When Anakin realizes Palpatine will never teach him how to save Padme, he secretly engineers a time machine into a speeder behind the Emperor's back — a project years in the making, hidden from the most powerful Sith Lord in the galaxy. The absurdity: a villain's secret lair isn't a weapon, it's a desperate rescue plan. Sometimes the most elaborate engineering is motivated not by conquest but by regret.
