**Andakin Skywalker** was a Force-sensitive human male who served the Galactic Republic as a Jedi Knight, and later the Galactic Empire as the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Believed to have been conceived by the Force, he was born to **Shmi Skywalker** and moved to the Outer Rim world of Tatooine at a young age, where he and his mother were slaves. They both belonged to a Toydarian junk dealer named **Watto**. At a young age, **Skywalker** was discovered by **Qui-Gon Jinn** and **Obi Wan Kenobi**, who freed **Andakin** from slavery and brought the boy into their community; hailing Skywalker as the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy, destined to defeat the Sith and bring balance to the Force.

In the years leading up to the devastating, galaxy-wide conflict known as the Clone Wars, **Skywalker** was apprenticed to **Obi-Wan Kenobi**. Following the events of the **Battle of Geonosis**, the opening salvo which sparked the Clone War.

**Skywalker** secretly married his childhood love, **Senator Padmira Azridala**. As the war progressed, **Skywalker** saw very little of **Amidala**, prizing the moments the two were able to share with one another. Early in the course of the war, **the Jedi High Council** assigned **Skywalker** a **Padawan** of his own, **Ahsoka Tano**; a gifted student who, much to Skywalker's chagrin, eventually left the Order.

Towards the end of the war, **Skywalker** was blessed with the news of pending fatherhood, when **Amidala** announced she was carrying their first child. But this joy turned to an overwhelming sorrow, as **Skywalker** became plagued with visions of his wife's demise in childbirth. **Andakin's** desire to protect the ones he loved would drive him to the dark side of the Force. In a misguided attempt at saving the life of his wife and unborn child, **Skywalker** betrayed the Jedi, pledging himself to the teachings of his former confidant and friend, **Supreme Chancellor Palpatine** (secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious), thus becoming the Sith Lord Darth Vader. **Palpatine** shortly thereafter ended the war, destroyed the Jedi Order, and declared himself **Galactic Emperor**.

On **Mustafar**, **Darth Vader** turned against his former master, **Kenobi**, and his wife, **Amidala**, when the two refused to join him. He caused the latter's death, and dueled the former. Ultimately, **Kenobi** emerged the victor, and he was left limbless and burnt on the banks of a volcanic river. Forced to live in a life-supporting armored suit afterwards, he continued to serve **Sidious** as his apprentice and chief enforcer, putting down rebellions with his master and **Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin**. He also trained the **Inquisitorius** to hunt down any remaining Jedi and retrieve any newborn Force-sensitives per his master's will.

Almost two decades after his turn to the dark side, the various rebel groups who opposed the Empire's tyranny had united to form the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and destroyed the **Death Star**, the superweapon meant to cement the Emperor's rule over the galaxy. As the sole survivor of the Empire's greatest defeat, **Vader** was blamed and found himself pitted against several potential replacements vying to become the Emperor's new apprentice. In the meantime, he uncovered that the Force-sensitive pilot who destroyed the Death Star was his son, **Luke**, whom **Amidala** had given birth to before she passed away and **Obi-Wan** had hidden on the one planet he would never return to, **Tatooine**.

Now aware the **Emperor** lied to him, Vader drew out **Luke**, attempting to sway him into joining him and overthrowing his master: **Luke** refused, unable to accept the truth. But as the **Battle of Endor** unfolded, **Vader** fought **Skywalker** in a final duel on the **Death Star II**, his son now a **Jedi Knight** set on turning him to the **light side**. **Skywalker** defeated his father but refused to kill him, and when **Sidious** attempted to kill the young man, **Vader** abandoned the dark side and sacrificed himself to destroy the Emperor, fulfilling the prophecy of the Chosen One. Mortally wounded, **Andakin** made peace with his son and became one with the Force.

Before he died, **Vader** learned he also had a daughter, **Leia Organa**. She subsequently married the smuggler **Han Solo** and had a son named **Ben Solo**. **Ben** became obsessed with his grandfather and also turned to the dark side, becoming **Kylo Ren**, master of the Knights of Ren, and apprentice to **Snoke**, the Supreme Leader of the Empire's successor, the First Order.
