**Anakin Skywalker** is one of the main protagonists from the *Star Wars* franchise as the main protagonist of the Star Wars prequel trilogy and *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* television series.

As a Sith Lord, Anakin was known as **Darth Vader**, who served as the secondary antagonist of the original *Star Wars* trilogy and one of the main antagonists of *Star Wars Rebels*.

In both Canon and Legends, Anakin is son of Shmi Skywalker, the husband of Padmé Amidala, father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, stepson of Cliegg Lars and stepbrother of Owen Lars and stepbrother-in-law of Beru Lars. In canon, though Leia, he is the grandfather of Kylo Ren, and father in law of Han Solo, and through his marriage to Padmé, son-in-law of Ruwee and Jobal Naberrie, brother-in-law of Sola Naberrie, and the uncle of Ryoo and Pooja Naberrie.

In the Legends, he is both the father-in-law and former colleague of Luke's wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, maternal grandfather of Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo, paternal grandfather of Ben Skywalker, and great-grandfather of Allana Solo. Anakin is also the common ancestor of Ania Solo and Cade Skywalker.

Anakin is the Chosen One, the individual who would bring balance to the Force between the Jedi and the Sith.

## Background

Since Anakin was three years old, he and his mother, Shmi Skywalker lived on the planet Tatooine as slaves to Gardula the Hutt. However, she lost them to the junker, Watto, in a podrace gamble. Anakin worked at Watto's junkyard shop as a mechanic.

At some point, Anakin began building the droid C-3PO in order for him to one day help his mother around the house.
