Grand Moff Tarkin - An Appreciation

Who is so important even Vader listens to him? Grand Moff Tarkin, that's who.  His title might be adorable, but Tarkin calls the shots, and he ain't got time for Vader's parlor tricks.  Tywin Lannister could take lessons on keeping your allies in line from him.  Tarkin is a man as tired of asking you where the rebel base is as he is agnostic about your ancient Jedi religion. Fear is his dogma, and he knows just how to motivate you into giving him outdated and useless intel.  And that deal you thought you had with him? You're far too trusting, and Tarkin knows it.  We would've liked to have been his adversary longer, but he was gone with hubristic last words that rival General Sedgwick's famous "they couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." Imagine the Crimes Against the Galaxy trial had he lived - gavel to gavel coverage, that.  You're missed, Grand Moff Tarkin.
