Grand Moff Tarkin didn't fear Darth Vader because he was strategically protected by Emperor Palpatine, who deemed Tarkin too vital to the Empire's administrative structure to be harmed, and they shared a professional respect from their Clone Wars history, with Tarkin seeing Vader as a blunt instrument and Vader respecting Tarkin's ruthlessness, leading to a dynamic where Tarkin felt secure in his untouchable status and even commanded Vader on the Death Star.
Vader, the only power who overrules him is papa Palpatine. The reason why Vader obeyed tarkin was out of a sense of respect for him as a military leader, not as his superior.
Yes--Grand Moff Tarkin feared Darth Vader, in ways that were political, pragmatic, and personal, though he projected control and contempt publicly.
He was the governor of the Outer Rim (Tarkin that is), but could he annul Thrawn's orders or did he outrank Thrawn. Tarkin probably outranked Thrawn since he was a Grand Moff (a political rank) whereas Thrawn was a Grand Admiral (military rank).
In canon it was Kirak Infil'a , Cere Junda, Obi-Wan and Lord Momin . All messed him up quite badly with Kirak winning round 1 but losing round 2 and Momin cutting off his arm. Obi-Wan actually beat Vader. In Legends it was Shaa Koon, An'ya Kuro, a clone of Maul and Galen Marek.
Though there was some debate among the fans that Anakin Skywalker's son, Luke Skywalker, was actually the Chosen One since he caused his father to destroy Darth Sidious, the debate was settled when George Lucas himself confirmed in an interview that Anakin, even after becoming Darth Vader, was still officially the ...
The enmity between the two was intensified when Ahsoka was framed for murder, and treason; Tarkin, like most of the Jedi, he refused to believe in her innocence, and the rising body count only convinced him that Ahsoka was guilty even after Padmé Amidala pointed out he had no real proof, and that the evidence that was ...
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
According to this article, Christian Bale was considered to play Anakin Skywalker in the Prequels instead of Hayden Christiansen.
To Palpatine, everyone in the Empire was simply an asset to be used or discarded at will. Tarkin was his most useful non force wielding asset for a long time, and I don't think his usefulness ever declined up until his death. So Palpatine always trusted him as much as Palpatine could trust someone.
From wookiepedia: “Grand Admiral was one of the highest ranks in the Galactic Empire, outranking all other political and military personnel, including Moffs and Grand Moffs. Legally, no more than twelve men could hold the rank at any one time.”
He thinks that the best admirals start as lieutenants, and that if you clone a great admiral, then you lose some of the greatness. Tarkin doesn't want droids, and clones are too close to droids.
Qimir has already been calling himself Darth Venamis, and is ready to officially be a Sith Lord Apprentice, but, is also already conspiring to get a pupil of his own, & eventually kill his own master as well.
I genuinely believe ahsoka was one of yoda's favourite Jedi ever!!! : r/StarWars. Unofficial community for Star Wars, an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie.
In the book, the two have an exchange that is clearly and unambiguously queer when Kaeden reveals she wants to kiss Ahsoka. The passage reads: "'I could kiss you. ' Ahsoka stopped in her tracks.
Thrawn was one of if not the only Imperial who wasn't afraid of Vader and was one of the few officers who actually respected Vader for his commitment and loyalty to the Empire. Vader in turn held great respect for the Grand Admiral's intelligence and strategic influence.
Anakin Skywalker, once the prophesied Chosen One, fell to the dark side through fear, pride, loss, and manipulation. His bond with Padmé, mistrust of the Jedi Council, and belief in Palpatine's promises led to his tragic transformation into Darth Vader.
What makes Harry explicitly the chosen one in the books is 3 things, 1) Voldemort chose him that night to be the chosen one and decided to kill him and his family personally to avoid the prophecy, 2) Harry and Neville actually talked this out and Harry chose to take the possible responsibility off of Neville and to be ...
Balance happened when Anakin destroyed Vader and defeated Palpatine. The balance doesn't refer to the number of wielders of the Force, but the actual balance of power. The Sith had been quietly gaining power for centuries, using the Rule of Two as a way of keeping it quiet while they did so.
