No, Javaguy, Rome started out as a dictatorship, then became a Republic, then became a dictatorship again, so that wouldn't really work _______________ |"Evacuate? In our moment of Triumph?

if you watch the movies in french, it's actually "Dark Vador" and not Darth Vader. i guess they figured some french peeps might be too stupid to associate "darth" with the dark side so they put it in plain words for them. or perhaps it's their inability to properly pronounce 'th'. yeah that must be it. i wonder what they came up with for other languages... _______________ make install -not war |

A few years ago I read that it means "dark father" in German. A German speaker said no, but it might mean that in Sanskrit. Since then I've heard that it means dark father in just about every imaginable language. I don't know where Lucas got it or if he just made it up. [Edit: I should read these threads more carefully. I just saw the part that says Vader does mean father!] "Palpatine" is from Palatine Hill in Rome. It has been variously debated what the significance is, but there was some event there that was significant in the beginning of Rome's slide from Republic into dictatorship, so it's very fitting. _______________ My signature is only one line.
