One of my favorite parts from the novel Star Wars: Tarkin is this paragraph from chapter 7 of the book: Tarkin didnt always agree with Vaders methods for dealing with those who opposed the Empire, but he held the Dark Lord in high esteem, and he hoped Vader felt the same toward him. Very early on in their partnership―soon after both had been introduced to the secret mobile battle station―Tarkin grew convinced that Vader knew him much better than he let on, and that behind that bulging lenses of his face mask, whatever remained of Vaders human eyes regarded him with clear recognition. More than anything else it was those initial feelings that had provided Tarkin with his first suspicion as to Vaders identity. Later, observing the rapport the Dark Lord shared with the stormtroopers who supported him, and the technique he displayed in wielding his crimson lightsaber, Tarkin grew more and more convinced that his suspicions were right.
