Star Wars Trivia

They were playing a Star Wars trivia game on a radio show this week. The question was: "Name all the characters who appear in two or more films in the original non-special edition Star Wars films (aka. IV V and VI)."

So Luke, Han, Lei, Obi-wan, R2-D2 are all obvious answers. Jabba the Hutt is an incorrect answer because he was only in ROTJ (remember we're talking non-special edition).

Anyway, the last two answers were Dengar and either Admiral Piet or Admiral Veers, I don't remember which now. Can anyone explain these two?

And while we're at it lets name all the characters who fit the criteria.

I don't remember Dengar in anything but ESB. The admirals... Was one of them on the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer when the A-Wing crashed through it during RotJ? I know Vader killed an Admiral in ESB and immediately promoted another. I can't remember though.

Wedge Antilles is far and away my favorite OT character. Baddest-assed pilot in the Rebel Fleet.

EDIT: Starwars.com's Character Databank does show Dengar in Eps 5 & 6. Piett became Admiral at Admiral Ozzel's death in Ep 5 and did die in the above mentioned crash in Ep 6. GENERAL Veers, however, was not in Ep 6.

.
Dengar was in ROTJ when Jabba's entourage was looking down towards the Rancor's pit. You can see him standing with his back towards the camera.

Admiral Piet was the guy that asked Vader "Shall I hold?" when Han, Luke and Leia were trying to obtain clearance to land on Endor.

Other characters: (Obvious)Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca,C-3PO, R2-D2, Vader, Yoda, Lando, Palpatine, Obi-Wan, and Boba Fett.
(Not-so Obvious)Wedge, Piett, Dengar, and I think maybe Bossk was in Jabba's palace too(at least one of his species was). Does this poll exclude Jawas, and Rodians(Greedo)?

In the game (this was the Adam Carolla Show BTW) there was no mention of Jawas or Rodians. I see them as more of a species, with many identical characters rarely or never identified by name.

Don't forget about the unfortunate Death Star Commanders who are stuck shiedling themselves from the radiation blast of the Death Star mega-cannons, which is stock footage used in both Star Wars and Jedi.

Does that count?

Bossk was in Jedi too, there's a picture of him standing next to Fett in Jabba's Palace in the Star Wars visual dictionary and he's also on the sail barge, the picture is on his wikipedia article.
