I'm sure you're right. For the record, the "Star Wars Storybook" (illustrated, around 1978) called him Governor Tarkin, and I think that's how Leia addresses him, right before Alderaan goes kablooey.

Well, hey, it's not like the series is known for its internal consistency. in "A New Hope", different characters pronounce "Leia" differently.

Though the best mispronunciation is when Leia greets Luke after the Death Star has been blown up and Luke pronounces her name as "Carrie."

i think this is a must ask question in all future debates for the presidency.

'do you support the potential blowing up of a planet should it be warranted?' surely the administration is limiting itself severely in being so rigid with their response.
