Like every other good cyborg (sic), Darth Vader undergoes maintenance from time to time. This isn’t really shown clearly in the movies, but here’s a scene taken from a new comic book series titled Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command. Set between Episodes III and IV, it depicts everyone’s favourite deep breathing, force wielding cyborg as he goes on a search and rescue mission of sorts with the 501st Legion, but not before getting a rather painful/embarrassing looking maintenance process.

Kinda reminds me of the chopped up RoboCop (another beloved cyborg, a robot cop haunted by his past memories of being a human being) from RoboCop 2, don’t you think? As for the comic book, I can say that the Force is strong in this one.
