“Don’t try to frighten us with your sorcerer’s ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel’s hidden base…Ahhhhh.” Admiral Conan Antonio Motti

Yes, Admiral Motti was that Imperial officer whose courage…or lack of faith in the Force…caused him to confront a very disturbed Darth Vader. If it weren’t for Grand Moff Tarkin’s intervention, Motti might not have made it to the Death Star’s moment of triumph. Sigh. Well, maybe we ought to skip that part and try to look on the bright side. (Exploding Death Stars notwithstanding.) Without Admiral Motti, we would never have known about Lord Vader’s propensity to use that wickedly cool Force choke!

Admiral Motti at Answers.com
Answers.com claims Admiral Motti’s first name is Romodi. The Lucasfilm site is silent on the subject. If it’s not Romodi, then he needs an official first name. It’s so unfair! Even that Rebel terrorist/pilot Wedge Antilles was given a first name in Episode IV, A New Hope. Clearly Admiral Motti outranked Wedge and had way more dialog. Is this another sign of bias against our beloved Imperials? We should start a petition!

UPDATE: A letter, requesting that the good Admiral be given a proper first name was sent to the good people at Lucasfilm. Read our plea here. We await a reply with bated breath!

UPDATE:Admiral Motti has not only a new first, but also a new middle name of "Conan Antonio." Check out our What's New page for the details!

Here's a funny cartoon!
