The character of Darth Vader was not originally planned to be a suited cyborg. The current image of the character was created when concept artist Ralph McQuarrie drew the opening scene where Vader and his stormtroopers board a Rebel ship. It was initially imagined that Darth Vader would fly through space to enter the ship, necessitating a suit and breathing mask. This was later made permanent and incorporated in the story.

The iconic breathing sound of his respirator was created by sound designer Ben Burtt, who created the sound by simply recording himself breathing into an old Dacor scuba regulator. Vader's musical leitmotif is "The Imperial March".
In a 2005 interview, Lucas was asked the origins of the name "Darth Vader", and replied: "Darth is a contraction of Dark Lord of the Sith. And Vader is a variation of father.

Rinzler's 2007 book, The Making of Star Wars, a vintage quote from Lucas states that the name came "out of thin air", and may have been a corruption of "dark water". In draft scripts for Star Wars, the name "Darth Vader" was given to a human Imperial general who assists a Sith lord named "Prince Valorum".
Vader's revelation to Luke that he is his father is one of the most famous movie plot twists of all time. An IMDb poll on 10 November 2003[4] asked users to choose which one of a set of movie spoilers was too infamous to be considered a spoiler anymore; Vader's true identity was a clear winner, by a 40% margin.
Vader is called "Dart Fener" and "Dark Vador" in Italy and France respectively. In a China-produced subtitled DVD version of Episode III known as Star War The Third Episode: The Backstroke of the West, his name was displayed as "Reaching the west reaches". This was translated from "Daxi Weida", a Chinese phonetic rendering of Vader's na

because, his lungs work on a breathing apparatus - similar to what a person in a vegitative state uses to breath. But with the "futuristic" way it is hook up to him, it allows him to breath and talk simultaneously.

Its called circle breathing. Where you can inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. This is also used to bypass the breathalizer test, but not many peple can do it.
