A question about when a Sith Master gives his apprentice the name 'Darth'

Nah he was right, its Shadow Warrior. Dark Lord of the Sith is like another title associated with them. You wouldnt say Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, because you'd really be saying Dark Lord of the Sith Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. Thats stupid.

Dark Lord is from the days when they first invaded the Sith species. Darth is for Shadow Warrior, which was what the Dark Lords were supposed to be, waiting in the shadows to strike the Jedi. Darth is a reference to the old, true, Sith Lords.

It was in Darth Maul: Shadow Warrior or something if I remember, its been a long time since I read it.

Yup. But Maul means 'wicked.'

i personally think vader comes from trader, as does traya comes from betrayal.

Shut up with that shit.

Maul means more than one thing, goddamnit!

I think Maul means "Wicked-Awesome" or "Salad-Tosser" or whatevz.. 😖
I don't know the source anymore though..

I miss the pre-KoTOR days in which DArth stemmed from Bane.

😂 yeah i can just see him down the "Sith" market selling evil accessories

You know what's sad? That there are actually people naive enough to think Vader is taken from father.. Damn, I hear this BS all the time.

That and the fact that the name was originally going to be given to an Imperial Officer.

The title "Dark Lord of the Sith" was given to ALL Sith after, I believe, Darth Bane.

A petition ought to be signed demanding the canonity of "Darth."

Maul means maul, so shaddup.

You shaddup. Not that kind of Maul, this kind of Maul means wicked.

*breaks out the dictionary*

tr.v. maul

To injure by or as if by beating: The boxer mauled the other fighter. The critics mauled the novelist's first effort.

To handle roughly: The package was mauled by the careless messenger.

To split (wood) with a maul and wedge.

Do you see 'wicked' anywhere? Sorry to say, but there is no other meaning to maul, other than the maul and wedge part, which is a large hammer.

In any case, it's the first definition.

*closes dictionary*

It means Dutch for father, but since GL did not know Vader was Luke's father when he named him, it was obviously meant for something else.

Vader = Trader? A trader is a merchant. Did you mean Traitor? Because that still has nothing to do with Vader. If you look at all the other Darths, it simply doesn't fit.

Does Darth Vah-dur sound villainous to you, btw?

I only accept that Vader is a cool name without meaning. It has a mean sounding evil guy type of name.

Your arrogance and rudeness is beginning to anger me. I never said his name was english.
