    Agreed - Tarkin is a leader of the Galactic Empire, an extremely fascist regime modeled off Nazi Germany that also practices xenophobia.

    He is absolutely authoritarian right, not authoritarian left.

    Not sure a good choice for authoritarian left? Maybe Natasi Daala in the EU when she rules the GFFA and decides enough of a weird religious order being above the law (the NJO, of course)?

      Maybe Saw Gererra? Fight the power, the universe should be led by the people… but at any cost. Kill innocent people to achieve that Utopia.

      Tough to argue the that the visuals aren’t there in the uniforms or other aesthetics, but apparently George also had other empires in mind in the original series. Nothing that would put Tarkin in auth left though.

        Now that might make StarWars good again

        If ever they make A sequel trilogy they should make the empire split up Into many different factions and The Jedi and First Order remnants of the empire are just two factions in a GoT game vying for power.
