DEAD or NOT DEAD: Peter Cushing (Governor Tarkin in Star Wars)

Kodos · 09-11-2008, 10:28 AM

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

gottimd · 09-11-2008, 10:43 AM

If you look closely, as the death star explodes you can see an escape pod leaving just before the explosion.....wait for it......wait for it.....did you see it?

nice poll options

sterlingice · 09-11-2008, 11:08 AM

He looked like he had one foot in the grave in 1980. I can't imagine he's still alive today.

SI

BrianD · 09-11-2008, 11:34 AM

Long gone.

gottimd · 09-11-2008, 11:40 AM

I have a bad feeling about this....

Unfortunately, Mr. Cushing is no longer with us.

JediKooter · 09-11-2008, 12:48 PM

Dead. I thought I recognized his foul stench.

spleen1015 · 09-11-2008, 04:15 PM

He was Grand Moff Tarkin, not Governor Tarkin.

Kodos · 09-11-2008, 04:32 PM

Eh. IMDB had him listed as Governor Tarkin in the quotes section.

Didn't Leia refer to him as Governor Tarkin when she referred to his foul stench?

I thought he was Governor (Da' Gov) before the Empire started and was appointed Grand Moff once the empire started.

God I'm pathetic.

spleen1015 · 09-11-2008, 05:16 PM

In the credits section for Episode IV on starwars.com, he is listed as Grand Moff.

This is Lucas' fault.

Could be. Grand Moff was his official title, but I think Leia did refer to him as Governor. Maybe that was another subtle dig at him since in her Government that would still be his title.

You aren't the only one who is pathetic.

larrymcg421 · 09-11-2008, 05:30 PM

Per IMDB, she calls him "Governor", but he is credited as Grand Moff. Possible explanation: He was Governor and that's how she knew him from before rebellion/empire stuff started. She certainly wouldn't care to refer to him as Grand Moff.

Now I'm taking off my geek hat and going back to fighting over politics and recommending movies where Keanu Reeves sells Lori Loughlin to a pimp.

Just don't visit the website.

JediKooter · 09-11-2008, 07:31 PM

His military title is Grand Moff AND he is a Governor.

ColtCrazy · 09-11-2008, 10:14 PM

And he was also Doctor Who in the movies. And I'm sure he's long since passed on.

What the fuck is a Moff?

Kodos · 09-12-2008, 09:18 AM

As our poll voters guessed, Mr. Cushing died decades ago. RIP, Grand Moff.

Let us just celebrate in the glory that he was not "Grand Muff" Tarkin.

Vader and Tarkin were a little too close for me to think that he had or even wanted a wife.

Vader finds your lack of tolerance for his homosexual relationship with Tarkin disturbing.

Well apparently Tarkin was holding Vader's leash.
