This is weird; the guy who played Admiral Piett also played Jesus in Life of Brian (1979) and the guy who played Admiral Ozzel also played Hitler in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and Dirty Dozen II (1985)

Maybe thats why Piett was able to survive the wrath of Vader ...

Point?

Yes, I didn't convey my point clearly at all...

Ozzel actor had previously been cast as Hitler in Rogue Male (1976) and Tomorrow People (1973) and later in those two more famous movies I mentioned. Piett actor was previously cast as Jesus. I think it was more than coincidence that actors who had previously been cast in those respective roles because of the way they looked were chosen for the roles of Piett and Ozzel, respectively.

My reaction was that Lucas may have put more thought in who played those particular imps than we would give him credit.

I seriously doubt it.

I don't think any real direct correlation but certainly he picked many people for a certain look about them.

Though it's funny to see Ozzel in a nazi role given the comparisons many make about the Imps and the Third Riech.

Though all in all I still find it funny how many imp officers are brits.

And General Veers was the villain in Last Crusade too.

Piet got out alive in 'FireFox' as well.

But not even Major-General Veers could defeat 007 in For Your Eyes Only. Clearly, then, Echo Base has no hope of victory when faced with Roger Moore, let alone Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, or Sir Sean Connery.

PUBLIUS

stop thinking

i really think this has got othing to do with the choice. maybe hey just looked evil for the job

Humm, Sheard also dies an utterly pointless death by remote in Rememberance of the Daleks, (Dr Who) I think he may be typecast as Mr Fall Guy...
