Luke Skywalker: What would have been his Sith name?

In ROTJ Luke Skywalker was on the edge of destroying Vader with the dark side of the force "Take your father's place at my side"

In my opinion, Luke was thisclose on becoming a Sith Lord and Darth Sidious' new apprentice.

I always wondered what his Sith name would have been? Each name has a certain relevance to their character.

Darth Plagueis: Life giver/taker
Darth [in]Sidious: Sinister phantom manipulator
Darth Maul: Attacker
Darth Tyranus: Tyranny
Darth [in]Vader: Wasn't his first assignment to invade and purge the Jedi Temple?

Darth ?

If this has been discussed before, mods please delete this post and direct me. Thanks.

 

Darth Indecisivus.

 

Darth Tosche

 

Come on, I'm sure you guys could make a Sith name work for boys that kiss their sisters on the lips too.

 

Darth Oedipus.

 

Darth Incestious

 

^^^^

 

Darth Prognatus, Darth Progna or some other variation would have been a possibility. "Prognatus" means "born, sprung from" in Latin and can also be used as a substitute when referring to a "son".

 

^ ^ ^ Darth Scion means the same thing: "Son" or "Offspring" but also carries the connotation "favored son". Plus it just sounds cooler than "Darth Prognatus".

 

It's also taken, what with Darth Sion and all. Granted, it wouldn't have been taken had it happened back when the trilogy first came out, but it would have been unoriginal chronologically speaking.

 

Darth Vader II: The Whiny Tyrant.

 

Wasn't Darth Vader originally named that because it's like German for father or something?

 

The Dutch for Father is Vater. The invented word "Vader" certainly evokes a sense of paternity, even if the match isn't precise. It also carries the sense of "invader" the way Darth Sidious carries the sense of "insidious".

Some other fun "Sith Luke" names:

Darth Reiver
Darth Inimicus
Darth Oscuro
Darth Vilus
Darth Apocalypse
Darth Eschatus
Darth Ex
Darth Lucas

wrong way around. Vader is Dutch, Vater is German. Father is English, just in case And words with such striking similarity are called cognates .

 

I thought Vader was dutch, but I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong and looked silly

So if Vader loses the "in" from "invader" and Sidious loses the "in" from "insidious", Luke should probably be Darth Cestious

 

and the same joke reaches a whole new audience

 

Ja. Zis is vot ve meant to schay.

 

Das ist nicht Deutsch.

 

That would be a sick Sith name! I'd want something like Darth Chaos or something, but that sounds a little too mainstream. I honestly think if Lucas was to make Luke turn to the darkside, his Sith name would be Darth Starkiller. It would be a way for George to pay tribute to Luke/Anakin's original name.

 

Bow before your lord.

 

I asked one of my guys in our Rotterdam office what Vader meant in Dutch, about a year ago or so. He said it didn't mean anything.

Someone get Grand_Admiral_Grant.

Edit: Just dug up the email - He says: "Darth Vader = Duivelse Vader - vader van de donkere zijnde"

... okay so whatever that means.

 

My results at this online Dutch dictionary inform me that pater, vaartje, papa, vader, ouder all mean "father".

 

Well, I suppose the official thread is locked...
