The thing that gets me about Darth Vader’s volcano castle is, like, when did he have the time to set all that up? Given the established timeline of events involving Darth Vader between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, we basically know that he’s never had more than a few weeks of downtime at a stretch – certainly not the months or years of inactivity that would be required to establish and manage a permanent household of that scale. Is the castle his vacation home? Is a volcano castle the galactic despot equivalent of a cabin with a nice beachfront view? Does Darth Vader get paid vacations?
And, like, if it is a vacation home, can you imagine being the guy whose job it is to live there when Darth Vader is out oppressing the galaxy and look after the place? Just being a volcano castle off-season caretaker? How would you even apply for that job? What are its qualifications?
