Tarkin: The COMPLETE Life Story (Canon 2021) Part 2
czcams.com/video/1BMZDStKkS4/video.html
Is part 3 not out yet?
I love how a character which was introduced and killed off in litteraly the first historical form of star wars media we had in 77 has such a huge story in books, comics and even the animated shows.
If a character from the first triology stands out, even a little, you can be certain there's a ridiculous amount of background lore about them.
@@matti.8465 Or if he is mentioned in the christmas special as the best bounty hunter...
The power of Peter Cushing's performance I think. He absolutely set the bar in what to expect from Imperial officers. He's the perfect ruthless other hand of the empire alongside Vader
I was dumbfounded when I saw him "fighting for" the republic
You know who else was killed off in the first historical form of Star Wars media we had in 77? 2 billion Alderaanians. 😎
A lot of this really does explain the whole "Tarkin Doctrine", with how he was raised to use fear above all else, and with stunning effect.
Ja... But the plan starts to fall apart once you expand it up.
Fear would be effective, yes.
But Tarkin grew reckless in his old age, and confused inspiring fear for inspiring outrage and hate, when he ordered the destruction of Alderaan.
And now I know that Tarkin losing his son was the real reason he turned evil.
@@RooneyHimself exactly fear can work on a small scale. You can make someone scared they’re going to lose their job, so they hunker down and try and do better. But when you take it to the level of what the empire does on a daily basis, which is just commit genocide and indiscriminate brutality is against billions of people. You wind up, creating a bunch of people who have either lost so much or have so much to lose that not opposing you is the stupid decision in that equation.
The fact he called Vader "My friend" says a lot about the relationship they had...I remember hearing somewhere that he suspected Vader was the late Anakin Skywalker.
Wait so vaders origin was made secret?, dang I always assumed they all knew it was anakin turned evil
@@johnkaiser709 90 percent sure tarkin knows
I always assumed he knew
in the tarkin novel it’s said that he suspected that
@@johnkaiser709 yah Tarkin and Thrawn where pretty much he only two that new aside from Sidius, kenobi, Yoda, and Luke.
"Evacuate? In our moment of triumph!?
I think you overestimate their chances"
-Gran Moff Tarkins last words.
I mean he would survive if not for space magic
I’m sorry for being a grammar nazi, but I think you mean GOVERNER Tarkin, not, and I quote “Gran Moff Tarkins...”
@@spikey6694 At the time of the quote, he was the rank of Grand Moff. Your correction should've been his spelling of 'Grand', not a correction of his title.
@@spikey6694 Did you see any sw movie? Because he was Grand Moff rank in ep. 4
@@Sanfedismo1192 as someone that has seen every movie, read half the books and considers themselves someone that knows a decent amount about Star Wars, so yes. I have seen SW movies.
Never thought I’d see Tarkin’s story get covered, but his story is definitely interesting
yeah and both long but complex too
Everyone in Star Wars has a story
All Tarkan did was winge and complain about the Jedi even when they were saving him.
@Joe Curr thanks for your kind words.
I didn't knew Tarkin was so badass
I never really did learn about Tarkin, time to sit down and learn about the man.
one of the more complex and interesting fellers
@@MetaNerdzLore Definitely.
When Lesser Evil comes out, you gotta do the entire life of Thrawn
YES
Tarkin earned more of my respect after reading the book.
I respected him, but knowing his backstory made me really give him the credit for being a truly ruthless man.
The methods he used were certainly morally Ambiguous to say the least. And yet one does have to respect his and his family's history, traditions, and the simple fact their methods produced extrodinary individuals.
@@scribblerstudios9895 It’s basically one either rises to the challenge or dies. As brutal as it was, it was entirely necessary for wading flora and fauna of any given situation. Whether the beasts of Eriadu, pirates, or scheming politicians. The world will never go easy on you and it’s better to be the victor and not the victim.
Not just a ruthless man but a mass murderer
@@scribblerstudios9895 if by extraordinary means ignoring your direct compatriot analysis then you're also an extraordinary person.
@@nebunezz_r I do not see the reason to be calling me extraordinary. I made my observation. If I perhaps missed something I have no qualms taking a second opinion.
Kinda understandable why Tarkin disliked the Jedi so much. Imagine spending your entire life as a military man and excelling at it but then some Police officers were put in charge of you as your General. I'd be pissed too especially when said Police officers would give orders that are more inclined for Police protocols than a military one.
I’d say it’s more like if warrior monks or janissaries had sway over regular army officers and units. Imagine a monk apprentice, somebody around 14-15 years old with no life experience being given any sort of position of authority again over professionally trained and experienced officers whether clone or regulars; possibly over you. Then you can understand Tarkin’s chagrin towards Ahsoka on Lola Seyu.
That’s because the Jedi are the bad guys in the prequels
@@darbyohara uhhh are you talking about the same Star Wars… theyve never been the bad guys
@@darbyohara stop being so hyperbolic
@@johnkaiser709 yes they are. In the movies themselves luke admits the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Their hubris and inability to embrace emotions is what created imbalance and destabilized and disconnected them.
Luceno is a GENIUS, what a backstory. What an upbringing, it's no wonder Wilhuff grew up to be such a ruthless and sociopathic monster. Thankfully the Tarkin family isn't known to produce force-sensitives. Can anyone IMAGINE the sort of Sith Lord someone from the Tarkin family would make?
I mean palpatine was from a wealthy family so not that hard to imagine
@@sandianexpress1198 so was count dooku
@@megamckaren9042 i mean douku is a former Jedi
Honestly i like him more after seeing the tales of the Jedi
Most sith were subjected to the same or far worse according to legends.
Can we talk about how Tarkin went from full brown hair in Clone Wars, to going gray in Bad Batch, in less then a year?
Tarkin Rescue/Jedi Purge - 19 BBY
Destruction of Tipoca City - 19 BBY
Being evil is stressful I guess
Dye?
Probably had his first girlfriend. Women tend to do that do you 🤣
The stress is real
Regime change on a Galactic scale tends to do that to you.
Peter Cushing rules!
The "Tarkin" book is one of the few AWESOME stuff the New Canon has given to us. There's no doubt James Luceno wrote that book when the Legends continuity still existed
there are a bunch of good canon ones now. My favorite is Dark Disciple, but all the Thrawn books, Catalyst and Lords of the Sith just a few.
Not really, Tarkin in the novel went against his Legends history.
@Trey Stephens well then no more new Star Wars for you if that’s your criteria.
@@darkwolf4434 Luceno sure had to rewrite Tarkin's origin in order to be more fitting to the New Canon. But you can't deny that book was at first considered for the previous continuity as it is full of references to the Darth Plagueis novel, the Darth Bane Trilogy and other material.
@Trey Stephens then why are you here on a video talking about Disney canon version of tarkin. If your here to support the channel. The. Just comment good video and walk away.
"bigger is always better"
Tarkin,19 BBY
Said the Moff to the Stormtrooper, allegedly..
Hello there
"That's my boy"
Funny Mustache man
That's what she said.
@@rosiehawtrey I love how it's *«the»* Stormtrooper. No random one, but a very «beautiful», particular one.
Fun Fact: the narrator for the Tarkin audiobook is Euan Morton AKA the voice of the male Sith Inquisitor in Star Wars: The Old Republic
I knew I heard that voice somewhere before! He's such a great voice actor
Can't wait for complete life of R2-D2
This was great though
MetaNerdz, could you please make your own Star Wars ships, and put them in videos? I liked your breakdowns on all the official ships
yeah that would be cool
@@MetaNerdzLore awesome
This is really good. This fills in a lot of holes you never hear about. I listen to the audio book of Tarkan, which was a good book as well. Excellent work, keep it up!
"Fear, will keep the outer systems in line. Fear, of this Battle Station."
My eyes lit up when he first mentioned me. Tarkin that's my boy
Even Ahsoka could feel it threw the force,I reckon anyway.
lmfao, no she couldn't. ahsoka was not that good.
@@iamReddington well I disagree with your opinion but like assholes everyone has one.
@@kevinyoung6082 You can disagree all you want, doesn't mean you're right.
@@iamReddington believe in what you want & I’ll do what I think is right. Sorry I just think Ahsoka is awesome & even better after she left the order.
@@kevinyoung6082 She's not awesome, never was never will be. It's so funny how people act like her leaving the order was some huge thing. The ONLY reason she left was for favoritism and keeping her stupid ass alive. By the way, she didn't leave, she was kicked out.
I love these backstories on characters like Tarkin such that goes to show exactly how crazy intricate Palpatine's plan actually was.
Thank you so much!!!! Finally a story about tarkin. I have read the book 100 times I know because he is a very interesting Character. You did such a great job on this too. Thank you again😃😃😃😃😃
Tarkin had to get a phenomenal backstory to show how he became so imposing. I mean, he's the only person we see other than the Emperor who openly stands up to Vader without any fear of consequences.
I know that every youtuber and their brother has covered him, but I'd love to hear your interpretation of Dessel/Darth Bane's story. He's recently become one of my absolute favorite Sith Lords, his trilogy is God tier.
He is one of my favorite characters even though he’s evil and brutal.
I love this series cant wait for part 2
Tarkin is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, amazing backstory and screen-time.
From learning about the history of his home planet and it's technological advances in large weapons and starships I can see why Moff Tarkin was so fixated on the development of Project Stardust the DS1 Orbital Battle Station the Death Star and the massive Imperial 1 and 2 Star Destroyers and the super massive Super Star Destroyer the Executor that were created under the doctrine bearing his name.
This is such an amazing channel. Thank you for your hard work; and congratulations again on achieving 300,000!
An intelligent and interesting character that I love !
What incredible effort you put into this video, thank you for the lore!
Thank you for covering Tarkin. I love the book and character 😊🙏🏾😊
Incredibly well-written video, I love learning about a famous character that people don't actually know much about
You did a great job on this one well all of them for that matter for some reason I just really enjoyed this one
Very informative. Cant wait for part two. Keep up the amazing work.
the editing of this video is simply amazing.
thanks it was hard with so much from books but I'm glad you liked it
General kenobi .
@@MetaNerdzLore chad
What an incredibly well made video! 10/10 👌🏼
You have great videos. I really enjoy your level of narrator it’s very professional. I love these character life story videos they are the best!!
0:00 literally it’s cool that in the beginning the Vader theme plays when snaking meets tarkin
Excellent video. Very interesting and enjoyed the excerpts from the audiobooks too.
Can you do canon of Palpatine so far?? I love your obscure character videos more usually but I think you do the absolute best job of describing things, even movie scenes you explain motives better than the films
an EXTREMELY interesting character. glad this video exists
I’m so glad I’m subscribed to your channel
Ah yes, I was waiting for this. Will be watching with snacks ;)
One of our greatest heroes. Taken from us with so many other Imperial lives by Jedi devilry!
Love the video I did not know most information thanks dude nice video though
Another amazing video
Great video.
Love the Tarkin audiobook
Hey new you just got a new sub keep it up
Great job
Tarkin sounds like a Victorian era Australian Noble.
Could you please make a video on the Broken Horn from Rebels. That would be awesome. Love your videos
This guy right here. This is that guy.
I agree with core of his philosophy.
One of my favourite SW characters
Thank you
PT2 NOW PLSSSSS
I love the methods Tarkin uses to maintain order, they are most effective.
Up until he got hold of the Death Star.
Look at this Nazi talking
@@nebunezz_r you can't just give criminals a slap on the wrist and release them, and even then jail or prison would be too good for them. An example must be made of criminals in order to heavily reduce the level of crime in any region.
@@AtomicVisionary there is criminal, and then there's a planet native population.
Hearts and Minds win the rehabilitation process, terror breed resistance, case and point, post-war Allied force in west Berlin and Nazi Germany in france.
There was some very nice character voicing in this.
This just feels like Tarkin was in a genuine war and not the fars that was the clone wars he could have likely been a direct military rival to Grievous
I always like Tarkin in the way of how he believe in what he was fighting for. Also love the Tarkin book one of my favorite part of new canon
Every time I see a video for your page, I think the logo is the History Channel logo. Then I see what it really is and I'm like - basically. 😂
Supper in depth. Always to me Tarkin, was an under-estimated, under-showed villain.
Great work MetaNerdz!
Damn it I didn't realize part 2 wasn't out yet!!!!!
Thanks I'm hoping for this weekend
“A fine addition to my collection.”
Oh it's beautiful.
I really enjoy the 2014 Tarkin novel for some reason, listened to the audiobook 3 times now.
Yeah the audio is very calming yet captivating
You may upload when ready
Ha Ha Ha!!! I Love the Meta Nerd Art Montages. The Art is Over The Top!
It's intresting how similar Thrawn and Tarkin really are.
really? I don't think they are
They really arent Thrawn believed in a flexible military, he would have preferred more star destroyers or better TIE fighters. Tarkin while I could understand his Ideology it is however fundamentally flawed, people while could be considered animals are not ruled by instinct while animals do, this is where he fails, he thought by having the death star everyone would submit but it was the building of the death star that would be the empire undoing by plunging the galaxy into poverty making everyone think negatively of the empire and see them as tyrants.
@@videogameplayer7555 the reason I say they are so simular is because; they started from the bottom of the barrel in their respective military. Rising through the ranks dealing with rivals and making superior officers look like fools. I will admit how they did it was vastly different and I'd rather be under Thrawn's command any day of the week. However there is something nice about watching people beating the odds.
@@nfrandom3701 Thats true I thought you meant on a ideology level thats my bad but I see your point. Yeah Tarkin beating odds and with what you said by saving everyone and even though he doesnt say it outright he is far more competent than his superiors during his time in the Military.
Happy to stumbled in this. Love tarkin but it’s quiet telling that palpating didn’t really have to manipulate him. Just test him. Tarkin was brilliant but palps saw that tarkin was a machine of order that will continue to do the right thing for the name of order.
Great choice in character Bio. I think Tarkin has been an under appreciated character, for how wide his story spans as far as canon lore and especially movies & tv.
Can u do a vid on the rothana class battle cruiser
I've watched all the movies, seen all the animated series, and even read Tarkin's book... and I have just never been much of a fan. I've always seen him as a diet version of Thrawn.
This however is probably the most enjoyable delivery of the character as a whole.
About to jump on Part 2 of this.
When will part 2 be out
20:23 palpatine: “Well actually I AM the senate”
40:45 The chilling imperial march
there should be a tv series on this. I would watch it
Life of palpatine please. Good video btw
Do a complete life video about the clone battles of the clone wars
Did anyone else notice the imperial March anthem playing in the background thus noting the path they both will share in less than 5 years time 40:42
Am I The only one who would love a Revan video? Please do one love the channel and would love to hear his story from your point of view
When will part two come out?
Young imperial officer: I don't wanna fight you
Tarkin: ring the bell you pansie
Thank
Willhuff Tarkin face is the great English actor Peter Cushing, played in over a 100 movies, including 1958-Dracula as dr.van Helsing
When is part 2 coming?
Know people have done Vader comics before but this guy should absolutely do the complete life story which would include anakin too, it’d be big but it’d be great, same with palpatine which hasnt been done to the same extent as Vader has.
Can you make complete lifes of Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos in Legends?
Went and bought the tarken book, I wish I didnt already have audible so you could have gotten some credit for the sale
Never outshine the master…a rule even Tarkin was forced to learn through experience lol holds true throughout time even in fiction
Can you do a video on the new juggernaut seen in the Mandolorian?
What the background music
I was wondering why you hadn’t posted in so long
lol yeah this one is going to be a long series
@@MetaNerdzLore there's more?!
Me to broke to afford the tarkin novel: we will watch your career with great interest
YOOOOO let’s gooo
LETS GOOOO
