Someone in Syria is going to kill themselves with several shots in the back of the head very soon.

Or get force-choked. With some lame "you've disappointed me for the last time, Admiral whatsisname" by some geeky fan boy who's memorized all the lines.

I was sure it was going to be Rick Astley.

Honestly, I was hoping they'd gone with something more like...

nyan-cat.com

Or, as droogmilk said, Rick Astley

Actually, Rick Astley would work for a dictator's propaganda. I believe the lines are "Never going to give you up, never going to let you down"

I hope George Lucas is dragged into the Syrian mess. Then he can change all the guns there to walkie-talkies.

You do not want to fark with the LucasFilm licensing machine. They're worse than the Mossad.

He didn't say his name, he just said "Admiral". His replacement was Admiral Piett.

Anyone know this?

Oh yea, and his name is mentioned.

"The Rebels are alerted to our presence. Admiral Ozzel came out of lightspeed too close to the system." - Vader
"He felt surprise was wiser..." - Piett
"He is as clumsy as he is stupid." - Vader
