The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed…

‘lord’ here isn’t being used as a title but rather a descriptor. He is a ‘lord,’ and is called Darth Vader.

It’s the same as if you were to say:

The valiant knight Sir Arthur…

edit: if it were being used as a title, it would be capitalized.
edit: also crucial here is the definite article “The.”

“Lord Vader” vs the “THE evil lord Darth Vader”
