Ultimate Star Wars visar att han helt enkelt inkompetent vid sitt jobb.
Admiral Kendal Ozzel commands Darth Vader's flagship, the Executor. Ozzel displays poor judgement; first doubting evidence of life on Hoth, and then failing in a bid to surprise the rebels there.
Denna påstående säkerhetskopieras av Officiellt Star Wars-handelskort för Ozzel som ger en extra backstory om sin tidigare militära karriär, som fortlöpande misslyckas uppåt på grund av hans rikedom och familjeanslutningar.
Born into a wealthy Caridan family, Kendal Ozzel graduates from Core World institutes as a Captain of the Line but is relegated to teaching positions because superiors doubt his ability to function as an effective field commander. Even so, he continues to serve the reorganized Galactic Empire, eventually assigned to Darth Vader's Star Destroyer, the Executor.
Kort sagt, det finns inget förslag alls som han var i liga med upproret.
