Character
Anakin Skywalker
Star Wars·Jedi·fictional character from Star Wars
Anakin Skywalker was a Force-sensitive human male Jedi Knight of the Galactic Republic, regarded within the Jedi Order as the prophesied Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force. Born into slavery on Tatooine in 41 BBY and discovered by Qui-Gon Jinn during the Invasion of Naboo, he was trained as the Padawan of Obi-Wan Kenobi and earned the moniker "Hero With No Fear" for his exploits during the Clone Wars.
Serving as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic, Skywalker commanded the elite 501st Legion and took Ahsoka Tano as his own apprentice, while maintaining a secret marriage to Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo. His turn to the dark side of the Force and pledge of allegiance to the Sith Lord Darth Sidious gave rise to his alter ego, Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.
