Vader

Father in Dutch

Vader is the chief villain of the original Star Wars trilogy, a helmeted figure in black armor who serves as enforcer for the galactic empire.

The name has become shorthand for a menacing authority figure, especially one who was once good: My boss went full Vader after the promotion.

Dutch for "father," the name foreshadows the film's famous plot twist.
