As the bitter Clone Wars drag on,
a weary Galactic Republic looks for heroes to strengthen their hope in the long,
grim darkness. Seemingly invincible and without fear, the Republic's poster boy
is young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Of humble birth and childhood, Anakin was
a slave on the Outer Rim backwater world of Tatooine before his discovery by
Obi-Wan Kenobi and subsequent induction into the Order of the Jedi. His has been
a remarkable journey, from slave to Jedi Knight, and in his few years, he has
lived and fought more than almost any Jedi alive. Amphitheatres of battle on a
hundred different worlds have been the classes of Anakin's schooling and have
tested his character like no training the ancient Jedi could have devised.
But within the heart of the Republic's favorite son, a growing firestorm is
gathering strength. The corrosive effects of the conflict have tarnished the
idealism of the Jedi way. Anakin has seen death and suffered often in the long
war. His duel with the would-be Sith assassin Asajj Ventress and the
dismemberment inflicted upon him by Count Dooku have left him scarred, but his
inner wounds are more extensive still. Misgivings and doubt, fueled by fear of
loss and by pride, gnaw at Anakin Skywalker. His secret love and marriage to
Senator Amidala fosters a quiet resentment of the stark law of the Order, which
forbids such attachments. The fear of losing those he loves, a seed planted with
the death of his mother and nourished by prophetic nightmares, begins to drive
Anakin's actions. And ever in his ear, the softly spoken praise of the Supreme
Chancellor stokes the fires of a young man's vanity, insidiously wilting his
Jedi humility, burning a wedge between him and his dearest friend and mentor,
Obi-Wan Kenobi. Is he not the Chosen One, the greatest Jedi to have ever lived?
Why, then, should he be bound by rules designed to limit his power?
As the war enters its final days, the fiery turmoil within Anakin Skywalker
gathers strength. Loyalties and agendas tear at him from all sides. Conflicting
demands are made of him and sacrifices begged. Though he knows it not, the
Republic's hopeful savior holds the fate of the galaxy in his hands. His choice
governs the coming storm, until finally, the tempest consumes him. Unleashed
upon the galaxy is a seemingly unstoppable scourge. Deceived by his own turmoil,
Anakin Skywalker turns to the Dark Side, bound by the power of the Sith.
