Thursday has come once more, which means its #TarkinTime. Time for another mini-excerpt from James Lucenos STAR WARS: TARKIN. As you can see, tensions sometimes run a little high among Imperial officers... “Governor, your presence is required on Coruscant,” Amedda said after a moment. Tarkin moved to his desk and sat down, centering himself for the holocam. “I’ll certainly try to make time for a visit, Vizier.” “Permit me, Governor, but that will not suffice. Perhaps I should have said that your presence is urgently required.”Tarkin waved a hand in dismissal. “I’m sorry, Vizier, but that doesn’t alter the fact that I have my priorities.” “Priorities of what sort?” Tarkin returned Amedda’s mirthless smile. There was probably no harm in sharing with Amedda information about the expected ship¬ments of matériel from Desolation Station to Geonosis—including vital components for the battle station’s complex hyperdrive generator—but he was under no obligation to do so. “I’m afraid my priorities are on a need-to-know basis.” “Indeed. Then you are refusing the request?” Tarkin glimpsed something in the thick-skulled Chagrian’s pink-rimmed cerulean eyes that gave him pause. “Let’s say that I’m reluctant to abandon my post at this time, Vizier. If you wish, I’ll provide the Emperor with my reasons personally.” “That’s not possible, Governor. The Emperor is presently engaged.” Tarkin leaned toward the cam. “So engaged that he can’t speak briefly with one of his Moffs?” Amedda affected a bored tone. “That’s not for me to say, Governor. The Emperor’s concerns are on a need-to-know basis.” Be sure to visit out our dedicated landing page for STAR WARS: TARKIN via the link below.
