With Windu correctly surmising that it was bait set by Boba Fett, he saved Skywalker from taking the full brunt of the explosion set off by touching the helmet. Now trapped under the rubble, the wounded Skywalker and the unconscious Windu were soon found by R2-D2, whom Skywalker told to call the Temple for help. As they waited for the astromech to come back, Windu told Skywalker why Fett wanted him dead: he sought revenge for killing his father, Jango, during the first battle of Geonosis.
As the Endurance began to collapse, they were rescued by Tano, Plo Koon, and a clone squad, thanks to R2-D2 delivering the message at the Temple itself. The Jedi Master did not agree, until Koon and Tano showed them a message from Fett and Sing, with hostages—one of them, Ponds , killed in cold blood by Sing.
Though Windu decided to go, Koon said that he would take the mission , alongside Tano, since both Windu and Skywalker were still recovering from their injuries. Following his wife's mission to discover a conspiracy on Mandalore, [96] Skywalker and Captain Rex escorted Tano to her solo mission on Mandalore to instruct cadets at the Royal Academy of Government at the behest of Duchess Kryze and the Jedi Council.
Before leaving to join with Kit Fisto , Skywalker took his Padawan's lightsaber to respect Mandalore's laws. After Tano exposed Almec's black market operation, Skywalker reunited with his Padawan, to whom he returned her lightsaber. Back in the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Council congratulated Tano on her courage and strength, but also ordered Skywalker to command the Third Legion on Balith to give assistance in their civil war.
Told by the Council to stay behind so she could give them her full report, Tano pleaded to Skywalker to let her come along, but he told her that she should use this time in the library to prove him wrong about his assertion that she learned more on the battlefield than in the Temple, before leaving for Balith with Rex. Wondering who would pay for Amidala's assassination, Yoda had Tano use her improved precognitive abilities to find out who was behind the assassination attempt.
With her description, Amidala realized who it was—Ziro the Hutt. Skywalker and his Padawan then went to the Judiciary Detention Center to question Ziro, who was tricked by Tano into confessing that he had hired Sing for the job.
Satisfied, Skywalker and his Padawan then left the Hutt to his misery. Shortly, Grievous's fleet arrived and Skywalker led the Republic space forces, scoring several serious hits against the enemy. On the planet below, Tipoca City was attacked by Trident -class assault ship and AQ-series battle droids , prompting Kenobi to recall Skywalker to the city.
With the aid of clone trooper platoon , Skywalker recovered the sample from Ventress, but she, like Grievous, managed to escape yet again.
Skywalker was later informed by his apprentice that Pantora Chairman Papanoida's daughters had been kidnapped. Knowing that the Jedi couldn't get officially involved, he slyly gave her permission to rescue them due to "personal concerns"; this turned out to be successful, with both daughters being safely returned to their father. Supposed to be on a meditative retreat, [34] Skywalker spent some time with his wife on her apartment, observing as Amidala anxiously arranged a party for Senator Aang , who held the deciding vote on the Military Oversight Committee.
Skywalker tried to ease her mind, telling her that the party would work out and that she should relax, when they saw C-3PO being fuzzy about the arrangements. At Amidala's request, Skywalker sent the protocol droid and R2-D2 to buy the jogan fruit that the latter had forgotten to buy for Aang's favorite dessert, jogan fruitcake.
Although they were delayed, Amidala nevertheless hosted the party all the same, with her and Skywalker waiting for the two droids to come back—who did so just in time to present the cake to Senator Aang. Not too long after, Skywalker went to the Senate Building to convince Amidala to go away together for two weeks , to a faraway place where no one would recognize them, so that they could actually be husband and wife, instead of Senator and Jedi.
Amidala, however, rejected the idea, for she was preparing an important bill for the Senate. Skywalker retorted that the bill seemed more important than their love, but Amidala countered that it wasn't, just that they both lived to serve the Republic. However, Skywalker stated that there was nothing more important than the way he felt about her, and proved it by giving Amidala his lightsaber, which, Kenobi had told him once, was his "life.
They were soon interrupted by C-3PO and Senator Organa's voices, prompting Skywalker to hide under her desk and Amidala to hide his lightsaber in her sleeve. As she went to the lobby to attend a meeting about the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill , only to be taken hostage along with several other Senators by Cad Bane and his team. Following her, Skywalker saw the situation, when Bane spotted him and sent his henchmen to capture him, but Skywalker avoided them long enough to contact Palpatine and defeat an IG sentinel droid empty-handed, before being shocked into unconsciousness by Robonino and Aurra Sing and brought before the Senators.
After the bounty hunters planted bombs that would go off if their laser detectors were triggered and left the building, Skywalker woke up and Amidala returned his lightsaber. He then used it to cut a hole in the floor, dropping all the senators one floor down into safety, just before Bane triggered the bombs and escaped alongside the now-freed Ziro. Following the crisis, Skywalker went with Amidala to Caamas to board legendary actress Madam Risha Synata 's private ship.
After they arrived, Skywalker and Amidala met Synata. Skywalker agreed to see her museum , despite Amidala's reluctance. Skywalker took Amidala to her room. The next day, Skywalker and Amidala went to the museum. There, Skywalker and Amidala saw a display of Varykino , [] where they exchanged their vows. Skywalker fought them off and helped Amidala escape them. Skywalker and Amidala then discovered a Separatist banner and a hologram of Count Dooku. Skywalker and Amidala discovered that Synata was collaborating with Dooku and the Separatists.
Skywalker then took one of the Separatist agents while Amidala discovered a list of anti-Separatist senators. Skywalker and Amidala discovered that along with Amidala, Synata planned to kill them with Dioxis gas. With assistance from R2-D2, Skywalker and Amidala reached the theater. As Amidala told the audience to get out, Skywalker borrowed a mask and helmet from an actor.
He confronted Synata, who had her own real lightsaber. Skywalker fought Synata until he held at the end of his lightsaber. Skywalker and Amidala then gave their report about their trip to the Jedi Council. Once she arrived, Skywalker reprimanded her for being late, but Yoda praised her for helping out and proceeded to extend her Padawan braid.
Skywalker allowed Tano to go with Amidala in order for her to learn more about politics. After an apparent Separatist attack , Skywalker confronted his apprentice about her and Amidala's meeting with Onderon 's senator Mina Bonteri on Raxus Secundus and how foolish it was. Despite that, Skywalker's apprentice learned that politics were not as black and white as she thought.
One year and eight months or so into the Clone Wars, [] Skywalker and Kenobi commanded Republic forces in a battle against Asajj Ventress's fleet in the Sullust system. Directly participating of the battle in their starfighters, Kenobi was singled out and attacked by Ventress, whose Ginivex -class fanblade starfighter was, in turn, disabled by Skywalker. As Kenobi and Ventress crashed in the hangar of the Separatist command ship, Skywalker soon landed to assist his former master; together, the two Jedi engage Ventress in a duel.
They were interrupted, however, by the destruction of the ship, secretly ordered by Count Dooku. The two Jedi fled in their interceptors, presuming Ventress to be doomed. After the massacre on Devaron , [] Skywalker and Kenobi were sent to Dathomir , as footage had shown the Council of a Dathomirian's role during the attack on Devaron.
Once on Dathomir, they made their way to a village , where they were ambushed by the Nightbrothers until Skywalker took their leader hostage; the Zabrak then told the Jedi that a Nightsister had taken one of them to their fortress , prompting the Jedi to go there. Skywalker and Kenobi questioned Mother Talzin , who told them his name—Savage Opress—and whereabouts. The two Jedi then headed to Toydaria where they confronted Opress, but failed to stop him from killing King Katuunko.
Using the king's ship as theirs was destroyed, Skywalker and Kenobi caught up with their target on Dooku's Separatist flagship; however, Opress managed to overpower them, forcing the two to retreat and leave the ship.
When the Jedi Council received a 2,year-old Jedi distress signal , Skywalker along with Kenobi and Tano were sent by the High Council to the Chrelythiumn system , where they were supposed to meet up with Captain Rex and an armed cruiser.
Though they both made it to the rendezvous point, neither Rex's nor the Jedi's ship could see each other. In fact, the Jedi's ship was guided to a mysterious planet, Mortis , where they met by a mysterious figure called the Daughter , who asked Skywalker if he was "the one" and who wanted to lead them to the Father , when Skywalker was separated from Kenobi and Tano, and the Daughter.
Skywalker tried to follow her, only to reach the monastery , where he met the Father and was given shelter for the night. As he tried to sleep, the figure of his mother, Shmi, appeared before him and encouraged him to tell her of his pain and guilt—that he was too late to save her, and that he had failed as a Jedi and that he had failed her, having tasted only vengeance when he slaughtered so many to avenge her death.
But, as he mentioned his wife, who he claimed was "everything" to him, the figure finally revealed itself to be the Son , briefly assuming a monstrous appearance before disappearing. Shaken by the encounter, he confronted the Father, who told of his family's history, and wondered if he was truly the Chosen One. Though Skywalker dismissed the prophecy as a myth, the Father arranged a test to see whether the Jedi Knight was fit to fulfill his destiny.
Ordering his children to kill Tano and Kenobi, the Father goaded Skywalker into choosing between his master and his apprentice, but Skywalker instead controlled the two beings, bringing them to their knees. Having proved himself to be the Chosen One, the Father pleaded with him to stay, but Skywalker refused, leaving with Tano and Kenobi on their shuttle. They were interrupted when the Son kidnapped Tano, prompting Skywalker to pursue him, at the cost of damaging their ship near Son's cathedral.
Despite Kenobi's reservations, Skywalker went after his Padawan and climbed the tower to find Tano, corrupted by the dark side. Skywalker fought her, soon to be joined by Kenobi, only to be interrupted by the Father's arrival.
Kenobi tried to hand Skywalker the Dagger of Mortis , but Tano grabbed it and gave it to the Son, who killed her, for she was no longer useful; the dark side user then mortally wounded his sister as she stepped in to save her Father.
Skywalker begged the Father to save Tano, and the dying Daughter used Skywalker as a conduit to channel the last of her life force into Tano, resurrecting her. The Father told them to leave the planet before the Son used their ship to do so. The ship's repairs forced them to stay a bit longer, though, and Skywalker went to the Father for guidance.
On their meeting, the Father was determined to kill Son, but refused Skywalker's offer of aid, telling the Jedi Knight to look inside himself for the answer for what was to be done. Though Skywalker sought his advice, Jinn advised him to remember his training and trust his instincts, and to go to the Well of the Dark Side to face his most personal challenge.
There, the Son forced Skywalker to confront his future, one consumed by the dark side. Horrified, Skywalker submitted to the Son as he promised him the power to avert this destiny. Soon, Kenobi arrived, and Skywalker left him trapped at the well, claiming to have seen the truth—that it was the Jedi who would stand in the way of peace.
Skywalker arrived as his Padawan disabled the ship and went to rescue Kenobi, while the Son went to steal the Dagger. As Skywalker waited, the Father appeared before him and recognized that his son had broken the rules of time ; he wiped Skywalker's memory of these future visions, leaving him unconscious, and brought him to his monastery.
Skywalker awoke to find the Father, Kenobi, and Tano, moments before the Son arrived with the Dagger. To end the conflict, the Father impaled himself to distract his Son, while Skywalker killed the Son with his lightsaber. As the Father also died, he warned Skywalker to be wary of his feelings as they would lead to his downfall, and the three Jedi were transplanted back to the galaxy to finally rendezvous with Rex.
Refusing to let Tano risk her life on such a dangerous mission, Skywalker devised a strategy to bypass the lifeform scanners of the prison; the whole team underwent carbon-freezing and were transported to the Citadel by Commander R2-D2 and his reprogrammed battle droid squadron.
After landing, Skywalker was thawed out and he found, to his surprise, that Tano had disobeyed orders and followed him. Forced to take her along, the team made its way to the facilities, leaving the astromech to guard their shuttle. After free-climbing to the entry point through a cliff wall blasted by a strong gale and littered with electro-mines , and after Tano deactivated the ray-shield on the entrance, the team was able to enter, except for Charger , who fell to his death and alerted the prison staff, led by Osi Sobeck , of their presence.
Inside, they lost Longshot , but finally made it to Master Piell, whom they freed and who told them they needed to rescue his officers. Despite the many traps laid through the fortress , the team rescued the officers, when they met the other carrier of the Nexus Route coordinates, Captain Wilhuff Tarkin. The team was split into two—while Kenobi's team created a diversion, Skywalker would lead the others away. In Tarkin's company, Skywalker and his team escaped through the cavern system below the prison, when Tarkin expressed some skepticism about the Jedi's plan, to which Skywalker told Tarkin that he reserved his trust to those who understood gratitude.
As they made their way out of the fuel line to rendezvous with R2-D2 and the shuttle, they were attacked by droids and forced to join Kenobi at their pick-up point, with the shuttle heavily guarded. During the skirmish, Echo tried to defend the shuttle, but its destruction and subsequent explosion seemingly killed him. As they ran into the cave system, Skywalker and Kenobi contacted the Council, telling them they needed to escape, and Koon immediately departed to pick them up.
The creatures claimed Master Piell's life, who passed his intel on to Tano, and the group took a moment to honor his death. Ultimately, they got to the extraction point on time, and fled on Plo Koon's rescue shuttle, with Saesee Tiin 's fleet covering them to allow their escape back to Coruscant.
Skywalker, Tano, and st forces fought on Felucia alongside Plo Koon and his clones in taking out a reinforced Separatist outpost. Breaking their forces into three groups, Skywalker and Rex's team were responsible for attacking the front gate and destroying the tactical droid , TZ , securing the outpost together with Koon and Tano's teams. However, Skywalker then noticed that Tano had disappeared during the battle, and ordered a perimeter sweep. Skywalker had his men search around the outpost, to no avail several times over.
Master Koon then informed that he had alerted all forces throughout the Outer Rim and assured Skywalker that she would be found eventually, but also firmly told him that their mission on Felucia was finished and that they had to return to Coruscant.
However, Skywalker refused to abandon her, to which Koon observed his emotions were clouding his judgment. Skywalker countered "I will not leave her fate up to others. Back at the Temple, Skywalker relentlessly searched for possibilities in the star charts, which prompted Koon to suggest that he should trust in Tano's abilities.
Upon seeing her, Skywalker profusely apologized for all that happened, heavily blaming himself for his apparent inability to protect her. Tano, however, assured him that his instruction gave her the skills necessary to survive and thanked him for his guidance. The two bowed to each other in newfound mutual respect under the delighted eye of Master Yoda.
Skywalker was contacted by Rex, who was requesting assistance, though he was already preoccupied with a group of Vulture Droids. Skywalker later met Kenobi and Rex in disbelief, noticing they had hijacked an AAT alongside faulty battle droid Bats.
Skywalker was soon attacked by Kreeda , a Segredo who was attempting to scare the Jedi away. However, Kreeda soon became friendly to the Jedi, as she was an old friend of Yoda.
When Skywalker attempted to recruit Kreeda as a spy, the Segredo left, and Skywalker and Yoda were attacked by battle droids soon after.
After being separated with Yoda, he met the Jedi Master and Kreeda again, the latter of whom explained she was protecting refugees of the Clone Wars. Using a hat from one of the individuals she was protecting, Skywalker pretended to be using the " cloaking cap " to distract General Flebek , allowing Yoda to take out a B1.
Believing there was no secret to invisibility and that it had been a trick, Flebek fled the area and boarded her ship. Upon asking what his report would entail, Yoda told Skywalker that he would tell Mace Windu there was nothing of interest on Retta. Though Skywalker and Amidala tried to mediate between the parties, the Quarren left the council hall, dissatisfied with the Mon Calamari rule.
Along with Ackbar, they contacted Yoda and Windu, who dispatched a company of clone troopers equipped for underwater combat under the command of Kit Fisto and Tano. In the meantime, during the Quarren attack assisted by Separatist aqua droids, Skywalker and Amidala accompanied Lee-Char, who in turn was bodyguarded by Ackbar.
He engaged the Quarren soldiers until he was recalled by his wife to help Senator Meena Tills , while leaving Tano to cover the prince and rescue him from Tamson. Forced to retreat into the caves below, they regrouped to decide their next course of action—to retreat to the surface, only return to the sea floor as their frigate was destroyed and they were attacked by more enemies.
They split into two groups: Skywalker went with his wife, Ackbar, and Tills, whereas Fisto, Tano, and two troopers accompanied the Prince. Expecting Republic reinforcements to come soon, Skywalker and his group proceeded to the Mon Calamari central planetary scanner facility, where the Jedi Knight collapsed the entire structure with the Force, rendering planetary defenses blind to upcoming Republic reinforcements—the Gungan Grand Army, and Representative Binks, sent at the behest of the High Council.
However, Tamson used Trident -class assault ship to create whirlpools, disorienting the Republic-Gungan forces, and though Skywalker managed to destroy one of them, all but Tano and Lee-Char were captured.
Brought before Riff Tamson, Skywalker and Fisto were restrained by electric eels , whereas Amidala and Jar Jar Binks were imprisoned within containment devices , interrogating the two Jedi about the whereabouts of Prince Lee-Char.
During the interrogation, Tamson attempted to force them to talk by biting a tiny hole into Amidala's helmet, allowing her suit to fill up with water. However, Tamson left to see the located Prince in person, Skywalker and Fisto used the Force to remove the water from her helmet, while Binks used his saliva to seal the puncture, saving her from drowning. The four were soon taken to witness Prince Lee-Char's execution, in which Nossor Ri , the Quarren leader, saved the prince at the critical moment and turned his people against the Separatists, resulting in the victory of the Mon Cala people.
With the peace restored, Skywalker and his friends were present for the coronation of Lee-Char , now recognized by both Mon Calamari and Quarren as their new monarch. Following rumors that the Gungans planned to aid the Separatists in an attack on Theed, Skywalker accompanied Amidala to Theed and later, to the Gungan territory near Lake Paonga where they met with Binks, who confirmed the troubling rumors.
He took the couple to Otoh Gunga, where they spoke to Boss Lyonie , and realized he was under the influence of a mind-controlling necklace , which Skywalker telekinetically snatched, making him recover; Lyonie told them that new minister , Rish Loo , had given it to him. Skywalker, Amidala, and Binks assisted Lyonie as he confronted Loo, only to face droid commandos, and for Lyonie to be stabbed by Loo before the minister's escape.
Taking the Boss to an infirmary, the couple noticed the uncanny resemblance between the unconscious Lyonie and Binks, who they convince to impersonate Lyonie and cancel the Gungan assault on Theed. As he did so, uncovering Loo's deception to the army, Skywalker pursued the fugitive minister to a trap set by Count Dooku in Loo's laboratory.
As Dooku killed Loo and revealed his secret input in the Battle of Naboo, Skywalker dueled the Count, only to be overwhelmed by Dooku's powers and his four MagnaGuards.
An hour later, Skywalker was brought and handed over to Amidala, Queen Neeyutnee and the Gungans, while Grievous was allowed to remain free. During the campaign on Umbara , Skywalker and Kenobi discussed their attack strategy against the Umbaran capital city , which was being defended by Confederate and local militia forces.
Together with Rex and Fives, Skywalker prepared to repel enemy reinforcements striking against Kenobi's joint attack with Jedi Masters Saesee Tiin and Pong Krell , who would be supporting Kenobi from the south whereas Skywalker and st Legion would advance from the north. Amidst heavy fire, Skywalker and his battalion made it to the landing site, and then to a ridge which they used as a staging area. As he and Rex awaited the rest of their men, hoping to move out soon and reinforce General Kenobi's battalion, Dogma reported that all platoons had reported in, and Skywalker told him to get some rest.
Dogma replied that he was fine, but Rex told him it was a direct order, prompting Dogma to do as he was told. As Rex observed Dogma was "wound tight but loyal," Skywalker joked that he reminded him of Rex, who disagreed, saying that was him in the old days. Shortly after this, the Umbarans ambushed Skywalker and his troops, but an airstrike by Master Krell and Odd Ball saved them.
After the quick save, Krell approached Skywalker with a disconcerting message: the Council had ordered Skywalker back to Coruscant, effective immediately, as requested by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, for reasons unknown. Though reluctant to leave his troops in the midst of battle, Skywalker was forced to relinquish command over his troops to Master Krell and make the journey back to Coruscant. After landing, suspicious of the lack of colonists in the town , they used BARC speeders to break through the city and surround the governor's tower , used as the Separatist Headquarters.
The enemy commander, Darts D'Nar , then sent a message to Kenobi to discuss terms of surrender. Skywalker then took the holoprojector out of Cody's hand and called D'Nar " Zygerrian scum. As Skywalker contacted Admiral Yularen to conduct a planetary bioscan to find them, Kenobi explained Skywalker's behavior to Tano. Overhearing from Kenobi's negotiations that D'Nar had planted bombs throughout the city, Skywalker and Tano set out to disarm them.
Despite sniper droids , they destroyed the bombs in the nick of time, just for Kenobi to tell them D'Nar was escaping on the Tecora. With some effort, they managed to board the ship, inside which D'Nar pitted a blixus against them, but Skywalker managed to throw it off the ship, while Tano bested D'Nar in the cockpit.
Soon, Skywalker joined her and, with frightening intensity, threatened the Zygerrian into revealing the colonists' location, much to Tano's surprise. When Skywalker, Kenobi, Yularen, and Tano told the Jedi Council of their findings, they were tasked with locating the colonists. He quickly won Scintel's favor, with the Queen inviting him to accompany her during the slave auction, where she intended to have Skywalker prove himself a slaver by torturing Kenobi.
Instead, he freed Kenobi and tried to escape with R2-D2 returning their lightsabers, Rex providing cover fire and Tano confronting the Queen.

Ricocheted away from the Death Star and spun out of control, Vader was unable to stop Luke. The space station was destroyed, but Vader survived, and he flew into the far reaches of space. He had dispatched probe droids across the galaxy, finally locating the Rebel base on the remote ice planet Hoth.
With the Empire unable to secure the Millennium Falcon , Vader hired bounty hunters to track down the starship, and the deadly Boba Fett eventually set a trap for the heroes on Cloud City.
Believing they had found sanctuary, Han, Leia, and company actually found Vader and the Empire waiting. Vader tortured Han in an effort to lure Luke to Bespin , and later had Solo frozen in carbonite. Finally, Luke, who had cut his Jedi training short to save his friends, arrived and dueled with Vader. The Sith Lord proved too powerful; he brutalized Luke with flying debris, and eventually severed his right hand with his lightsaber.
Rather than join Vader, Luke chose to fall into a deep abyss, and survived. With the Empire looking to crush the Rebel Alliance once and for all, construction of a second Death Star commenced. Vader and the Emperor waited for Luke to come to them, which he did; the young Jedi believed there was still good in his father, and tried to turn him back to the light side. Vader was conflicted, but still brought Luke before the Dark Lord.
The Emperor taunted and tempted Luke, leading to a final duel between Vader and his son. Giving in to his hate, Luke overpowered Vader, cutting off his hand and was poised to deliver the killing blow.
The Emperor commanded that Luke finish his father and join the dark side, but the young Jedi refused, opting instead to throw away his lightsaber. Enraged at this denial, the Emperor shot Force lightning into Luke, torturing him. Sebagian besar badan Darth Vader adalah mesin karena sebelumnya Anakin terbakar di dekat lava ketika melawan Obi Wan Kenobi, karena itu untuk dapat membuatnya bertahan hidup, organ-organ tubuhnya yang rusak diganti dengan mesin.
Dia juga salah satu pendiri Galactic Empire. Darth Vader meninggal pada akhir Episode VI, ketika beberapa saat setelah dia terkena Force Lightning Darth Sidious untuk menyelamatkan anaknya dan membunuh Darth Sidious dengan menjatuhkannya kesebuah reaktor Nuklir.
Pada akhirnya, dia memutuskan untuk membuka topengnya yang berarti akan membuatnya meninggal untuk melihat anaknya, Luke Skywalker, dengan matanya sendiri. Mayatnya kemudian diperabukan oleh Luke, sebagai tanda bahwa dia kembali ke sisi Terang bersama Yoda dan Obi wan Kenobi.
Setelah menempatkan alat pelacak di atas kapal mereka, Millennium Falcon, Vader mampu melacak basis Pemberontak di planet Yavin 4. Dalam The Empire Strikes Back, Vader menjadi terobsesi untuk menemukan Luke yang peka terhadap kekuatan[88] dan memimpin pasukan stormtroopernya untuk menyerang markas Pemberontak di Hoth, tetapi Pemberontak melarikan diri. Saat berbicara dengan Kaisar Ian McDiarmid melalui hologram, Vader meyakinkannya bahwa Luke akan menjadi sekutu yang berharga jika dia bisa berubah menjadi sisi gelap.
Vader menyewa sekelompok pemburu hadiah untuk mengikuti teman Luke, dan bernegosiasi dengan administrator Bespin Lando Calrissian Billy Dee Williams untuk membuat jebakan bagi mereka untuk umpan Luke. Vader memberi tahu Luke bahwa dia adalah ayahnya, dan mencoba membujuknya untuk bergabung dengan sisi gelap dan membantunya menggulingkan Kaisar. Ngeri, Luke lolos melalui poros udara. Vader telepati memberitahu Luke bahwa itu adalah takdirnya untuk bergabung dengan sisi gelap.
Vader membawa Luke ke Death Star kedua untuk bertemu Kaisar. Sementara di sana, Kaisar menggoda Luke untuk menyerah pada kemarahannya, yang menyebabkan Vader berduel dengan Luke sekali lagi. Menyadari bahwa Leia adalah saudara kembar Luke, Vader mengancam untuk mengubahnya ke sisi gelap jika Luke tidak mau tunduk.
Marah, Luke mengalahkan Vader dan memutuskan tangan cybernetic ayahnya. Kaisar memohon Luke untuk membunuh Vader dan menggantikannya. Luke menolak dan Kaisar menyiksanya dengan petir Force.
Tidak ingin membiarkan putranya mati, Vader melemparkan Kaisar ke saluran reaktor sampai kematiannya, tetapi terluka parah oleh petir mantan tuannya dalam proses tersebut. Anakin Skywalker yang telah ditebus meminta Luke untuk melepaskan topengnya, dan mengakui bahwa bagaimanapun juga masih ada kebaikan dalam dirinya saat ia meninggal dengan damai di pelukan putranya.
Selain menjadi pilot dan mekanik yang berbakat, Anakin telah membangun droid protokolnya sendiri, C-3PO. Qui-Gon mengetahui dari Shmi bahwa Anakin dikandung tanpa ayah dan dapat meramalkan masa depan.
Qui-Gon merasakan hubungan kuat Anakin dengan the Force dan menjadi yakin bahwa dia adalah "Yang Terpilih" dari ramalan Jedi yang akan membawa keseimbangan pada the Force. Setelah memenangkan kebebasannya dalam taruhan podrace, Anakin pergi dengan Qui-Gon untuk dilatih sebagai Jedi di Coruscant, tetapi terpaksa meninggalkan ibunya. Qui-Gon meminta izin kepada Dewan Jedi untuk melatih Anakin, tetapi mereka merasakan ketakutan pada bocah itu dan menolak. Akhirnya, Anakin membantu mengakhiri invasi Federasi Dagang yang korup ke Naboo dengan menghancurkan kapal kendali mereka.
Selama bertahun-tahun, dia telah tumbuh kuat tetapi arogan, dan percaya bahwa Obi-Wan menahannya. Saat berada di sana, Anakin mengetahui bahwa Shmi telah dibebaskan dan menikah dengan petani Cliegg Lars Jack Thompson beberapa tahun setelah dia pergi.
Dia kemudian mengunjungi Cliegg dan mengetahui darinya bahwa dia diculik oleh Tusken Raiders. Anakin menempatkan Shmi di perkemahan Tusken, di mana dia meninggal dalam pelukannya. Diatasi dengan kesedihan dan kemarahan, Anakin membantai suku Tusken dan kembali ke wisma Lars untuk mengubur Shmi.
