Darth Vader and Boba Fett are at Cloud City, waiting for the Millennium Falcon to arrive. After it does so and C-3PO becomes separated from the others, he's blasted into pieces and brought before Darth Vader. While holding C-3PO's head, Vader flashes back to his childhood when he and Kitster find a non-functioning protocol droid and he decides to rebuild it. Vader sends the parts to be melted down, where Chewbacca finds them. Thinking there might be something more to the parts than the obvious, Imperial officers again bring them back to Vader. He has another flashback and then decides to give the parts back to Chewie to keep him occupied.
