> "Vader" actually means "father"

In what language? Isn't it "Vater" in German?

[WalterBright]

Dutch is Vader.

In German, it's Vater.

Not with that pronunciation. The prequels (with "Darth Sidious") make the "invader" source clear.

[WalterBright]

Americans pronounce a lot of foreign words wrongly.

Making up something 20 years after the fact is not compelling :-/

[djur]

"Vader" = "father" is equally made up, considering that the character was not originally anyone's father. It's a fun coincidence, nothing more.
