Agreed - Tarkin is a leader of the Galactic Empire, an extremely fascist regime modeled off Nazi Germany that also practices xenophobia.
He is absolutely authoritarian right, not authoritarian left.
Not sure a good choice for authoritarian left? Maybe Natasi Daala in the EU when she rules the GFFA and decides enough of a weird religious order being above the law (the NJO, of course)?

Tough to argue the that the visuals aren't there in the uniforms or other aesthetics, but apparently George also had other empires in mind in the original series. Nothing that would put Tarkin in auth left though.
If ever they make A sequel trilogy they should make the empire split up Into many different factions and The Jedi and First Order remnants of the empire are just two factions in a GoT game vying for power.
Law and order is pretty much textbook authoritarian. No left/right bias in that. But he is very much not for redistrbution of wealth nor any empowerment of the workers.
Tarkin is auth-right. Almost textbook. Would move Vader to more center-right as he often ignores or works against (some) chain of command.

Do not put Tarkin on the left. The guy is definitely a “law and order” person.

Maybe Saw Gererra? Fight the power, the universe should be led by the people… but at any cost. Kill innocent people to achieve that Utopia.
Hmm, he's a bit of a violent anti-authoritarian revolutionary though, isn't he? Bit more anarcho-left?
Libleft can have a little Partisanship
as a treat
Maybe what’s his name in andor. The guy that recruited him.
Luthen? I don't think he is authoritarian
Count Dooku is a political idealist who turn to authorianism to maintain his rebellion against the centrist galactic republic.
iirc the cis became separatist ibecause they didn't want to pay taxes. which should be lib right
Saw Gurrera?

Now that might make StarWars good again

Neither is Sabine.
The only people on the entire series that even think about it are Vader and Solo.
may i remind you of L3-37, who literally staged a slave revolt.
Yeah, I forgot. Somebody also pointed Dooku in another thread, that depends on what lore you follow.
And yes, there are plenty between the separatists.
Don't worry, AUTHleft, so KGB style.
I feel like Dooku or Thrawn would be a better fit for Auth-Left
Dooku for sure. At least his public persona.
