Huh, I think I understand it a little bit better now... But I'm still confused on what it specifically did to bring reform to the Empire.

It's responsible for the Galactic Empire's vast and terrifying militaryβor rather the support thereof. In one version, the full Tarkin Doctrine glorifies the Emperor and calls upon the citizenry to cherish the Imperial navy's stewardship. In another version, the Doctrine outlines the creation of Imperial Oversectors, the need for super-governors (for which reason he would be made the first Grand Moff), and the necessity of a weapon even more frightful than the Star Destroyer.

The most unsuccessful government policy ever

The Tarkin Doctrine basically treated refusing to understand your enemies as if it was a viable tactical philosophy.

Hail to the Empire, and to its greatest Citizen. Grand Moff Tarkin is dead, but his Doctrine will live on.

He was a pretty bad ass dude! Rumour has it he might be in the new spin off Star Wars films however

I find it fascinating that a character who only appeared in one of the films has gone on to play such a pivotal role in countless EU comics and novelizations--even appearing in the recent Clone Wars television series. I chalk that up to the acting prowess of the late, great Peter Cushing; his Grand Moff was the personification of cold, heartless military efficiency, and the only officer in the Imperial Navy who didn't crap himself when Vader entered the room. Truly the Heinrich Himmler of the Star Wars universe. >=]
Rest in peace, Peter Cushing. =,(

Yeah, Peter Cushing was a stellar actor. Β I'm a big Hammer Horror fan ;D Β (Although, how isn't, right??) Β I read once that after A New Hope, he wished his character hadn't been killed off. Β It would have been interesting to see him in Empire Strikes Back since it already has a really dark tone about it. Β There's rumour that he'll be digitally created again for the new spin off star wars rogue spinoff film.

Heh...good ol' movie magic. If Tarkin was still around for Episode V, I doubt any of the main cast would have survived; he would have had Luke and Han's heads nailed to his office door for destroying his brainchild in A New Hope.
James Luceno, author of Darth Plagueis, recently came out with another book called Star Wars: Tarkin detailing the latter's rise to prominence under the Old Republic. I haven't read it myself (yet), but general consensus among reviews on Amazon.com is positive.

indeed very interesting for the character himself. And .. Luceno

Ah, this was the moment I believe were all the non-humans on Coruscant were put into their own impoverished district.

I can't remember where this piece was set to be honest. Β Sometimes the briefs I get won't be what's on the final printed card.

That Tarkin asshole should have died a long time ago during that citadel rescue mission on that one episode of SW:TCW,but noooooo Anakin just couldn't get a future vision of all the evil things he would soon do,including the most worse....BLOW AWAY ALDERAAN and Bail organa with itΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
He was probably too busy future visioning his own evilness
π: 0 β©: 1
PerhapsΒ but when tarkin was standing next to him,he should have gotten a bad vibe from him thenΒ

I can really dig FFG paying out to get some great art for their stuff. Very 1984 in presentation, it works very well! Nice use of many aliens in the crowd.

Very 1984 inspiration indeed! Felt appropriate for what the brief was calling out for.

That guy in Star Wars IV who stops the other guys from blasting C3PO and R2D2 when they are in the escape pod because "there are no lifeforms" is actually the man who caused the Empire's downfall. He killed the empire with his love of being cost-effective and saving money on laser beams.

Haha that's a pretty awesome theory and you're right!!

Love Tarkin and hate him in the same time..... Love the Idea of dominating by fear and super weapon love his ambition, hate his arrogance and hate of what he did to alderaan......
