"We'll let a little time pass, see, then he taps me to be on his personal detail. And then, G7: Coruscant. You on the droid racing circuit.

―TK-421, to MSE-6-G735Y[1]

Governor Wilhuff Tarkin owned a penthouse on[1] the Core Worlds planet[2] Coruscant. It had overhead lighting and a balcony that faced ruins of the Imperial Palace.[1] In 1 BBY,[3] Imperial stormtrooper TK-421 discussed the penthouse with the mouse droid MSE-6-G735Y.[1]

Behind the scenes
