Star Wars: Every Jedi Who Turned To The Dark Side

10. Anakin Skywalker

By now, we should all know the story of Anakin Skywalker. He was born into slavery on the planet of Tatooine. The circumstances of young Skywalker's birth are shrouded in mystery, but Anakin still ended up being one of the most powerful Force-sensitive beings in the universe.

His childhood wasn't the best; he was a slave, after all. But, he did find an avenue to escape his life as servitude. Early in his youth, Anakin set off on a career that could have been the most fantastic adventure of his life. He was fated to become one of the greatest Podracers the galaxy had ever known.

Anakin's budding career as a Podracer was cut short when two Jedi showed up on his planet and won young Anakin in a bet with his slavemaster. The two Jedi recognized Anakin as a powerful Force user. These Jedi were like, "Hey, check out this emotionally damaged child. Let's rip him from his mother's arms, give him a weapon, and teach him that emotional attachment is immoral."

Somehow, this brilliant plan blew up in the Jedis' face. Anakin turned to the dark side and made it his life's work to hunt down and kill all Jedi. Look, Darth Vader was a messed up dude. We all know that, but can we also agree that the Jedi kind of had it coming?
