Abombz!! Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Hey....does anybody remember Grand Moff Tarkin?http://www.theforce.net/episode3/index.shtml#22019 Nice! Is he going to be in Eps 3? Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Nice! Is he going to be in Eps 3? That's what the spy reports say, but nothing's official so far. These pics just showed up last night, but the rumors of a "prosthetic Tarkin" have been circulating for a few weeks now. I think they're done by the same FX crew that handled the makeup on Farscape, as I recall hearing a report that they had been contracted for some Ep III work. Still, I'd take this with a grain of salt for the time being, at least until photoshop-savvy types can inspect them. The "other" SW sites are united in debunking them, but I think that has more to do with petty internet fanboy rivalries (PIFR, for short) than any actual analysis of the photos. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Hey....does anybody remember Grand Moff Tarkin?http://www.theforce.net/episode3/index.shtml#22019 I wonder if he's going to act in his slippers again. :D Quote

It would make sense though.... I would think Moff Tarking was a fairly important person to the empire... having him in as the Empire is born would make alot of sense. Quote
Beware of Blast Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Hey guys, I apologize if I brought back any bad memories about the Yoda? comercial. That was just my blind stab at trying to be funny. I honestly have not seen or heard that commercial before. Quote
Amped Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Joey Lawrence looks just great. I know he'd make it big ever since his first WHOA in Blossom. *snarfs Coke thru nose* Actually, when I first saw that pic, for some reason I thought of 70's teen idol Lief Garret... which, I suppose, bodes well for them achieving a pseudo-70s style for the film. At least they got rid of the bad Jedi mullet/ rat tail sh*t from the first coupla films. Ya know, as much as I hated (as in Damn you Lucas for poopin' on my childhood mythos-kinda seething hated) Episodes 1 & 2... I may actually have to sneak into a theater to see this one (wha??!? You think I'm gonna pay to see this dreck?!?). I'm rather intrigued to see how cheesy it's gonna be. Tarkin looks like a rejected extra zombie movie. Man, this'll suckeroo!!! Quote
Omni Existence Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Holy crap! This SOB is a freaking clone of Hammil!! Yep.... bad acting included. B) Yeah, but he [Mark] does great cartoon voices Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 (edited) Well, boys and girls, it looks like those Tarkin pics were real. LFL just told theforce.net to take 'em down, and they don't do that just for fakes/fanart. Tarkin looks like a rejected extra zombie movie. *snort* Yeah there's NO resemblence, is there? Edited September 19, 2003 by bsu legato Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 I wonder if he's going to act in his slippers again. :D HE'D BETTER!!! The saga's continuity hangs in the balance! I Luca$ doesn't... *several paragraphs of AICN fanboy ranting omitted*...raped my childhood! Quote
Abombz!! Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Wasn't the guy who played Tarkin dead? Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Wasn't the guy who played Tarkin dead? Very dead. This is an extensive make-up job. Quote
Abombz!! Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Wasn't the guy who played Tarkin dead? Very dead. This is an extensive make-up job. Bah! I was expecting Lucas to start bringing ppl from the dead for his movies... I guess I will have to hope for next time. <_< B) Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Wasn't the guy who played Tarkin dead? Very dead. This is an extensive make-up job. ...done by the the Raelian religious cult. Quote
tom64ss Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 *snarfs Coke thru nose* I hope snarf means it's coming out and the capital "C" means it's "carbonated". Tarkin looks like a rejected extra zombie movie. Peter Cushing looked like a zombie even when he was young. Him and Vincent Price were just creepy looking people if you ask me. Great movies though. cobywan- Darth Dumbass BoB-Yoda on Yoshinol LMAO Quote
JELEINEN Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Well, boys and girls, it looks like those Tarkin pics were real.

Why does the new one from the prequal look older than the original? Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Why does the new one from the prequal look older than the original? No sure what you mean there, JELEINEN. Here's the second "leaked" photo with another Cushing comparison. Quote

bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Well, the story is that these are supposedly pictures taken of a picture, so that may account for the "look" of them. Heck, they could still be elaborate photochop jobs. I'm not putting too much faith in any spy reports just yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Quote

JELEINEN Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 (edited) No sure what you mean there, JELEINEN. I mean, the new guy (assuming it's a real actor) looks like he's at least ten years older than Cushing in a film that's set at least twenty years before the Cushing was in. Edited September 19, 2003 by JELEINEN Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 New LEAK REVEALED! In a bold cross-promotional move GEORGE LUCAS and the undead zombie of GENE RODDENBERRY have collaborated in a hollywood coup to cast the role of Grand Moff Tarkin! Now Star Trek is officially Star Wars canon! And vice versa! This move single handedly saves both properties from the toilet! Quote
Sarensaas Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 I mean, the new guy (assuming it's a real actor) looks like he's at least ten years older than Cushing in a film that's set at least twenty years before the Cushing was in. I agree; too much make-up. They went overboard on the cheekbones, too much red around his eyes, and the nose is too wide. I think they might be exaggerating Peter Cushing's features so that non-fans recognize who it is easier. I wish they would have went more subtle. Quote

Ohh...I see. To me, the first one looks, at most, to be the same age as Cushing. However, the second photo looks considerably younger, IMHO. I don't think these are the same makeup appliance, though. These could be two different tests, or similar makeup on two different actors. So based on that premise, who knows what the final version will look like? Quote
Abombz!! Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Still... the enw guy looks too old. Moff Tarkin would look way older 20 years later if he looked like that 20 years younger. Quote
EXO Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 We're talking about a universe were Anakin can outgrow Padme in a couple of years... Quote
Abombz!! Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 We're talking about a universe were Anakin can outgrow Padme in a couple of years... How old was Padme in Eps I? 14? How old was Anakin? 8/10? 6 to 4 years in not alot... seriously. It can happen. Some boys are knowing to change over a short time. Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Ep I Anakin - 10 yrs old Padme - 14 yrs old Ep II Anakin - 20 yrs old Padme - 24 yrs old Ep III Anakin - 23-24 yrs old Padme - 27-28 yrs old Quote
Abombz!! Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Ep IAnakin - 10 yrs old Padme - 14 yrs old Ep II Anakin - 20 yrs old Padme - 24 yrs old Ep III Anakin - 23-24 yrs old Padme - 27-28 yrs old See? 4 years is not alot. Anakin in Eps 2 still acts like a teen... while Padme is a little more mature (yeah right). Are there any pics of Obi Wan yet? I wonder what he is going to look like. Quote
Agent ONE Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 The best matches can be younger guys with older women... more equal sex drives. Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Are there any pics of Obi Wan yet? Yes. I'll look for them when I get home, in about 45 minutes. Quote
EXO Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 So we can overlook the amazing growth spurt on Anakin but not the slow rate Tarkin deteriorates. Maybe as skeletal as he is, he just likes to use lotion or something... Quote

Knight26 Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 In regards to the leaked Tarkin Pictures: Remember you are comparing pictures of photos again white backgrounds to stills from the movie. Makeup in movies is laid on pretty thick because the lights tend to wash them out otherwise. People in movie makeup tend to look fake up until the point you see them on screen, it's all due to the lights. I'm sure the guy will look much better in the film and movie stills. Lets put it this way as well, in order for Portman's elaborate makeup in the first one to show up as well as it did she would litterly have a good pound plus of makeup on her face. Quote
bsu legato Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Here you go, Abombz. These were snapped by a photographer for a bike magazine, of all things! Quote
