skywalkedAnakin was born a slave the planet Tatooine. Anakin is a gifted pilot and mechanic, even as a child, and creates a protocol droid called C-3PO. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn meets him when he makes an emergency landing on Tatooine. After discovering that Anakin's blood has an unusually high number of midi-chlorians, which is a measure of Force potential, Qui-Gon becomes convinced the boy is the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy who will bring balance to the Force. Anakin wins his freedom in a podrace, but is forced to leave his mother behind. Qui-Gon asks the Jedi Council to train Anakin as a Jedi, but the Council are concerned that the boy is vulnerable to the dark side and they decline. During the voyage, Anakin forms a close bond with Padmé Amidala, the young queen of Naboo. During the invasion of Naboo, Anakin helps thwart the Trade Federation's invasion by destroying their command ship. After Qui-Gon is killed in a battle with Sith lord Darth Maul, his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi promises to train Anakin, a proposal the Council reluctantly accepts. Palpatine, the Galactic Republic's newly elected Chancellor, befriends Anakin becoming his confidant.
Anakin spends years with Obi-Wan as his apprentice before, at the age of 17, being assigned by Palpatine to investigate a failed assassination attempt on Padmé. Anakin travels with her to Naboo, where they fall in love. Sensing that Shmi is in pain, Anakin goes to Tatooine, where he learns that she was kidnapped by Tusken Raiders. Finding the Tusken campsite, Anakin locates Shmi, dying from torture at the hands of the Tuskens. She dies in Anakin's arms. Anakin, enraged, massacres the Tuskens in a dissociative episode, returns to the Lars homestead with Shmi's body and tells Padmé what he has done. Soon after, Anakin and Padmé travel to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan from the Sith lord Count Dooku, who leads a movement of planets in seceding from the Republic to form the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, Dooku captures the two and sentences them to death. Anakin and Padmé profess their love for each other before being rescued by an army of clone troopers and Jedi. During the opening salvo of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan and Anakin fight Dooku, but the Sith Lord easily subdues them and Anakin loses his right arm in the process. After he is rescued by Yoda and fitted with a prosthetic arm, Anakin marries Padmé in a secret ceremony.
During the Clone Wars, having been promoted to a Jedi Knight, Anakin, accompanied by Obi-Wan, leads a mission to rescue Palpatine from Count Dooku and Separatist commander General Grievous. A duel ensues in which Dooku gets subdued by Anakin. Although initially hesitant, Anakin kills him on Palpatine's orders. Returning to Coruscant, he meets with Padmé, who reveals that she is pregnant with his child. He is soon troubled by visions of Padmé dying in childbirth. Meanwhile, Palpatine appoints Anakin as his personal representative on the Jedi Council. While they allow him a seat, the Council refuses to grant Anakin the rank of Jedi Master, and instruct him to spy on Palpatine; Anakin begins to lose faith in the Jedi as a result. Palpatine eventually tells Anakin that he is the Sith lord Darth Sidious and that the dark side alone holds the power to save Padmé's life. Anakin reports Palpatine's treachery to Jedi Master Mace Windu, who eventually subdues the Sith Lord. Over Windu's objections, Anakin follows Windu to the Chancellor's office to ensure Palpatine is captured alive. Fearing that he may lose Padmé, Anakin intervenes on Palpatine's behalf, allowing him to kill Windu. Anakin pledges himself to Palpatine, who dubs him Darth Vader.
Palatine dispatches Vader to kill everyone inside the Jedi Temple and then assassinate the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. Later, Padmé travels to Mustafar and asks Vader to flee with her. He says that they can overthrow Palpatine and rule the galaxy, much to Padmé's horror. When Obi-Wan appears from Padmé's ship, however, Vader accuses her of conspiring against him and uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness. This leads to a lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Vader. Vader eventually loses his legs and left arm, and is significantly burned by one of the planet's lava flows. Obi-Wan takes his former apprentice's lightsaber and leaves him for dead.
Sensing that his new apprentice is in danger, Palpatine travels to Mustafar and finds Vader near death. After returning to Coruscant, he rebuilds Vader's ruined body with a black armored suit. Palpatine then tells Vader that Padmé was killed in the heat of Vader's anger, breaking what remains of his apprentice's spirit.
Vader spends 20 years as the Emperor's enforcer before being tasked to recover the secret technical plans of the Death Star, which were stolen by the Rebel Alliance. Princess Leia Organa has secretly hidden the plans inside the Astromech droid R2-D2 and has sent it to find Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on the nearby planet of Tatooine. Vader tortures Leia, but she resists revealing anything. During Leia's rescue, Vader fights and kills Obi-Wan in a lightsaber duel and later attempts to kill Luke when the Death Star is about to fire on the Rebel base in Yavin 4. However, Han Solo sends Vader spiraling off course, allowing Luke to destroy the Death Star.
Vader leads the Imperial starfleet's invasion of the Rebel base on Hoth, whereafter the Rebels escape. He later confers with the Emperor, who tells him that Luke has become a threat to the Empire and must not become a Jedi. Vader persuades the Emperor that Luke can be turned to the dark side of the Force. Vader negotiates with Cloud City administrator Lando Calrissian to capture Han, Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 on Cloud City, and lure Luke into a trap. He tortures Han, freezes him in carbonite and delivers him to bounty hunter Boba Fett, but Calrissian helps Leia, Chewbacca and the droids flee. This leads to a lightsaber duel in which Luke loses his hand. Vader reveals that he is Luke's father, and implores him to come to the dark side so they can to rule the galaxy together. Luke escape.
Traveling to the second Death Star, Vader orders its commander to advance its construction. He meets with the Emperor, who assures him that they will together turn Luke to the dark side. Intending to implore his father to leave the dark side, Luke surrenders to Vader. Vader brings Luke onto the Death Star, where the Emperor tempts Luke to the dark side. This leads to another lightsaber duel between Vader and Luke, in which Vader learns that Leia is Luke's twin sister and threatens to turn her to the dark side if Luke will not submit. Luke subdues Vader, cuts his prosthetic hand off and nearly kills him. The Emperor orders Luke to kill Vader and take his place, but Luke refuses, declaring himself a Jedi. In response, the Emperor attacks Luke with Force lightning. Unwilling to let his son die, Vader kills the Emperor by throwing him down the Death Star's reactor shaft, but is mortally wounded in the process. With his dying breath, the redeemed Anakin Skywalker asks Luke to remove his mask, and tells his son that there was good left in him after all. Luke escapes the Death Star with his father's remains, which he later ceremonially burns in a pyre. As the Rebels celebrate the destruction of the Death Star and the fall of the Empire, Luke sees his father's spirit, standing alongside those of Obi-Wan and Yoda.
Meet Addison Walker
Addison's mother was an angel. To him, she was and always will be perfect. That's partially because he has an idealized memory of her from before he was 8 and saw his ex-step-father beat her to death from the closet where she hid him before his ex-step-father forced his way into the house they moved into after running away from him.
Addison grew up in foster-care. He moved a lot. That's partially because he became far, far too intense about his older foster sisters, falling in 'love' only to feel betrayed and abandoned when they didn't return his regard preferring boys who weren't playing brother and weren't half a decade younger. It was only when Anakin was 14 and set the house on fire though, starting in her room, that he was put into a group home and properly diagnosis-ed with borderline personality disorder.
So he takes medication. Not as much as his doctors would like, but enough to keep him more even. He went to college, got his mechanical engineering degree. He's king of the nerds and he like it that way. He needs it that way. He needs adoration and appreciation and even awe.
And if someone doesn't fall under the thrall of Addison Walker? Well. He doesn't need that kind of negativity in his life. And they soon disappear from it, ostracized by colleagues, reviled by neighbors. Addison Walker lives a charmed life. He makes sure of it. The alternative is unthinkable. It hurts too much to feel like the world is against him.
