    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.

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.

      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.

    This however is probably the most enjoyable delivery of the character as a whole.

This is where Palpatine would admit he is Anakin and then decide to give him a chance. This could be a great story.
