History
Anakin Skywalker was born a slave on the desert planet of Tatooine until he was rescued by the Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, who was convinced that Anakin was the Chosen One for the Jedi Order. Under the tutelage of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin would rise to become a legendary Jedi Knight trained in the Force, becoming known across the galaxy for his skills. He would fall in love and form a relationship with Padmé Amidala, but after receiving a vision of her dying, he was tempted into the dark side of the Force by Senate Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.
Upon hearing from Sidious about the possibility to save Padmé, Anakin betrayed the Jedi who had once been his allies and took an apprenticeship under the Sith Lord. He led Order 66, killing all his Jedi brethren, until he was confronted by Obi-Wan at Mustafar. After a long and brutal battle, Anakin was left brutally defeated and in a near-dead state. His master soon found him, and Sidious restored him as an imposing machine of death. In time, the Republic the Jedi once served fell way to the Galactic Empire, and Anakin served as its emissary, an imposing threat that would leave a dark legacy. One thing was certain. On that fateful day, Anakin Skywalker died, and a new Sith Lord was born: Darth Vader.
