Don't be utterly ridiculous dadude. It's immensely obvious you cocked up with the names, and you are in no position to get so awkward about it. Mockery is well warranted when you become that evasive, and focus' quote chain sums up the situation well. You directly said 'Vader promoted him to Admiral in ESB'. That's nothing to do with any EU character, nor does it refer to Ozzel, and the whole mis-understanding is entirely on you.

Okay. But by "him" I literally meant Piett, not Ozzel. This is why I said, "You knew what i meant" because it amounts to nothing more than petty squabbling just to say, "AHA! I got you on something!" which is what half of these points being discussed really are.
I apologize for the confusion.
But I did not know we could mock other posters. I thought you got onto me for talking down to other posters, before, and even said I would be banned if I continued to do it? Is that just a rule for me due to my past or does that apply to everyone?

That Admiral who gets choked out was Mr. Bronson in Grange Hill, I always love seeing him get choked out in ESB 'cos Mr. Bronson was a ****. He also played Hitler in Indy 3.

And Julian Glover (Veers/Pycelle) was the guy who hired Indy in Indy 3 too. Both he and Michael Sheard (Ozzel) are known for Doctor Who roles also. And Peter Cushing played Dr. Who in the 60s movies, and the guy who told Tarkin to abandon ship also played an evil Federation Officer in a very similar role in Blake's 7 about a year later.
You can go on forever with all this, basically. GL made common use of the British acting talent pool.

Not sure why Piett is thanking Vader after Vader says, "You are now in command, Admiral Piett" after he just called him "Captain Piett" a few seconds prior.
nobody has once argued that vader did not promote anyone.
again: "battlefield promotion"

To be fair, all that tells us is that Vader can (perhaps through the force) correctly address people by their rank. How they got the rank is not clear.
or simply that via linear deduction he knew that piette was the de facto admiral. another possibility. but we dont deal in possibilties here.

i believe its well implied that vader gave piette a battfield promotion. just pointing out the possibility that it was simply a de fact promotion since piette was presumably left as the most senior officer.
possibilities, ddm.
