Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker (later known as Darth Vader) was a human Force-user who was believed to be the Chosen One. Skywalker served as a member of the Jedi Order from 32 BBY to 19 BBY until he was turned to the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Sidious. However, Skywalker ultimately sacrificed himself to save his son, Luke Skywalker in 4 ABY.

Anakin Skywalker served as a slave to Watto on the planet Tatooine from a young age until he was found by a Jedi named Qui-Gon Jinn (who believed that he was The Chosen One) and was trained in the Jedi Order under Obi-Wan Kenobi. At the end of the Clone Wars, he was seduced to the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Sidious. Anakin became Darth Vader and brought terror to the Galaxy. He was eventually redeemed by his son, Luke Skywalker. Anakin died shortly after saving Luke from Darth Sidious.
