Wait, what? Motti's in RO?? Which actor plays him? Is the guy who gets interrupted by Krennic during the Jedha attack supposed to be Motti?

What? I missed this all this time? Where's Motti in RO? That's awesome!
I just did a google image search on "Rogue One Motti" and nothing came up except ANH pics of Admiral Motti.
Misunderstanding there. Was saying the officer Khev mentionned in his post (the one informing Tarkin's shuttle was ready for evacuation in ANH) wasn't as iconic as Motti even if he also appeard in RO (the one telling Tarkin's there was a Rebel attack on Scarif).

The chair would be both cool and boring at the same time. Displayed on the chair without the table he'd look like a guy on an Imperial talk show - you'd feel the need to cross his legs or something.
Looking at that pic, you can see how HT mistook the three punched belt holes for rivets - they do look like rivets there. Hopefully they catch that for the production fig.
Hehehe Imperial talk show........
The chair has much symbolism for the character. Go back and watch Star Wars he delivers the majority of his lines in and around the chair, poking on comms and other things.
All the Emperor did in the OT is walk off a space shuttle and roll up the elevator to his lazy boy and everyone is wanting that chair. We are kind of double standarding "guy in chair I think" hahaha. Tarkin was OG chair guy.
I know most will want to pose him in wiley crazed uncle rubbing his chin, chewing nuts (me too) but he did deliver great dialogue in the imperial Four Points Sheraton DS conference room and would be nice to get an accessory included for a different display option.
I think a choke hold Vader standing behind Tarkin with an angled glance would also be a very menacing display, even if he has to cross his legs waiting on the next guest to arrive on the show.
This isn't the RO version?? Major PASS!!
Did some research actually. Thought i read somewhere Tarkin's assistant was the same in both RO and ANH. Not really looking at those stills.
The RO officer who advised Tarkin of the Rebel incursion on Scarif was much older (and balder) than the ANH "shall I have your shuttle standing by" guy.
EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you just realized that yourself.
Tarkin's assistant in RO is Kavish.
But does Kavish appear in AHN as well? Isn't he one of the officers in the conference room?
EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you just realized that yourself.
It's really hard to learn all the new side character names when we don't have Kenner figures to help us out like we did with Lobot, Bossk, Bib Fortuna, Nien Nunb, etc.

That hits it on the head. I never realized how important the backs of those cards were to me learning all of those supporting and minor character names.
Heck yeah, those cardbacks were all we had for three years at a time.

His name is General Hurst Romodi, and he is also in ANH in the Death Star briefing room scene.
They chose someone from that scene that could be easily recast with a similar looking actor to play the same character as another visual link between RO and ANH.

Thanks for clearing that up. Had those characters all mixed up.

The HT Rogue One Tarkin fig will come with a special moving jaw feature so he can "talk" just like he does in the movie.
