#tk 421

Although it does provide some interesting contrast to “Of MSE-6 and Men” 🤔 Tarkin didn’t have time for failures even if said failure was his own niece. TK-421 failed multiple times. He failed to complete his delivery task on time. Tarkin got knocked down by his fleeing mouse droid in front of a subordinate, and instead of punishing him most severely he ended up falling in love with that grossly incompetent trooper. Then TK failed his first assignment after his promotion that not only got him killed but also led to Leia’s escape. And Tarkin mourned for him, mourned for their shared future that would never come to pass, before the battle that would decide the fate of the Empire no less.

If I had any doubts about what exactly was between Tarkin and TK, I guess this new comic kinda settled it. Tarkin was the worst monster in his time. He finally became human at the end of his life, and eventually that was exactly what doomed him and everyone else on Death Star. (“Live like a beast, and no event, no matter how harrowing, will ever be able to move you.” What if he’s not living like a beast anymore?)

Here it is, their new AT-AT! I didn’t put the rope on the build because it is the moment before the AT-AT plummets and I wanted this set because it’s one of my favourite Imperial war machines so I wanted to display it in its full glory instead of right before its defeat.
