Is there any signifigance to Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing who made films together playing Count Dooku and Moff Tarkin?
don’t know for sure. perhaps lucas liked the classy way they portray evil villiams.
No, Cushing was the good guy, Dr. Van Helsing.
No particular significance. Cushing was just right for Tarkin; Lee was an excellent choice for Dooku. It’s possible that GL gave some extra weight to the thought of giving Lee the role as a tribute to Cushing – the two Englishmen were very good friends in addition to working together – but there’s no other significance than that.
One wonders if GL has any plans to bring in friends of Alec Guinness, John Barry, Leigh Brackett, or any other dead Star Wars alumni. Somehow I doubt it, but he is a sentimental kinda guy.
Didn’t Guinness come to dislike the role?
Come to? No. He disliked it all along, begging Lucas to kill him off. So Lucas did, and brought him back as a ghost.
Anyone know if there’s any possibility of seeing a much younger Tarkin in the next movie? He’s long been a personal favorite of mine.
I figure Tarkin has to show up in the next one, since Vader answers to him in Star Wars.
Yes, he answers to him:
“This bickering is pointless. Vader - release him!”
“As you wish.”
Is Moff a name or a title? What did he do besides drive a stake through Vader’s hea…err, hold Vader’s leash?

Where’s that from, Ino? Is there defined canon, like Trek?
