[edit] Story

The storyline centers around Chad Vader, the less-famous brother of Darth Vader, who works (at first) as a day-shift manager at a supermarket named Empire Market. The story presents Chad's clash with customers and other employees while incorporating dialogue and concepts from Star Wars. Chad shows his antipathy especially for Clint, the night-shift manager who fights for the day shift manager position. Not all of Chad's relationships are hateful, however. Chad's infatuation with Clarissa, one of the grocery store's cashiers, is a plot point as well.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Eventually, after upsetting his boss, Chad is removed from the Day Shift Manager position and is placed in the Night Shift Manager position. Disillusioned with the night shift, Chad demands to have his day shift position back. When his boss refuses to give Chad back the position in Episode IV, Chad quits. After leaving his job, Chad becomes drunk at a bar. Upon speaking with Clarissa, on a date with Clint at the same bar, Chad realizes that he is "lame" and goes to commit suicide by jumping off of a bridge. After several visions of people flash in front of him (including a parody of Obi-Wan Kenobi) who tells him not to jump (a parody of It's a Wonderful Life). Chad decides to get another job. He is seen at the end of the episode, with a combination of his armor and a business suit, holding a portfolio under his arm, going into a job interview. In Episode 6, he is seen trying out for many different jobs, but all of them are "not working out." He decides that his job at the grocery store is the job he was meant to have. Randy refuses to give Chad his job back, so Chad starts pretending to be Clint to get people to complain about him. Meanwhile Jeremy is trying to find the powerbox of the supermarket. Clint laters find Chad and decided to "end this".

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Future episodes

After release of episode 7, there will be one last episode to end the first season of the show, which is set to film the last weekend of March 2007. Another season of Chad Vader will be made and will consist of 8 episodes[citation needed].
