Why was Grand Moff Tarkin able to issue orders to Darth Vader? During the Clone Wars, Palpatine tested Tarkin’s loyalty by sending Count Dooku to see if Tarkin would join the Separatist Alliance. But Tarkin refused, remaining loyal to the Republic and Palpatine. Tarkin’s disdain for the Jedi was no secret. Having fought alongside them as a Republic naval officer, he witnessed their weaknesses and shortcomings. He believed they had failed to maintain peace and requested that Palpatine remove them from the battlefield.

After the formation of the Empire, Tarkin's elimination of numerous rebel cells resulted in his promotion to the rank of Grand Moff with authority over the Outer Rim sectors. While Darth Vader and Tarkin rarely got along, the Emperor made it clear Tarkin was untouchable. Tarkin eventually discovered that Vader was Anakin Skywalker but kept the secret as he admired Vader's ability to induce fear in his enemies.
