Tarkin the goat. His death is kinda funny with the cut to the death star blowing up. He is an amazing character whether you like him or not. "You may fire when ready." -Wilhuff Tarkin, final words.
The voice actor of the animated Tarkin was so amazingly close to the original actor that watching this in sequential order like this I can hardly tell the transition from animated to live action way back in 1977. Amazing casting and animation by LucasFilm. Thanks for putting this together. It’s incredible historical content for future reference.
He's just voiced him for so long people have forgotten what Cushing sounded like. If you listen to them side by side they don't sound alike at all really outside of some similar inflections
did anyone notice how in season 1 ep 1 during the scene where him and the kamanoan are examoming crosshair his rank plack randomly goes from admiral to governer then goes back to admiral after the ep?
Not Tarkin. It took forever for him to get a boost, only a year or 2 before JFO was he named Grand Moff for some bs reason. But he climbed his way up the pole to become a Moff in the first place.
I like how the Clone Wars show reinforced the notion that Tarkin was already evil long before the formation of the Empire and that there’s no poor sap/back story to justify his evil as his personality had already ranged from pompous to straight up callous as the show progressed (I personally favor this Tarkin over EU Legends version). Also, I love the rivalry the Clone Wars sets up for both Tarkin and Skywalker. While Tarkin and Anakin initially got along during their first meeting as they shared similar ideals, that quickly changed after Tarkin pushed for the death penalty on Ahsoka when she was being tried for murder. It was there that Tarkin revealed his true colors which would inevitably culminate into a hostile relationship between himself and Darth Vader by the time of Empire as the two barely tolerated each other.
Actually Vader and Tarkin respected each other, and despite them treating each other as equals Vader obeyed orders from Tarkin (Palpatine commanded Vader to do so)
Highly suggest you read Tarkin. Its specifically made to explain who exactly Tarkin is and, NFL the dude is straight BADASS. Like he really is built different and the book does an excellent job explaining his mind set.
"Tarkin, if ever there was a shred of humanity in you or these twisted creatures of yours, it's dead now. You're at war with life itself. You are enemies of the universe... your Empire is doomed." - Princess Leia Organa
One of the greatest villans of all time ,,The Jedi are extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion"
Stress is the answer. I worked with a buddy in the army who worked there for 5 years. He went from looking young, to looking like a middle aged man with wrinkles.
I mean, sure, yeah, he may be heartless, but from these clips, he looks like an incredibly calculating and very efficient leader. He feels like the military leader that you want, if its about winning a war. He is clearly very intelligent and knows exactly how humans behave. Really, the only two mistakes he made during this video, as far as I saw was with the tower being taken by the rebels and them broadcasting and him staying on the death star.
Asking for the leaders of Phoenix Squadron to be taken alive to be made examples of prevented Thrawn from wiping them out with simple orbital bombardment, and gave them time to find a way to escape, and eventually an unforeseen issue arise to save the rebels. And Tarkin handily avoids any blame for the operation’s failure to take the leaders since Thrawn is the one in charge of it.
This was an Incredible Video for Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. My Seventh Favorite Antagonist’s in Star Wars. Peter Cushing will Always Be Grand Moff Tarkin to me and My All Time Favorite Role for Peter Cushing but Guy Henry, Wayne Pygram and Stephen Stanton definitely did Phenomenal Performances Paying tribute to The Late Peter Wilton Cushing (1913-1994).
I always love these videos! It’s especially cool seeing how characters transition from one era/show to another back to back, love seeing the whole journey in one place.
Grand Moff Tarkin seems as if he is always suppose to look closely the same as Peter Cushing, in all the animated versions and Revenges of the Sith. Interesting that he knew Princess Leia's, real, mother, Padme.
@@bloodykon1no one said it was hard to comprehend, simply put given how much Tarkin visibly aged in such a short time seems forced and out of place.
Tarkin has a lot of blood on his hands. A LOT OF BLOOD ON HIS HANDS. His death seemed painless. I think we can all agree he deserves a very VERY painful death.
I would’ve liked to have seen him have to watch and react to the galaxy rising up against him and the Empire and winning. Proving him once and for all that he was wrong and the Empire was doomed as Leia warned. Seeing the Death Star destroyed and having to answer to Palpatine for it. And watching the galaxy celebrate the Emperor’s death. Obviously too far in the future but something like TROS where Pryde is shocked when the entire galaxy, civilian and military alike, shows up to stop Palpatine from returning and refusing to accept the Empire’s return. I just wish Tarkin had gotten to see the fall of his and Palpatine’s fascism.
Tarkin in Clone Wars and BB always felt like a whiny politician, and never as terrifying as he should be, for me he was only truly intimidating in A New Hope and Rebels. (In Rouge one he was scary for uncanny valley reasons largely)
When it comes to intimidation in Star Wars, everyone always talks about how Darth Vader and Empror Palpatine and how scary they "look" (key word being "look") But Tarkin has such a different way of intimidation, he feels calmer in just his voice and walk (like here 12:34 all he does is walk out of a hangar and yet he shows a maximum of character and intimidation here) Like Governor Price said in the Thrawn story "he looks truly like an image of waiting death" 👌
You missed the scenes in Rebels when Governor Pryce asks for the Seventh Fleet and when Thrawn is introduced for the first time, Tarkin is inthose ones too.
Like it or not but Stephen Stanton was the perfect choice for doing Wilhuff Tarkin's voice. And after people started seeing this character appear in a few other projects other than A New Hope, and seeing more of his character, I think his death after getting incinerated in the Death Star's explosion has become more satisfying.
"Minister have you ever met a Jedi?" "N- "I actually knew the Jedi. Do you know what happened to them?" "Well the- "They died!" You ask her question and you don't even let her answer. God you're so impatient man.
Only a couple years span between the Clone Wars Citadel arc and Bad Batch’s beginning, and yet Tarkin looks like he’s aged 20 years. Must’ve been a rough war for him.
When i watched GoT for the first time, Tywin Lannister gave me a strange sense of deja vu. That absolute absence of morality and humanity, that controlled manner, the unquestionable intelligence and the ability to be extremly intimidating without any effort. Only now it hits me: Tarkin. Thats where i'v already seen that kind of villain.
Except for the fact that the crew members of that movie copied and pasted Peter Cushing's facial structures for the actor who played Tarkin in Rogue One. Which was disturbing and plain lazy.
@@orsenjoshlazarus6404 the dude who played Tarkin also pretty much looks like Peter Cushing already but I guess Star Wars fans would've questioned the canonicity of his face if it wasn't exactly the same
I hope Wulff Yularen, Lank Denvik, Orsan Krennic, Galen Erso, Garrick Versio, Iden Versio, Del Meeko, Gideon Hask, Syen Merana, and Barton Coburn In The Bad Batch, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, The Mandalorian, Book Of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka seasons 1-2-3 or 4
You can tell Tarkin was impress with clone force 99 in the training room while his expression might not have change he saw great potential in them being that having a unit of soldiers able to break stander combat engagements and think of the fly is something any army would love to have on their hand. Sadly of course he also wants soliders who follow orders and that something clone force 99 are best known for not doing
This is what happens when you have about 100 gallons of rydonium on one ship. I forgot that the explosion was as big as a Resonance Cascade or a frickin Black hole exploading.
the reason Tarkin doesn't look right in Rogue One is the lack of attention to subtle difference in texturing and materials (instead his skin seems to be a single material and the only thing increased is detail) and that they chose to have darker lighting than the scenes on the Death Star in A New Hope, resulting in them extrapolating what he should look like in the darker conditions, rather than being able to directly recreate or even just directly transplant the images of him from A New Hope
@peterlenham3180 Wdym? Tarkin looks fucking cursed in Rogue One. Disney really kickstarted the shift to an AI-based film industry, and while it's warranted at times (I.e. Indiana Jones circa 1944 during The Dial of Destiny, and it's even somewhat justifiable when considering Tarkin's role between Rogue One and A New Hope), it left a sour taste in many mouths because Peter Cushing died in 1994. Yes, he really wanted to appear in more entries, but not like this.
@@peterlenham3180 I guess that's one of the few positives in this whole thing..? Using AI to illicit performances from the living or dead is a dubious and oftentimes shady practice regardless of the intent, even if the family gives the green light. Thankfully, Cushing's voice was perfectly impersonated without the use of AI or archived recordings, unlike Leia.
Fun fact: Tarkin at first was a sweet kid until his family turned him into one of them. While Wilhuff never regretted being evil, he admitted openly he would gladly blow up his own planet with Death Star with his asshole family still living there.
At 17:48, when he says 'hands' the voice actor's accent comes through. He is not British by any means with an accent sounding like it is from the Midwest or South of America.
Yeah, couldn't they have found a well spoken young British guy to play him? I don't care if he doesn't capture Cushing's exact tone of voice, but at least get the accent right!
I have to admit, tarkin was the main antagonist when The first Star Wars trilogy came out. But later his face looked familiar to me since I saw hunchback of Notre Dame and the avengers infinity war.
Watching and reading everything this guy is in pretty show and tells the viewer that this was a competent psychopath that should never be in a high government position because he pretty much unintentionally caused the downfall of the galactic empire with either his actions or Decisions
Honestly it's laughable anyone responsible for so much failure could ever be called "competent". He's not, just pretends to be so until he thinks he is when he never was.
No he didn't. Tarkin did cause unintentional issues, but he was not actually the root of the problem. He correctly identified that as the elitist Republic culture which saw wealth and familial privilege and more important than competence. Tarkin's attempts at reforms weren't regard well.
If it helps, I think I remember reading the Empire essentially threw him under the bus after Alderaan and his failure at Yavin. At the very least, his legacy has been dragged through the mud
Tarkin the goat. His death is kinda funny with the cut to the death star blowing up. He is an amazing character whether you like him or not.

33:25-Tarkin was just staring at the screen during his last moments of his life....
He’s basically the most satisfying deaths after watching clone wars,rebels,bad batch and more I wish it was more painful tho
If it helps, I think I remember reading the Empire essentially threw him under the bus after Alderaan and his failure at Yavin. At the very least, his legacy has been dragged through the mud
Tarkin arrested me because I didn’t subscribe hhaha
as he should😤lol
You should feel lucky that was only an arrest order
