THE QUOTABLE PIETT

Yes, it's true! Listed below is EVERY SINGLE LINE that Admiral Piett said during the course of the Star Wars Trilogy. Use it as your ultimate guide to the Empire's greatest officer - dazzle fellow Piett admirers, trump others in deep philosophical arguments, and impress the opposite sex at parties, all by simply memorising some of the lines below. But remember, though these words are truly powerful in themselves, mere words can never truly capture the elegance and wit of the Admiral's outstanding orations - which is why we have the Piett Gallery - Multimedia Edition!

From:

(Then Captain Piett)

• Admiral.
• I think we've got something, sir. The report is only a fragment from a probe droid in the Hoth system, but it's the best lead we've had.
• The visuals indicate life readings.
• But sir, the Hoth system is supposed to be devoid of human forms.
• Yes, my lord.
• Yes, my lord.

(Now Admiral Piett)

• Thank you, Lord Vader
• Our ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, Lord. But . . . it has entered an asteroid field and we cannot risk -
• Yes, Lord.
• Lord Vader.
• The Emperor commands you to make contact with him.
• Yes, my lord.
• Bounty hunters. We don't need that scum.
• Those Rebels won't escape us.
• Right.
• Lord Vader! My lord, we have them.
• Lord Vader, our ships have completed their scan of the area and found nothing. If the Millennium Falcon went into lightspeed, it'll be on the other side of the galaxy by now.
• Yes, my lord. We'll find them.
• Alert all commands. Deploy the fleet.
• They'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments, lord.
• Yes, my lord.
• Yes, my lord. Lieutenant.
• Alert all commands, ready for the tractor beam.

From:

• (into comlink) Shuttle Tydirium, what is your cargo and destination?
• It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them.
• Shall I hold them?
• As you wish, my lord. (to controller) Carry on.
• Hold here.
• I have my orders from the Emperor himself. He has something special planned for them. We only need to keep them from escaping.
• Intensify the forward batteries. I don't want anything to get through.
• Intensify forward firepower!
• AAAHHHHH!!!!
