PIETT'S THEME

For the Star Wars Trilogy, composer John Williams gave practically every character their own 'theme music' - Luke, Leia, Vader, even the Death Star and Boba Fett (though his is only two notes long), and it would seem that Admiral Piett is no exception. Though not specifically noted as his theme, this music has been adopted as Admiral Piett's theme, since a version of it plays pretty much anytime Piett is around. Most will recognise it as a slight variation of the Imperial March - the music actually comes from the track entitled 'Aboard The Executor' on disc one of the Empire Strikes Back Special Edition soundtrack. The piece was originally intended to be used when we first see the Admiral's ship, but in the final film, it was replaced with the standard Imperial March. It is presented here in in the MPEG-1, Layer 3 (mp3) format.

 

DIALOGUE

From: The Empire Strikes Back

(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: Return of the Jedi

(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!!!!
