About Greg Bonkowski
Expertise
I can answer pretty much anything when it comes to the Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Knights, the history of the Jedi Knights, and other characters and incidents throughout the Star Wars saga. I am also interested in the technical aspects of the Star Wars saga. I like to think of myself as both a historian and an archeologist of the time period that took place in a galaxy far, far away.

Experience
I have been a Star Wars fan since the time my father took me to see the first movie when it was released in 1977. I have read practically every book that I can get my hands on, and I keep up to date with production of and the stories behind all five films(six if you count the next one to be released.) I am pretty much interested in the mythos surrounding Star Wars, and the history of the Jedi Knights.

Education/Credentials
B.A. Washington and Jefferson College

Subject: What is darth vadar's name...

Question
What is darth vadar's name?

Answer
Seth,

First of all, I want to thank you for allowing me this chance to answer your question.

Darth Vader is really Anakin Skywalker, a powerful Jedi Knight who was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Anakin was a slave-child on Tatooine until he was rescued by two Jedi Knights, Qui-gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-wan Kenobi. Qui-gon believed that Anakin fulfilled an ancient propechy regarding "a chosen one" who will bring balance to the Force. Qui-gon offered to train the boy to become a Jedi, but was killed in combat by a Sith Lord. Obi-wan then started to train the boy and was confident in his abilities until Anakin turned to evil and "helped the Empire hunted down destroy the Jedi Knights."

The name Darth Vader was bestowed upon him by Darth Sidious, who in reality was the Supreme Chancellor of the Universe. Ironically, Darth Vader means Dark Father.

Seth,

I hope that I have answered your question for you. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to contact me anytime.


Sincerely,


Greg Bonkowski
