Editing Grand Moff Tarkin (section)

====''Star Wars Rebels'' (2014–2018)====
In the television series ''[[Star Wars Rebels]]'', Tarkin (voiced once again by Stanton) starts off as Governor of the Outer Rim territories, including [[Lothal (Star Wars)|Lothal]], but eventually receives his Grand Moff title.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Get your exclusive first look at Grand Moff Tarkin on 'Star Wars Rebels'|url=http://community.ew.com/2015/02/03/tarkin-on-rebels-exclusive/|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|access-date=February 10, 2015|date=February 3, 2015|archive-date=February 7, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150207071847/http://community.ew.com/2015/02/03/tarkin-on-rebels-exclusive/|url-status=live}}</ref> He visits the planet Lothal to deal with its growing Rebel activity, and reprimands Minister Maketh Tua ([[Kath Soucie]]), [[Agent Kallus]] ([[David Oyelowo]]), and the Inquisitor for their repeated failures to stop the planet's [[Rebel Alliance|Rebel cell]]. Tarkin has the Inquisitor execute Commandant Aresko and Taskmaster Grint (both [[David Shaughnessy]]) for their inability to deal with the cell's leader, Jedi Knight [[Kanan Jarrus]] ([[Freddie Prinze Jr.]]). Later, Tarkin sets a trap for the Rebels and manages to capture Kanan during their mission to send a message through one of the planet's communication towers. The Rebels' message gets sent out, but Tarkin then orders the tower to be destroyed. Kanan is tortured by the Inquisitor and transported to the [[Mustafar]] system aboard Tarkin's [[Star Destroyer]]. During Kanan's rescue by Rebel forces, Tarkin's Star Destroyer is destroyed, and the Inquisitor is killed. On Lothal, Tarkin introduces Agent Kallus to Darth Vader ([[James Earl Jones]]).

Taking the loss of his Star Destroyer personally, Tarkin orders that Maketh Tua be brought before him for her failure to find the Lothal rebels. Knowing the true meaning behind the summoning after the deaths of Aresko and Grint, Tua attempts to defect to the rebellion, but she is killed by Vader and Kallus before she can leave Lothal. Tarkin later appears in the season three premiere where he meets with Governor Pryce (Mary Elizabeth Glynn) regarding the Lothal Rebels. He subsequently grants her request for use of the Seventh Fleet, commanded by [[Grand Admiral Thrawn]] ([[Lars Mikkelsen]]). Tarkin appears via hologram in the season three finale, being briefed on Thrawn's imminent attack on Atollon to stymie a coordinated Rebel attack on Lothal. Towards the end of season four, he warns Thrawn that he must prove the worth of his [[TIE Fighter|TIE Defender]] program, Thrawn's prototype design of a new Imperial Star Fighter, or it will be shut down in favor of diverting resources to Krennic's "Stardust project" - which would eventually become the Death Star.
