Syril, Dedra, Partagaz, Krennic, Tarkin, Vader, Palpatine.

Each of these losers spent their lives searching for power. They had different reasons to be sure, Syril wanted to be a hero, Dedra wanted to serve the thing she worshipped, Partagaz wanted personal success, Krennic wanted to show off his wits, Tarkin wanted to be the Emperors Right Hand, Vader wanted to put everything in the galaxy that he loved in a bottle, Palpatine wanted to create a monument to his own ego.

And what was the result? The evils they committed did not elevate them, it debased them. They destroyed themselves, one and all, for nothing.

Syril died alone, just another enemy killed by the Rebellion, his hopes and dreams turned to mist on the Ghorman Plaza along with his brain matter.

Dedra, who for so long imprisoned the masses to be enslaved for the Empires purposes all so that she could be "rewarded" with an apartment with a slightly better view than most of Coruscant was herself enslaved by that corrupt system.

Partagaz heard the words of a boy who inspired billions more than he could intimidate by fear and then shot himself whilst a man who was infinitely less talented and less competent than he was waited in line to take his job.

Krennic burned alive on Scarif, destroyed by the weapon he spent so long building and killed by an enemy who he could never outmatch.

Tarkin died, killed by the Rebellion at the moment he was hopped up on his own sense of power, never to understand that his terror was nothing compared to the power of faith. Faith in oneself, faith in one's purpose, faith in one's friends.

Vader, Anakin, who so desperately wanted the power he needed to protect his family, died after being beaten to a pulp by his son and then watching his son reject the power he mutilated the galaxy for.

And Palpatine, the orchestrator of all of this , the man who burned half the galaxy in an insane search for Godhood, died screaming after being thrown down a well by a paraplegic in an iron lung.

Well done Andor, you made it matter again.

things that are canon thanks to Luceno's Tarkin (minor spoilers for the book beware):

• Tarkin has a sense of humor

"Tarkin glanced around the room. “And on our end?” “The HoloNet relay station is best possible,” the specialist at the comm board said. “It is raining, sir,” a different spec added, eliciting a chorus of good-natured laughter from others seated nearby. Even Tarkin grinned, though fleetingly."

• he's also a dramatic bitch who stole Obi-Wan's move

"Tarkin shrugged out of the duster, letting it fall to the floor, and stepped down to the holoprojector."

• huge little shit energy

"Now, while the commander and some of the team members stood arguing about how deep the water might be, Tarkin simply waded directly into the current and trudged to the middle of the river, where wavelets lapped at his shoulders. Then, cupping his hands to his mouth, he yelled back to the team: “It’s this deep!”"

• he was bullied in school, no wonder he and blue man are friends

• Vader being a gentleman to the elderly

"Vader extended a hand to Tarkin and pulled him up onto the deteriorated deck plates of the gunship’s deployment platform."

• we nearly got Tarkin splattered against the viewport of a star destroyer like a fly on a windshield, WE WERE SO CLOSE-

"The countdown had just reached T minus five when Tarkin was yanked forward, nearly completely off his feet. Fearing another lurch he spread his hands wide and so was kept from being slammed headfirst into the closest viewport panel."

• the Emperor arranged a playdate between Tarkin and Vader hoping they would get along better and by the end of it they were friends, aww

Easy explanation for why the first Death Star took twenty years while the second only took four:

Sheev and Vader definitely had a meeting where they agreed that Krennic was responsible for the delays, that Krennic’s flamboyance annoyed them all, and that only Vader gets to wear capes anymore.

i think im funny.

[image id: a screenshot of a google doc in dark mode. The text reads “As it happened, the clones had a high spice tolerance.  Their rations were as spicy as was popular for Mandalorians, because before it the Kaminoans had tested the rations on Jango Fett.  Upon tasting something that didn’t instantaneously clear his sinuses, however, he had passed out in a fit of incandescent boredom, and they’d been forced to start over.  

And so it was that when Tarkin, who was whiter than snow and usually had a diet consisting entirely of boiled foodstuffs, ate clone rations by accident, he spontaneously combusted.” /end id.]

Bullied by everyone in Rogue One

Ignore the fact that Palps is covering they "a" of "a lot", lol

[enaelyork]

I dont forget you and your requests ! I come back from London and i read a lot.

Did you read « Tales from the death star » ? The last novel talks about Tarkin’s last moments.

This strip is probably the best one.

I love this irony. The fact that Tarkin sees all the people he betrayed and that the last image that is printed in his eyes is that of Orson Krennic says a lot about his subconscious.

And the fact that he says THAT words omg omg.

If Heert isn’t revealed as the illegitimate son of Grand Moff Tarkin, what is even the point?

Krennic: You can never lose an argument if you just say “shut up nerd” at the end

Tarkin: Yes you can.

Krennic: Shut up nerd
