Darth Sith

Ush, I'm not sure, there was a thread about this late last year or early this year, and a bunch of people pointed out that it means father in some language. I think that's a little too much of a coincidence...don't you? Maybe he wasn't Luke's dad when he came up with Vader because on the Bonus Disc he says originally Vader was to be the bad father and Obi-wan a good father, then he combinded the father idea to just being Vader. Lucas discusses this in the ANH commenary as well. So even at the time of ANH's final drafts and filming, Lucas knew Vader would be Luke's father, that's why Obi-wan looks uncomfortable when he tells Luke Anakin's story. Which ends up being B.S. from that whole certain point of view. Lucas also said he wrote a 200 page script which had the makings of ESB and ROTJ in them. He didn't have time to bring the whole Anakin is really Vader into it once he took the first act for the first movie out of the bigger script. Again, evidence he had it planned. So, maybe not when he "developed" Vader in the concept phase, but certainly when he finished the character and named him, since we apparently need to get so technical around here to be believed. 😄

In Dutch (the Netherlands) vader = father

Kaja Sinis was a Civian born on Coruscant 25,000 years before The Phantom Menace. He was the first Jedi and founder of the Order of Jedi Bendu Knights. The term Jedi meant “light bringer” in the Civian language. Sinis created the techniques allowing one to use the Force.
He discovered two sides of the Force, the good side (called “Ashla” in Civian) and the dark side (called “Bogan” in Civian).
In the early years, it was the duty of a Jedi to study both the Ashla and the Bogan, but serve the Ashla or good side.
Darth Seer established a formalized Code for the Sith Order, recruiting the next Sith, Darth Mongerer, who followed his code. One rule was of course, the Rule of Two.
Another was that a Sith apprentice needed to construct his own light saber and it had to be red-bladed. The secret to making a red-bladed Sith light saber was to be found in the Sith Holocron. The Sith Holocron was encrypted by a password code containing a long series of Sith words. Darth Seer further insisted the title “Darth” which merely meant “shadow warrior” be made equivalent with the title “Lord” in honor of Darth Bane. This was to remind all future Sith that being a Sith Lord meant always being a warrior.

thanks for bumping an ancient thread for some good ol' regurgitated EU

Vader is dutch for father

you answered precisely nothing

lol

I felt like it..

how did sidious get darth "vader"?

Darth means "Shadow Warrior"

Maul is German for Mouth, an animals mouth to be exact (human mouth is Mund)

After naming him, Sidious usually uses Lord Vader...in fact, didn't Tarkin and Leia use Lord Vader?

And the hits just keep on comin........ 😂
