June 3, 200421 yr In the original trilogy, Darth Vader and Darth Sidious seemed to have gotten their names by taking away the "in-" syllable from words. But afterwards books, comics, games and the newer trilogy didn't follow that at all unfortunately. With Darth Tyrannosaurus(whatever Dooku was) and other fruity names floating around, did Lucas forget his convention or was there no such thing? Personnally, I believe Darth Visible and Darth Solent would have kicked ass. hehehe
June 3, 200421 yr Darth Washing Detergent ---- sounds scary or: Darth Yoda, how cool would it be if Yoda went dark?
June 3, 200421 yr But afterwards books, comics, games and the newer trilogy didn't follow that at all unfortunately. With Darth Tyrannosaurus(whatever Dooku was) and other fruity names floating around, did Lucas forget his convention or was there no such thing? In the original triology we had Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, only one Darth that Anakin Skywalker. It was with the prequels that George Lucas (Darth Flannel) make the whole "Darth" title thing so ... there was no convention to start with.
June 3, 200421 yr How about Darth Darth Binx? "Meesa be thinkin' yousa goin' ta die! Don't yousa be undiestimatin' the dark side." GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! STOP! STOP! STOP! if anyone in lucasfilm likes the fans, he will create an extra level in one of the games that allows you to shoot, hang and burn this annoying creature! It's very hard to be polite if you're a cat.
June 3, 200421 yr There are so many IN* words to choose from and this isn't even begining to scratch the surface Darth Cipient Darth Clement Darth Souciant Darth Nocuous Darth Congruous Darth Dolent Darth Transigent Darth Eluctable <-Favorite Darth Choate
June 3, 200421 yr Darth Nards innards! Dark Lord has NARDS! Why did I mentally remove the "R" from "Nards"?
June 3, 200421 yr ...many "Darth's" there be, but there be only one: DARK HELMET ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
June 3, 200421 yr "no sir... i have not seen you playing with your puppets." It's very hard to be polite if you're a cat.
June 3, 200421 yr Darth Testine - they always said he had guts. Darth Vertebrate - no-one ever dared call him spineless
June 5, 200421 yr The "In" rule doesn't work with Darth Tyranus or Darth Bane. I think it's coincidence at best.
June 6, 200421 yr What was Lucas thinking when he came up with Count Dooku...Count Dracula...what the hell?
June 8, 200421 yr What was Lucas thinking when he came up with Count Dooku...Count Dracula...what the hell? It's a nod to the fact that Lucas chose Christopher Lee, whose most well known part he played was Count Dracula, to play the character.
June 8, 200421 yr Lee had many great roles over the years, but perhaps was most famous as a Bond Villian.
June 8, 200421 yr the Darth rule seems off when applied to Maul also... Besides isn't Vader swedish for Father? I'm sure if we got to looking for it Darth is a play on some other title as well...
June 8, 200421 yr I always thought that Darth came from the word dearth. But maybe i'm wrong. And while we're on the subject of lacking, I personally like Darth Cheney or Darth Rumsfeld, his Sith apprentice.
June 29, 200421 yr I'll repeat now what I wrote in another topic: This system (one master-one apprentice)appeared after Ruusan battle 1000 years before Skywalker when Darth Bane reformed sith traditions. Title "Darth" which was Bane's name also is used among the sith who exist AFTER Ruusan Era NEVER before, becouse this title was kind of a ceremonial respect toward the foundator and reformer of the Sith - Darth Bane (and so we have Darth Imperius, Darth Sidious, Darth Tyranus, Darth Vader and many others) What was really pathetic in KOTOR was that idiots from Bioware used the title Darth which shouldn't appear at all in this time period. It only shows us how weak knowledge about EU have developers of original KOTOR (not to mention about other flaws). The title Darth is characteristic after Ruusan. Never before. Sources say so... HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
