Why is Anakin named Vader

I just wondered where does the name Vader come from. I'm sure we'll figure it out in EPIII but for now what do you think besides that Sidious gave him this name.

dont we have a thread on this? but read the book or wait for the movie.

I dont remember the book saying why, I thought he just says Darth....waits....Vader.

Maybe I am wrong, I read the damn thing in a day.

what book?

bah..i wouldnt know, i havent read it....i just assumed sidious said why....and it would be in the book..

it would take less time to answer the guys question as opposed to publicly humiliating the guy

BUT HEY
maybe u don't really know the answer to his question, and u decided to respond with hostility.
Pathetic

We'll anyobdy want to make any research about it or is this too big of a question.

Well, I would Like to know ✅

me 2. Any suggestions. Like his named spelled backwards or is skywalker's opposite vader, the name of a car, anything so we could figure this out.

by the way off topic, whould a CGI vader or cartoon vader be cool

vader is swedish for father...

i think that just added to the confusion. dontknow

Well perhaps had you been following the Ep 3 section for a while now rather than being some friggin fair weathered friend who only shows up for playoffs rather than supporting the team thru the whole season you might realize that there have been probably half a dozen threads on this VERY topic. If the search function is not something you enjoy using, as I have heard it may not be as effective as we might like.. PM someone who has been here a while. We are more than happy to answer questions but get sick & tired of seeing threads on the same topics over & over...

i remember reading in some article somewhere that darth vader is supposed to sound like 'dark father' so you might be right

this has already been discussed and been confirmed darth vader is in fact swedish for dark father

When sidious is taking him as his apprentice he says something along the lines of "you shall be Darth...*and then he pauses or something like that and the force tells him something* Vader." Been a while since I finished the Ep. III book but I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.

Vader is some black dragon from the star wars universe that rose from the ashes...

Watch it Billy. Hostility doesn't combat hostility, just makes more.
