It was good CG though. I had to really look before concluding that it wasn't a real person.
He really was, though. The movie was about Tarkin's bid for power by seizing control of the Death Star project as much as it was about explaining how the Rebel Alliance got the plans in the first place. Y'know, the reason he's the Imperial big-shot in charge of it back during A New Hope.
He was critical, but didn't have to be central. He's essentially a galactic leader, he doesn't need to do these things himself. A quick cameo at the end to show he was pulling the strings would suffice.
Heck, he essentially has the leash on Vader in IV.
