Summary
Anakin Skywalker is a Human Jedi Knight and the Chosen One destined to balance the Force. Born to a slave on Tatooine through Darth Plagueis' manipulation of the Force, Anakin had a gift of unprecedented potential in the Force. Discovered by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin expressed his desire to become a Jedi, eventually being accepted into the Order despite the reservations of members of the Jedi Council, including Jedi Grand Master Yoda and the similarly respected Mace Windu. He later became a legendary hero of the Clone Wars, taking on the young Togruta Ahsoka Tano as a Padawan and leading Republic forces to many victories alongside his Master, Obi-Wan.
However, the war took its toll on the Jedi Knight, and his fears of loss and separation from his loved ones allowed Darth Sidious to turn Anakin to the Dark Side. This led to the downfall of the Jedi Order, with Anakin slaying many Order 66 survivors and younger Jedi trainees under Sidious's orders. The young Skywalker then had his climactic battle with his former Master on Mustafar but was ultimately defeated and left to die. Sidious, however, saved his new apprentice, equipping Anakin's wounded body with the life-support system and helmet that would become emblematic of his later identity, Darth Vader.

Standard Equipment: His lightsaber
Intelligence: Mechanical and technical Extraordinary Genius (Built an advanced droid and a podracer that he had been working on for years at the age of 9 years old. One of the other children states that he had been working on it for years, implying that he had began building it at an even earlier age than 9, and knows Huttese. Skywalker competes in the Boonta Eve podrace at the age of 9 years old with his own custom made podracer he built. He displays heightened reflexes and showings of impressive dexterity throughout the race. He not only wins the race, but he wins his freedom from being a slave because of that.. Anakin participated in the Battle of Naboo at the age of 9, and managed to survive and destroy the Trade Federation control ship.[1] designed custom starfighters and other devices, master starfighter pilot, skilled and experienced combatant. Unorthodox, yet brilliant, tactician and strategist.

Weaknesses: Arrogance and fear for the lives of those he loves led to his ultimate corruption into Darth Vader, drifts towards the Dark Side when angered, making him very impulsive.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Disney Abilities
- Form V (Shien/Djem So): The fifth form of Lightsaber combat, Shien/Djem So. The Djem So variant of Form V was based on defending with solid blocks and parries, then immediately countering with strong counterattacks and ripostes, and was geared toward and created for lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, although it was nonetheless reasonably useful for blaster deflection. Anakin Skywalker was a known user of Djem So, both during his initial stint as a Jedi and later when he subsequently fell to the Sith. The Shien variant of Form V allowed the utilization of an unconventional reverse grip, which Ahsoka Tano was known to prefer and use during battles.
- Form IV (Ataru): Anakin is extremely skilled in Ataru. Like Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn, he specialized in the Ataru lightsaber form, a fast-paced and physically taxing form utilizing acrobatics to overwhelm an opponent's defenses. Although the form's weak points include prolonged combat, confined spaces, and compromised defense, Anakin made modifications allowing the form to be make it far more effective in defending against incoming projectiles or range attackers.
- Force Barrier: A defensive Force that allows the users to create a barrier of energy around the target. Depending on the strength of the user, the wall could only withstand a few attacks before collapsing.
- Telekinesis: Anakin can use the Force to put his mind literally over matter, capable of blasting opponents, shielding himself, or disarming people. Furthermore, the user's creativity is the limit of the power's capabilities.
- Mind Trick: The Force has a substantial impact on the feeble-minded, a fact Force users sometimes exploit. For example, a skilled Jedi may utilize the Force to implant a suggestion into the others they come into contact with, urging them to follow the Jedi's orders. Anakin has a considerable mastery of the power, able to probe for hidden thoughts in the minds of others and learn them for himself.
- Tutaminis: Through the Force, Anakin can either absorb potentially harmful energy or redirect it away completely.
- Force Speed: A Force ability whereby one augments their running speeds with the Force to such degrees that they can move at superhuman speeds. Anakin is quite proficient with this power. The most notable instance of his usage of it was on Maridun, where he ran across a battlefield at high speed towards the tank of Separatist General Lok Durd while cutting down a battalion of B1 battle droids. This feat is especially noteworthy since Anakin was still recuperating from severe injuries at the time.
Legends/EU Abilities
- Force Barrier: Both an offensive and defensive Force power that creates a barrier of Force energy around the intended target, be itself, friend, or foe. Depending on the strength of the individual, the wall could only withstand a few attacks before collapsing.
- Force Healing: Accelerates the body's natural healing process at a rapid pace. Master practitioners of the art can even heal themselves from fatal injuries in a short period (like being cooked alive, punctured lungs, etc.)
- Force Scream: Anakin unleashes a Force-enhanced scream. He tends only to do this when incredibly enraged.
- Pyrokinesis: Anakin Skywalker, at a young age, accidentally used this power to burn an opponent from the inside of their body.
- Telekinesis: Anakin can use this through the Force to put his mind literally over matter, capable of blasting opponents, shielding himself, or disarming people, its limits are only those of the creativity that Force User has. His prowess with this power was great enough to atomize his opponents.
- Mind Trick: Can easily manipulate others mentally with the Force to trick, deceive, maim or even kill outright. He can also use this power manipulate others or create an illusion.
- Tutaminis: Through the Force, Anakin can draw potentially harmful energy into his body, either diffuse or channel it away completely.
