Anakin Skywalker - Softcover

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Anakin Skywalker is a central character in the Star Wars saga. He is the main protagonist of the prequel trilogy, which follows his rise as a vessel of The Force and his fall to the dark side. In the prequel films, Anakin is a Jedi Padawan, and later a Jedi Knight of legend. As revealed in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, he is the alter ego of Sith Lord Darth Vader as well as the father of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa. Sebastian Shaw portrayed Anakin in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in the scenes where Darth Vader's helmet is removed and when he appears as a Force-ghost with Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. In the prequel trilogy, Anakin is portrayed by then- ten-year-old Jake Lloyd in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and by Hayden Christensen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Stock footage of Christensen appears in the 2004 DVD release of Return of the Jedi, replacing Shaw in the movie's final scene.
