I’m gonna be that guy and point out that Vader means father in dutch. His name was always a spoiler. I’m trying to think of how you would inMaul someone but all I can think is ‘I’m gonna inmaul you mom later’
The Vader=Anakin thing was a retcon introduced when writing Empire. Early drafts of ESB explicitly have the two as different characters. Vader being the Dutch word for father is just a remarkable coincidence.
See my other response to the other reply for more but yeah, I can see that. The general mythology behind how Star Wars was made is a series of ‘too good to be true’ coincidences and interruptions.
