What Tarkin Wanted to Do Every Day on the Death Star [Canon] - Star Wars Explained

Couldn't really come up with a good title for this video... tbh I just wanted to use that comic panel for a thumbnail.

Despite Tarkin's age, he's in perfect shape

36 months ago 😮

As I waiter, I also often wish to strip off my shirt and fight to the death with my idiotic customers and coworkers

This is all for Tarkin from ep. IV. doesn't fit

I admire Tarkin, for his no-nonsense attitude toward weakness and hesitation. I do NOT normally condone violence, but sometimes you have to resort to it in order to defend yourself. In a life or death situation, you CANNOT hesitate, nor hold back!

Tarkin died on the first death star, not the 1 over Yavin

Not QUITE the same fate. Tarken was spaced in billions of pieces🤷🏼‍♂️. 🤓😎✌🏻

The thumbnail / title combo is very scary.

Tarkin looks like Putin in the thumbnail

Whys he gotta be shredded freakin weird mang

Damn, Tarkin is jacked asf

Good to know that Tarkin is basically a villain from the Yakuza series.

Disney should be fired from a cannon

❤️

German military officers up until WW2 often had Dueling 'bragging' scars (badge of honour) from fencing visible on the face - they'd actually want to get cut in these duels so they could show off their 'bravery' later on

Javik: "FINALLY, COMMANDER"

I'm glad they kept his backstory, badass man.

Tarkin proceeds to actually duel the Gunner.
Stabbed by Gunners excellent Gravball reflexes, youth and adrenaline.
Dies.

The Death Star superlaser crew were not imposters

Tarkin: You may fire when ready.
Tarkin fan girls, shifting their panties.
Tarkin fan girls: Oh, we’re gonna fire, sir! We’re gonna fire!

So he had a homelander moment lol

Tarkin become gigachad

Imagine if Tarkin was force-sensitive. I need to see that shit.

Grand Buff Tarkin

must be nice to talk to Tarkin, you ask him how the weather while he's thinking about killing you with a rock.

tarkin is such a bad ass

I was going to go with "Blow things up" but thats just me.

Was talkin executing order 69 on the thumbnail?

I can't help it but find Tarkin absolutely ridiculous.

At the end of the day he's just a small little man who thinks social darwinism will be his saviour.

He fucked up everything for the empire.

This man complaining when Anakin fucking burned

You’ve herd of Ben Swolo now it’s time for Toasted Tarkin

That why Luke killed him

"Why don't you have scars!?"
"....because I'm better at avoiding danger?"

Tarkin with his short off. He's the Vladimir Putin of Star Wars.

Me - tarkin stfu.. insecure fuck.. as far as I’m concerned a real badass man who been thru hell growing up.. unlike u would.. would be all the more empathetic and understanding and ensure others wouldn’t have to also go thru terrible shit… ur a coward who made up some bs so u can pretend ur better then others… scars don’t make u more or less a man then any one… empires just full of losers.. like many American cops.. just become cops so they can use their power to abuse and pick on mostly civilians lol

So silly. They can install sensors that are able to detect if the gunners hesitated, but they can’t just use droids to do the job entirely.
With sentient AI like Creepio, Far2 D2, and that ball-like rolling merchandising opportunity from the sequels…. they could definitely have just made simpler robots to do the calculations.

What I find hilarious is that now all of the ridiculous backstories for every minor character in the EU/“Legends” has been non-canonised, the slate is “clean” for them to do it all again anew.
But this time Disney will be profiting from it. Knowing the primary demographic of spenders on Legends content were nerdy white guys that had aged out of spending as much cash on the property, Disney desperately wants to hook contemporary kids/teens with new stories that will become part of their childhoods. In turn leading Disney to benefit from decades to come like they will with the wide demographic that spends on Marvel’s expanded properties now.

Ain’t no-one going to convince the bulk of Disney’s target demographic to go back and spend $$$ on comics/books from the 80s or 90s that were always going to contradict the new films.

Who ever wrote that comic book doesn't understand the Tarkin of the movies character at all.

I wish i was the gunner ❤️

I think the gunners knew what would happen if they "resigned" from their positions, so it was sort of a lose lose situation for them

“Slapped the man in the face” proceeds to show an image of Tarkin feeding this man a knuckle sandwich on white bread with extra Mayo and American cheese.

Stand in the storm trooper shower and have a train run on him judging by that one picture

Stupid sexy Tarkin

I cant believe im at the point in my life where im wondering what "Tarkin" from Star Wars want to do lol

I wish disney canon wasn’t so needlessly extra, even for star wars

Ironically enough, he turned out to be right in the end. Since the Death Star was able to fire on Yavin before being destroyed, it was the gunner who hesitated to shoot.

Tarkin is just Space Ceasar
