Star Wars Vintage Anakin Skywalker

While most of this blog focuses on vintage Star Wars toys, we do cover newer and novelty toys as well. One category of game that has seen a lot of innovation is the game of chess. There are plenty of new and old (not so much vintage) Star Wars chess games available out there.

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.
