What did the entry say before you changed it? Randy6767 19:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

It had an encyclopedic description: "A main character in George Lucas's Star Wars movie trilogy. (41.9 BBY - 4 ABY) The Dark Lord of the Sith and brutal apprentice to Darth Sidious. In 19 BBY, Anakin Skywalker was dubbed Darth Vader when he turned to the dark side of the Force." bd2412 T 19:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
