I guess it depends on how much dexterity Vader's fake hand gave him.

At the end of the day ask yourself who the Emperor cares more about: his super powered cyborg..or some d-bag who is quite easily replaceable.
Who would get in more trouble for killing the other for no reason? Vader or Tarkin?
Put it another way: you're a storm trooper and Tarkin orders you to do one thing and then Vader orders you to do something contradictory. Who are you going to disobey? Yep, we all know every single person is not going to disobey the emotionally unstable cyborg with magic powers.

I'd say Vader was more important to the Emperor than Tarkin was being you put it that way but Tarkin seemed to have more stroke.

Vader was powerful, Tarkin was prolly more fit to lead a large army.

Vader actually lead army's too during the Clone Wars remember. Tarkin might have been a better strategist.
Tarkin was also naive enough to believe Leia would tell the truth about the rebels.

This is such an out-of-character thing for you to say.

I was joking. Tarkin has him beat in every single category. Vader is an emotional failure and was weakness personified. Better ?

On the other hand Tarkin was too stupid to just destroy the moon in front of him instead of waiting to orbit around so he had a clear shot.
That is some b*tch ass shit.

Much better. But it's just your wrong opinion.

You're attempting to use reason on someone who is always in a state of emotional unreast. Seems you love a challenge.
But really, anyone who thinks Vader was actually Tarkin's puppet is also probably retarded on some level, if we're being honest.

If Vader was Tarkin's puppet he's like that evil puppet that becomes possessed and murderizes it's owner.
Even his name is stupid. Tarkin. Sounds like the name of a pesticide company.

You are just upset because if he wanted to Vader could have snapped his neck without a second thought. Or probably cave his face in with a single punch.

That's what makes it even more glorious since he could have crushed Tarkin but being the ***** Vader was he did nothing. He just took it.

I doubt Tarkin ever even kissed a girl.
Also yes it does make it glorious that Tarkin only lived as long as he did become Vader graciously allowed him to continue breathing.

Hm? That wasn't the moon the DS was going around. It was a gas giant. Yavin 4 was the moon.

I don't think firing a planet destroying laser through a gas giant would have been viable.
