Browny11uk Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 This is what i dont understnad why do people call Revan Darth Malak because he is lord of the sith he should be Lord Revan & Bastila should be Darth Bastila. Because on the films Darth Vadar is the aprentice of Lord Palpatine or whatever his name is? & also on the game pepole dont call Malak Lord Malak its Darth Malak he used to be Darth malak when revan was Lord Revan.

SilentScope001 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Darth is shorthand for Dark Lord of the Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 The whole name: Dark Lord of the Sith or Lord Darth ***** (Put your Sith Lord name here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 As the others have said, Darth and Lord are pretty much the same. Malak is called both Darth and Lord in the game. Vader is also called both Darth and Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Darth is shorthand for Dark Lord of the Sith. Nope, it isn't. 'Darth' is simply an extra symbol of power a Sith Lord has. That various non-Dark Lords, such as Darth Wyyrlok, Talon, Nihl, Bandon, Sion, and all the rest were able to have it makes that impossible. To get back on topic, since Malak was both a Sith Lord and Darth, people could accurately address him by both titles. Though some Sith have the status both titles provide and aren't called by them is likely because their names don't sound very good with those added. 'Lord Bastila' or 'Darth Bastila' doesn't sound very good, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglu Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I also read somewhere, that the word "Darth" is some spoiled version of the Rakatan word "Daritha", what means "Emperor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookieepedia had an article about it, but they made some points about how that might not be possible. On instance is how Andeddu had 'Darth' in front of his name, and was alive over a century before the Great Hyperspace War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglu Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 @ Ctrl_alt_del: I read this in the German Star Wars- Magazine. Well, that's the problem when a name becomes a title and is suddenly supposed to be much older... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
