“WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY CASTLE,” a strangely mechanical voice boomed from the darkness beside Hux. Hux startled but quickly covered for the movement, turning toward the source of the noise.

“You have my father held prisoner,” Hux said, tipping his chin up insolently to hide his fear.

A towering humanoid figure lurched forward. Its footsteps were heavy and almost clumsy; its thick, tattered robes swayed with the motion of its body. It wore a dull black mask with silver detail around the eyes and a broad vocabulator over the nose and mouth, the whole mess barely visible beneath a hood that cast it into deep shadow.

“This pathetic creature is your father,” the mechanical voice seemed to state rather than ask. Hux supposed inflection didn’t go over so well through the type of modulator the mask included, or perhaps whatever species this creature was didn’t understand tone. “And you’re here to bargain for his release.”

“Not at all,” Hux said. “I’m here to make sure he’s dead.”

It’s a Beauty and the Beast AU, of sorts.
