On a related note, while I was browsing through the list/screenshots of changes made between the 1977 and 2004 versions of A Star Wars / A New Hope on the official site I noticed that in 1977 Vader was listed in the credits as 'Lord Darth Vader' but in 2004 he was just 'Darth Vader' which to me suggests that 'Darth' was originally not a title but rather Vader's first name. I could be wrong but that's how I interpret the change. It's also interesting to note that the caption beneath the screen comparison does not mention the fact that Vader is listed differntly in 2004 than he was in 2004 (instead it just says that James Earl Jones was not credited in '77 but got what he deserved in 2004), probably because is my theory is correct it would prove George Lucas' claim that he had it all planned from the start and it's Anakin/Vader's story is a lie.I particularly like how Darth Vader isn't touted as the main character.
