[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6802077, member: 6803337"] After watching Ep3, this change might have been in order... Anakin/Vader, chasing Kenobi towards the lava flow, should have passed some clone troopers led by a tall thin guy who is an ambitious lieutenant with aspirations to higher position (Tarkin). He asks Anakin if he needs help; Anakin says "No, I'll take him myself," and departs through a door. Tarkin thinks about it a minute (realizes that Anakin is special to Palpatine) and tells his troops "Jedi are dangerous opponents. We're going to back him up." They cannot keep up once the two combatants get over the flowing lava, and only arrive after Kenobi leaves Anakin behind gravely injured and near death. (Maybe Kenobi leaves because he senses their approach?) Tarkin orders his men to rescue Vader and he calls for medical support. When the Emperor finally arrives, Tarkin has the situation well in hand - Vader is wrapped in a medpallet - and is clearly responsible for saving Vader from death. This improves his standing in Palpatine's eyes immensely AND establishes him as somebody who figures out the Emperor's will and implements it without having to be constantly supervised. Between movies, it seems that he and Vader occasionally work together, both of them help the other out when necessary. They are rivals for the Emperor's attention and for influence, but they are not enemies. Neither are they friends. They watch each others' backs and do not gloat over each other when something goes badly. (As a result, the Emperor usually keeps them busy and far away from each other - building the Death Star and finding the stolen plans is an unusual intersection by this time.) I do not see Tarkin pointing fingers at somebody else during the Emperor's "after-action report" when a project goes awry; I see him explaining how he made the best of a collapsing situation and brought out something - albeit not what was wanted originally - despite all obstacles.
