Tarkin was Wayne Pygram in a halloween mask :
other people were tested in better makeup, here is Christopher Eccleston (yes, that Christopher Eccleston):
Uncanny as that looks (and why they didn't go with it is beyond me) they could have saved the effort by casting the greatest Doctor Who we've never had, Bill Nighy.
Not only would he not need the make-up, I'm sure he could do the voice as well.
Christopher Eccleston is definitely better there but i still have a problem with both of them looking nearly as gaunt and old as Tarkin is in ANH except only with brown hair. 20 years span between ROTS and ANH i mean come on...
