When the action of one’s doing to prevent something ends up being the catalyst for its occurrence. For example, if I set out to save a fish, and my attempt to save the fish ends up getting the fish killed, then this is Anakin’s Paradox.
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith really showcases Anakin’s Paradox.

Get the Anakin’s Paradox mug.
Well known as being the innocent boy who turns into the pinnacle of all evil. He breaks vital rules that a jedi must obey, and in doing this, seals his fate of turning to the 'Dark side'.
It is his love for his wife Padme that causes him this change.
A Jedi Shall not know anger, nor hatred, nor love.
Anakin knows all these things that he should not.
He is actually the victim of the Star Wars saga, we learn this from the prequels. It is rather sad.
He is 'the chosen one', the one who will bring the force back into balance.
Padme Amidala: It must be difficult being a jedi, not being able to go to the places you like. Or do the things you like...

Anakin Skywalker: Or be with the people I love?

Padme Amidala: Are you allowed to love? I thought that was forbidden for a jedi?

Anakin Skywalker: Attatchment is forbidden. Possesion is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, essential to a jedi's life. So you might say, that, we are encouraged to love.

Anakin Skywalker is a romantic, beautful, and tragic hero of legend in the Star Wars saga. Often called Ani by his love ones. He is 'The Chosen One' of the jedi prophecy, Anakin defied the jedi code by following his heart and marrying his true love the beautiful Padme Amidala, which eventually led to him becoming Darth Vader. It was Anakin's love for Padme and his fear of losing her that caused him to become the apprentice of Darth Sidious otherwise known as Palpatine or the Emperor. His attempt however proved to be in vain when due to Anakins turn to the darkside Padme died of a broken heart in child birth just as she had in Anakin's dream but not before giving birth to Luke and Leia Skywalker and telling Obi Wan that she believed there was 'still good in him'. Anakin was burned on the planet Mustafar which caused him to become more machine than man and it was believed that the true Anakin was lost forever. It was Anakins love for Luke which in the end redeemed his soul when he destroyed the Emperor also destroying himself. This brought the force back into balance and Anakin fulfilled his true destiny of being the Chosen One.Anakin was restored to his youth as a force ghost and was reunited with his true love in the netherworld of the force.
Anakin Skywalker: I won't lose you Padme
Padme Amidala: I'm not going to die in childbirth Ani, I promise you.
Anakin Skywalker: No I promise you!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!
Darth Vader: I HATE YOU!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you!

Luke Skywalker: I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father.
Darth Vader: That name no longer has any meaning for me!
Luke Skywalker: It is the name of your true self. You've only forgotten. I know there is good in you.

The main protagonist of the STAR WARS saga. He was known as 'THE CHOSEN ONE', one who would bring balance to the force. Unfortunately, due to his wreckless behavior and loss of loved ones, he was seduced by the dark side of the force lured by the evil Emperor Palpatine. From that he was given the Sith name DARTH VADER, whom he killed many Jedi Knights under the aid of Order 66 and transformed the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire. He was responsible for the construction of both Death Stars and was successfully redeemed by his son, Luke Skywalker.
Anakin Skywalker: I'm not the Jedi I should be, I want more...but I know I shouldn't.

Emperor Palpatine: The force is strong with you, a powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth...Vader.

Obi-Wan: You were the Chosen One! It was said you would bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!

When a character gets their arm cut off or destroyed slightly above or below the elbow and have it replaced with realistic looking and acting fake instead of just a prosthetic. Not to be confused with getting Luke Skywalker'd as that only refers to losing a hand.
Person 1: Hey, why does Naruto have a part of his arm all bandaged up?
Person 2: It's because he has a fake arm. The real one was lost in a fight.
Person 1: HE GOT ANAKIN SKYWALKER'D!?! NICE!
