#Piett is the best

And her Father stumbled. Lord Vader actually stumbled. Piett realized then that it was her power not his Sith commander's which was causing this.

Karking hells.

“Princess…” he said, managing to get to his feet. She may be royal and possessed with this strange power, but she was also a teenager who needed grounding. Comfort.

She blinked and the oppression in the room lightened.

“I’m apparently not a princess, Captain,” she said, icy calm in her wrath now. “I am the bastard child of this….”

“You are NOT!” Lord Vader’s voice rumbled behind her, and the room trembled again. Piett hoped that the Lady’s structural integrity could handle the conflict between father and daughter.

“Your mother and I married in secret,” he continued. "You are our daughter. And I did not abandon you. I thought you dead until a year ago. Then I hunted you as discreetly as possible. The Captain has helped to find you.”

Piett watched her take this in, her shoulders heaving with her deep breaths as though she had been sprinting.

Because my new f/os made me wonder about this ...

If you have an f/o who's not usually referred to by their first name, but instead their last name, a nickname, or something like a title or honorific, how to you refer to them? This can apply both to how they are addressed in-universe in their source material and/or how they are commonly referred to in the fandom.

Darth Vader #33

I am really enjoying Sabé and Vader relationship in this series, this issue Vader lost control of his powers because of a force wave so he gets out of the executor to stop himself from destroying it with everybody aboard. Sabé goes for him and leaves him on an unhabitated planet so he can wait this out.

Sabé has been staying with Vader as Padmé handmaiden, like she used to do when Padmé was alive, she´s trying to bring Vader back to the light side because she believed Padmé words before she died but what makes this more personal is that she´s also doing this for Anakin himself, which makes sense because she meet him when he was a child and it pains her to see him so lost.

Now, just like Padmé, she´s tematically opposing the corrupting force in Vader´s life, the Emperor, who wishes his apprentice just enyojed the power high this force wave is giving him without worrying with what happens to the people around him, once again, the Emperor is showing himself as mainly a force of chaos while Vader sees himself as a force of order, even if they are both Sith, this has been a theme in the comics.

For Anakin this leads to the question, ¿Power or Suffering? ¿Dark or Light?

Oh how I love this movie. Thank you friend! @winterinhimring

Well, she may wander into my dreams. Wouldn’t it be nice, if I could call her by name and pretend we’ve met before? I’ve waited a long time for such a lady.

Lieutenant Commander Matthew Scraps [Empire Reimagined @musewrangler - Star Wars OC]

One person uses Matt’s full name and that privilege goes to Admiral Piett. Matt has also been referred to frequently as ‘dear boy’ and ‘the Admiral’s boy’ But the latter title is not usually used in Matt’s hearing. He began as a Rebel pilot, but when Death Squadron merged with the Alliance after Endor, he asked to serve on the Lady. Eventually, he worked his way up to the security lead for Piett’s detail where he discovered that he cared deeply for his charge. The feeling was mutual as Piett never had children of his own and Matt’s family disowned him for joining the Rebellion. His parents were killed in a speeder crash before any amends could be made. Piett and Matt grew gradually, not only into a good working relationship, but also into that of father and son. It is the great unspoken sentiment that everyone on the Executor knows about.

Loch [Loch, Stock, and Gun Barrels @larissa-the-scribe]

The smallest little (autistic-coded) guy, despite being a centuries-old scottish water fae with a dragon friend (named Friend). Accidentally ended up in America, and is doing his best to learn about this new place by reading the New Testament and the Constitution--which might have been useful, if he hadn't ended up in the Wild West. He is now following around an outlaw and getting vocally bewildered by all the laws this guy is breaking.

Guess who just watched Empire Strikes Back on the big screen for the first time ever! 😊😊😊😊😊🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

My poor exhausted Admiral was so very done 😉

[lieutenantselnia]

The voices of my f/os are often quite important for me and I feel with Firmus it's no different ... First of all, I genuinely adore how softspoken he talks. Even though he rises to a righ rank, he's not boasting about like some other officers have the tendency to do, but is speaking rather calm and measured, almost quiet sometimes (I literally have to turn the volume up and down all the time in some of his scenes, because I want to hear him properly but the other characters seem too loud in comparison then). He's still able to raise his voice when needed, and will do so if he has to give an urgent order that must be followed immediately, but I think it's just not in his nature to do it without reason. As someone rather quiet myself, I really love that about him.

Another thing, of course, is the accent. As a non-native speaker I'm not proficient enough to determine what specific accent he has, but I love how that rolled R slips through occasionally. Not nearly as strong or frequently as for example Grand Moff Tarkin uses it*, it's more like a pleasant surprise that pops up every now and then. I believe it's called received pronunciation (any British people here who can help me out?), and I personally just find it wonderful to listen to.

*Say what you will about the character but his accent absolutely slaps, I'd totally listen to an audiobook read by him. Generally so many of the Imperial officers have such nice voices to listen to, because they casted mostly British actors for them and due to Star Wars being already an older movie, many of them were using that kind of accent that was more common at the time than it is today. In my humble opinion they should bring that back especially for villains >:)

@kyuoki I don't know how familiar exactly you are with these guys (aside from me constantly throwing posts about them onto your timeline lately haha), but I know you're into horror movies so it still made me think of you😂

----

Krennic: I wanted to apologize.

Tarkin: Good.

Krennic: Let me finish. I said I wanted to. And then I realized that I'm not sorry.

----

Motti: Veers gave me a ‘get better soon’ card.

Needa: That’s…nice. I think.

Motti: I’m not sick. He just thinks I could do better.

----

Needa: You're smiling. What happened?

Piett: What? Can't I smile just because I feel like it?

Veers: Venka tripped and fell down the stairs today.

----

Lastok: I trust Venka.

Heert: You think he knows what he's doing?

Lastok: I wouldn't go that far.

----

Piett: Why do you act like you're always right? It's annoying.

Krennic: Unfortunately I'm always right. Everything I say, it's a fact not an opinion.

----

Motti: As an empath my heart really aches when you guys are losers.

----

Needa: That's a great shirt, Max. 

Veers: Thanks Lorth. 

Needa: It'd look even better on Firmus' floor. 

Piett: .....Are you hitting on Max for me??

----

Heert: My social battery has exploded, killing several innocent bystanders.

----

Covell: Would you stab your best friend in the leg for 10 million gold?

Venka, to Lastok: You stab me, and then when my leg gets better, we buy a big-ass house.

Lastok: You can stab me too, then we'll have 20 million.

Venka: Good thinking.

----

Motti: Save a horse, ride the aristocrat.

Jerjerrod: *looks at Piett* What does he mean? 

Piett: …I’m staying out of this.

Imperial Chibis: Happy Birthday Max!

It is Veers' birthday, as rebel vessels would be very difficult to explode in chibi form (and there are very few of them in the house in the first place...), Piett and Needa made him a chocolate cake, he also got a small AT-AT, but they left it in the bedroom with the shark.

I really love Vader´s short scenes with Daine Jir, General Veers and Admiral Piett, they were bassically his right hands there, he listens to them even when it´s advice he doesn´t agree to and they are in fact working together as group. As long as they were competent and did their job Vader worked with them and listened to their advice.

I like the prequels but in a way I believe some creators post PT have forgotten this about Vader, especially in the comics, they are trying to write Vader as a kind of extension of Anakin circa 23 years in the middle of his breakdown in ROTS instead of writing him as the 40 year old man Darth Vader is, the guy who wanted to bring order to the galaxy, who actually believed the Empire was the best way to achieve that, who believed the Senate still had a part to play in this whole thing and who believed the Death Star was a tecnological terror, who actually had forgotten about Obi-Wan and Yoda and whose only disloyalty towards the Empire and the Emperor was over Palpatine´s intention of killing Luke.

As Lucas said Vader at 40 is a man with a job with a twisted perception of reality and deep in the darkside but whose main motivation, peace in the galaxy, was something that still appealed to him. He didn´t go on a killing spree every tuesday for shit and giggles.

This also can be seen in his interactions with Lando and Boba Fett.

I personally love the part from ROTJ novelization in which Vader thinks to himself why is Luke saying he has to let go of his hate if he doesn´t hate anyone(except for himself, deep denial there but this is Vader´s honest pov)

I love them your honor

Back in my day, you had to sift through thousands of probe droid reports with the best hope being that you'd find a lead to the location of the Rebel Base. And yet, we still found the Rebel Base.

Nowadays, no one can find anything without an ancient map of some sorts directly leading to a specific individual and various supernatural nonsense. Worse still, the new generation has no idea whatsoever how to handle incomplete maps. They fall to pieces if they can't find the last piece.

Do you know how many pieces of a map to Luke Skywalker Captain Needa and I received during my career? Absolutely 0. You worked with what you had, and if that went awry, you were Force choked.

Do you know how many special Force sensitive tricks I had access to in the event that I could not locate Grand Admiral Thrawn? Absolutely 0. If I needed to contact him urgently, I called the Chimaera and was transferred 15 times with a total hold time of 6 hours before finally reaching his voice mail.

And so, next time I hear another living soul complaining about missing map pieces, I am going to throw my caf at them.

“All right then,” Sola said and held her hand out to the Captain who took it in his. “Best of luck. We’re in this together. Don’t forget that.”

Hazel eyes met hers.

“I won’t, Your Highness.”

-- The Missing Queen, by @musewrangler , chapter six

This is part one of a project I've alluded to that will be relevant to like two whole people

Anyways, this is a scene from the aforementioned fic where Sola and Piett have started their scheme! I REALLY liked drawing her outfit, I was aiming for some low key Attolia vibes
