A Darth by any Other Name...
by Mike KrumboltzJun 25, 2007
Everyone knows Darth Vader. He choked dissenters, sliced off his son's hand, and blew up his daughter's home planet. Vader was a bad dude, but he wasn't the only "Darth" from a galaxy far, far away.
George Lucas and his merry team of henchmen created many different Darths, including Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, and Darth Bane. Despite their relatively low profile, these lesser known Sith lords draw quite a bit of buzz.
Searches on Darth Nihilus spiked 398% after his name was mentioned on the Howard Stern show. Apparently, Howard's staff interviewed a guy dressed as Nihilus at the latest Star Wars convention. A few clips were played on the air, and Nihilus became a star in Search.
Below, we rank the most popular Darths in Buzz. Most are minor Star Wars characters. However, should Stern ever mention any of their names, they're sure to join evil's A-list.
