Apparently the person who wrote that Tweet didn't actually look at the picture, because they're actually sitting on the speeder, not standing in front of it.
Do we know that his mother was hispanic?

Yeah, they announced that back when they first revealed it, I think it's 5 years later.
I've always been very, very disappointed we didn't get any real screen time with him as Tarkin beyond the blink and you miss it cameo in Revenge of the Sith. He was phenomenal as Scorpius and I would love to see what his take on Tarkin is like.
Fun fact: Any Scaper worth their salt already knows that.
Only yesterday, I was thinking of Tarkin's hair that stands out.
Always thought they should have brought him back for Rogue One instead of going with the deep fake, if only to give Pygram a chance to actually play the character in a meaningful role.
I think the fact that he didn't look like Tarkin so much as someone that murdered Tarkin, fashioned a face mask from his skin and glued it to his face thinking nobody would notice may have been a factor in them not going in that direction.
Say what you will about the head replacement effect (it honestly never bothered me overmuch), Guy Henry's vocal and physical performance was flawless.
Not that I'd want them to do it again in the future; it was fine as a one-time thing because the events tie so directly into ANH, but any more than that would be a bit much.

Referencing Tarkin and the Emperor without ever seeing either helped make Andor work so well. No visible Peter Cushing. No Sith Lord in sight. Just the terror imposed by a galactic tyranny.
Krennic was bad enough.
Which works great for 'Andor' since it's by design a ground level view of revolution. 'Rogue One' dealt a little more with the infighting of the upper/mid-level functionaries. The Emperor could still remain as little more than an abstract presence, as he did in ANH, but they needed Tarkin as a foil for Krennic.

Yeah, that would have been nice, but I was actually pretty impressed with the CGI face replacement they did in Rogue One.
But if Tarkin were to come back in another live action show or movie I would love to see Pygram play him again.
Tony Gilroy in a recent interview said that had they done the full series, they more than likely would of shown the Emperor at some point.
