Why does Tarkin refer to Vader in ANH as the last of his kind?
It seems that the emperor was not developed by Lucas to be a Sith Lord at the time, but just a title with no character development.

He's "Governor" in Star Wars as well. I'm not sure where the "Grand Moff" nonsense came in; it's nowhere in the movie.
I suppose one could fake up an argument that, even thought the Emperor has Force ability, he was never a Jedi while Anakin was. So Anakin really would be the last (leaving out Obi-Wan and Yoda, presumed dead.)

The sith don't have the same training as a jedi, but their force abilities are the same if not rivaling the jedi's, no?
That line still doesn't ring tru, Tarkin was refering to all those who commune with the force i'm afraid...

Or go the simple road, and say no one knew the emporer was a sith.

*Ponders* You're right, it's not mentioned! I never really thought about that before. It is pretty accepted as canon as far as I know as at the time of New Hope all the advertising blurb, interviews, etc all list Peter Cushing as "Grand Moff Tarkin". There is a making of Star Wars documentary from the late 70's where Lucas refers to him as that as well. This is well before all the post '83 EU stuff that caused more contradictions than the latest extrusion of films (which is pretty impressive in itself). So ummm, yeah.. Grand Moff.. umm, maybe we should ask Geor... no, that's a dumb idea isn't it!!

well, if Jar Jar is general material, then Vader is probably supreme allied commander
