Piett captain of the Executor is promoted straightly to Admiral in ESB (despite jumping a few ranks like the Vice Admiral rank). His rank insignia use to have 3 red bars on 3 blue bars, it now has 6 red bars on 6 blue bars. In ROTJ, when we briefly see him ordering his star destroyers to hold, he only has 3 red bars on 3 ble bars.
It is not said on any source that he has been demoted in ROTJ, but that he has kept his admiral rank. Whats is all this about?

Looking at a site for rank isignias, I saw that he was captain, then got promoted to Fleet Admiral (commander of death squadron fleet) and then demoted back to captain.

you pay attention to that?

Regardless of what his rank was, he was a pretty shitty admiral.

General Veer would be an excellent Admiral

Actually that is a blooper in all of ROTJ all of the imperial officers have the exact same insignia.

Also General Veer's wouldent make an excellent Admiral considering he was an Army officer trained and experienced in ground operations, with a small knowledge of what a starship could and couldent do most likely

Jerico took the words right out of my mouth.

While General Veers is the most competent non-force-using Imperial officer we meet in the movies, he is in charge of ground forces, which uses very different combat techniques. Plus, taking the Hoth base with half a dozen AT-AT's or so wasn't as much good tactics as it was overkill.

Piett was a great Admrial though i wish he didn't die at least he went down in a blaze of glory.(unlike a certin General who shall not be named*cough*Veers*cough*

Admiral piett was never demoted the medal mistake was made by the costume department by the time it was noticed there was no time to reshoot

Some of u people are nice others are not but still be happy the truth is was the best admiral the empire ever had. but people never mention Moff Jerajod (or somthing similar) he was the commander of the second deathstar famous for saying " the emperors coming here" he must have been a good admiral dont you think?

when i said the truth is i was refering to Piett in the prvious message

General Grievous would make a good Admiral, heh.

How did Veers die then??

Jerjerard was not a Moff.

Are you sure of that? I could swear I saw his name listed as that in the credits, I think I've heard him being refered to as Moff Jerihod in the EU... I must go check the credits...

Jerajad was a Moff read the cridits you lightweight starwars fan

Veers didn't die did he?

No he just didnt get back on the stardestroyer,you see him in line when vader boards the ship at the end ESB

he died in EU, i believe...however, considering that the authors said he lost his legs in the battle of hoth, and it's clear he didn't, that isn't official whatsoever...

Maybe it was a phrase they used when their AT-AT was brought down.

"He lost his legs.........then it blew up with a couple of shots from a piddling little snowspeeder, even though ten seconds earlier no laser could make a mark on it"

Something like that?

er...Veers's AT-AT isn't brought down the second he hits the generator, the Rebels withdraw

Oh, right, then, my bad.

So why do they say he lost his legs?

Was it like this:

Veers: "OK, shield down, you may start your landing"

ATAT Driver: "Mission complete sir, should I set a return cour>......."

*AT AT Driver turns around in his chair and sees Veers on the floor*

Veers: "My legs, I've lost my legs!"

ATAT Driver: "..............."

i honestly don't know

heheheh, obviously we should disregard the carazy authors of that book.

Just found this on Veers, don't know if it is correct:

To achieve a place at Darth Vader's side General Veers murdered many of his competitors. He was a ruthless and aggressive general who enjoyed weakening havoc with the destructive Imperial ground forces.
He personally supervised the invasion of the Alliance's Echo Base on the planet Hoth. With several AT-AT's and a few AT-ST's he passed the deflector shield and destroyed the Energy turbine of the Rebels leaving them vulnerable to planetary invasion. Soon after Veers met his fate when a young Rebel named Hobbie Klivian heroically piloted his burning snowspeeder into the cockpit of Veers' AT-AT. The collision destroyed the Imperial Walker, killed Hobbie and claimed the General's live as well.

i am the new Grand Moff u better do as i say

do u want to join the empire cause you can

GMG ??

what

This is from the offical Star Wars page

"Not much is known of Veers' activities after the fall of the Empire at Endor. He surfaced again during the resurrected Emperor's campaign as a ground officer at the Battle of Balmorra. "

So he definitly lived that story probably came from again from the SW page

"In the original script of The Empire Strikes Back, Veers perished when his walker was rammed by a snowspeeder. The scene never made it into the final film, and as such, Veers' life was spared. He appeared in early draft scripts of Return of the Jedi, though his character does not return in that film. "

Thanks Jerico, that's cleared that up nicely

GMG - Yes i do doubt you, to answer the PM you sent me.

I was about to say...Hobbie survived he shows up later, so that couldn't happen

thanks for the info, you and Jerico

if you do doubt me then i pitty u im really a nice person lol

His Name is Moff Jerjerrod

General Veers never dies in the movie, but in the original novelization, Hobbie does crash his speeder into the At-At, killing him.

Veers is never seen in ROTJ, hence he is never seen in the shot of Vader returning to his Star Destroyer in ESB...which was the scenen of Vader arriving on the Death Star in ROTJ, only from a differnet angle.

veers isnt that good anyway. Piett rules

Piett is Quality!!!he really does have a shit job!!the poor bastard has to work under Vader!! his "face acting" is brilliant u can really see the fear!!and that scene "BOUNTY HUNTERS?!?! WE DON'T NEED THAT SCUM!" Excellent!!

all true he is the best of the lot

From SW: Insider Issue #67:
'Under A DOZEN REASONS WHY RETURN OF THE JEDI DESERVES IT'S COOL-MOVIE CRED' - "#38: The Return of Piett-"Dead man walking" was the first thing that popped into viewers' heads when Admiral Piett failed to capture the Millenium Falcon at the end of The Empire Strikes Back. Yet he returns in Jedi, his competence as an officer underscored by his very presence and by his onscreen actions-for example, he's one of the few who isn't afraid to tell Vader the truth ("It's an older code sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them). Piett's death aboard the Executor's bridge is both spectacular and worthy."

piett is a great guy ive net him

all part of being in the IEAC

I think Pietts return was a very good idea it added to the realness of the film
