Vader agreed and accepted his apology.
Veers is my choice, too. Competent, no-nonsense, but not a mustache-twirler at all.
There’s some good fan-fiction about or involving Veers and Piett:

I like the “We ain’t found shit” guy.
Oh, wait…wrong movie.
This guy. Aside from being Peter Cushing, he’s the one who’ll blow up a planet just to set an example. And when he tells Vader to knock it off with the egregious, petty Force-choking, Vader does.
And as Rogue One later shows, he’s more than willing to blow up cities and Imperial facilities in the off-chance that he’ll take out rebels along the way.
Hmm, I’ve always sort of wondered about the stormtroopers who oversaw torturing Han Solo in Cloud City.
Is that their only job? Do they carry around the machine and set it up wherever needed?
Any background on them?
This was my vote too.
“You are in command *Admiral *Piet.”
His lips say “Thank you, Lord Vader,” but his eyes say, “Uhh, shit.”
There’s something about the Random Imperial Dude at 1:18 of the opening scene to Return of the Jedi. “Inform the Commander that Lord Vader’s shuttle has arrived.” He’s such a smug, arrogant, eminently punchable Imperial douchebag. He’s like the epitome of smug, arrogant, eminently punchable Imperial douchebags.
OK, so I think I’ve figured out something: the black uniforms seem to correspond to technical specialists, while the green uniforms are for officers. The black uniforms are “working” uniforms, the green are “dress” uniforms. I never thought much about this before but I think I’m onto something here.
Also, in this scene from A New Hope, there is one officer who is wearing a white uniform. I think this is the only time you see any Imperial guy wearing one. This officer appears older than the others, and is also the only one with any facial hair. Could it be that his uniform, and mustache, were “grandfathered” in or something?
Do you mean light grey? Krennik in Rogue One wore white.
They, somewhat unofficially, named him Endicott.
He gets a backstory too. That’s Wullf Yularen, and he’s not actual Imperial Navy. He’s a colonel in the Imperial Security Bureau, the Empire’s equivalent of the Gestapo/KGB, which is why he has the white uniform, and the ISB’s liaison to Naval Intelligence, which is why he’s in the officer meeting.
“It’s an older code, sir, but it checks out.” I love how calm and unperturbed he is during that exchange with Vader.
I always liked Tarkin, every since I saw the movie back in '77. I mean, yeah, he was horrible, but he had style.
Green? When in all of Star Wars has an Imperial worn a green uniform? Black, gray, the occasional white (like Grand Admiral Thrawn) but never green? Goes against the Empire’s entire clean, stark aesthetic.
Besides the screaming lack of surveillance cameras, this is one of the incredible holes in Imperial security. Happens over and over in both the movies and the two series (Clone Wars and Rebels).
If you’re holding rebel prisoners, or involved in a high security mission, why the fuck are you accepting unscheduled shuttles with older clearance codes? How bad is your training that it never occurs to anyone that there may be something up with that?
One of the worst is the episode ‘Relics of the Old Republic’ in Star Wars Rebels. The Star Destroyer jumps in with Agent Callas and Admiral Konstantine. The Ghost is floating right there in space, easily in visible range, shut down. They don’t scan it at all or do anything about it. Now, Hera had powered down, saying they can’t be scanned, but given past precedence, they could certainly detect her life signs on board if they did scan it.
If I was either of the Imperial leaders, I’d blow it up, just to be sure, but they ignore it.
Then upon sighting the crawler on the surface, Konstantine asks if they should commence ground bombardment. Callas insists on going down for a ground assault. :smack:
No man, just blow the fuck out of them from orbit, blow up the Ghost, scan for life signs and call it a day.
According to the Star Wars wiki, the uniforms I always perceived as gray, were actually olive green.
The black were what the stormtroopers wore when not in armor. The white tunics and black trousers were the intelligence agents. The olive were the regular army/navy.
