I just couldn't understand the relationship between Tarkin and Vader to this day

I believe at least in terms of rank, Tarkin outranks Vader. Before the Death Star was destroyed, Vader had no official position in the Empire and sometimes Palpatine would place Vader under the command of high ranking Imperials. In the current cannon, after the destruction of the Death Star, the Emperor is pissed at Vader and places him under the command of General Tagge (the one Imperial in ANH who warned Tarkin and Motti that the Rebels were a greater threat than they gave the credit for) for a time being. Eventually before the events of ESB, Vader is upgraded to supreme commander of the Imperial Military which is why in ESB you don't see any Commanders (except Admiral Ozzel) give Vader much additude.
Also Vader I believe had at least a little respect for Tarkin since they fought in the Clone Wars together a few times plus I believe Tarkin was one of the few who knew (or at least suspected) Vader was Anakin Skywalker.
IKR ..I'll stop
Meda Chlorian source of the Jedi ..nuff said
The OT really mastered the art of establishing scenarios and connections while leaving great mysteries to ponder, the full relationship between Tarkin and Vader being one of them. Once you start spelling everything out it rarely lives up to the imaginings caused by such gaps. As a result I actually had a big back and forth with WWEJedi prior to RO's release where I argued that it was stupid for Disney to try and tell the story of ANH's opening scroll. Good thing he's not around to throw that back in my face, lol.

Rogue One still ignited some new mysteries and didn't ruin much if anything from ANH, I'd argue the one main sticking point is the Leia/Vader conversation but that one is obviously subjective and for me seems somewhat minor all things considered. They did a good job of balancing the bureaucracy of the rebellion without it weighing down the film and just letting the movie move more through the characters.
Yep, RO did such a masterful job with that I'm almost worried that now Disney will get cocky and decide to make movies about the bounty hunter on Ord Mandell, Bothans finding out about the Emperor visiting the DSII, etc. Quit while you're ahead!
There's not a single character or situation in ANH that is lamer because of RO (except maybe Walrusman but who cares about him, lol) whereas literally everything the PT touched (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Palpatine, Yoda, Boba Fett, the Force, the Droids, Chewie, etc.) became worse on some level, sometimes shockingly worse (especially in the case of Anakin, Fett, and turning the Force into an STD.)
And despite RO I still hold to my opinion that telling a Young Han story with another actor is a stupid idea.
Would a CG Han, if done pretty well, be OK for you?And despite RO I still hold to my opinion that telling a Young Han story with another actor is a stupid idea.
Hope they cancel it!
Anyone other than Harrison Ford playing Han is just a guy cosplaying as him.
Yup TFA is a classic example why SW needs a Han Solo in the films despite what Harrison wanted back in ESB.
PT..needed a Han Solo
TLJ will seem a little empty
