Star Wars Black Series Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker has 8 Star Wars Black Series figures released between 2014 and 2025 — fewer than some supporting characters but spread across the character’s most dramatically significant moments, from childhood on Tatooine through his fall to the dark side to his Force ghost appearance in the Ahsoka series. Each figure captures a different chapter of the most important arc in the Skywalker saga, and the buying decision is entirely driven by which story era you want to represent on your shelf.

Who Is Anakin Skywalker?

Anakin Skywalker is the prophesied Chosen One — a Force-sensitive slave boy from Tatooine discovered by Qui-Gon Jinn, trained as a Jedi by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and ultimately responsible for both the destruction and the restoration of the Jedi Order. His fall to the dark side in Revenge of the Sith — seduced by Palpatine’s promise of power to save Padme from death, leading to the massacre of the Jedi Temple and his near-death on Mustafar — is the emotional core of the entire prequel trilogy. His redemption in Return of the Jedi, sacrificing himself to save Luke by destroying Palpatine, gives the six-film saga its resolution. His unexpected return in the Ahsoka series as a Force presence guiding his former Padawan added a final live-action chapter to the character’s story. Hayden Christensen’s portrayal, initially controversial in 2002–2005, has been substantially reassessed in the Disney+ era.
