2. Star Wars -- Games
   In the Star Wars Miniatures Game, Imperial Governor Tarkin is a commander's commander. Tarkin's commander effect grants a bonus not to followers, but to allied commanders. (The Alliance and Empire rules insert defines a commander this way: "A character with a printed commander effect is sometimes referred to as a commander. Commanders can ... include characters who gain commander effects from another source.") Compared to Grand Moff Tarkin from the Rebel Storm set, this version of Tarkin has twice the cost, 10 more hit points, the same defense, a slightly better attack score, equal damage, a new special ability, and the aforementioned commander effect.

He was best known for his work in horror films produced by Hammer Studios, as well as some other British B-movies.

5. Laurence Olivier -- Old Vic
   For almost a decade, Olivier was among the cinema's most sought-after leading men. A master craftsman, he gloried in disguising himself with accents, putty noses and wigs. But in the 1950s, the ground shifted under him. Marlon Brando's new, more natural style made Olivier and his "craft" seem old-fashioned. He'd been all but written off as a dinosaur when he answered his critics by playing a seedy, vaudeville has-been in The Entertainer—starting with a plummy accent, then letting it disappear as he virtually deconstructed his own art.
6. Christopher Lee -- Peter Cushing
   Even at age 86, standing in a London recording studio in a three-piece suit as he dictates lines into a microphone, Christopher Lee is an amazing presence. With a career spanning back to 19**, and a string of recent blockbusters that include Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and an important role in the Star Wars prequels, Lee may be one of the best-known actors still working today. Go ask your grandma about him and see how she swoons…

He has ... appeared as Francisco Scaramanga, the primary villain in the Roger Moore James Bond film, The Man With the Golden Gun. Despite a critically acclaimed career that spans 70 years, he has never been nominated for an Academy Award.
8. Star Wars -- George Lucas
   The 1977 release of Star Wars ... marked a paradigm shift in film sound effects. Lucas heralded this new era of sound effects in three main ways. Sound was no longer only loud or soft, it was a spatial element as important as any actor or visual effect. Ships passing by on the screen were heard passing by from speaker to speaker in the theater through the use of the new Dolby surround technology.
9. Empire -- Events
