What happened to Grand Moff Tarkin? In Star Wars he was the Emperors top military commander and in charge of the Death Star. No mention of him in PM, or AOTC, and I doubt he will be in ROTS.

This leaves a bit whole for which Lucas should fall in and drown.

Tarkin is indeed in ROTS, this is a fact as there are pictures of the actor wearing makeup to make him look exactly as a young Tarkin (its on Hyperspace though so I havn't seen it myself, but it exists). He's a Republic navy officer who will get in the Emperors good books.
