Tarkin was the second best villain of the movies (PT and OT), and top five material for the whole of the EU.

That's funny. 😄
No. 😐

But in saying that Peter Cushing did do a fabulous job. The sheer arrogance and malice that was displayed from Tarkin in such short screen time was superb. I doubt even the great Christopher Lee could have done a better job as Tarkin, as Mr Lee himself was offered the part.
Peter kicked ass. Tarkin was a better villain than Dooku. But, Christopher Lee kicks just as much ass.
I know. The words "Christopher Lee" and "ass" probably turn you on. 😛

I dont agree with the list but I agree wth the reasoning. Dooku wasnt 'evil' as such. He was a political idealist who wanted a stable and secure Government, and went about it the wrong way.
Now that I think about it, they were alike in alot of respects. They both had strict 'Human-Only' beleifs. They were both at the helm of their inhumane war machines, the Death Star and CIS respectively. They each held their personal agenda behind a stunning display of charasmatic and deadly prowess. They were each killed by a Skywalker due to their extreme arrogance. Does anyone here know if GL intended the two characters to mirror each other in their respective trilogies. Because Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were very close friends and they are each in a league of their own when it comes to acting ability.
EDIT: 'Charmingest' - my new favourite word lol.
