How far away was Admiral Ozzel from Darth Vader?

As the title asks, how far away was Admiral Ozzel from Darth Vader during the Battle of Hoth in Empire Strikes Back? Was he on another Star Destroyer? Or was he on the Super Star Destroyer? If Vader and Ozzel are on the same ship, where were they in relation to each other? The SSD is incredibly large, being 19,000 meters (11+ Miles) long!

Basically, how far away did Vader force choke this guy to death.

Best Answer

Vader's hyperbaric meditation chamber is stated in various sources (for example, in Star Wars: Ultimate Blueprints, below) to be on the Executor. Given that Admiral Ozzel commands the Executor alongside his duties as Fleet Admiral, it stands to reason that they're both on the same ship.

As you've noted, this puts them no more than 11 miles apart but I'm unaware of any source that specifically states where the chamber is stored on board the Executor. I doubt it's very far from the Bridge if Vader has junior officers visiting him to pass on messages.

Why did Vader choke Ozzel?

The Empire then needed to attack the base via ground assault, giving the Rebels time to evacuate and attack. Enraged by Ozzel's blunder, Vader Force-choked him to death and promoted Firmus Piett to Admiral and commanding officer of the Executor.

How far away can Darth Vader Force Choke?

TLDR: Vader spares Piett not because of his value to the Empire, but because of his sorrow for losing his son, the first beacon of hope in his life since he first put on the suit.

Why did Vader not kill Piett?

Vader only kills two officers in the Galactic Empire, that we see \u2013 Admiral Ozzel and Captain Needa; for some reason it seems like more and maybe that was the point \u2013 but Vader didn't force-choke any member of his own military in the original Star Wars.
