Empire Leadership

Author
Time

I'm sorry if there already exists a better thread for this, but I'm too lazy to try to find one right now. ^_^

Is there a comprehensive list of the leaders in the Empire for each of the films in the trilogy; e.g., Captain Needa and Admiral Piett?

I'm looking for something like:

Episode X:

1. Captain CockBlock is force-choked by Darth Vader and replaced by Admiral AssHat.

2. ...

My wife and I have watched the films several (thousand) times, but we can't seem to get good a understanding of who's who and it's driving us crazy.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Here's the ones I know:

ANH:

1. Governor Tarkin

2. Tagge ("until this battle station is fully operational,")

3. Motti ("you're sad devotion to that ancient religion"...)

4. Daine Jir ("She'll die before she'll tell you anything.")

5. Nahdonnis Praji ("There were no life-forms aboard.")

6. Hija ("There goes another one.")

7. Bolvan ("Hold your fire.")

ESB:

1. Admiral Ozzel (the officer whom Vader chokes when the Imperial Starfleet arrives at Hoth)

2. Admiral Piett (Vader's Admiral following the choking of Ozzel.)

3. Captain Needa (Vader "accepts" his apology.)

ROTJ:

1. Jerjerrod ("We shall double our efforts.")

2. Piett

3. Gherant ("We're not going to attack?")

 Huh? Not counting the DS briefing there is like three or four officers per film.

Not counting all the extras, that is.

Well that's what he tells his parents, anyway.

OT: LexX, is that what it looks like when Vader sneezes?

 Don't think so, but someone sneezed on Two-Face Ackbar I guess.

Also General Veers (Julian Glover) was the director of the Hoth ground assault in The Empire Strikes Back.

This thread title has me now picturing all the most promising members of the Empire being forced to endure a week-long "Empire Leadership Conference."

Poor dopes.

I was kind of wondering if at that conference, they all learned how to counter Vader's Force choke and were all taught to just play along when he tried to kill them, apply fake facial hair, and effect a diffuse transgalactic accent to avoid being recognized after resuming their posts.

I actually made an essay over 10 pages about leadership in Star Wars (one of the available assignments was leadership portrayed in a movie/book) for my one of the leadership courses I took at the university. It was pretty interesting to think about the movies from that angle and comparing it to different source materials about leadership. I also took everything what happened in the trilogy (not PT at all) like it was real and not making it easier by looking it as a mirror from the real world (Empire - Nazis etc.). Funnily enough, all sources came to the conclusion that the way Empire was lead was never going to last in the long run.

A little OT than the original question but still fitting to the title.
