Funeral of Anakin Skywalker

In the aftermath of the Galactic Empire's defeat by the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Battle of Endor, Jedi Knights Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade held a funeral for Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, on the Forest Moon of Endor. During the battle, Anakin, who had been known as Sith Lord Darth Vader, was redeemed by Luke and brought balance to the Force, fulfilling his destiny as the Chosen One. However, the redemption cost Anakin his life, having been mortally wounded by Emperor Palpatine while killing his former Master.
After his death, Anakin became one with the Force. Luke escaped the second Death Star, where Anakin had died, just before the battle station was destroyed by the Rebel Alliance. Once on Endor, Luke built a funeral pyre and lit his father's empty armor on fire. After the funeral ended, Luke and Mara joined the Rebels and the native Ewoks for a victory celebration, where they saw the spirit of Anakin — along with the spirits of Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Qui-Gon Jinn — proudly watching the celebration.
