* AerithAndBob: Unlike most 'Star Wars'' characters, his first name is a real (British) one, just missing one "L" at the end.

* UndignifiedDeath: Being Force-choked to death is bad enough but Vader ensures that he won't die until he hears Captain Piett's promotion to Admiral. Even more humiliating is that neither Vader nor Piett pay attention to his dying gasps after Vader gives his infamous YouHaveFailedMe line.

* DoNotTauntCthulhu: It's really not a good idea to act patronizing toward ''Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader''. But he does exactly that, and doesn't even try to hide it.



* KilledMidSentence: After the Rebels enact their shield (which proves crucial to them escaping Hoth) and Veers reports that to Vader (who then bad-mouths Ozzel to him before ordering him to set up the [=AT-ATs=] for a ground strike), Ozzel reports to Vader, and while speaking, he gets Force-choked by Vader.

* BenevolentBoss: When he realizes the ''Millennium Falcon'' has escaped, rather than try to shift onto blame someone else and escape punishment, he takes full responsibility and submits himself to Vader for punishment.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: One possible explanation for why he could be so blunt with Vader and get away with it is because at the time of the original film's release Vader's status as a man who'd [[BadBoss assaulting and killing subordinates]] for [[YouHaveFailedMe failing him]] had yet to be established (though considering he was this close to taking back the Death Star plans from the Rebels after Scarif, it's very likely he gave Jir a pass because of his advice of holding Leia hostage). Another explanation - discounting material from the ExpandedUniverse - is that Jir was doing exactly what any competent subordinate ''should'' be doing; bringing up reasonable concerns they might face in the future and never crossing the line into insubordination. Contrast this with Motti, who mouthed off at Vader and got [[PsychicStrangle choked]] for it.

* GeneralFailure: Darth Vader considers him to be "as clumsy as he is stupid", and for good reason: he dismisses [[HypercompetentSidekick Captain Piett]]'s ultimately correct lead on where the Rebels could be hiding, and botches an intended surprise bombardment on the Hoth base by mounting a more direct attack, giving the Rebels a chance to put up a defense and escape.

Unsurprisingly, that last mistake leads to his death, and Piett is promoted to Admiral in his place.
