This might seem stupid but...

I dont think GL had any thoughts about the name Vader besides the fact that it is just a name that sounded cool

Vader probably means something or nothing at all, it's all in the head of George Lucas. GL was probably planning nine episodes, but alot can change in 30 years.

He never confirmed nor denied those speculations. I doubt there is something deep behind it.

To confirm or deny would undo some of the mystery of Star Wars, which could diminesh fan interest a little because there'd be no more "speculation".

GL keeps his mouth shut so that all us lot keep ours going! 😎

hmm dont need any help to keep my mouth going😄

Where would forums like this one be without it?

What, Finti's mouth?

Much much quieter. 😄

and dull
