edit - if you see some on the various ebays around the world, it may be worth asking if the sellers would be willing to do you a hi-res scan for you? - and maybe offer them a few $s for their troubles?

there is one on the uk ebay now if interested? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-Episode-III-Revenge-of-the-Sith-Rare-Collectible-VHS-Video-Tape-/122412501609?hash=item1c805a8a69:g:UgUAAOSwsW9Y1Bed

It turns out the seller of that Episode III VHS tape on ebay is a member here - who has that VHS tape for sale as a listing in the ‘Memorabilia Discussion and Buying/Selling/Trading’ Section on here - it may be worth asking him if he could do you a hi-res scan of the cover for you?

Ah you see he’s in the UK. I’m in the US. But I’ll go and ask for a scan.

If he agrees to do a scan for you I’m sure he could email it you - or put it up on imgur or another online photo sharing/storage website?

Good luck with it mate 😃

  1. Tarkin is so close to looking real, it almost throws the whole illusion off

It was amazing what they pulled off with CG Tarkin, but I was always focusing on the CGIness whenever Tarkin was on.

Same here for the first couple of times I saw Tarkin up on the screen - as a bit of a fan of the old Hammer Horror era films with Peter Cushing et al, it somewhat pulled me out of the film to look to see how they did it, how real (or not) he looked, how it worked best (dimly lit shots for me - and I think a really good reflection shot) etc.

Took me a few watches to just watch it for what it was - a pretty good attempt at it, and a near spot-on portrayal from Guy Henry.

I think I’ve said this before, but As a fellow HAMMER fan, I think you might agree;
I couldn’t and don’t believe this being Peter Cushing, but I did and do buy it being the character of Tarkin.

Tarkin Lives!

I wish this was the tag line for ESB! I like that his hubris takes him down with the ship so to speak, but he’s my favorite Star Wars villain and I’d love it if he could have made it through to RotJ.

With my Hammer head on 😃 (sorry, bad pun)… as we didn’t see Tarkin get staked or decapitated when the Death Star blew up, for me he lives on 😉

It does make you wonder if Lucas or some of the higher-ups wished they hadn’t have killed him off in Star Wars - like you say, such a great character would’ve been interesting to see further on in the trilogy too…

I agree mate, though in the spirit of Hammer - Tarkin Lives! (which would make for a great title to an intriguing cross-genre horror from them 😉)
