      also, in legands, ozzel was first brought to the attention of Darth Vader by mara jade in the book allegiance.
      i forget the exact wording but in short, she suggested to Vader that for the good of the empire ozzel was in need of special attention!

    I prefer that Piett has nothing to do with Ozzel's death. I always liked the thought about Piett that he just wanted to avoid Vader's wrath by being competent as possible in his position and by that he become more trustworthy induvidual to Vader's eyes. Also i like to think that when Ozzel finally died Piett was uncomfortable about his promotion but still saying "thank you my lord" yet he remained a competent admiral till the Return of the Jedi.

      Indeed. I have a set of Little Chronicle books for the first five Star Wars movies, with illustrations of many of the scenes, and for the illustration of Ozzel's execution in the "Empire Strikes Back" book, Piett clearly has an uncomfortable look in his eyes that borders on fear, as if he's thinking, "Oh, crud, am I next?"

  • @brianrunyon266

    Piette had to climb the Empire's military latter, in a manner of speaking, whereas Ozzel got positions handed to him due to family connections.

    I was pretty surprised back in the day when Piett showed up in Tarkin's entourage in Lost Stars, but I am glad they used the opportunity presented by FACPOV to tie that together with his rise through the ranks. And really, Ozzel hasn't shown anything so far that makes it look like it was undeserved. The Vader comic showed that he was nothing compared to Veers, and FACPOV supported that even further; Piett was always more competent as well

    From what I have been seeing & Hearing throughout My searches through the Star Wars Fiction it seems that no Matter what the change in Backstory Darth Vader will ALWAYS have the Loyalty & Support of Piett & Veers.
    Kinda Makes You wonder.....What Would Happen if Hidden Truths about Vader were brought to Light before them. Would There Loyalty hold Ferm or would it falter.

    Suggestion: Your narration's tone fluctuation is that of a constant question. Very similar to "burger king foot lettuce" voice. I would suggest finishing your sentences as if you are sure of the words as if they are facts, rather that each sentence trailing off as if it is a question.

      Well the Galactic Empire was part of the Sith order’s “Grand Plan”

      Defame , discredit and diminish the Jedi Order
      And transform the republic into a empire in their favor and conquer the galaxy once again
      So basically , there shady influence dug it’s way into the minds of their employees and personnel
      So the imperials are power hungry and backstabbing too now

    I never really considered Piett's ambition a secret, we got a hint of it in Empire, just after Vader overruled Ozzel and had them set course for Hoth. Ozzel glared at Piett, who only smirked as he stormed off. Piett did want Ozzel gone, but I think even he was a bit surprised by Vader simply strangling him to death.

    The (not so much now) New Guide to Characters claims that junior officers on the Executor regularly had secret betting pools on how long their C.O. would last before getting killed by Vader. Wonder who made made money when Ozzel keeled over, and/or if anybody had time to collect when Piett got kamikazed at Endor.

  • @ManiakGear
    @ManiakGear 3 года назад +9

    I can't remember how or why but for years I was under the impression that Ozzle was rebel spy or sympathizer. The way he tried to disregard Hoth and how he came out of light speed early which allowed several rebel fleet ships to escape.

    • @garyballard179
      @garyballard179 3 года назад +4

      Probably because you don't immediately consider the possibility that someone who attained his position could still be an idiot. You would generally assume that the Admiral of an Imperial fleet got there on merit, therefore any decisions that helped the enemy *must* be cunning insubordination on his part.
      It's not until you know that there's a culture of favoritism and backstabbing in Imperial ranks that you realize that all the 'help' he was giving to the rebels was simply him being a poor strategist, who shouldn't have been in command of a garbage scow, much less a Star Destroyer.
