Tarkin is coming to The Clone Wars

StarWars.com has our first look at the future Grand Moff. He’ll make his cartoon debut February 18 in ‘The Citadel.’

I’ve always found your offering of a sliver of an image to be very classy, Dunc. You are to be commended!

Heh. Thanks.

About time.

I really hope they have him interact with Dooku in some way. It’s too perfect not to happen.

Good point Pabs, and yeah – Tarkin and Dooku, that would be genuinely cool to see.

Specially because of the “Christopher Lee” – “Peter Cushing” reunion… sort of.

Some of the concerns strike me as misplaced — like Clone Wars may jeopardize the clean, elegant and seamless EU jumble that is Tarkin’s backstory. :)

Juan-man – yeah, hadn’t initially thought of that, but now you mention it that will be VERY cool indeed to see on screen.
And yeah, there are minefields aplenty in terms of conflicting back-history. part of the fun of TCW is to take these and tidy them up, while acknowledging the prior histories that have been written (only got to look at the Boba/Jango/Mando history to see it can work, of sorts).
