Star Wars Lore - The Tarkin Doctrine
DPatton for Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin
Wilhuff Tarkin was a human male who served the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire. During the Clone Wars, Tarkin served as a Republic captain under Jedi Master Even Piell and was taken prisoner by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, before escaping with the help of a Jedi and clone trooper strike team. During the incident, Piell was killed and Tarkin was later promoted to Admiral and served as the prosecutor in the trial of Ahsoka Tano, who was framed for the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar.
After Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire, Tarkin became the Empire's first Grand Moff, and regional Governor of the Outer Rim. With this responsibility, he was also given oversight of the Death Star which he took command over after removing Orson Krennic from the position once it was operational. He believed that fear of the battle station would keep the local systems loyal to the Empire, and used it to destroy Alderaan to showcase the station's power. The Rebel Alliance squad Rogue One, however, stole the plans to the Death Star from Scarif, and Luke Skywalker was able to destroy it during the Battle of Yavin, killing all those on board, including Tarkin.
Attempt to do an impression as close to Peter Cushing's Tarkin (A New Hope), however, an impression close to Cushings or Stephen Stanton's Tarkin (Clone Wars & Rebels) would work just fine.

The Jedi Are Extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend are all that's left of their religion. (A New Hope)
Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station. (A New Hope)
In the absence of Governor Pryce, you have had a single, simple objective, Minister—to protect the Empire's industrial interest here. Interest which is vital to our expansion throughout the Outer Rim. But instead of protecting this interest, you have allowed a cell of insurgents to flourish right under your nose. Am I correct?
