Vader is a technical genius, it is a well-known fact. So, following his defeat at the hands of his old Master on Mustafar and the rise of the Empire, Vader executes his greatest act of genius to prove his dominance: he creates an artificial intelligence modeled after Obi-Wan Kenobi.
After the rise of the Empire, nothing remains of Commander Cody except for CC-2224, just another rank-and-file stormtrooper among many. He goes where he is told to go, shoots where he is told to shoot, and doesn't question it because good soldiers follow orders.
A droid told to be human meets a human told to be a droid. They meet somewhere in the middle.
The functional one flickers blue, stuttering, until a holoimage appears, covering its blank metal body. Overlaid on reality is the face of a man: auburn-haired, blue-eyed, bearded. It – the image – wears simple tan robes in a particular sort of way. Though it still holds the defunct droid, it bows to him.
That is – wrong. CC-2224 is a stormtrooper. A rank and file agent of the Empire. A clone. Expendable.
Nobody is supposed to bow to him.
“Hello there,” the droid says, the holoimage’s mouth moving, as if there is really a tongue and a throat and lungs producing the sound. “I am Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I was a member of the Jedi High Council and the High General of the Third Systems Army.” It straightens from the bow. “How may I assist you, Commander?”
