Talk:Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends

Title

 * Move to: "Wilhuff Tarkin"? --SparqMan 23:25, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree, names not ranks.--Eion 23:26, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with the agreement. --Beeurd 23:40, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Also concur. JSarek 23:45, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Done.--SparqMan 00:09, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Revised history
The retcon of Tarkin's history given the pre-ROTS EU material has created some problems with the previous history we've been given. This Starwars.com blog entry does a good job of tying it all together. I recommend it as a source for updating this article. --SparqMan 07:12, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hair color
Why is it black? Both Wayne Pygram and Peter Cushing had red hair in the role. Kuralyov 16:07, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks red-brown to me. --SparqMan 17:26, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

ROTS Picture, Anyone?
Does anyone have a picture of Wayne Pygram as Tarkin from ROTS? I think one should be in here, but I haven't had any luck in finding one. Kuralyov 00:54, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Except for screencaps, the only released one is in Hyperspace. I'd wait till the DVD to get a proper one. QuentinGeorge 06:06, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Speaking of the Hyperspace pic, doesn't anyone realize that it's already on this page?TIEPilot051999 04:57, 30 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Death Star
It says here Tarkin presented Palpatine w/ the death star plans when its shows in Episode II that Dooku brought the plans to palpatine, anyone got ideas of what to do to fix this?
 * Nothing's wrong with it. Tarkin presented Palpatine with the plans, while he had received them as Darth Sidious from Dooku prior to that. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Wrong way around. It's in 29 BBY that Tarkin presents Palpatine with the plans. The handover goes Sienar -> Tarkin -> Palpatine -> Dooku -> Geonosians -> Dooku -> Palpatine -> Scientists in the Maw. QuentinGeorge 22:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops... Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Why would Palpatine give them to Dooku in 29 BBY-ish (around then) only for Dooku to give them to the Geonosians and have them give it back to him in 22 BBY, and for him to give them to Palpatine?, why didn't Palpatine, who seems to be the first person to have had it, just give them to Scientists in the Maw?
 * Simple: Modification of the plans was needed. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Please, Santa Claus: bring me the ''Death Star novel! Cutch 15:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that should explain everything. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

"commander of the Republic Outland Regions Security Force."
Is Tarkin ever called commander of the Outland Regions Security Force, rather than a Commander in the Outland Regions Security Force? New Essential Chronology or New Essential Guide to Characters, perhaps? --McEwok 11:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Where is that bit from, before I go searching everywhere? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Third paragraph of the Early Life section! --McEwok 23:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Main image
I have restored the main image twice now. Someone keeps removing the older Tarkin pic completely and replacing it with the younger pic. Aside from the fact that the younger one looks like his face is made of rubber (because it is), I think the older one is more recognizable to people, both in-universe and in the real world. Anyone disagree? -- Ozzel 23:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No objections here. Like Beru Lars, Owen Lars and Obi-Wan Kenobi, it needs to be of his oldest, movie, appearance. Not a younger one. I believe the exception to the rule is Palpatine due to the similarities in appearance and the lack of good quality images from ROTJ. -- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 23:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
