TARKIN IS BACK! STAR WARS REBELS CALL TO ACTION

starwarsunderworld.com posts: TARKIN IS BACK! After having his name dropped several times in the premiere of Star Wars Rebels back in October, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin will be making his first appearance on the series next week. The episode "Call to Action" premieres on Disney XD next Monday February 9th, but was made available this morning to subscribers on the Watch Disney XD app.

The episode will see voice actor Stephen Stanton reprise the role after playing the character on several occasions in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The character first appeared in A New Hope back in 1977 and was played by the legendary actor Peter Cushing. The episode description reads, "As public awareness increases around the Rebels activity, they target an important Imperial network." How Tarkin fits into this is still unclear, but you can bet he's not too happy about what the crew of The Ghost have been up to for the past several episodes.

ONE WEEK BEFORE RELEASE OF JAMES LUCENO TARKIN

For all you Peter Cushing / Tarkin / Star Wars followers out there...there is just one week to go before the release of James Luceno's book STAR WARS: TARKIN! ....'Bestselling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing a legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life.' ....'The novel provides a nuanced, multi faceted anti hero that is captivating, ominous, and calculating, in many ways, this is an original tale of the Empire, as much as it is Tarkin. It may very well be one of my favorite Star Wars novels..' Dan Z. Coffee..
