– This week’s Spotlight is on Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.
– Er, who has the most… impressive name? Tarkin or Hux?
– We jump to Tarkin’s ‘chronological’ introduction — in the Clone Wars.
– What did we think of his relationship with Anakin Skywalker and the Jedi?
– Does Tarkin make a compelling antagonist? Or are we not entirely sold on him?
– Was Tarkin’s response to Ashoka realistic? How about his thoughts on the Clones themselves?
– The Tarkin novel was the first we got in new Star Wars canon — what did it reveal about Tarkin?
– Tarkin and Vader’s relationship is something we want to dig into a lot more.
– Was his arrogance and ultimate death something that was satisfying?
– We might need to eventually revisit this topic, and compare Tarkin, Thrawn, and Hux as characters.
