just some Tarkin & Tarkin and Vader bein bros doodles

Tarkin strikes again!

but our boy sheev? when his plans don't go perfectly he's just like oh well and starts zapping fuckers to death bc he's also the most powerful old prune in the galaxy and he could just kill everyone around him if he gets bored

like luke throwing away his lightsaber and declaring himself a jedi was great but you know that luke kinda thought that was it, the crotchety old emperor doesn't have vader to fight for him anymore courtesy of luke cutting off vader's hand for possibly the fortieth time in anakin's life, so it's smooth sailing until lando destroys the death star and blasts them all to kingdom come, but then palps is like aw shucks no new apprentice can't blame a guy for trying and just starts deep frying luke for shits and giggles and our poor twink is like THIS ISN'T ONE OF THE THINGS I THOUGHT THE FORCE COULD DO ABORT ABORT ABORT

And how two years later, Anakin hears Tarkin voice his thoughts-That the peacekeeping Jedi shouldn't be leading a war, that their methods hold them back from winning the war, that it's okay to go as far as they need for victory. And he turns to stare. Not a quick glance then recoving his nose, but even after he turns away, he doesn't put his hand back right away.

It's "Someone feels the same way?" It's validation. It's perhaps the first time a broken Jedi doesn't feel broken, because it's the first time a Jedi's ally voices non peacekeeping views. But he's so-guarded.

Because he's waited for this for so long and he's been scolded. So he agrees, but stays guarded. In the next episode, though, he's puffing up his chest, silently trying to make himself seem better. He's not just a Jedi. He has Palpatine's favor as well. He can be impressive.

He can finally have the praise for who he on the inside-not just the perfect Jedi he tries to be for Obi-Wan and Padme and Ahsoka.

It's not Vader music, it's Anakin's eyes following Tarkin even as Obi-Wan is talking to him. And I know it's supposed to be *foreshadowing* all of it but I wish their Clone Wars era bond had been expanded on.

Vader: No you didn’t. I killed Anakin Skywalker.

Obi-Wan: Oh okay. Luke, Darth Vader killed your father.

Vader: Wait Luke, Obi-Wan lied about what happened to your fathe-

Obi-Wan:
