To encourage your young or old one's interest in Star Wars, why not browse through some of the available Star Wars fabric? My wife has recently been on a crafty kick, and she's gone to work on some theme elements. My "play" room now features a brand spanking new pair of Star Wars curtains (and a Pez blanket :) ). Thanks for stopping by our vintage Star Wars toys blog.

Anakin Skywalker came from humble origins. He spent the first years of his life on Tatooine as a slave along with his mother. Skywalker later met a Jedi by the name of Qui-Gon Jinn. After obtaining his freedom, Jinn took Skywalker and departed from Tatooine, though they had to leave Shmi Skywalker behind, something her son always resented. Skywalker took part in the Battle of Naboo, destroying the Droid Control Station despite his young age. Soon after, he joined the Jedi Order, becoming a Padawan to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Skywalker was believed to be the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy, one who would bring balance to The Force by destroying the Sith, which was why the Jedi Council chose to bend the Jedi Code and permit his training.
