Was Tarkin even in the film at all? If so, I totally missed it.
Imdb ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121766/ )lists him in the cast, but I don't remember him making an appearance at all. Maybe his scene was cut?

Right at the end, when the Emperor is looking out on the Death Star being constructed on the bridge of the Star Destroyer. Vader walks up and joins him and an officer who was speaking with him; Tarkin, walks away at his arrival. Just a likeness as a younger man.

Is there anything in the film to indicate that's Tarkin, rather than Random Imperial Officer #141535?
|
No, it is most definetely him. Trust this Star Wars nerd.

Yeah, but how does the viewer know that?
I'm as big a Star Wars fanboy as anyone. I had heard before that Tarkin was making an appearance in this film, so I was on the lookout for him. If it went over my head, 99.9% of the film's viewers are not going to make the connection between "that officer on the bridge with Palpatine and Vader" and "that officer who bossed Vader around on the Death Star".
