The name game

I know, i know. more questions. but think of it this way........well.......um....i'm sure theres some excuse for these that will make us all feel warm and fuzzy.

o.k., done my random streak. and now for something completely different.

As an opening statement i have this to say: Ugh. this has been giving me a hard time FOREVER. what's more, it's simple. Names.

to start, sith names

"Henceforth, you shall be known as... Vader. Darth vader"[ Sidious to anakin/ Vader in ROTS
hmm.....isn't 'vader' dutch for ' father'?? and, wait, vader+padme'=luke and leia.....AWKWARD coinidence, i wonder?

"i was recruited by a man named tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden" jango fett to obi-wan AOTC
and
" i'm afraid that master sifo-dyas was killed almost 10 years ago" obi to lama su on kamino ( he then thinks "it might have been 11 or 12. i'll have to check with master yoda later") also in AOTC
and
" insert any random qoute you want with the name count dooku in it"
same people?

oh and by the way, incase you guys havent figured out, i'm a complete idiot.

Simple one this time. darth maul. where did that come from? quick note that in the dictionary, MAUL means " to injure someone badly by attacking" might be why he's named that. the guy can kick.....and jump.....and other stuff i can't do.

Grievous. might just be a coincidence again, but it means literally " very serious or harmful" huh. wierd.

last one

"Bail Antillles of alderaan and aks moe of malastare" panaka to queen amiadala about the nominees for chancellar in TPM
poop. this one i cant figure out. funny how Bail Antilles ( senator)
Bail Organa ( senator) and Wedge Antilles ( awesome awesome awesome awesome pilot) all come from alderaan. tried looking up a family tree but there isnt a clear one around.

EDIT: i had a brain poof ( yes, there is such thing) while i was typing this. wedge comes from corellia, not alderaan *starts knocking himself in the head for forgetting where one of his favorite characters comes from*

Well thats it ( stop laughing! i know you are!!) few, that was a lot of typing.
MTFBWY .always.

( stop laughing! i know you are!!)

Ha! ha! ha! How'd you know?!

Anyway, I can guarantee that Tyrannus and Dooku are the same. Tyrannus was Dooku's Sith name. According to The New Essential Chronology it states that Sifo-Dias, one of Dooku's close friends, sensed the emergance of the Sith and placed an order for a massive clone army. Sidious learned of the plan and ordered his would-be-apprentice, Count Dooku, to kil his friend, Sifo-Dias. Dooku obeyed, and erased all mention of Kamino.

Of course, I have my own theories, but that's what the book says.

wait, vader+padme'=luke and leia.....AWKWARD

What I can't understand is how ugly Luke came from two decent looking people.

MTFBWY! God bless!

I've read that Dooku could be from the Japanese word "doku", meaning poison/ From what I've read, Antilles is like our Smith. The most common surname. Bail is like John or Robert- really common first names.

The name Darth Vader can be taken two ways.

It literally means "Dark Father". Perhaps Palpatine originally hoped Anakin would be the Dark Father of a New Order of Sith Warrirors. This scheme nearly came true when it was learned that the children of Padme had survived.

Darth Vader sounds like Dark Invader, so some have said that he was to be an InVader of worlds, making them submit to the Empire.

I suppose both are true.

As for the other names, I think you've hit on their meanings. "Maul" can also mean to cause a wedge between. Palpatine used Maul to drive a wedge between Qui Gon Jinn and his pupils: Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Grevious was harmful; although he might have been most harmful to himself, in that shell of a robot body.

Tyrannous sounds like "tyrannical" and that's what Count Dooku was on the worlds he controlled.
