Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader)

Anakin Skywalker’s destiny and the fate of the entire galaxy are linked inexorably. After being freed by Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin studies the ways of the Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he allows feelings of anger, fear, and hate to enslave him. The death of his mother and visions of Padmé’s death drive him to seek out the wisdom offered by a Sith Lord. In pursuing the power necessary to persevere Padmé’s life, Anakin becomes death incarnate.
      As Darth Vader, he uses the power of the dark side of the Force to betray and murder his fellow Jedi, and enslave the galaxy. Over two decades later, his son Luke—now a Jedi himself—leads Anakin back to the light. He finds redemption in sacrifice, bringing balance to the Force by ending the tyranny of the Emperor and the Sith.

## Rise of the Empire Era

Believed by many to be the Chosen One and foretold by ancient prophecies to bring balance to the Force, Anakin Skywalker is the exception to other Jedi in many ways. He spends most of his childhood away from the Jedi Temple on Tatooine with his mother. Highly stubborn and emotional, he shows arrogance in his abilities as a pilot, with a lightsaber, and with the Force. Unlike other Jedi who display overconfidence in their abilities, Anakin is able to back up his boasts.
      When Obi-Wan Kenobi is tasked with leading Republic troops into battle during the Clone Wars, Anakin serves as his assistant, leading clone starfighter pilots against Separatist forces. His leadership and piloting skills help the clone pilots emerge victorious time and again, even though his recklessness and overconfidence frustrates Obi-Wan.
      Anakin begins to feel the true burden of leadership when he is paired with a strong-minded Padawan named Ahsoka Tano. Only then does he begin to appreciate all that Obi-Wan has tried to teach him.
