      That surprised the hell out of me cause of all the other sith names, I figured it was just short for 'invader’sinxe the other bad guys had names based off evil sounding words, Maul, idiots (like insidious), tyrannus. I guess he just made up.that theme after.

        Yeah when Vader is named he is very much not Luke’s father. The connection is retroactive but Lucas sorta ran with it and made it a Sith thing by the time he got to Sidious

          Lucas does super on the nose naming a lot in general and it’s just a surprise Vader was a real guys name and not just an example of that. Weird coincidence. Maybe it’s what gave him that ideas which eventually led to General Grievious

            Yup. It is clear in the film itself. Obi-Wan repeatedly calls him “Darth” like it is his first name. The Obi-Wan show even tried to play with that by the end with Obi-Wan calling him Darth once he is sure Anakin is truly dead or rather chose to be this
