It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah when Vader is named he is very much not Luke's father. The connection is retroactive but Lucas sorta ran with it and made it a Sith thing by the time he got to Sidious

Lucas does super on the nose naming a lot in general and it's just a surprise Vader was a real guys name and not just an example of that. Weird coincidence. Maybe it's what gave him that ideas which eventually led to General Grievious

The tie in novels for ANH make it clear Darth Vader is just his name. Darth isn't a title, it's his first name.

Yup. It is clear in the film itself. Obi-Wan repeatedly calls him "Darth" like it is his first name. The Obi-Wan show even tried to play with that by the end with Obi-Wan calling him Darth once he is sure Anakin is truly dead or rather chose to be this
