"Are you sure about him?" The helmet concealed the face, but there was no mistaking the doubt in the voice as it's owner stared at the scowling young man in chains the squad had just brought in.

The Lieutenant sighed. "He's the only one we could find who fit the description. Cyber-maintenance skills, high-level butling skills, courage, discretion, proven ability to handle a high-stress work environment, astronomically high loyalty levels -- if he isn't good enough I don't know where else we'll find Lord Vader a new valet."

...a *new* valet?

There's a high turnover when the Sith Lord feels tetchy. Why do you think they're having to look so far afield in the first place.

I had the impression that Vader's actual identity was a state secret, & any personal servants would be droids...but if he prefers the human touch, it does stand to reason that there'd be a high turnover. Not that there'd be a lot of applicants for that position anyway.

You don't have to know his identity to know that he's a cyborg.
