I don’t know how much rain Darth Vader really has to worry about. He’s either on the Death Star, flying his TIE Fighter (TIE Advanced x1), or simply cruising around on a Super Star Destroyer.

“Don’t go walking alone in the dark, especially when it’s raining,” my mother always used to say. And really, she didn’t need to warn me.
