Tattooine? Eh. He'd had fantasies. Not of a strike without warning, but total destruction of the planet and its native people. And the Hutts. Let everyone else flee.
But not what Tarkin had done. It had occurred to him when the order was given that Palpatine was always going to use it, for this, that it wouldn't have stopped.
He hated the project all the more then. He had meant what he he'd said, almost two decades before: peace, freedom, justice, security. The Death Star was none of that. He'd wondered in the years since how Thrawn would have killed Tarkin, had the man lived. Because he didn't doubt he would have.
He barely turns his head, then hustles Luke to the other seat before taking his own. He doesn't need to map the route, he knows it by memory.
"Almost all of Naboo's native predators live in the water. Do not enter water you cannot see through." Not that he wouldn't go in after Luke.
