"Rule through the fear of force rather than through the force itself."

The key words of spoken by favorite member of the Empire in his famous (or is it infamous) Tarkin Doctrine.

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. The only man in the galaxy able to command a Dark Lord of the Sith. He ballsy enough to destroy and entire planet. That's right, AN ENTIRE FLIPPIN' PLANET! So he made one mistake, one lousy mistake and that's what everyone remembers.* Whatever, he is still my favorite member of the Empire. And the fact that he was portrayed by the legendary Peter Cushing just makes it that much cooler. Oh, and let's not forget the little hottie girlfriend of his, Admiral Daala. Really, need I say more?
