[edit] Duplicate articles
What's up with having two articles for this man: Admiral Piett and Firmus Piett. They appear to be somewhat the same, but I can't tell how much the same. What shall we do? -- Aidje 23:47, 6 Apr 2005 (EDT)
[edit] Lightsaber combat?
"Though he wasn't Force-sensative, Piett was trained by Darth Vader in lightsaber combat." -- what? --SparqMan 21:13, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

- Well, that's an interesting take on it. --Fade 21:19, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- That was funky, but what's the source? Thefourdotelipsis 23:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revenge of the Sith
Some people think that Piett is one of the bridge officers on the Star Destroyer at the end of Episode Three. Should this be added to the article?
- Source for that? If no source confirms Piett on Episode Three, maybe it could be added under a title such as "Behind the Scenes", specifying that it is a popular opinion of fans. - Skippy Farlstendoiro 11:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Post-Bespin
According to the commentary by George Lucas on the Empire Strikes Back, the reason Piett was allowed to live and not be Force choked to death, as was the customary punishment for failure with Vader, was because Vader was too preoccupied with Luke and the revelation of his son to be worried about dealing with Piett's failure. Now AFTERWARD, the fact that it wasn't directly Pietts fault may be the reason he continued to serve Lord Vader but the main reason for Vader not killing him was preoccupation. I think this should be noted somewhere. Commander Black
- I agree some one should make a note of that in the profile, it is true. Grand Commander Nephlyte
- How does Vader know it wasn't Piett's fault? Thefourdotelipsis 23:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think it has more to do with embarassment. Vader's killed two people already for their failures, and yet at the very end when he's personally micromanaged things to the last detail, the Falcon just sorta magically zips away....and he knows that killing Piett would just make himself look all the more foolish ^^ - lalala_la
- Vader would not have cared about looking foolish, other than Palpatine he could have cared less what others thought. I agree with Black and Neph, that the only real true answer for Piett's survival would have to b what came directly from the mouth of the creator, George Lucas. TPrice180

[edit] Rank plaque position mix-up for Piett and a lietenant (or sub-lietenant, I don't remember)
I added the following to the article:Piett had his rank insignia at his left breast (as it should be), but during part of the scene near the end of The Empire Stikes Back, when the Executor prepares to intercept the Millenium Falcon, he and a lieutenant behind him incorrectly wear their rank plaques at the other side. The next moment, this is switched back correctly. : This is true, since I noticed for the first time. The only mix-up happens at the very end of the fifth movie in the bridge, when he briefly talks to Vader. The officer behind him has the incorrect position too.
