Queen of Hearts ones said “Off with their head!”
Nice to see an actually competent villain in Rebels aside from the Grand Inquisitor.
Ian Greene
Vader, Maul and Thrawn are also competent villains.
Eh, I wouldn't exactly count Maul as one. He sucks at trying to turn Ezra to the dark side. The holocron did most of the turning.
Alduin the Anti-Dragonborn
Yet, he killed Obi-Wan's loved one, overthrew a planet and gives the Rebels a hsrd time to beat him or escapes everytime.
Kanan only threw him down but we didn't see Maul beaten.
So no, still a competent villain.
competent? Maul fails every single time. His schemes work for a little bit, like taking over mandalore, but ultimately it failed when palpatine showed up.
Well, it's hard to do something if Palpatine don't like you anymore.
"Alright inquisitor, this is how we are going to do it. First I give them a lecture, and when I turn my back to them, that is your signal to cut their heads off."

Die tummeln sich bekannterweise überall herum..
For a split second you can see Aresko and Grint's eyes roll up into their skulls just as the Inquisitor begins to cut into their necks....makes it pretty easy to picture their severed heads with blank white eyes rolling on the ground, makes this whole scene even more terrifying when you think bout it
I have them on my chimney now.
zalla00 Thank God too, one thing I didn't like about TCW is it was always so explicit with body parts being sliced up. No need to see that, thank you.
@@tristanskywalker1998 War is grim. War is dark. It's not cheery. People do loose limbs in war.
They thought they're deaths were going to be peaceful lmao
When you do it right, leaving it to the viewer's imagination makes it more horrific than if it were to actually be portrayed. I like when that is done. Gets into your head.
Well.... That went from 0-100 pretty quick didn't it
Phoney ignoble Billingham it was never 0
From about 10 to 40 to 70 to 100
That really got outta hand fast!
Jesus even Kallus looks horrified by this. and that's saying something
Keep in mind this is the same Grand Moff Tarkin who blew up an entire planet, a planet that was one of the Core Worlds that make up the Imperial Capital Sector, a planet home to numerous legendary Republic leaders, and killed 2 billion people, including the entire Imperial Garrison on Aldeeran, just to prove a point, and he was smiling while he did so. Killing two bumbling henchmen for failure is just another day at the office for him
Hold on, the Imperial garrison was STILL ON THE PLANET? For fuck's sake Tarkin's just wasting resources now.
Tarkin is one of those people who could've cared less about the soldiers on the ground as long as they got the job done,
kallus is never portrayed as a real villain. He's really normal in every sense of the word. Probably the most mundane and normal of all the characters. He just happens to view rebels for what they are....rebels! lol. He's not a bad man. Everything he's done has been pretty rational and orderly and justified. He isn't trying to murder people, just bring them to justice according to the law of the land. And the official law of the land is still pretty civil....its just what the real heads and culture does behind the curtains that makes everything bad.
for Tarkin, it was merely Tuesday.
Suddenly Tarkin's death on the Death Star just got a whole lot more satisfying. Those weren't criminals, they weren't traitors or spies, they were loyal imperial soldiers who were just trying their best to do their job. And it's no wonder that half of the people in that room, least those who survived went on to defect.
Well let's be honest. If he would have escaped and survived the death star's destruction sidious would be have punished him for his failure and then killed him. Sídious even wrote how tarkin got so ambicious and his days were numbered.
I'll say he was smart in remaining in the death star, he was done for anyways
"You are going to die either way, the only matter is how painful is going to be"

You should read "The Legends of Luke Skywalker," especially the manga version. There's a story attributed to an Imperial gunner who was present at the Battle of Jakku, was firmly devoted to the Empire, but during the battle, found himself on the planet after his Star Destroyer crashed, and was saved by Luke, who gives him a distress beacon to rejoin the Empire.
After he returns to the Empire, they assume he is a traitor for deserting the Empire (despite it not being true) and torture him. Finally realizing that the Empire were the villains all along, he breaks free of his bondage and declares himself a rebel (specifically, a "Skywalker").
@@astrofan1993 well I consider that guy more of a skywalker than Rey

Actually these 2 are sort of corrupt. They stamp out civilians from their businesses and then threaten them. But at the end I do admit theyre orders by the governor.
1:53 I love how Tarkin gives the Inquisitor the signal to take these guys heads off
For me it was like watching the original star wars lecture Disney themed star wars..
An i am finally happy that they nailed what star wars was supposed to be in that scene..

I'm sorry, but I just can't get over a strange desire to use Tarkin's massive forehead as a movie projector screen.
LMAO, he will send the Inquisitor to kill u
You what
BTL Y-Wing remember.. Thats his forehead so he decides what goes on their😂😂😂 (family guy)
Yo LMAO😂
BUT, BUT, HES THE LEADER. Only thing missing is green skin
Tarkin knows how to be a leader. I mean if I was working for him I would really try to finish the mission assigned by him just so I can stay alive.
I would do my best to escape
Actualt, Tarkin is pretty amicable most of the time towards other soldiers. It's failure he dislikes.
The menacing voice helps
I believe "tyrant" is a better word...
TAZ yeah, but who's scarier? Tarkin, or Thaun?
"Oh, I doubt that very much." Heh, Kanan got burned!
Still not as much as Anakin
Sir Mango 😂
Sir Mango *yet*
You have no idea how right you are now
I also like that subtle call back to when he worked with Jedi in the Clone Wars. "I worked with Jedi, and I doubt he compares."
This is kinda foreshadowing Kallus’s deflection from the Empire. To be fair, who wouldn’t be horrified to see two officers executed RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
It was something for him to consider, to be sure. But he was still in good favor with Tarkin to be trusted to get his work done, and while he did fail on capturing the rebels, he did achieve other goals in the process.
While Kallus was loyal to the Empire, as he was buying its message of peace throughout the galaxy, he also was able to respect Kanan and the Ghost Crew for what they were able to achieve with so little. Sun Tzu has a few words on that matter. However, to him they were still criminals who were only inevitably going to screw up.
That's why his time being marooned with Zeb was the turning point for him. Kallus never expected to be treated well by the rebels, and here he had Zeb splinting his leg, giving him warmth, and helping him get out of that hole. And then Zeb did the next unexpected thing. He gave Kallus the choice to come with him onto the Ghost, without being a prisoner.
I don't see Tarkin's execution of these two officers as a turning point for Kallus. But it was certainly something to reflect back on as he started being aware of what the Empire truly was.
@@samsonguy10k There's also the point of how the Empire treat its people as a whole. Here you have two officers that have failed in their task but are absolutely Loyal to the Empire to a fault and they are executed for it, meanwhile, you have Admiral Konstantine constantly failing and yet never being punished for it. There's also how his superiors treat those below him, when the rebels came for Zeb, they gave him a warm welcome and were glad to see him safe and sound. Meanwhile back on the star destroyer, Kallus has nobody to welcome him, it's all distant and cold. There's no camaraderie, only colleagues who are eager to stab one another in the back for a higher rank.
@@combinecommando001 and that behavior's not unique to Rebels. It was established in A New Hope. The Empire sucks.
@@samsonguy10k Everything was mostly quite nice within the Grand Army of the Republic. Clones being brothers and a lot of Jedi generals respected them. Damn you, Order 66.
@@combinecommando001 that’s what makes things with Thrawn feel alien. He’d never do this, at least not to people like this. At most he’d use an incompetent officer as a sacrificial lamb for intelligence gathering.
The empire fell primarily because the emperor was an egotistical maniac but also through that it never fostered a community of loyalty. Thrawn was as effective as he was because he recognized in legends the benefit of cohesion (something he doesn’t totally understand in rebels when facing the members of ghost crew beyond knowing it makes them dangerous)
1:59 Even the Inquisitor had his reservations
You're right he hesitated? Maybe a flicker of the light side Jedi he used to be.
I think he did. That seems like an accurate theroy.
it's one thing to kill an enemy in battle, another to commit full on murder... I like how in rogue one they mention that the force moves darkly around someone about to commit murder...as a force sensitive The inquisitor would have felt that.
Sean 7567 Didn't notice this. For me his eyes were rather grazing for murder!
David Navarro I think its this rather than having doubts. He looks like he's going to enjoy what he's about to do.
This is the moment Rebels stopped being an old-style kids show. Tarkin wasn't just brutal to the point of excess, but he was calm and calculating in his excessive brutality. And it wasn't about his personal gain or him being EEEEEEVIIIIIIILLLL!!!!, but his sense of duty to the Empire and his belief in order. And that's what made him a truly frightening villain.
He killed the generic disney villains this was the moment i knew the show was gonna get good
Old style kids shows are actually very brutal, in the 60s, 70s or 80s there was a cartoon of Mickey experiencing tramautizing stuff.
Himmler could’ve been as brutal in his methods, but there were a relatively finite amount of resources throughout East Europe, lol.
After this what he does to his own men on Scarif came as no surprise at all. I doubt he bothered to evacuate any Imperial personnel on Alderan before he obliterated it too.
breacat That's Tarkin for you.
Wasn't even his own men. And you know darn well what he was really going for by destroying the facility at Scarif. He was executing Krennic. Just with a very, very big gun. For a planet-killer, the Death Star has some darn good targeting systems.
There is also later in Rebels where the Ghost crew take over the long range communications tower, and instead of sending in expendable storm troopers to shut it down, he just orders the tower destroyed. Get the communication shut down, and delivers a message himself: He will stop at NOTHING to shut down any insurrection or rebellion. Anything less than the Emperor is expendable.
Grand Moff Tarkin is the definition of No Chill.
@@samsonguy10k They may not be the men under his command, but they were still Imperial soldiers and officers. And while the targeting system of the Death Star is good it wasn't so precise that he could kill one man without making a really big hole. You are correct that no one less than the Emperor is expendable.
@@breacat next time you watch Rogue One, pay attention to what the beam hits on Scarif. That was no accident
@@samsonguy10k No doubt Krenik had a tracking device on him so Tarkin knew where to aim, but the blast destroyed the base and probably everything within a mile radius because he didn't care about Imperial casualties.
I love how even Agent Kallus is shocked by that.
Rook013 The Inquisitor ended up having a look of discomfort as well.
You're going to have to give me a time stamp, because I don't see it.
Rook013 1:59 when he squinted his eyes.
I'm not convinced. This is a guy who decided to used Luminara's corpse as Jedi bait. This guy has clearly killed a lot of people and killing these two officers probably wouldn't phase him. I think the eyes were more of a natural thing, like when you're focusing on something.
Not likely. If anything would have caused such a reaction, it would have to be someone close, like how Luke affected Vader. The Inquisitor had spent years killing for the Empire. He's not going to slip over some nameless officers.
I love how this scene does kinda bring legitimate stakes and helps these characters who work for the empire and make them more human.
Tua horrified and realized just who she’s working for, Kallus is less shocked but seems to need to take a moment to take in what happened and possibly realize if he fails he could be killed as well. The grand inquisitor is slightly reluctant but does his duty regardless.
I liked how Tua shook her head before the strike, almost unwilling to accept that this was really happening. I actually thought she was no imperial first, given that she does not wear a uniform and seems rather modest in her methods. They could have fleshed her out better and I´d say they wasted some interesting story with her death.
@@SirMarshalHaig well given she was a minister there a chance she was elected into that position although I think she said she was put into that position by Governor Pryce. And I agree there were some aspects they could’ve explored with Minister Tua but I think everything they could’ve explored with her they did with Agent Kallus in season 3.
@@michaelnally2841 In the Trawn book Tua was already there before Pryce, but they really don´t do much with her, what is a pity, as I don´t buy Kallus´ change of heart at all. The guy kicked a stormtrooper to his death in the first episode and bragged about commiting genocide in the second one I think...and suddenly he realized he was on the side of the bad guys...yeah sure.
@@SirMarshalHaig I don’t think it was a “he realized who the bad guys were” it was a “oh they see me just as disposable”. Like the episode where him and Zeb were stranded on the moon. Zeb greeted with open arms and the empire didn’t even try to help him or anything. So why should I keep working for them. I agree they probably could’ve made it more natural.
The animation here was so good you can see exactly what they want. There's the one thing i loved so much about rebels
At 1:59 the inquisitor hesitates for a split second!!! This show has some of the best expressions and conveyed emotions I've ever seen.
Just rewatched the episode and I was looking for this comment. The amount of details the animators put into this is astounding. It's like Inquisitor momentarily remembers his Jedi past and is like "wtf am I doing" but then surpresses it and executes them
I don't think that's what he was doing. He was neutral but then he narrowed his eyes to convey he was about to do something evil to the audience. That's not hesitation, that's basic "the bad guy now looks evil because he's about to do something evil" animation.
I also really think this show has some of the worst expressions and conveyed emotions of any animated show. The animators really aren't good at animating eyebrows, it makes the characters seem too expressive. Like they don't react like normal humans beings, their eyebrows are doing a dance on their forehead and it confuses their emotions. It looks unnatural.
To see this problem, take any scene in Star Wars Rebels and cover up their forehead. Look at their mouths and noses and imagine how their eyebrows should move to match those emotions. Then uncover their foreheads, do the eyebrow movements match? In nearly every scene, no. The fact is, the animators were good at moving eyebrows, but they didn't know how to use those moments to convey the correct emotions and it ends up muddling and overcomplicating the facial animation to the point where the viewer does not understand the expression the characters are supposed to be making.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi I agree, I think its cuz the show was directed to be more appropriate for children (I grew up watching it lol). Not only did they make everyone built like a lanky teenager, they also simplified the emotions conveyed by most characters. I think the little cutaway was just to show him initiating the command, transitioning from standby mode, to execution mode.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi Hi Obi Wan. Is rebels your favorite Star Wars show?
@@Obi-Wan_KenobiI'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. It's something that bugs me not just in rebels, but also in the clone wars and bad batch shows
This was the turning point of Rebels - the moment when the show got serious and dropped a lot of the goofiness, becoming more awesome as a result.
@@paladinboyd1228 The show started to resemble star wars more and more as it got closer and closer to the end. In the beginning, it. Was boring and difficult to take seriously. In the end, it was full of interesting stories, characters, even EU content.
Well, it was episode 13 I think: they didn't put so much time
I can't imagine having tarkin as a father. "You got a B+ in chemistry!?" Well I guess I'm losing my head to a sith inquisitor.
or he just blows up you, the school and the whole planet the school is on.
''about that B+...''
turns to his lieutenants.
''...you may fire when ready.''
Single reactor ingition
I AM GOING TO INSULT YOU actually Tarkin became this way because of his son's death. He was a much more noble and light hearted person through the clone wars, but Palpatine ordered Vader to assassinate his son (make it seem like it was the rebels fault) in order to harden Tarkin more, never to question empire orders again.
DARKSOULPRIMEX
now that is just sad..
DARKSOULPRIMEX Not canon anymore I fear.
Tarkin was the Judge, jury and the Inquisitor was the executioner
The best part about this scene is how it denotes how real shit actually gets in the series. At first, it starts off leaving us thinking that this is really just a more kid-friendly version of SWCW set in the Galactic civil war era. But when we see nearly off screen deaths like this, THEN it's really selling! :D
***** You talking about how Ezra manipulates that walker into gunning down the stormtroopers and throw itself into the foggy canyon?
***** Yeah...THAT was cool. Isn't violence wonderful? ~_~
Well wasn't it at the start when they said it? Although it is starting to really get good now
oh yeah i wasn't saying clone wars was perfect by any stretch of the imagination however it did expand on the relationship between characters which is the main reason i liked it, plus anakin's fall to the darkside also made more sense afterwards
haha yeah those were the best
You know you're cold blooded when you make even the Grand Inquisitor pause with the orders you give him
Glad to know that this voice actor came back to voice him in Bad Batch. I think he does Tarkin really well.
Stephen Stanton is an Underrated Voice Actor in general.
Sure, Tarkin is good at creating fear, but I believe this scene is emblematic of why Tarkin’s ideas falter when it come to actually improving the empire.
What was learned from beheading those two officers? They were never truly trained to deal with insurgents. At no point was anything that Tarkin did here instructive to them or to Kallus and Tua. It just created fear of punishment.
This is honestly why I liked Thrawn much more. Where Tarkin would just kill his subordinates for failing him, Thrawn would get them to understand where they failed, instruct them on how to do better, and then help them understand the consequences of both success and failure as a result. Thrawn fostered growth in his subordinates, Tarkin just made them fear him.
If you notice, he was actually talking to Tua and Kallus. He killed the officers not for failing him, but to make an example for Tua and Kallus and make them obey him through fear.
@@agalaxyofbricks1441 -
It makes little difference whether they were being made examples of or punished. Tarkin was a thoroughly evil, sadistic sociopath who would later become a mass murderer on a staggering scale when he ordered the destruction of Alderaan, something he did as casually as he would ordering fries with his bantha burger. He was a detestable slimebag with no honour.
@@agalaxyofbricks1441 so? Its still bad leadership. First thing that will come to their mind when the time for a decision comes that if they make the wrong call they will be exexuted and they will hesitate to make a decision.
@@mtrunkello The Empire rules through fear, a method which is very flawed, so Tarkin's methods were both tactical, but it's also true that they were definitely not the best ones.
That’s why most tyrannical Governments don’t last long. The Star Wars Galaxy has a nearly 30,000+ year long history and the Empire only lasted for about 30 years
"More principled than others" says Tarkin. I only understood what he meant once Saw Gerrera came into the Star Wars Universe.
2:02 Tua finally realizing what monsters she's working for. That's gotta be an eye opener. She spent her life as a small part of the New Order, following orders and believing that everything was right in the galaxy. Until this moment.
Her lack of uniform had me think she was some local politican, like an elected mayor so to say, who does some self governing as long as the governor does not give other orders. I was a bit surprised when I read her fan wiki entry, especially when other imperials have some blood on their hands and in her case I read affordable housing.
@SirMarshalHaig She was basically a real world mayor or local politician suddenly realizing that she worked for absolute monsters who would kill her just to make a point.
Tarkin, thrawn and Vader were the most badass evils in the rebels.
What about the Grand Inquisitor?
@@throwfascistsintopits3062 more of a minor inconvenience
I love how Tarkin voice actor are trying as hard as he can to sound like Peter Cushing..... such a dedication if you ask me
As much as Tarkin dislikes the Jedi he respects what they were. He says that he doubts very much that Kanan lives up to the legend because he served as a part of the Republic and has seen the Jedi in force.
"He certainly lives up to Jedi's reputations.Oh I doubt that very much"Tarkin always had respect for Jedi and to hear them say a not fully trained Jedi was like them in anyway upset him.Tarkin was a respectable gentleman,evil but had good qualities.
Is it really respect? To me it seems more cold dismissal. How could Kanan possibly compare to legends like Kenobi, Skywalker, Plo Koon and other Jedi who fought in the Clone Wars
Respect? He didn't seem to care that most of them are dead.
He had a great respect for their power and capability, the same way a good Hunter respects the claws of his quarry, but ultimately believed they hamstrung themselves with morality. In this case I believe he really did consider it laughable that Kanan was in any way close to the Jedi of the old order.
if it was Vader he would of made their death slow and painful
Vader killed for purpose, not pleasure. He was not like his master in that regard. He was brutal and caused pain but he was not like Sidious, he killed when he needed to, or to make an example quite like Tarkin did here.
Alastair Thornton He made quite a few "examples" of those Imperial officers who probs would have been more useful alive...
He would call Dr Ball
But no one ever listens to Dr. Ball
Hayden Fowle
That's what made the Inquisitior such an intriguing character. Sadistic and evil in his own right, he never punished his inferiors for the obvious blunders they made nor throw the blame on them
Tarkin: It has come to my attention that there are 'comic-relief' characters in this show. I'm afraid that this is no longer acceptable.
I read that in his voice
@@Nephalem2002as was intended😊
Immediately when inquisitor walks behind the two I just knew immediately he was gonna kill them.
Immediately after the inquisitor immediately walks behind the two I just knew immediately that he was immediately going to kill them immediately.
Tywin Lannister salutes you Tarkin
Victor M They are both so alike! Tarkin would be Star War's version of Tywin.
Victor M you have made my day sir even if this post is from a long time ago
@@danielliu8895 they were both intimidating and dominant in any dialogue they had but tarkin was still subservient and loyal to the emperor . Tywin was the boss and everyone around him knew that. Damn I really miss GoT. Too bad they made no new seasons after s5-6 am I right?
@@stavrosstamelos6890 yes…so unfortunate
At that moment Horace and Jasper realized that changing their names and going to work for the empire probably wasn't the best idea.
From 101 Dalmatians?
@@legothoron1 Yep.
Tarkin never messes around, straight to the point and ruthless.
So ruthless that even Vader did not disobey him
That's why he's No.3 in the Empire.
When you see an Inquisitor walking behind two guys who are known to have made some...errors...you know something is about to go down.
The winces on those two's faces. That death may have been quick, but it sure wasn't painless.
Kallus: "I'm fighting on the good side, right?".
Seeds of rebellion start to grow💪
This scene really just said “Tarkin is awesome.” And then dropped the mic and left the stage to endless applause 👏 👏👏
Tarkin paying close and personal attention to your affairs would be as big a red flag as Vader pulling your performance files it seems.
I think this is when Agent Kallus began to have second thoughts about the Empire. I think the ultimate push for him was when he was stranded on that ice planet with Zeb. Zeb returns to his friends with a warm welcome while Kallus returns to the cold calculating, unwelcoming, Empire.
1:12 "Unity!"
Yeah, can't have those Rebel cells developing computer games!
The force is strong with this comment. Its clear that was not make on Unity
Ah, Tarkin, you magnificent bastard. After the Emperor himself, my favorite uber-villain from all of Star Wars.
"You have failed me for the last time!..."
I love how Tarkin doubts that Kanan’s skills are on par with say a master yet he talks about what Kanan could accomplish almost as if he’s scared. He’s just hiding it under that condescending demeanor.
2:01 influnced Kallus decision to defect to the Rebels by secretly giving them info on imperial defectors, sympathizers and targets
Hayden Fowle, Yeah you can see him starting to question the empire.
Tarkin: we need to get rid of these expensive capable clones
Also tarkin: how are these men with 2 years of experience not doing as well as the people who were trained since birth.
Tarkin didn't like the individuality The Clones adopted from their Generals during the War he didn't like how the Jedi gave their troops names instead of referring to them by their CT Numbers
And plus overtime The Chips wear out and The Clones original view towards the Jedi have been restored
1:51 'You may kill when ready.'
Gotta love that little bit of detail of Tarkin just barely looking up at the grand inquisitor to single him kill the two
I'm pretty sure this is the point Rebels went from being a cringe worthy show to being one that is actually watchable.
Seriously.
it's getting back to cringe then back normal
TVJUNK85 yeah season 1 was cringy as heck sometimes
MikeMic productions yeah, the only thing that sucks in Rebels is that we don't usually see missions and events that are significant to the new canon and Ezra and Sabine both act like prequel trilogy Anakin
Robo_Destroyer / Darth Troller We don't see any significant battle because Rogue One was the first major battle in the entire war. Says so in New Hope's opening crawl.
Tristan Pearson that's why Rebels had to be a non canon unlimited ideas show
You just know Tarkin is one of the few people the Grand Inquisitor truly respects. A man who can inspire just as much fear as Vader has definitely earned it.
2:09 gotta love that "shit shit shit shit shit shit pull it together" face he does there for a few seconds
That whole speech wasn't even for those two officers. It was for the governor and agent behind him! Quite the message.
Minister
“Oh I doubt that very seriously.”
Lol. Have fun in the Death Star
This is why Tua was so afraid when Vader said she was going to have a meeting with Tarkin about her failures.
but got to admit, he is a good badguy
Kallus and Tua after seeing this: "I'm gonna resign"
I love Tarkin's voice acting.
They did a real good job with his character.
I like to think this as the starting point of Kallus's doubts of the Empire to defect.
Tarkin (as the Grand Inquisitor beheads the casts of every Disney Channel Tween Show ever made): Make no mistake, from this day forth the Tarkin Doctrine is the LAW at Disney. Mickey Mouse send probe droids to every corner of the studio and the parks, Donald Duck post Stormtroopers at every entrance and exit. Goofy send Inquisitors to every movie critic in Hollywood. If anyone dares to speak ill of our movies, or if anyone insists on making more pointless sequels to our classic movies or more of these ridiculous tween shows, we will make examples of them.
I loves this epic comment!
what are you talking about?
How epic Tarkin's mom is.
Tarkin: Tarkin Doctrine Rule #1: Make fun of my mother.....I blow up your entire home world
So that was the plot of Episode 4, Princess Lea made fun of Tarkin's mom so he blew up Alderaan. Too bad he got the wrong planet though, Lea's home planet was an astroid called Polis Massa.
This could make a great employment ad for the Empire. Join the Empire! Plenty of opportunities to advance and get ahead.
I really enjoyed this scene for several reasons:
Those two imperials were really just stereotype comic incompetent comic relief bad guys as seen in many animated kids shows. With Tarkins arrival and decision to execute them for their failures it demonstrated the true tyranny of the empire, not tolerating incompetence. It also shows us more of how much of a threat Tarkin, ruling with fear and punishing what he considers as failures with death.
Its the perfect way to get rid of the kids show image.
1:50 Note the little "Kill them" look he gives the Grand Inquisitor.
And this is what caused the governor to defect. It's also what got the agent to start questioning the Empire.
She was the minister not the governor. Pryce is the governor of lothal.
One thing about tarkin that has remained consistent across all of his appearances:. He has no problem with sacrificing other officers to accomplish a mission
Tarkin: Make no mistake, failure will have consequences.
Headless guys: yes sir...
1:44 love this speech, it comes off as intimidating while showing Tarkin’s cold logic
“Rebels is just a kids show!”
Yeah, try telling that to Tarkin!!
I like how the show became more brutal when Tarkin joined.
Rebels was a banger animated show. Change my mind
Tarkin is EASILY the second most evil Imperial. Ordering to kill was of no second thought for him. No remorse, nothing. In fact, I think he took sadistic pleasure in killing/giving orders to kill and destroy. He is second in evil only to Palpatine.
Vader at least had multiple episodes of remorse in his private chambers and suffered from severe depression because of what he had done. But was sadly too snared by the dark side to do anything about it, until he was saved by his son.
Kallus looked truly horrified for those two officers here, and got a glimpse of the evil that was employing him. Though he didn't fully come to appreciate tgis fact until season 3. This moment here sowed questions in his mind.
Tua was never truly even a bad person. She literally said she was simply looking out for tge people under her. And then of course seeing this cold blooded order and act of murder completely opened her eyes. Not only did she begin fearing for her own life, but she was truly repulsed at the evil that manifested itself right before her eyes. Not long after this, she attempted to defect. I wish she would have survived, she deserved better.
I wonder if Vader did see Tua´s face at night sometimes. I hope so.
2:01 -- if you freeze the image in the right split-second, you can see how the two unfortunates feel the lightsaber cutting into the back of their necks.
2:01 When you realise that the lesson being taught is actually intended for you....
this is a bit like Heydrich rolling in and executing Schultz and Klink halfway through the first season of Hogan's Heroes
God I loved this scene. I hated those two officers and I was afraid they would be the comic relief for the whole series but after this scene I was sooooo wrong and sooooo happy
It's a shame we didn't get more of the Grand Inquisitor
General Emerald read the new Vader comic.
Came from the future, the Inquisitor is in the Obi Wan Kenobi series
It's almost as if the show itself is saying:
*"Alright, enough with the lighthearted cartoon antics."*
“There are whispers of a kids show in the streets. In time, those whispers may spark belief in something other than the seriousness and darkness of the clone wars. And that, gentlemen, is something I cannot have.”
Imagine being the janitor and just walking in to the room and seeing two heads on the floor
And suddenly you know why minister Tua was pale and shaking as you met her in the hallway.
Damn shame Tarkin doesn't get more screen time in Star Wars.
He is nothing if not efficient.
sergeantassassin3 I agree. It's such a shame we don't see him much. Such an interesting villain.
The villains in this show are great. The voice actor for Tarkin is great, and seriously you can't go wrong with James Earl Jones as Vader. But the rest of the show feels like it is just meant for kids. Clone Wars did a perfect job at making it for hardcore older fans and kids, this show just feels like it is for kids. It looks like Disney Infinity or something. I really miss The Clone Wars.
Gotham Savior Having watched both shows from start to finish, I say TCW is more cartoonish and childish than Rebels, at least in terms of overall quality.
I love ❤️ Minister Tua. Her proper, ladylike behavior combined with her naïveté makes her very attractive. I wish she appeared more and successfully joined the Rebels.
Matthew Cioffi
In my opinion, Tua should have been spared long enough to become an unofficial pupil of Thrawn, becoming the 'Watson' to Thrawn's 'Holmes', so to speak. (Similar to Gilad Pellaeon's role in the Thrawn trilogy).
And while it's certainly true that Tua "lacked imagination when it came to producing results" (according to Vader), I have a hunch that Tua would have outgrown this flaw and become far more effective under the guidance of Thrawn (who is described as "endlessly patient with those willing to learn").
And considering how Thrawn's signature trait is his deep appreciation for the arts, it's very plausible to imagine that Thrawn and the cultured/ladylike Tua would have found common ground with each other.
Anyway, even though Tua no longer has any future (as far as the current canon is concerned), there's always room for "what if?" when brainstorming for fan fiction. :)
@@topnotchshinobi I thought the same. With Thrawn seeing the brutality of the Empire as a flaw (when I recall his novel correctly) Tua´s civillian ruler approach, that I see in what little we get from her, would have been much less dangerous for the stability of Lothal. Working together with Thran on a precise military solution, probably combined with improving the situation for the citizens, he and Tua could have damaged the rebels way worse than terror tactics.
Goddamn Even the inquisitor was hesitant
I like the way this show balances warfare with misticism.I think it does that better then ever now that Thrawn is in the picture.
This is why it's not a good idea to work with Tarkin. That, and he steals all the pens.
1:23 Man, Tarkin's gonna eat those words for dinner at the end of the season
Somehow comments returned
if this dude and Thrawn would've been on Lothal through the whole season 3, there wouldn't be a thing called rebellion
But I have a feeling Thrawn and Tarkin would "butt heads" over each other's methods.
@@dboymax1 Rightfully so, I think the duo of Tua and Thrawn could have been awesome. An administrator who believes in nothing but the good of the Empire and a much less naive military man, who would like the Empire a lot closer to her dream image than the real one.
Tarkin just arrives insults everyone and then executes dumb and dumber brilliant
Is it a bad thing that this was my favorite scene out of the series
And people say Rebels is only a kids show.
