Vader took one look at Krennic and thought “Look at this bitch, trying to out cape me. In my lava fortress of all places. I’ll show him. Now where did I put my fog machine?”
I think Tarkin’s first question, before anything else, would be who Vader’s co-conspirator is, vis-a-vis the babymaking, and I’m imagining the look on his face when he learns it was Padme Amidala. The world’s longest “her? really?”. Honestly it would probably be the first crack in the Special Relationship they have, Vader vehemently defending his dead girlfriend and Tarkin standing his ground.
For the most part I think Tarkin would be cool with Vader having a kid in theory, but things would start to fall apart once he realized what a bad influence Luke is on his murderbot. Vader starts spending less and less time on what matters (ruthlessly enforcing the Emperor’s will), all the sudden he doesn’t want to go on all-night tyranny benders…he says Tarkin shouldn’t have so many weenie staff officers shot out of the airlock for being incompetent…the beginning of the end.
Game of Thrones au where everything is the same but instead of saying “my lord” they say “my dude”
He did not understand. “My dude? I said—”
“—my dude, when you should have said m’dude. Your tongue betrays your birth with every word you say. If you want to sound a proper peasant, say it as if you had mud in your mouth, or were too stupid to realize it was two words, not just one.”
shoutout to bilbo for not initiating mass murder when the dwarves ate all of his food because if that was me i would have ended the line of durin over a small block of cheese
