1 {scene: Death Star control room}
1 Imperial Officer: We've analysed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by?
2 Grand Moff Tarkin: Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!
3 [speaker]: Rebel base, three minutes and closing.
4 {scene change: a tropical paradise planet}
4 Imperial Officer: {lying on a banana lounge, sipping cocktails, chatting to a woman in a swimsuit} ... So I took Tarkin's ship for myself. After the Rebellion won, I sold it off for ten million credits, and here I am!

You always wondered what happened to that guy, didn't you?

Thanks to Mitchell Polley for this idea.

Prepare yourself though, because his Wookieepedia entry lies about his ultimate fate.
