Grand Hog Tarkin

**Wilhog Tarkin**, better known as **Grand Hog Tarkin**, is the commander of the Pork Star, a giant spacecraft which he had grand ideas to create. Always alert, Tarkin joined Emperor Porkatine and Lard Vader along with the Pig Empire shortly after Peckme Amidala's death, being appointed as the commander to control the Pigtroopers while Red Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kaboomi travel Tatooine to gain some recruits to fight off Emperor Porkatine and his forces. After fleeing Tatooine, the commander sends out the Pigtroopers to slow them down while they think of a new plan to stop them.

After plowing through many Pigtroopers, the Rebels make it to the Pork Star. However, Wilhog manages to slow down the Rebels by sending out all of the Pork Star's defense and offense systems to go after the Rebels and annihilate them. Unfortunately, all go down until only Tarkin is left remaining. However, he eventually flees to prepare a new surprise: a powerful death ray installed within the Pork Star's snout cannons. Unfortunately, as Red defeats Lard Vader's TIE Fighter, he destroys the Pork Star by shooting torpedoes at the exhaust port, blowing up the Pork Star, and in the process, killing Tarkin in the process.

He is a minor yet pivotal antagonist in The Angry Birds Star Wars Show, and the Star Wars counterpart to Foreman Pig. He is voiced by Ronald Jackson Sr.

## Roles

Grand Hog Tarkin serves as the unseen central antagonist of Season 1: Tatooine, the secondary antagonist of Season 2: Pork Star, and a posthumous antagonist for the rest of the series.

## Appearance

Grand Hog Tarkin, being a counterpart of Foreman Pig, has all of his attributes; bushy orange eyebrows (which he states are his "ever-alert eyebrows"), bushy orange moustache (which is described as the biggest and bushiest out of all of the Pork Star crew which Tarkin praises) and cornflower blue bags under his eyes. (PLS PRETEND THE BAGS ARE UNDER HIS EYES ON THE IMAGE IN THE INFOBOX) Tarkin wears a militaristic uniform consisting of a brown military hat, and a military uniform that consists of 6 to 10 medals (most of which were awarded by himself).

## Personality

Grand Hog Tarkin, like Foreman Pig, is highly intelligent and always alert, and so much so that even his eyebrows are just as alert as him, as he calls them "ever-alert eyebrows", and that's because the eyebrows can "scare" anybody into doing what he says just by doing an angry expression. As such, everyone but the Rebels fear Tarkin for his always alert behavior and how he can basically force others into doing his bidding just by glaring at them. That said, these eyebrows will also change expressions against his will, such as when he ended up scared out Red preparing to destroy the Pork Star.

Tarkin is also very cruel and senseless, always having to boss the Pigtroopers around without showing any sympathy even if they get hurt or if they see something dangerous coming ahead. Tarkin even uses this cruel behavior to frighten Bird natives by threating to destroy their homes; even going to blow up Stella Organa's homeplanet Alderaan to test out the Pork Star's death ray function, ignoring the inhabitants of the planet itself. He also even threatens to shove one Pigtroopers' body into the Pit of Unescapability if they didn't activate Lard Vader's TIE Fighter. Emperor Porkatine has also stated that Tarkin once even left a Pigtrooper out into outer space all because he was snacking when he was supposed to be blowing up an entire planet to liberate it, get their resources, and use them for scrap to fuel the Pork Star.

Tarkin is also very egotistical, praising his moustache of being very bushy in spite of the Pigtroopers' disapproval of his egotistical comment, and has even awarded himself several awards in spite of the law stating: "No-one aboard the Pork Star is allowed to give themselves awards."

## Trivia

* Grand Hog Tarkin is mainly responsible for Red Skywalker and Stella Organa's reunion, since he is the one who blew up her home planet.
	+ As such, Tarkin can be seen as the posthumous overarching antagonist of Season 3: Hoth
* Grand Hog Tarkin speaks in a slight German accent.
* Tarkin has stated to have won 33 medals, in spite of the small size of his awards carrier.
* Despite his major role in destroying Stella's home planet, sending out the Pigtroopers to stop the rebels from reaching the Pork Star, and construction of the Pork Star, consecutively building up the events of the first 3 seasons, Tarkin plays a fairly small role due to only appearing in one season, being displayed as a minor yet pivotal villain in the show.
* If one looks closely in the explosion of the Pork Star, Tarkin's medals can be seen floating outwards, majority of them singed from the blast.
* Despite his name, Wilhog Tarkin is not a hog.
