The 10 Essential Anakin Skywalker Stories Outside The Movies

As the central character of the Star Wars saga, Anakin Skywalker has several stories outside the movies that are just as essential to his overarching narrative. Each new story provides an opportunity to develop Anakin's character in different ways and make his timeline more cohesive. Some stories cover gaps between the films, others reveal secrets about his life, and all of them explore his relationships with important Star Wars characters. Gaps that haven't been filled in canon can be found in the Legends continuity, adding greater variety and detail to the Star Wars saga's most important character.
These stories also make the Star Wars movies more enjoyable by enhancing Anakin's development. Whereas the original Star Wars trilogy focused on Luke Skywalker becoming a Jedi as a young adult, the prequel trilogy had to show Anakin at three very distinct points in his life. He begins as a kind and optimistic boy, grows into a powerful, yet troubled young man, and ends as a disfigured Sith Lord encased in armor. The number of tales that expand on each stage of Anakin's life improves his film arc and adds greater tragedy to Darth Vader's actions, and for this reason, 10 Anakin Skywalker stories have become essential to Star Wars.
