Darth Vader life story. Darth Vader Star Wars - Darth Vader Star wars
Good day to all self-respecting readers of the site!
Today I would like to puzzle you with a survey that, perhaps, will not dispel the darkness of secrecy on this issue, but will at least give us all food for thought and express the public opinion of the GRU.
So, recently, while watching Star Wars films and reading articles on their world, this very question came to my mind: after all, who was the father of our “darling” Anakin Anicea, also later known as Darth Vader.
To begin with, I propose to take a look at how Anakin was seen by us as the plot developed:

Qui-Gon: He has an unusually large flow of Power.
Qui-Gon: Who is his father?
Anakin's mother: He doesn't have a father.
Anakin's mother: I carried him, I gave birth to him, I raised him.
Anakin's mother: I can't explain everything.
Thus, in fact, here the first, most canonical version of Anakin’s origin is born - he did not have a father, and he himself is a creation midichlorian. And it is not surprising that it takes place. The Jedi had long been waiting for the Chosen One (though for some time, while the Sith were considered destroyed, this prophecy was considered fulfilled), who was supposed to bring balance to the Force.
True, there are suspicions that if these midichlorians did this of their own free will, then perhaps they were midichlorians of the dark side. =)

Midichlorians, that's what they are. ;)
Anyway, midichlorians is our number one candidate for paternity.
Now, if we think a little more, we can assume that midichlorians they didn’t do it arbitrarily (well, after all, why do they need it?), but they were controlled by someone’s will. Moreover, this “someone” clearly had something to do with Strength and knew how to use it (otherwise how would he/she know about midichlorians?).
Let's welcome our number 2 paternity candidate: Darth Plagueis.

Darth Plagueis the Wise (Darth Sidious's teacher)
This Sith lord was, according to Darth Sidious, so powerful that he could control midi-chlorians to create life. So he could very well participate in Anakin's consciousness. (Moreover, many fans of the series adhere to this version. Although, I have not yet found a 100% reliable source that would describe that Plagueis created Anakin)
As an alternative to the first two candidates, I propose to take Darth Sidious, who managed to be the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and the first emperor of the Galactic Empire. After all, it was he who taught Anakin, had such influence on him, and told him about Plagueis and his powers. Perhaps he himself was either the father or the creator of Anakin?

Candidate number 4 is Qui-Gon Jinn. He took the boy from Tatooine. What if he found it there for a reason? ;) Although, of course, there is no direct reason to believe that he is Anakin’s father, his unexpected concern for the slave boy still raises questions.
In this article you will learn:
Anakin Skywalker- Jedi of the human race. Anakin's original story is perhaps the most complete, as he appears in most of the Star Wars films and cartoons.
Christensen as Anakin Birth and childhood
The hero's mother was Shmi Skywalker from the planet Tatooine. He didn’t know his father, but there are rumors that he was a Sith who could control midi-chlorians. Since this has not been confirmed, it is believed that the boy was conceived artificially.
He was born in 42 BBY on the desert planet Tatooine, but Anakin himself assumed that he only grew up on the arid planet, where he arrived at the age of about three years.
Ani grew up as a blue-eyed, kind-hearted, hard-working boy who dreamed of one day becoming a star pilot. But his dreams were not destined to come true, since the Skywalkers were property, slaves of Gardulla the Hutt.
After several years of working for Gardulla, he lost his family in a race to a Toydarian, a parts dealer named Watto, and the Skywalkers found a new owner.
At the age of eight, Anakin first learned about the Sith. An old Republican pilot told him about the great wars of the past, who believed that in those wars not all the Sith died and only one managed to survive.
The hero was a very gifted child. He was very successful in mathematics and technology. At such a young age, Eni could put together anything. So he assembled his own car and robot , having finished work around the age of nine.
Hidden threat
In the 1999 film The Phantom Menace, we first meet a boy played by actor Jake Lloyd.
In 32 BBY, when the hero was only 10 years old, his life changed dramatically. Knowledge of technology and good nature allowed Ani to meet space travelers: a Jedi, a Gungan, R2-D2 and a girl, whom he mistook for an “angel.”
Anakin invited his new friends to his home to wait out the sandstorm, where he learned their true purpose for arriving on Tatooine - to escape from the Trade Federation to the Senate on Coruscant in order to stop the invasion of Naboo. The travelers' hyperdrive was broken and Eni volunteered to help, revealing a desire to participate in the Bunta Yves Classic race in order to win enough money to buy it. The mother could not refuse her son’s desire to help.
Anakin, Shmi and Amidala Qui-Gon Jinn saw Skywalker's potential, his lightning-fast reactions, and upon checking, he was surprised to learn that his midichlarian level was higher than that of himself. Anakin, in turn, was very eager to become a Jedi in order to help everyone, which gave Qui-Gon the idea to free the boy.
Before the race, the Genie made a bet with the owner of the Skywalkers. But subject to Anakin's victory, Watto agreed to release only the boy, leaving his mother with him.
The hero won this race. Now he was free. Anakin was faced with a choice: live on Tatooine with his mother or go with the Jinn and become a Jedi. Skywalker left Tatooine, promising that he would return to free his mother.
Jake Lloyd as little Anakin So Anakin went on his first journey.
With Qui-Gon and Queen Amidala (the girl pretended to be her own servant), to whom Ani became very attached, he arrived on Coruscant, where he appeared before the High Council. The Council refused to train the boy, although Qui-Gon was convinced that Anakin was the Chosen One (the One who would bring balance to the Force).
The boy was experiencing emotions left over from life as a slave, so the masters believed that he would not be able to achieve the state of peace that a true Jedi needs.
Qui-Gon, Anakin, Obi-Wan and R2-D2 Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear breeds anger; Anger breeds hatred; Hatred is the key to suffering. I strong fear I feel it in you.
Not knowing where to go now, Anakin tagged along with Jinn, with whom he flew to Naboo, with a mission to liberate the planet from occupation by the Trade Federation.
By chance, Anakin took a direct part in the Battle of Naboo in space. He single-handedly managed to destroy an entire orbital station, who controlled the droids on the planet, ending the invasion.
Although Skywalker emerged victorious, sad news awaited him on earth. In a battle with, Kawai-Gon died. The dying Jinn made Obi-Wan Kenobi, his student, promise to train the boy and the Council accepted that Anakin would learn the Force.
After the victory on Naboo, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic himself promised to monitor Skywalker's progress.
Obi-Wan's Apprentice
Eni’s innate abilities instantly placed him above his peers, which began to feed his pride. He often showed off, spoke out against the opinions of his elders, and did not show much respect for Obi-Wan, whom he looked down on somewhat.
Obi-Wan became more than just a teacher to Anakin, he was like a father to him. Secretly, Skywalker believed that his strength was many times greater than that of his teacher and Kenobi was holding him back. This fact made their relationship confusing and contradictory.
When Anakin didn’t get along with Kenobi, he went to his “friend” Palpatine, who stroked the Jedi’s pride with praise.
In 28 BBY, Anakin created his first lightsaber in the caves of Ilum..
Attack of the Clones
"Attack of the Clones" is the second film in which we see Anakin. Its events take place 10 years after the end of the plot of the first part. In this film, the grown-up Anakin is played by actor Hayden Christensen.
Skywalker and Kenobi In 22 BBY, Padmé Amidala, who was now a senator from the Chommell sector, was assassinated. Anakin, who had not seen Padmé for ten years, was appointed her personal protector. For ten years, Skywalker did not stop thinking about Amidala, and now that he was with her, his attraction grew into love.
On Naboo, where Padmé was hiding with her protector, she agreed to him, kissing him for the first time. Amidala was more prudent than Skywalker because she thought about the consequences. Anakin, on the other hand, was focused on feelings, breaking the tradition of the Order to be attached only to the Force.
For a long time, Anakin suffered from nightmares in which he saw his mother. A new nightmare he saw on Naboo forced him to violate his orders to protect Amidala, taking her with him to Tatooine to find Shmi. On Tatooine, the hero learned that his mother was freed by the farmer Cligg Lars, who married her. At the Lars farm, Ani was told that Shmi had been kidnapped by Tusken raiders, so the hero immediately rushed to find her.
Skywalker mural Using his instincts, Anakin found Shmi, but it was already too late. His mother died in his arms. This death caused such anger that the Jedi massacred the entire raider tribe, including women and children. Even Yoda felt Skywalker's pain and anger.
With the death of his mother, the Jedi had a terrible desire to gain such power with which he could save people from death.
Padmé: « There are things that cannot be fixed, you are not omnipotent, Anakin.»
Anakin: « There should be! One day I will... I will become the most powerful Jedi! I promise you. I will learn to make sure people don't die!»
Arriving on Tatooine, Anakin learned that his teacher had been captured by the Confederacy on Geonosis. Skywalker's goal was to protect Amidala, but she persuaded the Jedi to go to rescue Kenobi. Ani left Tatooine taking his droid C-3PO with him.
Arriving at Geonosis, the couple was captured and exhibited, along with the previously captured Obi-Wan, in the gladiator arena. Faced with the threat of death, Anakin and Padmé confessed their love to each other. The trio was saved from certain death by the arrival of the Jedi and the clone army.
Leaving Amidala, Ani and his teacher began to pursue the leader of the Confederation and a former Jedi (note: Qui-Gon Jinn's teacher). Skywalker lost his arm in the battle with him and almost died if Yoda didn’t come to the rescue.
Dooku cuts off Anakin's hand Anakin was implanted mechanical arm and while he was in the Temple for treatment, Yoda and Kenobi tried to convince Amidala to end her relationship with him. Padmé lied and she and Skywalker soon married. The secret wedding ceremony took place in Varikino on Naboo. The only witnesses were the droids C-3PO and R2-D2.
Clone War
This war made Anakin a legend. He became renowned as a top fighter pilot, earning the rare title of Thane.
During the war, Skywalker was not concerned about his own life, as he was concerned about the health of his teacher, Palpatine, the soldiers who acted under his leadership, and even the astro droid R2-D2. The Jedi broke more and more rules. He increasingly feared for Padmé's life.
Anakin vs Ventress On a mission on the planet Naboo, Skywalker met Asajj Ventress, a Dark Jedi who became a fierce enemy of both Anakin and Kenobi.
During the war, Obi-Wan took in Padawan Halaged Ventor for training, with whom Anakin became very close friends.
The Clone War was a terrible event in the life of a Jedi. During the battles on the planet Jabiim, Skywalker received a message about the alleged death of his teacher. This made the hero more reckless. He rushed into the thick of things along with clones, padawans and Jedi. When Palpatine wanted to evacuate Anakin from the planet, he agreed, soon learning that everyone he fought with had died.
For his heroic actions in the war, Anakin was declared a Jedi Knight. Skywalker sent the Padawan's cut off braid to his wife as a sign of love.
Arriving on Coruscant, Anakin wanted to meet his wife, but fell into the trap of Asajj Ventress. The Dark Jedi promised to kill Amidala, which once again sent Skywalker into a rage. In this duel, the hero received his famous scar above his right eye. He emerged victorious, but Ventress managed to survive.
Anakin continued to participate in battles for the Republic. While fighting on the planet Christophis, his first student was assigned to the Jedi. After the victory on Christophis, Anakin, although reluctantly, accepted the Padawan.
Anakin and Ahsoka Together with Ahsoka, Ani completed quite a few missions. Together, they saved Jabba's son, participated in the mission to liberate the planet Kyros, saved the Jedi Master Plo Koon,
Although Anakin and Ahsoka became friends, Tano left the Jedi.
In the Battle of Coruscant, when the Confederacy invaded, the Republic managed to win, but Chancellor Palpatine was captured.
Revenge of the Sith
Skywalker and Kenobi went to save the chancellor. After finding Palpatine, the Jedi engaged Count Dooku in battle. The Count was still strong, so he quickly knocked out Kenobi, crossing swords with Anakin. War-hardened Skywalker suddenly won, cutting off both of the Sith's hands.
After Palpatine ordered Dooku to be killed, the Jedi beheaded him, taking another step towards darkness. When the Chancellor tried to persuade him to leave Kenobi, Anakin refused.
Returning to Coruscant, the hero learned the news that his wife was pregnant. After this, Anakin increasingly began to be tormented by visions where he saw the death of Amidala. Because of them, the Jedi wanted to gain access to the forbidden holocrons of the masters of the past. This was facilitated by Palpatine, who appointed Skywalker as his representative on the Jedi Council. This meant that Eni was supposed to become a master, but his rank was still not raised.
The final point in the distrust of the Council was when the Jedi asked Anakin to keep an eye on his friend Palpatine.
The Jedi turned to Yoda for help. He spoke of his prophetic visions of someone close to him dying, but did not reveal his identity. Yoda advised him to learn to let go of everything he was afraid of losing. Skywalker was not satisfied with this answer.
Despite the Council's warnings, Anakin continued to spend time with Palpatine, who began to develop a dark side within him. The Chancellor told the story of Darth Plagueis (his teacher) who had the power over death. This story made Anakin think that the dark side could save Padme's life.
When Palpatine revealed his identity as Darth Sidious, Lord of the Sith, offering Skywalker the path of the dark side to save his beloved, Anakin refused, reporting everything.
Windu, along with Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto, were supposed to arrest the Sith when Anakin was supposed to remain in the Temple. But, naturally, he did not listen. Tormented by thoughts of Amidala's death, Skywalker followed the Jedi. Arriving at the chancellor, the hero discovered Windu, who was about to kill Palpatine. The fear of losing Padme overpowered Anakin when he cut off the master's hand and allowed Palpatine to win.
It was already too late to repent; there was no turning back. Palpatine explained this as the purpose of a Jedi and suggested joining the dark side. The Sith Lord promised to reveal the secret of power over death, so Skywalker agreed to become Darth Sidious's student in order to save Amidala's life.
So, Anakin Skywalker “died”, becoming legendary.

Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker
The main character, who is probably known to anyone who can theoretically read this article, is Darth Vader, the Sith Lord and the watchdog of the supreme villain of the Empire.
His enormous significance in the world of Star Wars is determined primarily by the fact that he played a key role both in the first episodes of the epic and in subsequent ones. In his childhood and adolescence, before turning to the dark side, his name was Anakin Skywalker, and great hopes were placed on him: the boy was considered the chosen one, capable of restoring the balance of power and destroying the Sith. Despite his low origins, Anakin managed to become one of the strongest Jedi and achieve great influence both in the Order and in politics.
However, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine, managed to play on his feelings for his beloved, and tricked him into switching to the dark side. Where Anakin, or rather Vader, achieved even more - he became the commander-in-chief of the troops and the second man in the Empire after the Emperor himself.
Darth Skywalker took part in the main battles of the epic. He fought twice with his Jedi master Obi Wan Kenobi, with the Sith Lord Count Dooku and with his own son Luke Skywalker. It was he who played a key role in the formation of the Empire, and then he destroyed it.
Featured Quote:"I am your father!"
Master Yoda
A seemingly tiny green creature, but in fact the Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Yoda trained the most powerful knights in the saga, including Luke Skywalker, Dooku, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Kit Fisto and Mace Windu. And he himself was the strongest and wisest Jedi of his time. He fought Count Dooku, his past student, and Darth Sidious, the dark lord of the Sith. Without Yoda's wisdom, the Empire would not have been defeated.
And also, without it, we wouldn’t have learned to speak by rearranging words in a funny way in a sentence.
Featured Quote: “Ready, then? What do you know about that? He taught the Jedi for eight hundred years. I will decide for myself who to take for training.”
Palpatine/Darth Sidious
The most insidious character in the Star Wars saga is the Dark Lord of the Sith. He for a long time was a senator, was friends with the main characters and successfully pretended to be a friend of the Republic, which did not stop him from weaving vile intrigues against his own « friends » . It was he who managed to transfer Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, it was he who managed to destroy the Republic, and it was he who became the victim of his own atrocities. Killed (?) by his student - Darth Vader.
Featured Quote: “We stand on the threshold of a new world. For security and stability, the Republic will be transformed into the first Galactic Empire, a society of security and reliability that will exist for ten thousand years. An empire that will be governed by this majestic assembly and a sovereign ruler elected for life.”
Padme Amidala
Queen of the planet Naboo, senator of the Galactic Senate, wife of Anakin Skywalker, mother of Luke and Princess Leia. Despite her seemingly minor role, she influenced many events in the film. If the Jedi had not saved the queen, they would never have met the unusual slave boy from Tatooine, who later became Darth Vader; If Anakin had not fallen in love with Padme, he would not have fallen to the dark side; If Padme had not given birth to two talented children - Luke and Leia - the Empire would not have been defeated!
Featured Quote: “Obi-Wan... There's still good in him... I know. It’s in him..."
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Teacher of Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker. It was Obi-Wan who, in the first battle with Anakin, cut off both his legs and an arm and burned him with lava. After this battle, Darth Vader was forced to put on a mask and a life support suit. Years later, Obi-Wan Kenobi, in his second battle with Darth Vader, for some reason stopped fighting, raised his sword, and as a result was defeated by his former student.
Featured Quote: “You were the chosen one! They predicted that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! You will restore the balance of the Force, and not plunge it into darkness!”
Luke Skywalker
Son of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé. A key character in the war with the Empire, a student of Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. With the help of nobility and kindness, he managed to convince his father, Darth Vader, to once again turn to the light side and become a Jedi. He was equally good with the sword and the word, so he became famous as a talented warrior, a good speaker and a loyal friend.
Featured Quote: "I am a Jedi, just like my father."

In 2017, the producers of Star Wars celebrated their anniversary - it was exactly 40 years since TV viewers became acquainted with the fate of Anakin Skywalker.
Story
Darth Vader, whose real name is Anakin Skywalker, is a character in the Star Wars franchise. Darth appears in the film as the main negative character, through whose fault the conspiracy occurred, and the hero's past in the form of Anakin Skywalker and the history of apostasy play a major role in the prequel narrative.
The character was developed by an American film director and brought to life on screen by several actors. He appears in six Star Wars episodes, including Rogue One. A Star Wars Story and is mentioned in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Vader performs actor in the universe of the television series "Star Wars", video games, literary works and comics.
Originally prophesied by a Jedi, Anakin Skywalker embraced the dark side and became a servant of the negative Galactic Empire to bring balance to the Force. Vader became the father of Luke Skywalker and his twin sister Leia, the secret husband of Padmé and the grandfather of Kylo Ren.
George Lucas, Darth Vader's "father" Darth Vader has become one of the most badass villains in popular culture and is even included in the list of the greatest fictional villains. According to the American Film Institute, Darth Vader took third place in the ranking of the greatest villains in the history of the film industry over the last 100 years out of hundreds of scoundrels and scum, losing to leadership positions Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates.

In Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker is strangled by Kenobi and has no control over his life. When he transforms into Darth Vader, every negative action he takes destroys any hope or connection to his former life, making the path to the light more difficult.
Then Vader is forced to put on a suit designed specifically for him. The main element of the costume is extremely complex mechanism, providing breathing - it determined a specific sound when the hero enters and exhales. Vader never appeared on screen without his special mask.

Movies
In the first Star Wars series, the tall, dark Vader is already close to his final image, and main character Anakin Skywalker was reminiscent of Luke Skywalker, who appeared in later series.
Following the success of the first Star Wars, released in 1977, director Lucas Jr. hired science fiction author Lee Douglas Brackett to collaborate on the script for the subsequent installments. At the end of 1977, the script for the next part was ready, strongly reminiscent of the last film, except that Vader is introduced not as Luke’s father, but as a teacher.
In the first draft of the script, written by Brackett, Luke's father appears as a ghost, luring the boy to the side of evil. George Lucas didn't like the script, but Brackett died of cancer before the director discussed the comments with her. Having lost his screenwriter, Lucas had to write the next project himself. In the new script, the director used a new plot twist: Vader declares that he is Luke's father.
The new plot twist about Luke's origin had a major impact on the film. Michael Kaminsky (author of a book on the history of the creation of Star Wars with elements of the biography of George Lucas) claims that such a plot twist was not seriously considered or even contemplated until 1978, and the first part of the film was filmed under an alternative plot, where Darth Vader acted a separate character rather than Luke's father.
When writing drafts of the second and third series, in which another story line, Lucas reflected a new backstory that he came up with: Anakin became Kenobi's apprentice, had a son, Luke, but was seduced by the side of evil. Anakin fought Kenobi at the volcano, receiving serious injuries, but was then revived as Darth Vader. Kenobi hid Luke on the fantasy planet Tatooine when the Galactic Republic became the Empire and Vader hunted and destroyed the Jedi. This change in character became the springboard for the development of another plot, “The Tragedy of Darth Vader,” which lies at the heart of the prequel film.
Deciding to create a prequel, Lucas indicated that the series would be tragic, depicting Anakin's transition to the side of evil. He assumed that the prequels would be the beginning of a single story that began with Anakin's childhood and ended with death. This was the final step towards turning the series into a saga.
In the first prequel, George Lucas introduced Anakin as a nine-year-old child to make the hero's separation from his mother seem poignant and painful. Anakin's movie trailers and movie posters showing him casting Vader's shadow hinted at the character's possible fate to unsuspecting viewers. Ultimately, the film achieved its goal of demonstrating Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader.
Michael Kaminsky in " Secret history Star Wars provides evidence that problems with Anakin's turn to evil prompted Lucas to make major changes to the story, first by revising the original third prequel sequence so that Anakin would destroy Count Dooku as the first step toward turning evil.
After completing the main work in 2003, Lucas again made changes to Anakin's character, rewriting his transition to the dark side: Anakin's transition from grace to the Dark Side is now driven by a desire to save his wife Padmé, whereas in the previous version this was one of several reasons, including that Anakin believed the Jedi were planning to take over the Republic. These fundamental adjustments were made by editing basic footage and adding new scenes filmed during the 2004 pickups.
Darth Vader is first introduced in Star Wars as a ruthless cyborg serving the Galactic Empire. He is tasked with Tarkin to restore classified technical projects Death Stars stolen by the rebels. Vader captures and tortures Leia, who hid the plans inside the droid and sent it to find Kenobi. By placing a tracking device aboard the Millennium Falcon, Vader is able to track the Rebel base. During the Jedi attack on the Death Star, Vader attempts to shoot down Luke, but Han Solo intervenes, giving Luke the opportunity to destroy the Death Star.
David Prowse played Darth Vader in the first three installments of the Star Wars saga. In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader becomes obsessed with finding Luke. In a conversation with the Emperor, Vader convinces him that Luke can be lured to the dark side. Vader lures his son into a trap and wins the duel, tearing off his arm. Vader tells Luke that he is his father and asks for his help in overthrowing the Emperor so they can rule the galaxy together. Horrified, Luke runs away, and Vader telepathically tells his son that it is his destiny to turn to the dark side.
In the next part, Vader and the Emperor oversee the creation of a new Death Star. Vader brings Luke before the Emperor and threatens to lure Leia (Luke's sister) to the side of evil if Luke does not comply. In a fit of anger, Luke defeats Vader and rips off his father's robotic arm. The Emperor orders Luke to kill his father and take his place. Luke refuses, and the Emperor tortures him with the power of lightning. Hearing Luke's pleas for help, Vader kills the Emperor; but he himself is mortally wounded.
After asking Luke to remove his mask, a redeemed Anakin Skywalker tells his son that he is fine before he dies. Luke escapes the Death Star with his father's remains and ceremoniously burns them in a pyre, Anakin's spirit rejoins the spirit of Obi-Wan and Yoda to watch over Luke and his friends as the Rebels celebrate the destruction of the Death Star and the fall of the Empire.
Lucas then directed a prequel trilogy that explored the backstory and character of Darth Vader. Anakin first appears in the Prequel Trilogy in Episode I, which took place 32 years before the original Star Wars. The young slave Anakin lives on the planet Tatooine with his mother Shmi. Anakin was born without a father and has the ability to foresee the future. In addition, the young man is a talented pilot and mechanic who built his own droid C-3PO. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn meets Anakin after an emergency landing on Tatooine.
Qui-Gon senses Anakin's strong connection to the Force and becomes convinced that the boy is the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy, who will bring balance to the Force. Then Anakin is forced to leave Shmi and go to study with the Jedi. During the journey, Anakin falls in love with Padme, the young queen of Naboo. Qui-Gon asks the Jedi Council for permission to train Anakin, but they sense fear in the boy and refuse. Ultimately, Anakin helps prevent the Trade Federation from invading Naboo. After Qui-Gon is killed in battle with the Sith spirit, Obi-Wan promises to train Anakin.
In Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, Anakin becomes Obi-Wan's apprentice. Anakin goes on a journey with Padme to Naboo. But feeling the pain of Shmi's mother, Anakin goes to Tatooine to save her, but is too late. Anakin, enraged, kills the Tuskens responsible for his mother's death and returns to Lars's estate to bury Shmi. By the end of the film, Anakin, who lost his arm in the battle with Count Dooku, is equipped with a robotic arm and secretly marries Padmé.
In Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Anakin becomes a Jedi Knight and hero of the Clone Wars. He and Obi-Wan led a mission to rescue Palpatine from Separatist commander General Grievous aboard their ship. When the Jedi confronts Dooku, Anakin defeats the Sith Lord and, following Palpatine's persuasion, kills him in cold blood. They rescue Palpatine and return to Coruscant, where Anakin learns that Padmé is pregnant. Anakin has a vision of Padmé dying during childbirth and tries to prevent it.
Palpatine tells Anakin that the dark side has the power to cheat death and eventually reveals that he is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Although Anakin informs Jedi Windu of Palpatine's betrayal, he follows Windu to ensure that Palpatine is alive. When he realizes that Windu wants to kill Palpatine, Anakin intervenes, allowing Palpatine to kill Windu.
Desperate to save Padmé, Anakin turned to the side of evil and became Palpatine's apprentice, Darth Vader. Under Palpatine's orders, Vader is to kill all the Jedi and Separatist leaders who are hiding on the planet Mustafar. Padmé confronts Vader and begs him to return to the side of good, but Vader refuses. When Obi-Wan disembarks from Padmé's ship, Vader accuses his wife of plotting and uses the Force to strangle her into unconsciousness and rage.
After fierce battle Obi-Wan defeats Vader, damaging his legs and arm, and leaves his body on the banks of a lava river, where he burns. Palpatine finds Vader and brings him back to Coruscant, where his mutilated body is healed and covered in the black armored suit first seen in the original trilogy. When Vader asks about Padmé's whereabouts, Palpatine explains to him that he killed Padmé in anger; Vader screams in agony, his spirit broken.
- Eric Buie, a psychiatrist at the University Hospital of Toulouse, argued that the American Psychiatric Association's convention describes Anakin's personality as having six diagnostic features of borderline personality disorder, which constitutes grounds for diagnosis. Bui claims that Anakin Skywalker is useful example to demonstrate borderline personality disorder to students.
- Anakin's origins in The Phantom Menace are compared to African-American identity, and his dissatisfaction with life to Siddhartha before he became Gautama Buddha.
- In 2015, the statue of Vladimir Lenin in Odessa was remade into Darth Vader due to the decommunization law.
