Son of ], and with an unknown father (in ], Shmi states that he has no father. Some viewers have drawn the obvious narrative parallels to the ] stories of ]'s conception and birth). In that film, he appears as a young child. He is found on ] by ] and ], two ], and after his gifts are revealed, Qui-Gon is convinced that Skywalker is the individual told in prophecy that will "bring balance to ].

In ], Anakin, now a young adult and cocky apprentice Jedi (played by actor ]), again meets up with Amidala, on whom he has developed a massive crush. Assigned to guard Amidala, in conversation he reveals, as well as his affection, a distrust of the political process and his view of the need for one strong leader. After the death of Shmi, freed from slavery and living in the deserts of Tattoine with her new husband, at the hands of the "sand people", Anakin's dark side is more strongly revealed as he slaughters a whole tribe of them in bloody revenge. After losing his right arm in a light saber battle with ], the movie ends with Anakin's elopement and marriage to Amidala on ].

] sees Vader attempt to persuade Luke to join the Emperor and himself on the "Dark Side of ]". When that fails, Vader and Luke fight another light-saber battle, Luke refusing to attack Vader and all the while attempting to persuade him to come back to the "Good Side" of the Force. Finally, Vader telepathically examines Luke's mind and realises that Leia is Luke's sister (and thus his daughter), and threatens to turn her to the Dark Side. Luke finally reacts with anger, severely injuring Vader. The Emperor then again beseeches Luke to join the Dark Side, but Luke refuses, and so the Emperor uses the energy of the Force to slowly fry Luke. Vader struggles to his feet, grabs the Emperor (thus further injuring himself from the Force's energy) and throws the Emperor down a hole in the Death Star to the Emperor's death. Nearing death, Vader asks Luke to remove his mask so he can see Luke, for the first time "with his own eyes". Vader dies soon after.

His body is cremated in the manner of a Jedi, and the end of the film Luke sees what appears to be a vision of Anakin (without the artificial body of Vader), Obi-Wan, and ] smiling down upon him.

The as-yet Episode III will presumably provide a more complete explanation as to the transformation of Anakin into the evil Vader.
