Guest Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hello all,I thought this might be a fun game. I'm sure we've all noticed that the names of the Darths in the Star Wars series all follow a pattern; take a word that begins with the letters "IN", chop those two off, and put "Darth" in front of it. For example:"Insidious" becomes Darth Sidious"Invader" becomes Darth VaderSo with that in mind, I thought for fun we could all come up with names for past/future Darths that might be involved in the stories. Don't look in the dictionary or your brain won't get any excercise.Here's a few to get us all started:Darth CredibleDarth SightDarth TerloperDarth VeigleDarth FamousDarth CapacitatedDarth ComingDarth Terior and Darth Ferior (I picture these as bumbling twins, in the spirit of Thomson and Thompson from Herge's "Tintin" series)Darth EvitableDarth CorporatedDarth CompetentDarth Travenous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Figo, I knew I could count on you on this one. At the risk of killing this thread before it has a chance to get off the ground, I believe Darth Coming and Darth Tercourse are closely interconnected. Which brings to mind:Darth Sert (or Darth Sertion, take your pick)Darth Jectionp.s.

Darth Pernicious 0 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I'm new here, but I just thought you would like to know how Lucas actually came up with the darth names.Actually the darth names have nothing to do with 'in' (Except for Sidious). Originally, the first Darth ever named was Darth Vader - supposedly the two words were derived from the words "Dark Father".However, when naming the prequel Darths, Lucas follows the rule that you pick a verb that means "to cause injury and harm" and fit it into the name.So Darth Sidious comes from the word Insidious, whichs "to stealthly plan to cause harm to someone".Darth Maul comes froms the word Maul, which is a verb meaning to damage/harm someone.Darth Tyrannus (ie. Count Dooku) comes from the Latin word Tyrannus, which means to cause tyranny, ie. to rule people cruelly.Darth Bane, who was first mentioned in the Phantom Menace Novelisation, comes from the word bane, which means to poison/harm someone.Also many people believe that the word Darth itself is an abbreviation of the title "DARk lord of the siTH".

Figo 2 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Thank you, Darth Pernicious. I always thought Darth Vader was a play on "dark invader." I guess Lucas is a lot cleverer than I gave him credit for.Figo, remembering Schubert's Erlkoenig:Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hoerest du nicht,was Erlenkoenig mir leise verspricht?

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I always thought Darth was a name, and not a title, that is until Lucas changed all the rules in the terrible but fun TPM, a big budget Plan 9.Afterall, Obi-Wan refers to him as Darth, rather than Vader. Why would a Jedi Knight refer to him by title rather than by name.Lucas needs a good I watched Star Wars the other day and I must say that Sir Alex Guinness' performance is first rate. It blows away anything Ewen McGregor does with the character. In fact they can't be the same character, they can't, unless Obi-Wan undergoes a personality change on the same order as God did from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Darth Pernicious 0 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 The whole Obi-Wan referring to Vader as "Darth" in Episode 4 always confused me too , but since all the Sith are called Darth it makes more sense as a title.Maybe Obi-Wan doesn't realise that Darth is a title. So far in the the prequel trilogy none of the Jedi have heard the the name "Darth" being used and there is no hint that anyone referred to Emperor Palpatine in the original trilogy as "Darth". Obi-Wan possibly believed that Darth was the first name of Anakin's new identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching his performances in Oliver Twist, The Horse's Mouth, Bridge on the River Kwai, and yes, even Star Wars, I can't believe he is the same man -- nevermind the disparity between he and Ewen.I thought MacGregor did a fine job approximating Guinness's inflections in TPM. Overall, he seemed a little more at ease in AOTC. But no matter how many favorable notices he may receive for his non-Star Wars work, I think it impossible, at this stage of his career, he will ever attain the same level of greatness as his predecessor -- even if he harbors an equal level of contempt for the fans.

Morn 8 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 He's the top Darth. And perhaps even the only Darth left. I don't see a problem with Obi-Wan calling Vader Darth. I mean, Obi-Wan probably views him as more of an evilness than a person. Because of what he said about Anakin being dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
