As a child, Anakin was kind, caring, selfless and thoughtful; for example, he willingly risk his own life in a podrace; in order to help Qui-Gon Jinn and his friends to get the prize money that; they needed; despite the fact that; he barely knew them at the time.

Anakin was highly intelligent and observant; even for someone of his age; for example; when he saw Qui-Gon's lightsaber, he instantly realized that; the latter was a jedi, not an outlander; who he had (initially) believed him to be; due to the fact that; lightsabers are the only types of weapons in existence that; are used; by the members of the Jedi Order.

As a teenager, Anakin was extremely lazy and laid-back; for example, he did not take his jedi training seriously very; but as he got older and matured, his lazy and laid-back traits lessened overtime.

As an adult, Anakin was still kind, caring, selfless and thoughtful; but he had also developed a more headstrong, prideful, rebellious and righteous demeanour.

Unlike Anakin's best friend and former mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi; he never (blindly) follows rules and orders; without question, he always trying to do what was right; even if it means breaking rules or disobeying orders; similar to Qui-Gon.

Anakin was highly intelligent, observant and wise; even; by someone of human standards; for example, unlike most other members of the Jedi High Council; he was never short-sighted, as he recognized the flaws in the jedi code and teachings; when it came to the principles that; all jedi in general were supposed to embody. He often felt that; he needed to speak out against the jedi code and teachings; despite the consequences that; come; with questioning the jedi.

Although Anakin was prideful; but unlike most other members of the jedi council; he was not only capable of acknowledging and learning from his mistakes; but Anakin was also capable of apologize and admit; when he was wrong.

### As a Sith

After Anakin had embraced his inner darkness, his personality changed almost completely; he become far more aggressive, brutal, cruel, cold, ruthless and violent; for example; during the massacre of the Coruscant Jedi Temple, he had killed several Jedi; who were still children; despite the fact that; they were (obviously) no threat to the Galactic Empire.

But after Anakin had killed all the other leaders of the separatists in cold-blood, he felt tremendous guilt, shame and remorse for his ruthless and violent actions; proved that; Anakin still had a sense of honour, justice and morals, therefore; there were still some traces of his old personality that; was left inside of him.

Anakin become far more hostile, hot-headed, impatient, impulsive, reckless and short-tempered; to the point that; these traits could sometimes cloud his judgment; for example; even after Obi-Wan Kenobi had the high ground, he still (impulsively/recklessly) jump after him; which had led to his first downfall at the hands of Obi-Wan, as well as being burned alive on the planet, Mustafar; due to the fact that; Anakin was blinded; by his rage at the time.

But after Anakin had survived being burned alive and forced to become a cyborg, he had gained much better control over his emotions, as well as the fact that; his impulsive and reckless traits have also completely disappeared.

Anakin become extremely arrogant and overconfident; to the point of underestimating his opponent(s); for example; when he had come face-to-face; with his ex-best friend and former mentor, Obi-Wan for the first time in 10 years, after their last confrontation, he had underestimated the latter; due to the fact that; Anakin was completely aware of the fact that; both Obi-Wan's connection to the force was greatly severed and his lightsaber combat skills were rusty at the time; but after being bested for the second time at the hands of Obi-Wan, he was no longer as arrogant and overconfident as he previously was. Although Anakin still maintained confidence in himself; but it was never came; to the point of being arrogant or overconfident.

Unlike most other members of the Sith Order; Anakin was not only capable of acknowledging his mistakes; but he was also capable of learning from them as well; for example, in his third/final confrontation against his son, Luke Skywalker; when Luke had the high ground, he did not attempt to jump after him, as he knew full-well that; it would have be foolish; proving that; Anakin had learned from the mistake that; he had; made in his first confrontation against Obi-Wan.

Despite these negative traits of Anakin's, there was still some traces of goodness that; was left inside of him; for example, upon discovering the existence of his son, Luke, Anakin became emotionally conflicted, unsure; whether or not to continue serving his master, Sheev Palpatine or overthrow him; with his son, he also displayed a sense of compassion for Luke, revealing that; he still had love for his family. This love ultimately led to Anakin's redemption.
