Grand Moff Tarkin actually did survive the explosion. I remember reading a book about that. When the Death Star attack commenced, Tarkin, an old war hero, was shocked to see the troops die once more like in his old days. He reconsidered his career with the Empire and as everyone was too busy with the battle, he packed his stuff and hid in the Death Star basement, which is where he survived the explosion. He then took a cab home and retired on the beaches of Utapau.

The person we see right before the explosion is in fact Tarkin's bodyguard/body-double known simply as Billy. Apparently he did not survive the explosion but the evidence from last year's season of Clone Wars seems to suggest that he may have been saved as well.

Please give me some evidence to support your opinion!!!!

Otherwise, U just seem like some troll, spammer, or a silly nonsense poster!!!
