Chapter 1-3 - Vader's Unexpected Visit - Shot 6



INT DEATH STAR - MAIN DOCKING BAY
1.IMPERIAL OFFICERS - Grey uniform,
2.IMPERIAL COMMANDERS - Black uniform,
3.STORMTROOPERS
4.Giant Mouse Droid – Black, w/red stripe, mid Right
5.MSE Droid – Black, small, Bottom Right
6.Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod – walking through shot


As Far as I'm concerned the MSE Droids don't need specific identification just like many of the Stormtroopers don't. Some stormtroopers may require identification but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. For this scene they are the faceless army that they are meant to portray.

Below is a closer image of the Imperial Commanders and officers. I have numbered the characters in a line to try and save confusion. This has mainly been done to help with the next few shots.
The line on the far side facing towards camera starts at the foot of the shuttles ramp at Number 1 and continues towards the back of the hanger, number 9.
The other line starts at the foot of the ramp at 10 and continues to number 21 before the line continues into Stormtroopers.
The uneven numbers in the lines is likely down to camera techniques and what "feels right for the audience"

Chapter 1-3 - Vader's Unexpected Visit - Shot 5



INT DEATH STAR - CONTROL ROOM
1.CONTROL OFFICER 2 – Bottom Left
2.Lieutenant Endicott – “Inform the commander that Lord Vader's...”

Just that Chap in the background.

Chapter 1-3 - Vader's Unexpected Visit - Shot 4



INT DEATH STAR - HANGER BAY GANTRY
1.OPERATOR 1 - Left side of the gantry.
2.OPERATOR 2 - Operating first control panel.
3.CONTROL OFFICER 1 - Moves about, among the control panels.
4.OPERATOR 3 - Operating second control panels.

Pretty much three backs of heads and not much view of the officer. Not expecting much from this one.

Chapter 1-3 - Vader's Unexpected Visit - Shot 3



INT DEATH STAR - CONTROL ROOM
1.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 1 – Low helmet
2.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 2 - middle
3.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 3 – “The security deflector shield will be...”
4.Lieutenant Endicott – walking behind opperators
5.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 4 – standing in circular operating desk top Right


A continuation of the previous shot, adding a Lieutenant and another shield opperator
(Shield opperators 1-3 were in the previous post)

Chapter 1-3 - Vader's Unexpected Visit - Shot 2



INT DEATH STAR - CONTROL ROOM
1.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 1 – Low helmet
2.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 2 - middle
3.DEATH STAR SHIELD OPPERATOR 3 – “The security deflector shield will be...”

Again a fairly straightforward shot. While I don't know any of these characters names wookieepedia has a basic entry for one of them but he is only listed as "Unidentified Death Star II shield operator". If you know the actor who played any of these characters please feel free to comment.

Chapter 1-3 - Vader's Unexpected Visit - Shot 1



INT IMPERIAL SHUTTLE - COCKPIT
1.Colonel Jendon - Older, bushy eyebrows.
2.Captain Yorr – “Command station, this is ST 321. “

A fairly straightforward shot. I don't know either of these characters names or who played them. I just know that the captain looks very British! Drop me a line in the comments if you are any wiser.

UPDATE! : A bit of research led me to finding Sompeetalays blogs over at StarWars.com. He has listed these two characters from Deciphers Customisable Card Game as Colonel Jendon and Captain Yorr.
