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.

As Mon Mothma said “He’s an emotionless skeleton held together by his suit.”

Tarkin arrives on Lothal, and within one minute he roasts Minister Tua, Agent Kallus, and the Grand Inquisitor. What a legend.

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 It’s incredible historical content for future reference.

Tarkin roasting the inquisitor never fails to make me laugh

6:31 love how Anakin shakes Tarkins hand and an ominous version of imperial march plays

Tarkin and Anakin networking about how close they are to the Chancellor lol. Their careers both got a big boost after that.

"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

You may fire when ready.

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.

It still baffles me how Tarkin was able to grow 10 different wrinkles in the span of 2 years

Tarkin is the only one with the nerve to roast the Inquisitor besides Vader, and I love it.

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"

5:02 Obi wan taking notes for later

"You may subscribe when ready." Will do, sir.

funny how he has the *least* screen time in the very movie where he's the main villain

0:03 "Genital." - Grand Moff Tarkin

tarkin interrupting tarkin to tell us to subscribe was funny as hell

Tarkin the guy who ages 20 years from clone wars to bad batch (in a 1 year) and then again looks younger in rebels

Given that we already know Tarkin's fate, it's really enjoyable seeing his villainy at work in his earlier days!

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.

6:38 Holy shit. The Imperial March note was based

Once you see those scenes of him in the clones wars it’s really no wonder why palpatine put him in charge of the Death Star operation

I'm glad that you noticed that tarkin was in revenge with the sith cause not a lot people know that

Tarkin is the beast of beast. He tells Vader what to do. This man was a whole threat himself.

12:32 Not gonna lie, that is a bad ass villain entrance.

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.

Never knew Peter Cushing only played him onscreen for under 4 minutes. He did a great job and became iconic.

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.

Wow. Been a Star Wars fan my whole life, and today I just learned Tarkin’s first name is apparently Willhuff

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).

18:10 the firing on cloning facilities are just so intimidating

Love how the interactions between Anakin and Tarkin are just Vader and not really Anakin

Rogue one was so well done, you would never know the difference

The forshadowing when the handshake between Tarkin and Anakin played the Imperial March a bit there was like "Yeah, we know these two will be working together... quite a lot."

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.

Continue with the operation you may like when ready.

Tarkin arriving on Lothal and bitch slapping everyone there is just so funny to me

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.

What’s very odd is that Tarkins rank plaque would change multiple times.

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.

19:50 with the crazy Rogue One shoutout to Krenik and project Stardust

"Fallen into favor with the Chancellor" bro knew what the future held for him

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)

Just by listening to that man speaking makes my IQ go up.

"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.

Can next be wullf yularen?

‘Have I… offended you??’ Tarkin trying to trigger people 😅

You missed some of his scenes in Rebels

Was just looking at the Tarkin novel on my shelf.. haven't opened it yet, definitely going to now

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

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.

One of the few character cases where hindsight bias pays off

Tarkin arrested me because I didn’t subscribe hhaha

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

i remember a scene in Rebels that has Pryce asking tarkin for the seventh fleet and introducing thrawn

I just found out that he change his military rank in bad batch season 1😮 (Vice Admiral 15:45 to Grand Moff 16:08 and back to Vice Admiral 18:05)

I would like to see all Pre Vizsla scenes

Alternate title: Tarkin is an old man and British for thirty-three minutes and forty-one seconds

In my opinion, the actor who voiced Tarkin for Rebels did a better impression than the one who voiced him for Rogue One.

13:08 *Scout Trooper trying to shoot in The Mandalorian Season 1*

That Echo scene had no reason to be included other than to make us feel pain

Makes you wonder why Vader and Tarkin had the camaraderie they had during the Empire given that Tarkin played a part in Ahsoka leaving the Order

“You may subscribe when ready” 😂

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

Excellent work, thanks.

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.

Great compilation! Always amazing content from you

“Yes?”

"A jedi is no good to me dead." "BAAGGG"

The more trakin scenes we get the more happy I am that it's only a matter of time before he sets foot on the death star

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.

- That's enough. Vader, release him! - GRRRR...as you wish.

*you may fire when ready* my god that gives me the chills

In 10 ep: somehow tarkin, and all members on the first d star returned

Tarkin and Anakin will win you any battle in war😂

33:32 me: happy 😆 trails, tarkin!

bro got that mewing streak 💀

ah yes, his first words "genital"

epic introduction!

So used to seeing BB being breaking bad. I’m like what then remember bad batch

Apologies but I believe you missed the scene where governor pryce requests thrawns 7th fleet in rebels season 3 episode 1

Excelente. Gracias por el video.

Love scene csraters 🎉

W tarkin

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

I'll always love Wilhuff Tarkin.

tarkin is such a goated character

nothing like the GREAT Peter Cushing, what a wonderful actor.

You may subscribe when ready 😂😂😂

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.

| Grand Moff Tarkin the demeanor of an arrogant child holding the rank of high esteem. Grand Admiral Thrawn… need I say more?

Long before thrawn was Admiral and the biggest asset to the empire. There was a man everyone hated named Tarkin

Man's arrogance and pomp almost rivals that of a Sith Lord.

I hated him more than Orson Krennic

He’s basically the most satisfying deaths after watching clone wars,rebels,bad batch and more I wish it was more painful tho

I noticed in bad batch season 2 at the summit he has an admiral badge while in season one while talking with rampart he has his governor badge i guess he had a demotion in season 2😂

We need an updated version

You Forgot Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Episode 1

Gotta admit they respected tarkin and the live action actor tremendously when he came into clone wars and rebels
