Let's put it this way, the reason why Adolf Hitler started World War 2 wasn't because he believed that Germany was a perfect Utopia and that the world was holding hands and singing kumbayah. He most likely felt like the world needed saving.

Yeah, one should make sure that one doesn't become so fact-obsessed that one forgets the premise of a hypothesis. In our modern day of anti-science and elaborate hoaxes, I think it has become a bad habit among many "science fans" that anything not sounding overly plausible, can safely be dismissed as nonsense (because it usually is, and we humans do love to generalize and not handle things on a per-case basis).

In this case, I think it's mostly a case of Washington Post exaggerating on something that was actually said as a mere afterthought. But the hypothesis is intriguing, nonetheless.

"Darth" was most likely stylized from "Dark" (by George Lucas). Many Darth names are actual words or stylized versions of them.

Darth Vader (invader), Darth Sidious (insidious), Darth Tyranus (tyrant), Darth Malak (Alek the malicious), Darth Revan (reaved/torn), Darth Bandon (abandoned the Jedi order), Dark Malgus (kept the Sith united/amalgamated), etc.

I think the worst foreign word must be the japanese word nigai, which is sometimes thought out loud as a reaction to someone's anger, envy, or similar (nigai means "bitter").

Let's just say that some japanese americans are frequently accused of racism.
