I just found out that apparently Tarkin had an affair with a stormtrooper????

[airakale]

I don’t really have much expectations when it comes to Tarkin’s empathy. My guy blew up a whole planet in cold blood after all 🤷🏼‍♀️ still, to react so coldly towards your own niece’s murder… that’s a new level of fucked up 😅

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?)

Bonus: we finally got another glimpse at the Tarkin Family Estate and Eriaduan fashion, and in present day no less 😂 (honestly did they give Tarkin a new sibling? Or was that a cousin? Guess we’ll find out soon)

Do y'all think that TK-421 and Kallus knew each other? At least passingly? Because TK served on Lasan and I really can't think of any reason to have people stationed there after they devastated the planet and the Lasat. Like, I just find that idea so interesting to me. That they just happened to meet a few times on that planet, and likely never thought about the other again.

So I went to Amsterdam and got two sets at the big LEGO store there… just finished building one of them and it is another addition to the fleet for the LEGO Star Wars squad!

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.

Now the question is, who gets to own it? I’m thinking maybe Vader, since he doesn’t really have a build of his own? Dooku doesn’t either, but it doesn’t really make sense for him to own an Imperial build. 🤔

TK-421 sees a clear shot past the 323 days to May 4. What could go wrong?

[seizethegay420]

Fucking Wilhuff Tarkin apparently??: So, do you know why I called you here?

TK-421: Because I accidentally sent you a holo with my mask off?

Tarkin: *Stops pouring 2 glasses of space wine* Accidentally?

so in episode IV Luke murders TK-421, a canonically gay character.. who will never return to his problematic grumpy boyfriend.. and then Luke strips him of his armor and wears it himself.. the decision to watch Star Wars and read the iliad at the same time has been devastating
