skywalker

In fiction writing, to completely alter a character's established personality in a negative way, particularly if the character is very popular.

Wonder Woman was completely skywalkered in the 70s in a misguided attempt to appeal to Avengers fans and copy Marvel's formula for success.

Anakin Skywalker

The prophesied chosen one who brought balance. He was fatherless and had the most midichlorians ever recorded, exceeding 20000, and was apprenticed under Jedi Master and High Jedi General Obi Wan Kenobi of the Third Systems Army. He was knighted during the Clone War conflict, and was the renowned General of the 501st Battalion (later 501st Legion of the Galactic Empire as Darth Vader), which was also lead by Clone Commander CT-7567 "Rex" and Former Jedi Commander and Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Skywalker's apprentice. He later turned to the dark side and became the Sith lord Darth Vader, and fought his former master on the planet Mustafar. He lost the duel, lost his limbs and was reduced to an angry, crispy man who struggled to breathe in his black, pressurised suit after he burned. He was later redeemed by his son, Luke Skywalker, destroying Vader and his master, Darth Sidious, eradicating the Sith once and for all.

Anakin Skywalker is a cool general who treats his Clones like men

Pulling a Skywalker

An act in which a person very nearly enters into a sexual relationship with someone who, unbeknownst to them, is a close relative, ala Luke and Leia.

Hey, it happens. You can also say "Pulled a Skywalker", as in, "So-and-so almost Pulled a Skywalker with so-and-so."

For example:

Henry: "'Sup, Jay. Man, did you hear about Mike?"
Jay: "Naw. What happened?"
Henry: "Well, apparently that hot blonde chick he was going out with the past few weeks... was his first cousin!"
Jay: "WHAT??!!"
Henry: "Yeah! Dude almost got caught Pulling a Skywalker with his own cousin and didn't even know it!"
Jay: "Hahaha! Man, Mike's lucky the worst thing they did was make out a few times!"
