Sidious had given the title of "Darth Vader" to Anakin Skywalker because at the time he believed that the fallen Jedi was worthy of bearing a Sith name.
Darth was his Sith title and used by almost everyone else. Darth Vader is the only officer in the Empire without a rank. “Lord” is the term that subordinates refer to him, similar to calling the Emperor “his Majesty.” “Darth” is his official Sith title, but it's not an Imperial rank.
It is also possible that "Darth Vader" originated from the name of Gary Vader, a boy who went to high school with Lucas. Although "Darth" is a title, and not a first name, this is not made clear in the first Star Wars film from 1977 (which was titled Star Wars, then later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope).
While 'Vader' does mean 'Father' in Dutch, it's pronounced very differently ('fah-der'). 'Vater' is also the German word for 'Father'. 'Darth' doesn't mean anything in Dutch or German, although it does, of course, sound a bit like 'Dark'.
Darth was a Sith title given as both a name and title to the Sith Lords, an order of Force-sensitives who channeled their power through the dark side of the Force. The title, which roughly translated to "Dark Lord," was part of a Sith Lord's mantle, preceding a moniker that replaced the Sith Lord's original name.
Everything Palpatine Did to SABOTAGE Darth Vader's Suit
Who killed Darth Sidious?
Transference. Sidious used Plagueis' methods to transfer his consciousness to a new body after his first demise. During the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Sidious was killed by a redeemed Anakin Skywalker, who turned back to the light side of the Force and threw Sidious down a reactor shaft to save his son Luke Skywalker.
Obi-Wan responds by contemptuously calling him "Darth," indicating that he accepts that his old friend is truly dead. The moment lends further credibility to the theory, since it would evoke the painful memory of Vader's earlier defeat when the two square off for their final battle on the Death Star.
Darth Vader hesitated because he was very suprised that ahsoka was alive because she was assumed dead when He found her lightsabers on the remote moon were they crashed the Venator where many clones died being controlled.
According to series creator George Lucas, the power loss resulting from Anakin's injuries is what drove Palpatine to decide to replace his apprentice with Luke. "Anakin, as Skywalker, as a human being, was going to be extremely powerful,"Lucas explained in 2005.
Despite Darth Vader's vast stores of hatred for Palpatine, the Emperor had long relied on it. This ultimately proved to be the Emperor's fatal mistake, as seen in Return of the Jedi.
Palpatine, motivated by pride and a desire to see his homeworld become a part of the greater galaxy, sought to quietly undermine his father's political agenda during the 65 BBY election season. More importantly, however, it was the rift with his father that indirectly led to his future as a Sith.
A year later, in 4 ABY, with his health rapidly declining, Yoda died of old age when Skywalker returned to see him. He became one with the Force, shortly before Luke redeemed his father Anakin, who fulfilled his destiny as the Chosen One by killing Sidious.
Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
Summary. Kylo Ren's character arc in the Star Wars sequel trilogy closely mirrors Darth Vader's, but he was never a Sith like his grandfather. The only Sith act that Kylo Ren committed was when he betrayed Supreme Leader Snoke, following the Sith Rule of Two.
As the son of Mother Talzin, the Zabrak male was taken from a young age by Sidious to act as his impressionable apprentice. The boy was raised as Darth Maul, a name he carried throughout his life. In Legends, it was insinuated that he was born "Maul" before attaining the honor of the "Darth" title.
After the Sith were decimated by the Jedi Knights of a thousand years ago, Bane enacted the Sith rule of two: there would be only two active Sith at one time -- a Dark Lord to embody the power, and an apprentice to crave it.
Annakin or Anakin is a given name and surname of Germanic origin. The name means "son of Anno" or “Son of the Eagle”. Anno is a variant of the Old High German given name "Arno" which means Eagle.
According to Imperial Estimates in Star Wars Inside #87, only about 100 of the Jedi survived Order 66. Most were subsequently hunted down and killed in the years following the Great Jedi Purge.
So it's basically Dark Father." (Rolling Stone, June 2, 2005). "Vader" is the Dutch word for "father" (the Dutch word is instead pronounced "fah-der"), and the German word for "father" (Vater) is similar.
