One of my favorite parts of the comics is where Tarkin asked Vader for a favor in completing a mission. Later on, Vader called upon that debt by asking Tarkin to hunt him...which basically ended in a draw.
I love how it is stated as if Tarkin is some Imperial equivalent to Sherlock Holmes for figuring out Vader's real identity when all that really happened was him noticing that one well-known Jedi with a not-so-secret connection to Palpatine disappeared around the same time another, never-before-heard-of, lightsaber-wielding Palpatine sidekick in an identity-hiding mask popped into being. Honestly, it seems like anyone even vaguely aware of Anakin-and with an ability to put 1 and 1 together-should have figured this 'mystery' out.
I find it interesting that thrawn also figured it out but in the (new) thrawn trilogy vader is very adamant that thrawn drops it and insists that anakin was killed, but with vader and tarkin it's like "aight dude you know, I know, just don't mention it around others and we're cool"
QUESTION: PLEASE ANSWER Why was Tarkin referred to as a military genius? As in, what battles did he win that prove this? Time again, I hear characters in Tar Wars, and some fans say that he was on par with Admiral Ackbar and Grand Admiral Thrawn. But I haven't seen any evidence to support that. And yes, I've read the Tarkin novel.
Dude I'm not really an expert on Tarkin! I'm reading the Tarkin novel right now, that's why I made this vid! 😂 All I can think of is in the opening scene when he figures out that the attack on the other space station is fake, and defends his station. He's really smart in battle
Tarkin mostly suspected Vader’s true identity because reports surfaced from Mustafar that Vader claimed he destroyed Anakin there, but there was no body as proof of evidence.
Quick question how did Anakin's opinions on Palpatine and Tarkin change during Ahsoka's trial for the Jedi Temple Bombing. I know a wedge was thrown between Anakin and the oder but I don't think I ever heard how Anakin's relationship with Tarkin changed along with how Anakin viewed Palpatine as both of them were involved with the trial.
As far as I know, Anakin directed most of the blame at the Council. He was still super cool with Palpatine. I don't think he really cared for Tarkin to begin with, if anything he probably didn't start liking Tarkin until they both served the Empire.
Oh, I'm sure Tarkin probably figured out at some point that Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were one and the same. He was smart enough to keep it to himself as he saw firsthand what happened to those in the Empire who were stupid enough to blackmail Vader with this information. Spoiler alert: It didn't end well for them

Actually Tarkin did deduce specific details that made him suspect Vader was Anakin 👍 I explain it in the video using lore from the book “Tarkin”
@@NekoMouser totally something Sherlock Holmes would say
@@August3B Well, Peter Cushing did play Sherlock Holmes. And Doctor Who.
Tarkin's smart, but he's no Sherlock. That title goes to Thrawn.

Love this channel 💯
Thanks dude!
@@RetneysHolocronMuch love brother 🤘🏼
He deff knew that Vader was Anakin Skywalker
I’ll still never accept Hayden being behind that mask . To me it will always be a young Sebastian Shaw
Great vid! Well done!

General Skywalker, you old pirate, glad to see ya. how ya been?
Lmbo
Wonder what his reaction to that would've been..he didn't act thrilled when Thrawn hinted at knowing.
They are besties or rather were besties, until Ahsoka comes to play
Awesome 👏 content
Thank you 🙌

Anakin Skywalker is simply not a pirate but was only a General and a Jedi knight What a lame joke Dave as that's Lando's line to Han Solo
