I love the artwork, it's adorable, but the text is really hard to read.

Only a maxter of evil, barth

Yeah, it didn't come through in the picture very well. It's much easier to read in person lol

Had me wondering who Barth is :) Fancy font.

Those pixel art designs look familiar… did you base them on Tiny Death Star?

I made them using this kit from Amazon!

This is great, but the line in the movie always annoyed me.

Darth is just a title, so it doesn't make sense to call him that. He should really say "Only a master of evil, Vader". Otherwise every sith would just be called Darth.

What’s wrong with calling people Darth? It’s like addressing someone as “Captain” or “Doctor”.

[–] Pogbom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, like if someone was talking to Master Yoda, they can say "thank you, Master."

[–] Sertou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I figure this was due to a bit of retconning on Lucas’ part. When he wrote Star Wars: A New Hope, perhaps he intended “Darth” as a name rather than a title. It wasn’t until the Phantom Menace he introduced the usage of Darth as a title.

Even so, how many times are other character addressed by their titles, such as Padawan, Master, Senator, etc., not to mention military titles like captain and admiral. In that context, I think it could make sense for Obi-wan to call Vader “Darth.”

I think there's enough room for interpretation for Darth to make sense. You could even postulate that addressing him purely by his title and without his name is Obi-Wan putting a spotlight on the fact that Vader has become less a person and more his position.
