Hi Folks,

wanna use the Star Wars Swarm.

In my campaign, Luke is Emperor. Additionally, I use the mythic epic angle on the campaign.

In the movies, the Sith names mean something, not really out of intention of their Sith Lord name givers, but out of the cosmos himself (so, that the names have additional meanings is not a choice from the characters in the universe, but more "coincidence").

So, Sith names like Darth Vader (could be a modification from the German word for father = Vater or Invader), Darth Sidious (Insidious), Darth Tyranus (the ruler, the tyrant) have additional weight.

So, how would Luke´s title be? Someone in a forum proposed Darth Zorn (from the German word for wrath), it´s a pretty good name, but considering me and my group are German ourselves, that´s a bit cheap.

Ideas?

Darth Orge (Greek for Wrath) would be my first impluse

To play on that a little: "Darth Scorn"

Some of these have been used in the EU, but here are some of the ones I used in the past: Darth Sorrow, Lord Dusk, Darth Malice, Lord Malefactor, and Darth Gnox.

There's likely more, but my memory is pretty fuzzy.

Perdition or some translation thereof. Just a thought.

A good fanfic I read that featured an evil Luke named him Darth Rage, which I think suits him since his big hurdle seems to be overcoming his anger (see: the duel on the second Death Star, Darth Vader urging him to release his anger on Bespin)

Yay, you are great. But we are not finished yet.

Darth Orge is a great one.

Darth Scorn would be super great (a translation and another spelling). But "Scorn" is another word in English, so I could be too literal.

Rage, Sorrow etc are good names, but the other names are not direct words, more variation.

If another addition did not make it, you have influenced my campaign from afar, Eruletho. Than it would be Darth Orge.

... but seriously I'd go with Darth Filius. It goes with the Vader=Father thing (Filius=Son in Latin).

What's Luke's "Thing"?

As you say, Vader's angle was father.

Sidious = Insidious - To entrap or beguile, stealthy, treacherous, deceitful. Yeah that's Big Palpy.

Tyranus = Tyrant - a sovereign or other ruler who uses power oppressively or unjustly. Count Dooku was kinda the king jerkface in charge of the Seps.

Soooo what's Luke's angle, his role, his signature move? That'll pretty much tell you where to go....

I think Emperor Skywalker sounds pretty BA to me... no need for a titled Darth name...

The only problem with this is that Darth Vader wasn't originally intended to be Luke's father - that didn't happen until The Empire Strikes Back , no matter what George Lucas says. The original script was a one-shot movie with no real hope of a sequel, and it was only by the sheerest of fortune that it became successful enough to defy the odds placed against it. No, if you look at the name of the other Sith, you'll find the pattern you've already hit on here.

Sidious: Insidious.

Tyranous: Tyrant.

Maul: Maul. (*snickers*)

Vader? Invader.

For my part, when I ran Luke as a Sith, he had been won over by Vader at the end of Empire , and the two of them went on to kill the Emperor. Luke became "Darth Praxis". In education, Praxis is the recurring passage through the cyclical process of experiential learning. The idea is that Luke's central idea was that he was learning and changing and growing, becoming something new with each iteration of himself. Maybe not the best name, but it was what it was.

What about Starkiller? Yes it was also Galen Marek's codename as well, but Luke had it decades before TFU.

I like Orge and Praxis best so far. I like the underlying meaning of Praxis, because although Palpatine tries to seduce Luke through rage, it is not a defining part of his personality I guess.

But Praxis is a common used German word as well as Zorn...

So maybe something about learning, curiosity, Hero´s Journey with a negative spin would be great.

Try running names through google translate or similar into other languages like Dutch, one of the middle eastern languages etc. That might tweak them enough to sound right.

I'd go with Darth Scion, personally, since he's the literal (and perhaps final) heir to so much: the Jedi and Sith traditions, the Emperor's throne, Naboo royalty...

If he considers himself the inevitable conclusion of what came before, Darth Terminus or Darth Ultima might work.

I'm not sure what a good name would be, but another angle to play with would be the desert world he came from (a la Darth Krayt) or the twin suns Tatooine (duality reflecting the two suns, the two sides of the force, and his dual nature as man and machine).

Last approach I can think of for now would be some play off "Chosen One," since he really was.

A good fanfic I read that featured an evil Luke named him Darth Rage, which I think suits him since his big hurdle seems to be overcoming his anger (see: the duel on the second Death Star, Darth Vader urging him to release his anger on Bespin)

Darth Rageous?

[ EDIT: Sigh…. If you’re going to pun-and-run, it helps if you spell it correctly in the first place. Sigh…. ]

Darth Scion, FTW!

I'm a little sad someone beat me to this.

Star killer is a great reference to the original drafts of Star Wars.

One of my main antagonists in my campaign is Inquisitor Phar Venger. Feel free to steal the Venger part for Darth Venger.

Crap I forgot about him.

I gotta cast my vote for one of the Sith Lords in Futurama: Darth Stroyer, Darth Trocious, Darth Sploder, Darth Urderer, and Darth Ithead (pronounced "It-Head").

How about Darth Abolos —separately conjures up shades of "diabolos," "abolition," and a bit of that evil entity we all know and love, "Abeloth."

Diabolos , from the Greek: "properly, a slanderer; a false accuser; unjustly criticizing to hurt (malign) and condemn to sever a relationship" and "' backbiter,' i.e. an accuser, calumniator (slanderer). ( diábolos ) is literally someone who " casts through ," i.e. making charges that bring down (destroy)." Also, of course, whence we get the word "devil."

Abolition : from the Latin, "to destroy" (abolere).

Abeloth : the nigh-impossible-to-kill Force entity of Legend.

Darth Yaya

Darth Bigboote

Darth Smallberries

Darth Whorfin

Yes, I'm being silly.

I don't think we can answer this until we know how you intend Luke to be played. Is he consumed by his anger, by grief, by a corrupted ideal to keep peace in the galaxy by Force if necessary. Is he a clever diplomat or a merciless tyrant? I'm assuming that he became emperor after killing his father and then at some point overthrowing Palpatine?
