It seems that all the "Darths" have a Latin name. I noticed this definately after Tyrranus. I think Vader is from vadere meaning "to rush" which when you think about Anakin makes sense. Does this mean there is a chance that George Lucas actually knows what he was doing?

Okay, I'll tell you all the real story behind my success with Star Wars and the associated franchise.
George Lucas
You see, it all started when I was still a young pup and found a beautiful antique bottle in my aunt's attic.
George Lucas
I held the bottle to the light to admire it.
As I held it up higher my grasp slipped and the bottle fell to the floor, shattering.

Well, at that point a Djinn rose from the broken remains of its once-prison and offered to grant me a single wish.
George Lucas
I told him my greatest dream was to set foot on Mars, though unfortunately I am quite afraid of flying or getting blasted into space on a rocket.

So I asked if he could build a tramway that would allow me to use a little tram-capsule to drive there.
George Lucas
Well, the Djinn rolled his eyes and began to lecture me regarding the feasibility of my request. Planets' orbits would have to be impossibly disrupted, the laws of Physics would need to be changed, life on Earth as we know it would be changed forever, etc.
George Lucas
He looked at me and said, "No dice - what's your backup wish?"
George Lucas
At that point, I asked to be the successful developer of an enduring saga of multi-installment sci-fi movies to be made over the course of thirty years.
It would need to please all of its viewers equally and irrefutably place me at the pinnacle of filmmaking accomplishment for all eternity.

So the Djinn then asked, "What color of tram-car do you want, red or blue?"
