Tarkin
Here's another probably Ep2 character we haven't discussed in a while. What do you think his role will be and who do you think will play him? I'd like to see him played by Ralph Finnes.

I think Gabriel Byrne or Robert Carlyle. I think the character will be on the Republic side to start off with but will quickly change when the Empire is formed. I think he will be a very complex character, always changing sides.

in Rogue Planet by Greg Bear, Wilhuff Tarkin has a substantial role. he manipulated people almost as effortlessly as palpatine, and admits his allegience to palpatine as chancellor. he even discovers plans for a huge round space station prepared by an engineer (i forget the names, i read the book a while ago), and you can almost see the gears turning in his head. he is sent to do some nasty stuff by palpatine. you can see a relationship forming. he hints that the future of the Republic (soon-to-be Empire) is humans. Not alien creatures and certainly not droids (meaning the coming clones i think). a good book. i hope he finds a place in II and III. he's been one of the more interesting characters that never quite get enough screen time (probably because he died, but still . . .)

I don't think we will see Tarkin as early as Ep. II but we should definitely see him during the III episode.

Perhaps he gets minor time in Ep2 as one of Palpy's loyalist and deadliest followers. Maybe he could lead the space attack during the clone wars(fighting for the clones). In Ep3 he should have a larger role as the military commander of the new Empire, or he has something to do with the death star prototype. Anyway, Bryne would be cool too, I was holding out hope on him being cast as Thrawn. The guys not as thin, evil and emancipated as Finnes.

Colin Hanks
Man, i didn't know that either. Want to tell more more about him if you know who he is, and what he's been in? If he was being considered for Ani though I doubt he'd be good playing the evil 30 something Tarkin in Ep2-3.

Re: Colin Hanks
Yeah I think he's only 22, so him being Tarkin probably won't pan out...
I still haven't found a pic of him...but the fact that he was up for Anakin kind of speaks for itself
He was in "That Thing You Do" as a male page...(you'd think he could have gotten a bigger role considering it was his dad's pet project). He was also in Whatever it Takes...He played someone named Cosmo if that helps...I haven't seen either one of the movies..

Re: Colin Hanks
Haven't we covered the Colin Hanks scenario? If not, I think he might be too young for the job. I think a 30 year old is adequate for Ep.II or III.

Re: Colin Hanks
Fiennes is 35, guant, hatchet faced and mean. He's a great actor who could esily pick up Tarkins mannerisms and accent. Bryne is 43, and I don't know about Carlyle but I'm guessing between 27-33.

Re: Colin Hanks
I'd take Bryne as Tarkin in a second if I wasn't still holding out in my dream of seeing him play Thrawn.

Re: What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Tim Roth would make a great Tarkin. I must say Finnes and Byrne sound good too.
