Re: The Last Word
"Darth Vader" is not a name, it is a title. Here's a parallel phenomenon from our own planet: the poet best known as "Lord Byron" was actually named George Gordon. "Lord Byron" is just a title, which others held before and after him. So while Anakin Skywalker is the best-known "Darth Vader", it does not necessarily follow that he was the only "Darth Vader". Others can hold the title, just not at the same time.
Now consider the opening line from every Star Wars movie:
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far away..."
A long time ago. Anakin "Darth Vader" Skywalker is long dead. Therefore, so far as we know, the title is available for another to take up. And thus, Stewie Griffin could someday become Darth Vader. Although, so far as I know, this hasn't happened yet. But it might.
