Anakin Skywalker. Born in Tatooine to slave mother Shmi Skywalker. It is common belief that Anakin had no father and was born through way of the force (in a kind of jesus like way) instead of illegitimacy. At an early age he showed much promise in the force. Jedi master Qui gon jinn discovered him and took him to the Jedi council where he was tested by the masters. Although he showed great potential, he also had grown strong attatchments to his mother, something that the jedi council claimed could lead to the darkside. Regarded too old to join, the council told master Qui gon jinn that they would not train the boy. Adamant that he was the one that had been prophesised to bring back balance to the force by the jedi elders, Qui Gon said he would train the boy anyway. This defiance from Qui Gon may have been something Anakin had picked up on early. After the death of master Qui Gon, Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi keeps his promise that he will train Anakin. After Obi-Wan Kenobi is made a Jedi Knight he takes Anakin under his wing. During this time Anakin became close with then Queen Padme Amidala. After ten years the two are finally re-united and Anakin confesses he has became besotted and has dreamt about the senator every night for ten years. Anakin is then assigned to protect her after a failed assassination attempt on her. During this time the two grow close and become star-crossed lovers, much like Romeo and Juliet. In defiance to the jedi way, Anakin marries Padme Amidala ...
