In 2016, a Rogue One prequel novel called Catalyst attempted to reconcile the Attack of the Clones Death Star plans with Tarkin and Krennic’s role in the creation of the battle station later. Anderson’s Jedi Quest doesn’t count as canon anymore, it will be interesting to see if the Tarkin in The Bad Batch is already working on Death Star stuff with Krennic. His full name is Wilhuff Tarkin and in the expanded universe books, he was partners with Admiral Daala, and even had a miniature Death Star prototype stashed away in a secret Black Hole lab called The Maw Installation. With the very notable exception of James Luceno’s 2014 novel Tarkin, we simply don’t have a lot of real canon about the infamous Grand Moff. And as a result, we’re about to spend more time with Grand Moff Tarkin - and, potentially, Darth Vader as a result.īefore we talk about Vader, let’s talk Tarkin. The exact timing of The Bad Batch is during an utterly fascinating part of the Star Wars timeline - literally right after Order 66 and just as the Empire is starting to truly rise.
