itself, Anakin Skywalker has left an indelible mark on the history of
the galaxy, leading it through periods of lightness and dark.
Discovered as a slave child on Tatooine, he was brought into the Jedi
Order and quickly ascended to become one of its brightest stars. The
trials of the Clone Wars, however, transformed him. Tempted by Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine, Anakin succumbed to the dark side of the Force,
and became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. It was only through the efforts
of his son, Luke, that Anakin was redeemed to fulfill the prophecy, and
vanquish the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.
Before The Phantom Menace
Much mystery surrounds the birth of Anakin Skywalker. There was no
father -- Shmi Skywalker carried him in her womb and gave birth to him,
yet how he came to be remains a puzzle. Some speculate that it was the
will of the Force. Darker theories point to forbidden Sith experiments
that could coax midi-chlorians to create life. Whatever the
explanation, Anakin was destined to be special, despite his lowly
status as a slave.
Shmi and Anakin came to Tatooine when he was a toddler, and they were
sold by their owner, Gardulla the Hutt, to the unscrupulous Toydarian
junk dealer Watto to settle a gambling debt. While in Watto's employ,
Anakin learned valuable mechanical and technical skills. He earned the
reputation of being able to fix anything. So technically inclined was
he that at the age of nine, he cobbled together a working protocol
droid -- C-3PO -- to help his mother.
Anakin was a kind, selfless child. He had no thoughts of greed or
malice in him. He would often risk his own well-being to bring help to
those who needed it, heedless of the consequences. As a five-year old,
Anakin climbed a dune to chase away banthas so that hunters would not
shoot them. Though he collapsed from exhaustion several times, he
nonetheless persevered in his effort to save the animals. A few years
later, he broke into the fortress of Gardulla the Hutt to save
Ghostling children captured there. Even the risk of enraging the Dug
bully named Sebulba -- who provided the Ghostlings as slaves -- did not
deter the boy.
During a trade with Jawas from Mochot Steep, Anakin came across a
wounded Tusken Raider. Despite common traveler advice to the contrary,
Anakin tended to the Tusken Raider's wounds and nursed him to health.
Though compassionate, Anakin was also quite competitive --
downright aggressive at times. Anakin's participation in the foolhardy
sport of Podracing was testament to this. Anakin was the only known
human capable of handling the extreme speeds of Podracing. His small
frame allowed him to sit in the tiny cockpit, and his superhuman
reflexes gave him the advantage he needed to keep up with alien
competitors better suited to the sport. Anakin's reflexes were actually
the product of Force-intuition -- the boy could see events before they
happened, and respond to them in kind. Anakin's love of Podracing came about almost by accident.
Anakin took Watto's Podracer out for a test spin and performed
exceptionally. Recognizing his talent, Watto let the boy continue his
piloting, sensing potential profit from the venture. Little did Watto
suspect that Anakin would start building his own Podracer, in secret,
that would eventually win him his freedom.
