Darth Vader needs a serviette, not soft (6)
I believe the answer is:
anakin
'darth vader' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'a serviette not soft' is the wordplay.
'serviette' becomes 'napkin' (synonyms).
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'napkin' with 'p' taken out is 'nakin'.
'a'+'nakin'='ANAKIN'
'needs' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sun.
