IMHO, it would be better to just take him out altogether as it's just another fan service moment...
And, this is a problem why?
Cause he looks like Peter Cushing fell into to a vat of hot oil and gained weight. It was nice but they should never add a character when the actor who played them died. IN ANY FILM. At least Alec Guiness was still alive when Ewan McGregor took over the role.
I recently made these posts in the "explanations" about Vader thread.

I personally don't have any problem with Tarkin's appearance in RotS. I felt like they successfully managed to portray him as younger, and even more built.
Yeah, that portrait shot of Wayne Pygram in his Tarkin make-up is pretty messy, but in RotS, since he's only in a wide shot, all I see is a Tarkin that's 20 years younger with broad shoulders and a chiseled jaw.

Nor is Tarkin's appearance merely an easter egg like those things you mentioned..
You're right, I could have described it better. Easter Egg is not the right term. It is similar to an Easter Egg in that, yes, it is fan service. However, it's harmless fan services as opposed to obtrusive fan service (EX: Boba Fett in AotC, Chewbacca in RotS, or the Death Star in the PT).
