You are in command now, Admiral Piett

Admiral Ozzel starts to report that the fleet has moved out of lightspeed, but he can’t finish his sentence. The admiral gasps for breath.

“You have failed me for the last time, Admiral. Captain Piett!”

Captain Piett nervously watches out of the corner of his eyes how Admiral Ozzel chokes next to him while he listens to Darth Vader’s orders. The Dark Lord of the Sith orders him to prepare to land troops for the ground attack, and to deploy the ships in the Hoth system so nobody can escape.

“You are in command now, Admiral Piett.”
Piett is pleased by his sudden promotion, but he is also clearly quite afraid of Darth Vader after the presentation of his powers.

This stupid old man is taken care of. I hope Admiral Piett will be more useful to the Empire.
The demonstration of the Force choke surely motivates Piett and the rest of the crew.
