Leia says his name right before the destruction of Alderaan.
Shows how good my memory is for a movie I've seen at least a dozen times.

I think he's only referred to as "Governor Tarkin" by Leia, don't think Grand Moff is ever mentioned.
Grand Moff is in the SW student edition that I still have from the Book Club of 1978
Who the feck is Kyle Katarn? If they only appeared in novels or whatever, you gotta assume they won't be in the films at all, much less have a film based around them.

Vader's role was changed after A New Hope. In that film he's officer-level and other officers openly disagree with him (not just the guy he chokes). Empire Strikes Back onward they're terrified of him.

He's also in Episode III at the end when they're overlooking the construction of the Death Star.
The Grand Muff is aka Peter Cushing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cushing
He died in 1994.
Did they CGI him into the end of Ep 3?
LOL at this
Star Wars[edit]
In 1976, Cushing was cast in Star Wars in the part of Grand Moff Tarkin. He was presented with ill-fitting riding boots, which pinched his feet so much that he was given permission by director George Lucas to play the role wearing his slippers. The camera operators filmed him only from the knees up, or else standing behind the table of the Death Star conference room set.

The great Peter Cushing. One of the best.
Grand Moff Trakin was played briefly in the prequels by Wayne Pygram, ans Aussie actor from Farscape, and also from on episode of Lost (as Isaac of Uluru in the Bernard and Rose episode in s2)

If it didn't happen in a movie it doesn't exist.
Don't be one of those "book canon" idiots.

That's a magnificent trivia night question right there.

Tarkin was in Episode III.
Thought the guy who did it imitated Cushing's posture quite well.
Strong resemblance too.
Well * me...a zombie actor...what next...head transplants?Strong resemblance too.
Also now a non-canon character.
