Biography[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Anakin was the son of Shmi Skywalker. He originally lived with his mother as a slave on Tatooine, being born a slave. When he was nine, he was enslaved to Watto and worked at Watto's Shop. It was at this shop that he first met Qui-Gon Jinn, Jar Jar Binks, and Padmé Amidala. He won the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, thus winning his freedom through Qui-Gon Jinn's bet with Watto. He participated in the Battle of Naboo, destroying the Droid Control Ship which then deactivated the Trade Federation's ground forces. Several Lego® minifigures were based on his different appearances from the movies.
The Clone Wars[edit | edit source]
At the beginning of the Clone Wars he married Padmé Amidala. He then went on many dangerous missions, such as Yavin 4 and Jabiim. He took on an apprentice named Ahsoka Tano.
Darth Vader[edit | edit source]
At the end of the Clone Wars, he joined the Sith and Darth Sidious became his new master. Sidious named Anakin Darth Vader. Vader's first mission was to destroy the Jedi Order. Only a few Jedi escaped the "Great Jedi Purge". Then Darth Vader killed all the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. Vader then became a feared leader of the Empire taking an apprentice named Galen Marek. Vader then dueled Luke Skywalker on the planet Mimban.
Darth Vader died during the Battle of Endor when he killed the Emperor to save the life of his son, thus redeeming himself.
