Overview
Tarkin chronicles how Wilhuff Tarkin meets and aligns himself with Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader prior to the events of A New Hope, and explores Tarkin's origins.
Publication
With the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, most of the licensed Star Wars novels and comics produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars were rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014. Tarkin was subsequently announced as one of the first four canon novels to be released in 2014 and 2015.
