Why GL named Dooku Darth Tyrannus...

Its interesting really. Tyrannus is not just some name GL made up because it sounded ferocious, intended to remind us of the famed dinosaur.

TYRANNUS is actually a greek name, meaning "absolute ruler" or "soverign." Tyrannus is a name mentioned in the Bible, connected with a renounded greek school.

Anyway, I find the fact that the name means "absolute ruler" very intersting in light of Dookus possible motives and HIS plans for the galaxy. I have my own theory, but I would like to see some of you guys' speculation first.

Oh, it;s hardly a major spoiler...


Tyrannus is actually Latin.

latin is a language. greek is a language, but also a culture. considering GL has taken alot of Star wars from Greek mythology, its not surprising, if he chose the name of an ancient greek scholar, whose name when translated to latin, means absolute ruler....
so why would GL give Dooku a name that means absolute ruler...

im not sure what vader means. but maul is just a generic ferocious name. in the grand scheme of things, maul is an entirely unimportant character, so he gets a generic name.

Maul has to do with Darth Maul's lightsaber. Double-edged. Duh!

I think Vader means Father. I don't know...

Tyrannus makes sense. Dooku is leading the group against the Galactic Republic. Gosh, read some spoilers.

REX, already said that!

You don't know the meanings, before this thread, I don't think many people knew that EVERY name has a meaning

Errr... I don't think you are looking hard enough if you can't find a name that doesn't really mean anything, yerss.

Really, they are just cool, intimidating sounding names.
