: "Oh, I'm sure we'd have managed with a flattened bard somehow." The thief chuckled, coughed a few times, then continued. "Still and all, quick thinking and a charmed life is basically the perfect combination for being a skilled rogue. If you ever decide to hang up your guitar and earn a dishonest living, I can give you the names of some people who specialize in that sort of thing."
: "Very slick thinking. You got lucky, but still..."
: "Well, that was surprisingly anticlimactic. That guitar of yours works wonders, Lilly."
Due to quirks of language differences, a lemon in portuguese is what you'd call a lime. So lemonade is lime juice. Actually pretty good stuff.Does it also include some sugar water to cut the sourness a bit? Because here in the States we call that "limeade"

That's not Tarkin, no. And Tarkin's power is lesser in Rogue One than A New Hope, specifically because of his secured command of the Death Star.Also no surprise that he was so prepared to destroy an Imperial installation that just so happened to have his chief rival sitting on top of it.
There's no clear relation of Tarkin and Vader in the Imperial hierarchy at all. Vader doesn't have any rank outside of being the Emperor's second, and Tarkin is just a governor, but once he obtains command of the Death Star I can guarantee you no other governor matches him. That's the Empire for you.
Vader not killing that one guy in A New Hope is out of a combination of respect for Tarkin's competence and being the commanding officer of the Death Star, much in the way that nobody on a Navy vessel can countermand the ship's captain, even if they outrank them.
Tarkin's character is absolutely one who seeks to attain practical power through any means available, it's no surprise he intended to command the Death Star regardless of who technically created it.
