> "Vader" actually means "father"

In what language? Isn't it "Vater" in German?

Dutch is Vader.

In German, it's Vater.

Not with that pronunciation. The prequels (with "Darth Sidious") make the "invader" source clear.

Americans pronounce a lot of foreign words wrongly.

Making up something 20 years after the fact is not compelling :-/

"Vader" = "father" is equally made up, considering that the character was not originally anyone's father. It's a fun coincidence, nothing more.
