... Dr. Wheeler also denied rumors that the beetle was rich in 'midichlorians', and that eating it would induce powers similair to the character Darth Vader. "Pure unfounded speculation," he said.
fun/fantasy movies existed before the overrated Star Wars came out. What made it seem 'less dark' was the sheer goofy aspect of it: two robots modeled on Laurel & Hardy, and a smartass outlaw with bigfoot co-pilot and their hotrod pizza-shaped ship, and they were sucked aboard a giant Disco Ball. -adw1
Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean really, it was half-witted. - Christopher Lee

If all you were going on the name alone, you would be inclined to think that Vader was the one who described the species. Bug collecting is a most unlikely hobby for a Sith lord.

*hyperbaric chamber opens*

Vader: "What is it, Captain? Did the probe droids find anything?"

Officer: "Yes, my lord. Sixteen previously unkown types of... insect."

Vader: "Excellent. Transfer the recorded data and preserved specimens to my lab."

Officer: "As you wish, my lord."

Vader: *mumbles* "I will dominate the Imperial Entomological Society's summit this year!"
