Grand Moff Tarkin Mighty Muggs - Star Wars Wave 6

grand MOFF TARKIN

PART OF THE STAR WARS MIGHTY MUGGS COLLECTIONS

Grand Moff Tarkin was a Human male from Eriadu who became the first Grand Moff. Born to an influential family, Grand Moff Tarkin lived a life of luxury on the Outer Rim planet Eriadu. Eventually, he became governor of the planet. Grand Moff Tarkin made many influential friends, such as Raith Sienar, and Palpatine.

"... we'll deal with your rebel Mighty Mugg friends soon enough."

When the Galactic Empire was formed in 19 BBY under now-Emperor Palpatine, the ambitious Grand Moff Tarkin became a Moff. Not long after, he was promoted to Grand Moff, the first individual to achieve such a rank.

Grand Moff Tarkin became very influential, and developed the infamous Tarkin Doctrine, which stated that the threat of force alone would prevent rebellions. During his time in the Empire, Grand Moff Tarkin met a young woman named Natasi Daala, who showed strategic brilliance despite the fact that she was a woman and thus discriminated against. Grand Moff Tarkin took her under his wing, and the two became lovers. She became an admiral, the only female to achieve such a rank.

When the Death Star project was commissioned, Grand Moff Tarkin was placed in charge. He used the mighty superweapon to destroy the planet Alderaan, in the belief that this demonstration of power would silence the Rebel Alliance. Grand Moff Tarkin and his theory were wrong, and he died when the Rebels destroyed the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin.

These soon to be released Grand Moff Tarkin Mighty Muggs stands at 6 inches tall. Who can deny owning this Nazi like character for their collection and how many of us hated him so much? :-)  Regardless, a nice addition to the family and I will buy this one for my very own collection.  Arrives in October - November 2008.
