He'd been *Lord* Vader, once, feared by all who had even heard of him.  As
feared as that other lord, whose name started with V, but who was so feared that
people would even use his name when they talked about him.  He'd even played the
reformed villian, once, killing the evil emperor.  Heck, he'd even been the hero
a couple of times.  Had a franchise.

It'd all gone wrong since his lightsaber had run out of power, and the AAA
batteries on this backwater planet weren't Imperial standard.  And now he was
reduced to busking on the streets of Victoria, with a fiddle.
