JediNyt Posted September 26, 2002 Posted September 26, 2002 Has anyone ever thought about the origin of Darth? How did Sith get that title? I know that its just a name George made up but is there any story behind the title Darth?
t3rr0r Posted September 27, 2002 Posted September 27, 2002 the original darth, darth bane, came up with the sith and apprentice rule, as well as the darth title... i think.
Jedi_Monk Posted September 27, 2002 Posted September 27, 2002 I'm thinking it's an abbreviation of: Dark Lord of the Sith.
JediNyt Posted September 27, 2002 Author Posted September 27, 2002 I just thought of something. In the Sith Language Darth means Lord, duh, why didnt I think of that before?
JediNyt Posted September 29, 2002 Author Posted September 29, 2002 Heheh. Hey if Exar Kun was a Sith then why didnt he have a Darth title? Was he around before Sith decided to be called Darth?
Count Tyranus Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 Exar Kun was around before the Time of Bane. I'm probably wrong, but I heard Bane's real first name was Darth, and that, in respect to him, all Sith Lords from then on called themselves "Darth", followed by their chosen name (be it Sidious, Maul, Tyranus, Vader...). I'm not sure it does mean 'Lord' in Sith Language, because then why would people who give the Dark Lords their full title say: "Lord Darth Vader" or "Lord Darth Tyranus". That's like saying: "Lord Lord Vader", which is kinda stupid. Either that, or Bane stuttered...

That's like saying: "Lord Lord Vader", which is kinda stupid. I've never heard anyone say Lord Darth Vader in any of the movies. It's always Lord Vader OR Darth Vader. So i like that theory.
JediNyt Posted September 29, 2002 Author Posted September 29, 2002 Ya thats true you never hear Lord Darth in the movies. I only saw it in articles and news casts and stuff. Of course what in the Force do they know? So ya Darth could still mean Lord. Dont trust what the media says. Thats ANYTHING but canon. And I never saw Lord Darth in any EU either so dont bash EU for that theory.
Count Tyranus Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 1: I did say that it was probably wrong. 2: I hate EU, and so I won't bash it to support my theory. 3: I don't really mind how the name came about, because it's here now and it is a great name.
