Anakin Skywalker was a young slave boy who lived on the desert planet Tatooine. He lived with his mother and worked as a slave for an alien named Watto. All in all, it was a rather normal life for a slave.
But since that changed, the Universe has trembled in terror of its eventual would-be destroyer.
Anakin's world was shaken up when the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his "Padawan," or apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, came to Tatooine. Master Jinn immediately recognized something massive in Anakin. Deeply connected to the Force, he had the potential to become the strongest Jedi Knight ever. After winning a Pod Race largely due to his Force skills, Anakin left with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Queen Padme' Naberrie Amidala of Naboo. Meanwhile, the evil Emporer had sent his apprentice, Darth Maul after the two Jedi Knights. They went to Corouscant, narrowly escaping Maul at each turn. Unfortunately, he caught up with them. Maul battled Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Although he killed Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan killed him, and took the boy as his apprentice. Although Obi-Wan trained him well, Anakin had a natural violence within him. He was rash and unthinking--and he feared losing the ones he loved very much. However, he proved to be a great Jedi Knight, and speculation arose that he might be The Chosen One--the one who would destroy the Sith Peerage once and for all. He loved his mother, Shmi Skywalker, and wanted her, so he traveled to Tatooine to see her. But when he got there, he realized that Tusken Raiders, or "sandpeople," had murdered her. Anakin slaughtered an entire tribe of Tuskens, even the women and children of the tribe, in a blind rage. He was turning to the Dark Side. He also started a romance with Padme Amidala, former queen of Naboo--one of whose Senators, Palpatine, now Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, would eventually corrupt it into the Galactic Empire.
He married Padme soon after, and she got pregnant. However, Anakin feared losing her as he had lost his mother. "Fear leads to anger; anger to hate; hate to suffering," said Yoda who recognized that the boy might be on the path to the Dark Side. He started to distrust those around him, and he loathed the Jedi Order when he felt they wronged him. He also was taken in by Palpatine, who was secretly a Sith Lord. Palpatine gained Anakin's trust and loyalty, only to have Anakin learn that he was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Palpatine told him, however, that with Sith powers, he could become immortal and stop other people from dying. Mace Windu defeated the Emperor--but Anakin had made his decision and hastily severed Windu's sword arm. After Palpatine killed the Jedi Master, he assured Anakin that he was fulfilling his destiny. Anakin then pledged loyalty to the Sith and became Emperor's new apprentice: Darth Vader. Darth Vader discovered that Obi-Wan was traveling to Mustafar, and that that was where Padme Amidala was. He thought that Obi-Wan was trying to turn his wife against him--and that Padme was plotting with Obi-Wan against him. Vader went berserk. He nearly killed Padme with a Force-choke and attacked Obi-Wan. They fought a huge battle on the lava planet, with both nearly striking death blows. In the end, Obi-Wan got the winning position, but Vader foolishly attacked anyway--and Obi-Wan severed his legs and good arm off. Vader then caught fire, and he nearly burned to death. Kenobi left sadly, for his friend and apprentice had turned to evil. Vader was saved by the Emperor-who healed him and put him in a black suit of armor with robotic limbs and covered with flowing black robes and a huge black cloak. He became the Emperor's apprentice and second-in-command of the Empire.
Almost twenty years passed from there. In the end of the final conflict him and his son he had to choose between letting his son die or his loyalties to his master. He did bring balance to ther force.
