Cornelius gazed up at the strange human in the cage.

The two apes left the room. Soon the laboratory was dark.

The human awoke. He was in a crude cage. The cage was surrounded by hairy, anthropoid shapes. Strangely, he could understand them. The place seemed familiar.

As Vader stood in the main control room of the Death Star, he stared out of the main viewport, towards the planet Wayland.
