What is Darth Vader’s real name?

The story behind the answer

The correct choice is Vader’s birth identity: a gifted Jedi Knight trained by Obi‑Wan Kenobi, believed to be the Chosen One, who fell to the dark side and received the Sith title “Darth Vader” from Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious). Luke Skywalker is his son, Darth Sidious is his Sith master, and Obi‑Wan Kenobi is his former mentor—hence why those are incorrect.

Context: Born on Tatooine as a slave, he rose from podracing prodigy to Republic hero during the Clone Wars. Consumed by fear of loss and manipulated by Sidious, he turned against the Jedi. Decades later, he found redemption by saving his son and destroying Sidious, ultimately fulfilling the prophecy to bring balance to the Force.
