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)
Lightsaber combat?

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)
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

- 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

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.
I think the frame was flipped.--Darth Formidable 17:35, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
Calling all Wookieepedians
I am requesting help from anyone who plays Star Wars Galaxies. I do not own the game and supposedly, Piett appears in Update 14. Anyone who has anything that can help me with this small predicament, please do so. Thank you.--RC 1138

- I've been able to get a bit of the Galaxies information, which has been added to the article. I'll be adding the relevant Scoundrel's Luck information in the next couple of days, and then scouring the TCG for mentions, and then hopefully putting him back on the FAN page. Not to worry.

- For future reference, you can't simply place an inuse tag on a FA. It is the nominator's job to handle any updates. -- 1358 (Talk) 16:54, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
- That is a false claim. Anyone is free to edit anything, all the time. --Imperialles 17:01, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, but placing an inuse tag when the article is up for removal is usually not a good thing. If this is a free wiki, then anyone should be allowed improve the article. What if someone slaps the inuse tag and only does a few edits without improving the article to the required standard? The nominator will not have a chance to improve it, because of the inuse. -- 1358 (Talk) 17:03, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
- One of many reasons why I want to impose restrictions on that particular template's usage. --Imperialles 17:04, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
- It's also a former FA, so RC was perfectly within the realms of common decency. Added to the fact that I, the original nominator of the article, have been gone for quite a while. It's just that I do indeed intend to fix the article in the next couple of days. ;) Thefourdotelipsis 00:31, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

- I think the quote should be changed, it really doesn't tell anything about the character. There probably has to be a better quote somewhere.EVANTHETOON 02:32, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
Force Unleashed
I was just reading in the bonus content and there is a posting on Piett in the databank section. In it it says that Piett has recently been transferred to Vader's fleet and has been promoted to Lieutenant. Since this takes place during the year prior to A New Hope and the Battle of Yavin, wouldn't this contradict established canon for the character? - Nx1701g 02:55, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
Date of Birth
The article states that Piett became Lieutenant at the age of 26. In the Force Unleashed II, which is said to take place around 1 BBY, Darth Vader's Databank profile states that Piett (according to his own personal log entries) had just been promoted to Lieutenant. So if he was 26 in 1 BBY, would it be alright to list his date of birth as 27 BBY (or c. 27 BBY)? JRT2010 03:46, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
Rank Insignia Mix - Up
In ESB, Admiral Piett is clearly promoted to Admiral (you know, when Vader says "You are in command now, Admiral Piett"). And yet, I just noted that, in ROTJ, he is not wearing the rank insignia plaque of an Admiral (six blue and six red squares), but rather that of a Captain (3 blue and 3 red) on the bridge of the Executor during the battle of Endor. Should I note in the article that, sometime between 3 and 4 ABY he was demoted back to captain, or simply write something in the "Behind the Scenes" section? Thanks, all.--Master Tej 19:20, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
Did he die
Did Piett Die? I was reading a page online not on a Wiki but online and the creator of the page seemed to think no. He said that Piett excaped the Executor before it hit the Death Star. Fans really lied Piett and he was saved by that and what adds to this is the Piett action figure which has no info on his death. I'll leave it upto other but Me I think he lived, no Admiral would ie like that. --IG SeriesIG Series (talk) 01:40, December 7, 2013 (UTC)
