A slippery Imperial Governor

Quote of today
"This bickering is pointless."

Grand Moff Tarkin ends a discussion
A New Hope
Today we remember...
Peter Cushing at his birthday (born 1913, died 1994, 11 August)

Peter Cushing was born in England, UK and played Grand Moff Tarkin in A New Hope.

The costume boots he had to wear as Grand Moff Tarkin were too small and hurt his feet. Peter Cushing asked if he could wear slippers instead and George Lucas agreed. In every scene were we cannot see his feet he wears slippers (rumors says it was fluffy bunny slippers)
Maybe slippers like theese

















Grand Moff (Wilhuff) Tarkin was an Imperial governor and a brilliant and ruthless tactician. He died when the first Death Star was destroyed.

Today we celebrate...
Wayne Pygram at his 50th birthday (born 1959)
Justin Dix at his 41st birthday (born 1968)


Wayne Pygram was born in Cootamundra, Australia and played Governor Tarkin in Revenge of the Sith.
He got this part because of his resemblance to Peter Cushing, who portrayed Tarkin in A New Hope 28 years earlier.

Justin Dix was born in Victoria, Australia and was a droid unit technicians for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. He also made a small cameo appearance in Attack of the Clones as a Outlander Club patron.

Governor Tarkin is the Imperial governor of the Outland Regions.

Dixon Just is a human in the Outlander Club
