![Darth Vader Meets His Childhood Friends After 30 Years [Canon]](/img/tr.png)
There was also the fact that Tarkin didn't fuck up every other mission like many other imperial officers
The fuck up of missions by many imperial officers was just a way for George to make it actually plausible for the rebellion to win against the empire
Tarkin's biggest fuckup was putting all his faith in the "indestructibility" of the Death Star and not evacuating after he was told there was a small chance of the rebels succeeding.
That’s key right there
@@silvervalleystudios2486 without *the Force* the rebels could've *never* succeeded to use the exhaust port to destroy the Death Star. Vader vaguely prophesied it's destruction with the "the power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force" line. Vader was also in the trenches, chasing Luke. Vader was *exactly* at the right spot to foil Luke's upcoming "use the Force" window of opportunity, but Han and Chewie did *maximum damage* to their formation. Not only did Han save Luke by getting Vader to spin away, but he also saved the whole primary objective, because Vader was now preoccupied with random spinning and didn't have enough response time to redirect Luke's 'forced' torpedoes.
Also the rebel HQ (with all the upper management) was at that target planet Death Star tried to destroy. The battle was literally "Death Star vs. the established rebel alliance." Tarkin thought that Vader protects the exhaust port from outside (which he did), but no-one, not us nor the people within the Star Wars galaxy, saw the return of Han and Chewie coming. They showed up at the very last minute and changed the whole history of the galaxy.
He fucked the one mission that cost him his life and the Death Star!
dang. the fight ending in a draw is impressive for tarkin
I mean the man was capable of taking down giant beasts from his home world so I wouldn't put it past him that he could destroy Vader.
Wouldn't exactly say "destroy". Physically he had not chance against Vader, but he was able use tactics to defeat him, outsmart him a bit. But it came to a respectable draw at the end of it.
@@noobpro9759 I guess? just not really the first person you'd think of when thinking of people who can beat Vader
@@starwarsuplink ahh that makes sense o:
Plot armor
Darth vader: you should do well to remember my power tarkin.
Tarkin: yea yea why don’t you go off and die of sadness. *walks out while vader slaughters everyone who heard that*
😬😬😬
🤣 “ZINGGG” 🤣
😂
That proper made me chuckle 😆
😂✌🏻
😂✌🏻
Peter Cushing was an excellent actor. Classic choice for the top general.
Legendary actor!
He was the original Van Helsing. He wasn’t afraid of Dracula either lol
Apparently he wore his slippers the entire time he was filming.
More like governor/viceroy
My favorite sw character
According to the new canon Tarkin and Anakin got together very well during the clone wars because Tarkin didn’t like the Jedis and Anakin didn’t like the way Jedis did things to. Since they agreed on these things they got together very well
Tarkin is an important to the empire
Until Ahsoka’s trial which Palpatine admitted was one of his largest mistakes after having to use both Tarkin & Vader together.
Yeah, but fuck the new canon. Anything attached to, and in support of, the Disney Trilogy can fuck off into a Sarlack like the Disney Trilogy.
@@Oskanwhitchfather you said it but clone Wars is in legends as well
@@Oskanwhitchfather lmfaooo you’re lame
Tarkin had a lot of respect for Anakin so I think him knowing who Vader was played into his respect for Vader.
Additionally, Thrawn and Admiral Yularen also didn't fear Vader, even though during a mission together thrawn kept pushing Vader's buttons on the fact that he was certain that Vader was actually Anakin and kept subtly yet openly bringing up the name Skywalker. Meanwhile, Yularen had seen so much shit in the Clone Wars that he just didn't care lol.
Wasn't Yularen also an officer that worked closely with Anakin?
@@alexanderharrison3912 that my friend is an understatement lmao
Thrawn had a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. The only Chiss in an otherwise 99.9% human empire. I don't think Vader phased him even slightly.
Yeah he knew because Thrawn met Anakin in clone wars. Considering Thrawns intelligence it should he hard to understand Vader is Anakib for him
@@alexanderharrison3912 bruh anakin was bff with yularen
Tarkin honestly got black air force energy
Fr tho
Fr Fr
What does black air force mean?
@@marcusrauch4223 basically mean he got that energy that you shouldn’t mess with him
@@daindekruijter3893 that makes many jokes from casual geographic make much more sense.
I just figured Tarkin kept some pocket sand around as some extra leverage against Vader.
Sh sh shaa!
@@madmandu "dammit Dale~"
Lol. Glad I’m not the only one who immediately pictured Dale Gribble throwing pocket sand at Vader
It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
He didn’t "secretly know". Vader told him "I sense my former master" when Obi Wan infiltrated their ship. He was basically acknowledging he’s Anakin.
"Don't kill Tarkin"
"Why?"
"We're understaffed"
"Oh shit you right"
Damn I knew Tarkin was smart but I didn’t know he was on that type of shit!
He was awesome with his work!
Tarkin is one of the smartest SW characters
@@starwarsuplinkdon't underestimate him like Vader he is very intelligent
Peter Cushing’s uniform boots didn’t fit, so in Star Wars Grand Muff Tarkin was padding around the bridge in bedroom slippers.
Heard about this!
Good ol "Grand Muff".
@@LTLT900 Good ol’ autocorrect
I always wondered if Palpatine knew how Vader felt about Tarkin and used that rule to push Vader even more.
His back story in legends is just Amazing and Brutal. There is how he met Palpatine and I won't ruin it for you.
I always liked Tarkin, just a really interesting character
Same
Interesting yes. Additionally he is one of a few onscreen personas that makes me feel like I'm sitting next to a coiled up cobra.
Big Fookin Balls, either that or he saw the prequels scene… “I hate sand”
I think it’s more that he was “haunted by the kiss”
The actor shot most of his scenes in slippers.
Well that was becauss his feet were too big for normal boots
Sigma grindset
Fuckin boss
Wearing slippers and listening to David Prowse trying to sound menacing, I don't know how there wasn't ALOT of takes due to fits of laughter.
Honestly. A character built only after his death. Be it he lived, i am certain the outcome would be royal to commoner types of different. i wish that the adventures between the years of the movies, 3 and 4, would be put into a show. It would make an excellent show, and a full one at that.
100%!!
Isn't Kenobi taking place in that time?
Both the Bad Batch series and Star Wars: Rebels take place between RotS and NH.
Bad Batch starts during and takes place immediately after Order 66, and Rebels starts a few years before New Hope.
only if they include galen marek for at least one episode
@@masonknapp4166 Screw that, give Galen a full animated series with Sam Witwer reprising the role.
Because Tarkin answered directly to the Emperor.
& Vader did as well, aside from the one time after the destruction of the 1st Death Star, where Vader was temporarily “demoted” under Tarken for a short time.
@@michaelwhite7378 Correct. Vader was the emperor's voice, while Tarkin was the emperor's military hand.
@@michaelwhite7378 after the destruction of the first Death Star he was not demoted under Vader. Tarkin died on the first Death Star.
You mean just BEFORE episode 4 the emperor gave Vader instructions to follow tarkin's orders.
But there was a demotion he got after the destruction of the first Death Star. I forgot the name of the officer that Vader had to answer to. But in Vader like fashion he took care of that
@@ddillard143 You failed to read what he wrote. Try again bozo.
@@arielp9442 what I read is after the destruction of the FIRST Death Star Vader was temporarily demoted under TARKIN. I thought talking was destroyed in the first Death Star so you're saying differently? Look again and you'll see that yourself is the bozo
Tarkin was a beast
Peter Cushing was the perfect actor for Tarkin, May he Rest In Peace
Realistically, George Lucas hadn't made sequels yet and hadn't set up Darth Vader as someone feared like he became known in the later movies. But it was such a strange detail that a lot of the extended media had to go back in to the lore and retroactively explain Tarkin's lack of fear.
Simple, Darth Vader didn’t kill imperial officers all the time. It became a thing when EU writers decided to write Darth Vader that way.
@@ouissam2502 didn't he force choke an imperial officer in episode 4? I know he didn't kill him or whatever, but if he didn't KILL anyone at that point, why would even getting choked out be a threat? Like, did he just choke out people til they'd pass out?
@@chriswelter3859 He force choked an imperial officer for mocking, disrespecting and doubting him and the Force in general. Also he wanted to show him a demonstration of the Force. Vader made his point well.
@@ouissam2502 another thing to remember in a new hope is that early in the movie, we have two instances of Vader interacting with officers in a rather controlled manner, the first is when an officer questions whether it is a good idea to keep leia prisoner. The second is when he was told an escape pod was launched with no life forms on it. If this was the Vader from empire strikes back and the EU, he would of killed those officers, the first for questioning him and the second for failing to destroy the escape pod. Vader's character was really damaged by empire strikes back because for some reason they decided to make vader a murder hobo. In a new hope he was both feared and respected. In empire strikes back he was only feared which weakens the character.
Yes! Vader was just another jumped up wanna be hardman whereas Tarkin dwarfed Vader in his gravitas, experience and Imperial rank to name just 3!
Because hes the Casanova of Coruscant! Hes Tarkin all the Moff!!
I always thought even as a child, that Vader came on board of death star as a guest and advisor or to help and he was in charge of that death star so obvious chain of command.
In a New Hope it seems that Tarkin was the commanding officer of the Deathstar, therefore outranking Vader, who was portrayed more of a hit man for the emperor at the time.
Tarkin is actually one of my favorite characters in Star Wars
So good!
Yeah, the dude got some charisma
Vader had no military rank. He was a Sith Lord. He was just a dude in bio-suit who was allowed to hang around and order around the officers of the Imperial Navy and force choke anybody who pissed him off
Because Tarkin was brave, cold and hard as steel.
Essentially, Tarkin viewed Vader as “muscle” to his “brains”. Both are a form of power, but Tarkin knew he had his power under control while Vader was a slave to his power.
I was always under the impression that Tarkin represented the kind of man who actually made the Empire fearsome, an utterly ruthless pragmatist. Where the others are arguing over the stolen plans and the Rebellion and what not in the Death Star briefing room, Tarkin barely talks until he does only two things, rebuke Vader for choking one of them, and tell all of them (Vader kind of included) that their 'bickering' was 'pointless'. Not only is that a lack of fear, but also a lack of patience with the slightest waste of his time.
Tarkin was completely self-controlled, rather than insecure, in his power, a quality even Sith respect.
Tarkin was a proper villain. No childish tantrums, no melodramatic actions and threats! Intelligent, controlled and powerful. There was no idiocy that we saw from 90% of the other Star Wars villains and he was the best was to show how heroic the rebels were by being such a force, no pun intended, to be defeated.
So Erwin Rommel?
He outranked Vader in the Empire.
Technically everyone did. Vader existed & operated outside the constrains of the empire. However, Palps had made it well know that an order from Vader was to be considered an order from the Emperor himself.
So while he existed outside the empire he was the 2IC of the Empire.
@@michaelwhite7378 I thought the idea was that Tarkin was in charge of the military, answering only to Palpatine, but Vader was in charge of what you might deem “Spec Ops” like the inquisitors, Assassinations, etc as a separate entity to the Military, again answering directly to Palpatine, so they were essentially equal in standing in the same way naval and army commanders have no power over the other or their branch
@@garibaldilebeau kind of but remember Palpatine gave direct orders that he was not to mess with Tarken as he needed him as the Grand Moth. Vader had also worked directly under Tarkin when he was punished for the destruction of the first Death Star. As well as when he was Anakin during the Clone Wars, which is debated why Tarkin gets along reasonably well with Vader & is hinted to know who he truely is.
Think of it more like this:
If the Emperor is the Prime Minister.
Vader is the Defence Minister.
Tarkin is the Chief of the Military.
Think of the Inquisitor’s as more of a Sith CIA
Vader is higher in pos. then Tarkin but does not outrank him.
@@michaelwhite7378 you technically are right and wrong. Tarkin was needed not only just because of the Death Star but for political reasons. As Grand Moff, Tarkin governed a huge chunk of the empire which was a reason why him along with Moffs were not to be killed because of the need for political stability within the regions. And Vader actually had to report to Grand General Tagge when he was the supreme commander before Vader was ordered to execute him. Vader had military authority but it wasn’t like how we saw in ESB and ROTJ until he killed Tagge.
Fun fact: Tarkin was the 2nd most powerful man in the empire the 1st was the emperor, 2nd Tarkin and the 3rd was Vader
I disagree only because of Vader’s survivability, Tarkin is just a man but Vader is for all intents and purposes immortal until he himself decided to die
@@jacobbruce1005 Tarkin was the 2nd most powerful man
What i mean he had like most of the land
@@jacobbruce1005 he the power
@@St0neMan ohhhh I thought you were talking about that fight that tarkin technically won against Vader. My B
@@jacobbruce1005 yeah it's totally fine
I keep hearing grandma tarkin 😂
Hah!
🤣😂😅 thumbs up 👍🏾 to everyone who gets it...
Hey, Grandma Tarkin was no pushover, either. She did the Carrion Spike trial with a frying pan in hand.
Me too!
I think A New Hope did a decent enough job of establishing Tarkin's importance when he told Vader to release another office. We can derive from that the entire dynamic of their relationship without EU information
I mean Tarkin being Vader’s superior officer always worked for me.
That reminds me of Stalin and Georgy Zhukov...
And Rasputin
They were homies init Tarkin knew Vader was rolling with man
Ya get me blood
I been tryna' figure that out since May 25, 1977.😃
Know you know!
Able To Draw Against Vader Without The Force Is Impressive!
Yes , many fans sensed that too but not quite get their heads around it to understand why! Thank You So Much for the insightful explanation! May The Good Force Be With The Good STARWARS Fans , Always! 🕯🌍
At this point it's a game if he kills me I win
And he knows that
Eeeyyyy referens
TFS!!!!
Peter Cushing!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!
I would love a "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, grand moff"
Peter Cushing true LEGEND of cinema !!!!
I love how when sith powers come into conflict, or more like empire powers, and they both beat each other the thing they get out of it knowing they are both pivotal to the empires conquest instead of one killing the other for thinking they are useless or less powerful. Idk how to word this, i just like the conclusion he said they both came to after their battle. Seems dogmaticallly correct.
Man just got balls of steel and sand, simple as that
Because Tarkin had been in many films with Count Dooku!🤣
Tarkin also had that world famous Dumpy that made Vader go crazy
Grandma tarkin?
Really?! You are literally on the internet......use it!
Tarkin had also appeared in a movie with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Even Darth Vader couldn't say that.
Also it was shown in the Clone Wars that Skywalker and Tarkin were harmonizing very well in their views and strategic thoughts.
I did not know this, thanks for the information!
No problem!
I love your voice
Tarkin was his equal. That is all.
Ahhh...Peter Cushion. What a classic actor.👏
Tarkin was so comfortable around Vader, he rarely wore shoes.
BS, it was because he’d done all of those Hammer Movies!
THIS ONE IS THE TRUE SITH LORD!!!
I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook for the novel Tarkin by James Luceno. It did a great job developing the backstory and motivations for Wilhuff Tarkin as a character. Additionally, I loved how the audiobook for the novel actually included random sound effects like blaster fire in the relevant scenes. I was quite immersed in the listening experience; it felt more like a well-produced radio drama than a traditional audiobook.
Damn, would've liked to have seen Tarkin in one of those comedy moustaches.
Didn't tarkin hunt vader
In the comic where they fought which ended up in a draw (seen in this video), that was the entire comic line where Tarkin hunted Vader alongside his best hired soldiers.
He was Palpys secret lover and Vader knew not to mess with Palpys love toy.
He owed Vader money.
Dude, Tarkin was a straight up hardass. Check out the scars all over his torso when he takes a karambit and just HANDLES an Empire officer half his age in a shirtless duel.
I can only assume tarkin was a genius at his work so emperor told vader to obey him.
Fun Fact: part of an Imperial Naval Officer’s standard uniform was a pair of Depends in case they ever had to deal with Vader.
One thing I've never seen anyone mention is how similar Empire officers' uniforms appeared to parallel those of Nazi and SS officers in World War II. I've no doubt Lucas purposely used those uniforms as a plot device to describe the Empire's absolute power and the will to use that power at the merest suggestion. They also spoke to the Empire's corruption and "power at any cost."
I want a comic where Darth Vader becomes emperor with all his limbs and power intact. That would be one hell of a read.
I prefer the idea that Tarkin was just confident he'd never fuck up
Vader didn’t mess about when he whacked mr bronson from Grange Hill
Underrated character, what a badass
Tarkin (Cushing) was wearing slippers as his boots hurt!
Tarkin just kept a jar of sand with him.
Pocket sand! Ha ha.
Because… Peter f’ing Cushing! 🎤 DROP
Interesting and some amazing artwork on showcase here. Such talented people out there. I can barely draw a stickman.
so Tarkin essentially had a pardon and special protection from the Emperor
Also Tarkin packed a 15 inch long donger sabre also known as Tarkin's Pole.
That, and you know, slaying Dracula and making the Frankenstein monster.
His recognizable stench.....
And Vader had a very handily available coffee dispenser on his chest at hand for Tark, so hey …
Darth vader : threatens to kill tarken
Tarken : i gonna put some sand in your eye
I can't imagine Peter Cushing in a fight...I've seen all of his "Hammer Horror" movies, and he always outsmarted his opponents.
Which is how the fight between tarkin and vader went funnily enough
They made a perfect team . The emperor knew that, and wanted nothing but loyalty, respect and obedience. All for the empire.
Tarkin knew vaders twitter history
Tarkin was a cold blooded fearsome man himself. He is not to be fucked with.
Because he was the boss, and Wader was just one of many henchmen.
Darth Vader is still such a awesome character
Best Villian in the History of Cinema.
Vader owed him money from the last “Starbucks run” ☕️
Taking the trope ‘defeat means respect’ to 11
Yeah I heard about their fight and couldn't believe it, I sought out the story and was blown away. Literally the only non force user I can imagine whose ruthless enough in battle to match Vader.
The artwork is awesome 💥💯
Real recognizes real
Besides, in Legends Tarkin was an absolute unit of a soldier, if I recall
Maybe he had photos of Vader in a compromising position with wookie.
I hope this is legend.
Tarkin has big saber energy.
because of admiration and respect that’s why.
Tarkin always kept the high ground.
Tarkin is my favorite Star Wars character.
I love that all art of Tarkin is Peter Cushing.
It was his foul stench that commanded fealty.
