Many of the Star Wars galaxy’s Sith Lords use the title of Darth, yet few properties directly address the title’s meaning, history, and origins. The first Star Wars character to use the Darth title is the franchise’s most iconic villain: Darth Vader. Vader is the only Sith Lord to be referred to with the Darth title in the original trilogy (despite Emperor Palpatine having the Sith name of Darth Sidious), making it initially seem as though it was a false given name.
