Its Tuesday. So,how about another mini-excerpt from James Lucenos STAR WARS: TARKIN, showcasing the Grand Moffs meticulous attention to detail: He turned his clean-shaven face to both sides and lifted his chin. He folded his arms across his chest, then stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and finally posed akimbo, with his fists planted on his hips. Drawing himself up to his full height, which was just above human average, he adopted a serious expression, cradling his chin in his right hand. There were few beings to whom he needed to offer salute, though there was one to whom he was obliged to bow, and so he did, straight-backed but not so low as to appear sycophantic. “Eliminate the top line collars on the boots, and lower the heels,” he told the droid. “Of course, sir. Standard duranium shank and toes for the boots?” Tarkin nodded. Stepping down from the platform, out from inside the cage of laser tracers, he began to walk circles around the hologram, appraising it from all sides. During the war, the belted tunic, when closed, had extended across the chest on one side and across the midsection on the other; now the line was vertical, which appealed to Tarkin’s taste for symmetry. Just below each shoulder were narrow pockets designed to accommodate short cylinders that contained coded information about the wearer. A rank insignia plaque made up of two rows of small colored squares was affixed to the tunic’s left breast. Also be sure to check out our brand new dedicated landing page for STAR WARS: TARKIN.
