His most prominent role was that of Admiral Motti, the arrogant, mocking Imperial officer who is choked by Darth Vader in Star Wars (1977), after Vader finds his "lack of faith disturbing".
Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing. Motti inadvertently talking his way into a Force Choking by Darth Vader - one of the most famous quotes in cinema history. Admiral Conan Antonio "Zi" Motti is a major antagonist in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Motti is the chief of the Imperial Navy.
In the year 3 ABY, he oversaw the initial attack on Hoth after the Empire discovered the location of the Rebel Alliance's secret base, but was summarily executed by way of the Force as a result of Vader's displeasure in the admiral's fundamentally incompetent tactics.
With Ozzel dead, the Emperor's right-hand man promoted Captain Piett to admiral at that moment. Piett's first action as an admiral of the Imperial Navy was to order the disposal of his predecessor's corpse.
He doesn't actively have to be directly next to someone to use the force on them. He didn't really choke Ozzel “through” the monitor. He doesn't really have to directly see the person he's choking. Vader was disappointed with Ozzel's actions and so he choked him.
Ozzel is quickly executed by Vader for his incompetence. Vader then promotes Piett to Admiral, giving him full command of the Destroyer. After the Battle of Hoth, Piett is tasked with the pursuit of the Millennium Falcon, which has escaped into a nearby asteroid field.
Darth Vader: You have failed me for the last time, Admiral! Ozzel's last moments before Vader kills him for incompetence. Ozzel came from a wealthy landowning family on Carida, and served as an instructor there before becoming captain of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Reprisal.
Fleet Admiral Firmus Piett is a recurring antagonist in the Star Wars franchise. He serves as a major antagonist in the original trilogy, appearing as a major antagonist in The Empire Strikes Back and a supporting antagonist in Return of the Jedi.
Tarkin and Vader would be effectively equals in their power, Grand Moff Tarkin was vested with full authority over the Imperial Military under Palpatine and Vader still held the rank of Supreme Commander.
Admiral Ozzel's legacy is that Darth Vader Force-choked him to death before the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.
It's implied that for the rest of his life, Lieutenant Crest never fails Vader again, so it really was "for the last time."
Admiral Ozzel commanded the Super Star Destroyer Executor, Darth Vader's mighty flagship and the linchpin of the squadron searching the galaxy for the Alliance's secret base.
The mighty flagship of Darth Vader, the Executor led Death Squadron during the Empire's assault on Hoth and pursued the Millennium Falcon to Bespin, where Luke Skywalker and his friends narrowly escaped her tractor beams.
Even after his brutal scorching in the fires of Mustafar, sand remained the only natural phenomenon that Vader feared. To him, sand was a reminder that he'd failed to save his mother or Padme from death.
Nope. The Hulk's muscles are simply too strong to suppress with the Force. Even if he could “choke” the Hulk, the Hulk can survive in a vaccum, so choking him is just going to make him more angry.
At the same time, the Chancellor revealed that he himself was a Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, and would train Anakin. Confused and conflicted, Anakin ultimately succumbed to Sidious' temptations. Rechristened as Darth Vader, he became an agent of evil.
While working in the Republic Navy, Tarkin had to fight alongside the Jedi, which he grew to dislike. He believed the Jedi to be weak, as they kept failing to keep the peace in the galaxy.
He was an intelligent and cruel man, who served for a long time in the Army: he knew how much Vader was dangerous, but he also knew that he was the Emperor's mastiff. Knowing this, he knew that as long as he made his work and the emperor was happy with his work, he didn't need to be afraid of Vader.
Vader and Tarkin were often at odds with each other and only worked together because it was in the interests of the Galactic Empire. However, Vader's animosity towards him caused Tarkin to later suspect that the Sith Lord and the Jedi Knight who once saved his life were one and the same.
Emperor Palpatine
As is made plain throughout the original and prequel trilogies, Palpatine is pretty close to the ultimate big bad. He's such a major force hanging over all of Star Wars, in fact, that he was ultimately brought back in Rise of Skywalker.
Master Yoda
Yoda was one of the oldest, wisest and most powerful characters in Star Wars. He was responsible for training Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Luke Skywalker and several other Jedi in the ways of the force. He played a vital role in unlocking the path to immortality.
before serving the Galactic Empire? will of Tarkin and Anakin met during the Clone Wars. captain Tarkin came to respect the Jedi Knight. as the 2 found common ground in their shared belief. that the Jedi Code was preventing the order's ability. to carry out its wartime duties.
The Ghost can be clearly seen multiple times in the film, and it survives the battle.
After meeting with Captain Rex and Commander Cody, 99 assisted the captain and commander in defending the city. 99 was shot and killed by a battle droid while attempting to retrieve explosives for use in combating the droids. He was fully aware that he was risking his life to do so, due to his limited mobility.
But the Dark Lord noted that the Empire had no use for the captain's ineptness; having finished berating Needa, Vader telekinetically throttled him to death as he had done to Kendal Ozzel earlier.
