Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader is perhaps the single most influential character in Star Wars, and his complete timeline includes a series of pivotal events not only for his character but also for the entire galaxy. Anakin is both one of Star Wars’ most powerful Jedi and one of Star Wars’ most powerful Sith, and he had a massive impact on the Star Wars timeline in both those roles (for better or worse). He also continues to be a key character, even following the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
