Battle 1: Adolf Hitler and Darth Vader rap it out over who has the better- and more fashionable- evil empire. Until Vader freezes Hitler in carbonite, that is.
Battle 2: Vader thaws Hitler out to battle him again, this time finishing by dropping Hitler into the rancor pit.
Battle 3: Having killed the rancor from the last battle and escaped being thrown into the Sarlacc pit, Hitler battles Vader one last time.
