So the questions I had when I started it were: “ Will this book help me see Tarkin as more of a complex character? Will understanding him make me dislike him any less?” Smarter than most Imperials, but still stone-faced, impeccably clothed, and well, kind of boring. But Tarkin has still always seemed kind of bland to me. Wilhuff Tarkin isn’t my very least-favorite character, that spot has always been for the real evil characters, the manipulators, who corrupt those who may have otherwise been decent people. This book, however, centers on a cold, brilliant, Imperial.

Usually, the stories I read are centered around the good guys, characters that inspire you, and who you can empathize with pretty easily. This book is very different from any Star Wars book I’ve ever read.

Today I am back to talk about another book, Star Wars: Tarkin, written by James Luceno.
