I try to read posts in the original language also and I think I just learned that father in German is Vater. 🤔
Does anyone know if that's how they named Darth Vader? 😅🤷♀️

@anolandria@mastodon.social Probably but IIRC the in lore reason is Palpatine liked naming his apprentices with a word beginning with "in," e.g. darth (in)vader

@anolandria@mastodon.social I think it might be a coincidence, since it seems Lucas didn't come up with the whole father/son thing until well into actually filming Empire. But it's a cool coincidence, nonetheless.
