Cast and characters
Ho-Ming Vader (Richard Lo/voiced by Alvin Ko) is the show's central character. He is the day shift manager of Empire Market. Sometimes using lines lifted from the Star Wars films (the main source of humor being Ho-Ming going about day-to-day life while retaining a behavior befitting of a Sith lord), Ho-Ming's main goal is to crush Empire Market's competition and help make the store dominate the food retailing industry. However, as Season 2 progresses along, Ho-Ming follows Randy's orders to "ditch" the Star Wars attitude and become more normal. The new leader announces that everyone has a chance to be General Manager. His main goal morphs into a great ambition to become General Manager (which he succeeds in doing the end of Season 3). While he has inappropriate and rocky relationships with most of his co-workers, he has better ones with others, such as Jeremy, whom he adopts as his apprentice. Ho-Ming implies in the second episode that he is Darth Vader's younger, less successful brother, and that Vader gave Ho-Ming a life support suit and helmet similar to his own after Ho-Ming accidentally rode his bicycle into a volcano.
