This may be one of my favorite entries on Wookieepedia:
An ambitious officer, Firmus Piett was known for his quick thinking in his ability to shift blame for his blunders. After the Executor was lost at Endor under Piett's captaincy, some members of the Imperial Navy, such as Admiral Garrick Versio, judged him foolish.
Also- the name Firmus is one of the coolest names I have ever heard. He was played onscreen by Kenneth Colley and appeared in both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Even more interesting: Piett is the only Imperial Officer to make it into more than one film and be portrayed by the same actor! He is a superstar! Colley also has one of the best IMDB profile pictures of all-time. I am so happy he is getting a Black Series figure. And this is what exclusives should be- one-of characters that are niche and cool additions to out collections.
The figure is available to preorder right now here.
