Anakin Skywalker

Long before the age of starships, senators, and sprawling galactic institutions, the galaxy was a scattered collection of worlds: distant planets bound together by trade routes, explorers, colonists, and the mysterious energy field known as the Force. Civilization existed in fragments—kingdoms, alliances, merchant confederacies, and isolated cultures—each reaching outward into the dark in search of connection, wealth, or meaning. Around 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, several of the galaxy’s most influential Core Worlds joined together to form the Galactic Republic. It was not an empire, nor a single government imposed by conquest. It was an ideal: a fragile, ambitious union of sovereign planets that believed thousands of civilizations could coexist beneath shared law, mutual protection, and a common future. Coruscant became the heart of that idea. A world entirely covered by one endless city, Coruscant rose in towers of steel, glass, and light. Its surface disappeared beneath levels of government buildings, temples, residential districts, factories, and traffic lanes. Above it all stood the Galactic Senate, where representatives from countless worlds gathered for millennia to debate, negotiate, form alliances, and—more often than anyone wished to admit—delay. The Republic endured because it offered something rare in a dangerous galaxy: order without conquest. But it was never perfect. It was slow, political, and frequently blind to suffering beyond its brightest centers. Still, for most of its history, it remained the closest thing the galaxy had to peace. At the center of this new order stood the Jedi Order. The Jedi were not soldiers in the beginning. They were philosophers, healers, diplomats, explorers, and guardians of the Force. They believed that the Force flowed through all living things, connecting every life to every other. Some Jedi spoke of the living Force, present in the immediate moment and in every breathing creature; others emphasized the cosmic Force, the vast current that bound the galaxy together across time and space. Their discipline taught them to release fear, anger, jealousy, and attachment. These emotions were not evil in themselves, but the Jedi understood how easily they could consume a sensitive mind. Fear could become control. Anger could become hatred. Love, when twisted by loss, could become possession. For thousands of years, the Jedi served the Republic as peacekeepers and protectors. They believed that peace was not merely the absence of war. True peace required justice, balance, and the courage to act when others could not. Yet the Jedi were not alone in their understanding of the Force. From within their own ranks came those who rejected restraint. They believed that passion, ambition, and desire were not weaknesses to be suppressed, but truths to be embraced. Where the Jedi sought harmony, these heretics sought mastery. Where the Jedi trusted service, they trusted strength. They became the first Sith. Their philosophy was simple: power was earned through struggle, and peace was often a lie told by the weak. The conflict between Jedi and Sith would shape galactic history for tens of thousands of years, leaving behind ruined worlds, broken orders, and legends that outlived the people who created them. Around 5000 BBY, the galaxy entered one of its earliest great wars: the Great Hyperspace War. The Sith Empire, rooted in the ancient Sith worlds of Korriban and the surrounding systems, clashed with the Republic and the Jedi Order. It was the first time much of the galaxy understood that the Sith were not merely fallen Jedi or scattered cultists. They were a civilization—capable of building fleets, raising armies, and challenging the Republic itself. The war ended in defeat for the Sith Empire, but not in its destruction. The dark side survived. It always would. Centuries later came the age of Darth Revan and Darth Malak, two of the most dangerous figures in Jedi history. Revan had once been a celebrated Jedi hero during the Mandalorian Wars, a conflict in which the Republic was nearly overwhelmed by the warrior culture of the Mandalorians. The Jedi Council urged restraint, fearing that intervention would draw the Order deeper into war. But Revan believed caution had become cowardice. He defied the Council, gathered followers, and led Republic forces into battle. Victory made him a legend. The dark side made him something else entirely. Revan fell to the Sith and became a Dark Lord, with his closest friend and ally, Malak, at his side. Together, they built a new Sith Empire and nearly destroyed the Republic. Their war was not merely one of armies and fleets; it was a war of ideals, loyalty, and identity. Yet Revan’s story did not end in darkness. Captured and stripped of his memories, he was given a chance to begin again. Whether he ultimately returned fully to the light or remained forever divided between the two sides of the Force, his legend endured. He became proof that even the greatest heroes could fall—and that even the greatest monsters might remember who they once were. Malak, by contrast, never sought redemption. Once Revan’s closest ally, he betrayed him when the opportunity came and seized the Sith throne for himself. He was brutal, impatient, and hungry for domination. Where Revan had been a strategist, Malak was a conqueror. Where Revan had understood patience, Malak understood only force. His fall revealed one of the oldest truths of the Sith path: power gained through betrayal rarely ends in loyalty. For millennia, the galaxy continued to fracture and heal. Republics rose. Sith Empires collapsed. Mandalorians fought. Jedi died. New generations inherited old hatreds, old wars, and old names spoken like curses. Then, around 1000 BBY, the age of open Sith warfare came to an end. At the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, the Sith were believed to have been annihilated. Almost. One Sith survived: Darth Bane. Bane understood something his predecessors had not. The Sith had not lost because they were too weak. They had lost because they were too many. Every Sith Lord wanted to rule. Every apprentice eventually wanted to overthrow his master. Their ambition, which should have made them powerful, had made them fragile. So Bane created the Rule of Two. There would be only one Sith Master and one Sith apprentice at a time. The Master embodied power. The apprentice craved it. In secrecy, the Sith would wait, grow stronger, and plan for the day when the galaxy had forgotten they existed. Bane himself had risen from violence. He understood survival better than ideology, and he possessed none of the theatrical cruelty that would later define lesser Sith. He was cold, disciplined, and utterly without sentiment. To him, the Force was not a gift. It was a weapon. His legacy would outlive every Jedi who fought against him. With the Sith believed extinct, the Republic entered its longest period of peace. For nearly a thousand years, there were no great galactic wars. The Jedi became keepers of the peace rather than warriors. The Senate became the center of galactic civilization. Trade flourished. Worlds expanded. The Republic seemed eternal. But peace made it complacent. Corruption spread through the Senate. Wealthy Core Worlds accumulated influence while poorer systems in the Outer Rim were neglected. Bureaucracy replaced action. Compromise replaced conviction. The Republic still called itself a democracy, but its democracy had become slow, bloated, and vulnerable. Coruscant remained the shining heart of this civilization: a planet of towers, traffic, politics, and endless light. Tatooine, by contrast, lay far from the centers of power. It was a desert world where slavery, crime, and survival shaped daily life. Its twin suns burned over sand dunes, moisture farms, cantinas, and settlements built by people who had learned not to expect rescue. Naboo was one of the Republic’s more refined worlds, governed by an elected monarchy and known for its beauty, art, and culture. Corellia built ships and produced pilots. Kamino, hidden among storm-wrapped oceans, mastered the science of cloning. Mustafar burned with volcanic fire and concealed resources beneath its ash. Each world reflected a different face of the galaxy: wealth and poverty, order and chaos, civilization and abandonment. By 32 BBY, the Republic’s weaknesses were ready to be exploited. The Trade Federation, a powerful commercial cartel with its own private army, blockaded the peaceful planet of Naboo in protest against Republic taxation and trade regulations. The Senate debated while Naboo suffered. Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum, though well intentioned, proved powerless against bureaucracy, corporate influence, and political paralysis. Into this crisis stepped Senator Sheev Palpatine of Naboo. He appeared modest, patient, and reasonable—a politician who understood the value of listening before speaking. But behind the kindly senator hid Darth Sidious, the Sith Master who had inherited Darth Bane’s hidden legacy. Sidious had not merely benefited from the crisis. He had helped create it. By orchestrating the invasion of Naboo, he weakened the Republic, discredited its leadership, and positioned himself to be elected Supreme Chancellor in the aftermath. The galaxy believed it had chosen a servant of peace. In truth, it had handed power to the man who would destroy it.� Sidious did not act alone. His apprentice, Darth Maul, was a weapon forged in hatred: a Zabrak warrior with red-and-black tattooed skin, horns, and a double-bladed red lightsaber. Maul was silent, precise, and lethal—a living expression of Sidious’s will. He was sent to hunt the Jedi dispatched to Naboo, and in the capital city of Theed he killed Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon Jinn had been unlike most Jedi. A student of Count Dooku, he believed that the Force was alive in the present moment. He trusted instinct as much as doctrine, compassion as much as discipline. To Qui-Gon, rules could become prisons when they replaced wisdom. He was independent, stubborn, and often at odds with the Jedi Council. On Tatooine, he discovered a slave boy named Anakin Skywalker. Anakin was a child of extraordinary mechanical talent and an even more extraordinary connection to the Force. He could build machines almost instinctively. He could sense danger before it arrived. He dreamed of a future beyond the sand and slavery of Tatooine, though he did not yet know how vast that future would become. Qui-Gon believed Anakin might be the Chosen One—the one foretold to bring balance to the Force. The Jedi Council saw danger. Anakin was too old. Too emotional. Too attached. Yet after Qui-Gon’s death, his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, promised to train the boy. Obi-Wan Kenobi became the center of Anakin’s new life. He was everything Qui-Gon had been, but in a different way: disciplined where Qui-Gon had been intuitive, cautious where Qui-Gon had been bold. Obi-Wan had grown up in the Jedi Temple, trained by Qui-Gon, and learned to serve the Order with loyalty and restraint. After Naboo, he became a Jedi Knight and took Anakin as his apprentice, honoring his master’s final wish. Obi-Wan was tall and lean, with reddish-brown hair and a carefully kept beard. He wore the simple robes of the Jedi, and his presence was calm, measured, and quietly commanding. His humor was dry. His convictions were unshakable. He was not the most powerful Jedi of his era, but he may have been one of the wisest. He believed in duty, patience, and self-control. He loved Anakin like a brother, even when Anakin made that love difficult. Anakin grew into a young man of extraordinary power. Tall, athletic, and intense, he became one of the most gifted Jedi the Order had ever seen. His connection to the Force was immense, almost unnatural. He could pilot better than nearly anyone. He could repair machines as though they spoke to him. He fought with a lightsaber with a ferocity that unsettled even his teachers. But his gifts came with shadows. He was proud, impulsive, and easily wounded by criticism. He wanted to protect everyone, and he could not bear the thought of failing them. He feared loss more than death. He feared abandonment more than pain. The relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan became one of the most important in the galaxy. Obi-Wan was teacher, protector, and brother. Anakin was student, rival, and family. They argued, teased, challenged, and disappointed one another. But beneath it all was a bond neither could easily name. Obi-Wan believed he could guide Anakin toward the light. Anakin believed Obi-Wan did not fully understand him. Both were right. Both were wrong. By 22 BBY, the Republic was beginning to break. Count Dooku, a former Jedi Master and former teacher of Qui-Gon Jinn, had left the Order after losing faith in its politics. He became the public face of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, promising worlds freedom from a corrupt and distant Republic. In secret, however, Dooku had become Darth Tyranus, the apprentice of Darth Sidious. The galaxy was being pushed toward war by both sides of the same hidden Sith plan. Dooku was elegant, aristocratic, and terrifyingly intelligent. He did not rage like Maul or scheme with Sidious’s patient cruelty. He persuaded. He spoke of justice, corruption, and the failure of the Republic, and he made even lies sound like truth. His curved-hilt lightsaber became a symbol of his refined cruelty. He was not a monster in the obvious sense. That was what made him dangerous. When war finally erupted on Geonosis, the Republic discovered it had an army it never knew it possessed: clones, grown on Kamino from the genetic template of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. The Jedi became generals overnight. A Republic that had no standing army suddenly commanded millions of soldiers. Democracy did not die in a single moment. It was traded away, battle by battle, in the name of security.� The Clone Wars transformed Anakin and Obi-Wan into legends. Obi-Wan became known as a brilliant strategist and negotiator, respected by clones, Jedi, civilians, and even enemies. Anakin became the Hero With No Fear, a general whose courage seemed limitless and whose victories became stories told across the galaxy. Together, they won battles on distant worlds, in orbital skies, and in the shadows of Coruscant itself. To the public, they were heroes. To each other, they were something more complicated: family shaped by war. But war changed Anakin. Every death, every impossible choice, every friend lost pushed him closer to anger. He began to see the Jedi Council as distant and distrustful. He began to feel that the Republic he served no longer deserved his loyalty. And he began to listen more closely to Chancellor Palpatine, who treated him not as a weapon or a student, but as a friend. Palpatine understood Anakin’s fears, ambitions, and need to be seen. Where the Jedi offered discipline, Palpatine offered understanding. Yoda, the oldest and wisest of the Jedi, watched the galaxy darken with growing unease. Small, green, and ancient, he had trained generations of Jedi and remained the conscience of the Order. Mace Windu, another pillar of the Council, was more rigid and more willing to confront danger directly. Both sensed that something was wrong. Neither could see the full shape of the trap closing around them. As the war continued, Palpatine accumulated emergency powers. The Senate, frightened and exhausted, granted him greater authority with every crisis. The Republic still called itself free, but its institutions were being hollowed out. The Chancellor was becoming more than a leader. He was becoming a symbol. Then a ruler. Then something the galaxy had not seen in a thousand years. By the final years of the Clone Wars, Anakin stood at a crossroads. He was a war hero, a Jedi Knight, and one of the most powerful Force-users alive. He loved Obi-Wan, though he often felt constrained by him. He respected the Jedi, though he no longer fully trusted them. He admired Palpatine, though he did not yet know what hid behind that friendship. Above all, he feared loss. That fear would become the crack through which the dark side would enter. Obi-Wan saw the changes in his apprentice. He saw the anger, the impatience, the hunger for certainty. But he also saw the boy from Tatooine who had once looked at the stars with wonder. He believed Anakin could still choose the light. He believed that love, properly guided, could become strength rather than weakness. He did not yet understand that the galaxy had been arranged, piece by piece, to test exactly that belief. Anakin was no longer simply a Jedi. He was a symbol of the Republic’s hope, a weapon of its war, and the center of a Sith plan older than anyone knew. The Republic was dying. The Jedi were blind. And the Sith were finally ready to return. At the center of it all stood Anakin Skywalker: the Chosen One, the beloved friend, the feared warrior, and the man who would soon have to decide what kind of future the galaxy deserved.The Hidden Cradle Earth is the legendary birthplace of all life in the galaxy: a world woven into Jedi history, ancient prophecy, and religious myth. Yet no one has ever found it. Earth lies at the center of a vast space-time causality anomaly—an immense distortion of space, time, and probability that makes the planet impossible to locate, map, or reach by conventional means. Even those actively searching for it are drawn away by impossible coordinates, corrupted navigational data, or memories that seem to shift the closer they get. To the wider galaxy, humans are almost mythical. They are revered—sometimes feared, sometimes worshipped—as ancient, mysterious beings whose existence shaped countless legends. Entire cultures believe humans were the first sentients, divine architects, or forgotten gods. But the humans of Earth know none of this. They have no idea they are revered across the galaxy. They do not know they are considered divine, ancient, or legendary. They do not know that their homeworld is the supposed birthplace of all life. To them, Earth is simply Earth: ordinary, familiar, and unquestionably real. The Suppressed Force Earth’s natural atmosphere suppresses the Force. On Earth, the Force cannot be consciously accessed, shaped, or controlled in the way Jedi and Sith understand it. It cannot be summoned, sensed clearly, or used for overt displays of power. Because of this, humans never discovered the Force as a distinct metaphysical reality. They never developed Jedi-like traditions, Force-sensitive orders, lightsabers, or any shared understanding of the energy moving through them. But the Force is still present within them. What humans call intuition, conscience, instinct, gut feelings, inspiration, or “the little voice inside their head” is actually the Force expressing itself in a subtle, unconscious form. Humans possess immense latent Force potential, but they experience it only indirectly: as creativity, empathy, moral conviction, uncanny luck, dreams, artistic genius, and an almost supernatural ability to endure. They are unconscious Force-wielders who have no word for the power they carry.

The Floating Humans One detail especially intrigues the Jedi: aboard human space stations, people float freely. At first, Obi-Wan assumes this is due to a lack of artificial gravity. But the truth is stranger. Humans unconsciously use the Force to lift themselves. They do not realize they could remain grounded if they chose to. They float because, on some deep instinctive level, they believe floating is simply how space travel works. Their belief shapes their reality. This revelation horrifies and fascinates the Jedi. Humans are wielding the Force without training, doctrine, or awareness—guided only by collective expectation, imagination, and subconscious belief. It suggests that human Force sensitivity is not weak or dormant, but extraordinarily powerful in a way the Jedi have never encountered. The Jedi’s Perception To Jedi senses, humans appear radiant and almost impossibly perfect. Their presence in the Force is vast, bright, and overwhelming—not because they are consciously powerful, but because their latent potential is immense. Anakin may be especially affected by this. He does not merely see humans as impressive; he feels drawn to them, perhaps even enamored. Their emotional intensity, creativity, and unknowing connection to the Force resonate with parts of himself he does not fully understand. Obi-Wan, by contrast, sees danger as well as wonder. If the galaxy learns that humans are unconscious Force-wielders, they could become targets: worshipped, exploited, experimented on, or feared. The Time Anomaly Inside the anomaly, time passes differently. From Earth’s perspective, only about 1,000 years have passed since what the Jedi call the Creation—the last era they have any reliable knowledge of. To the Jedi, Earth’s most recent known historical period is the Renaissance. Outside the anomaly, however, 20,025 years have passed. This means that a person who is 20 years old on Earth is, by outside-galaxy reckoning, approximately 400.5 years old in relation to the Republic’s timeline. Earth is not merely hidden; it is temporally displaced, preserved in a pocket of history while the rest of the galaxy moved on. To the Jedi, humans are not just an unknown species. They are living relics of an age older than memory—gods who never knew they were gods.
