Darth Sith

this could be posted anywhere... so meh.

how come sith all have the word darth in their titles?

what's a darth?? anyone???

I believe 'Darth' means Dark.

Sith change their names on becoming Sith to honour Darth Bane. He created the 'always two there are' practise, which was the only way they could survive. Before that, when there were many Sith, they were not all called Darth something. One of them, for example, was Exar Kun (the first to ue a two-bladed lightsaber.)

DAR..k lords of the si..TH. DAR....TH

just wait till may and you'll probably find out. apparently the next movie will have a buttload of that kind of stuff since we are supposed to see at least some scenes of anakin training and learning about the sith knights.

Now if vader was called Darth Vader what would be the title of sidious if he was the master and obvious lord of the sith?

Em Darth Sidious....... lol

it is to honour darth bane!

were do they get the names after the darth? do they just make em up?

Their names usually follow a certain meaing, all I know is that the Master gives his apprentice the name...I believe.

as earlier mentioned, it's DARk lord of the siTH. Darth is a title, like Mister, but in this case it means they're a sith lord.

it just sounds cool. plus, it would be totally exhausting saying "dark lord of the sith maul" or "dark lord of the sith vader"...

I read a quote from GL somewhere, and I can't remember where (sorry)
that the meaning behind the name 'Vader' will be revealed in Ep3.

Vader = Rebirth perhaps ?

or Vader = Father ? finally Anakin has a father and its sidious ..............................oh whatever

or maybe vader = crazy ****ed up guy with robotic limbs.

he's said multiple times over the years that he chose the name because Vader meant father....i.e. Luke's father. But we will have to wait till ROTS to find out it's in-universe meaning.

Actually, Vader=Invader - In

Just as Sidious=Insidious - In

<---Just as Surgent=Insurgent - In

(It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me)

so like darth intyranous and drath inmaul??

No, they don't have to have the "-In" thing. It's just the origin of how those two names were determined. GL obviously came up with Maul and Tyranus to show that it's not a rule, but just a small stylistic pattern.

i was just bein facetious.
