Star Warsfan art   imaginesLuke Skywalkermeeting an old , bearded Anakin who never turned to the drab side . With 2019’sRise of Skywalker , the so - call “ Skywalker saga ” was at last roll up after four decades and nine picture show spanning three trilogy .

That sprawl saga of course kicked off with 1977 ’s originalStar warfare , which introduced the desperate Luke Skywalker as portrayed by Mark Hamill . Over the track of the first trilogy , fans launch out the true relationship between Skywalker and evil Sith LordDarth Vader , and watch Vader ’s ultimate salvation in the trilogy capperReturn of the Jedi . George Lucas ’ saga afterwards picked up again with the prequel trilogy , beginning with 1999’sThe Phantom Menace , which went far back inStar Warslore to depictAnakin Skywalker – the future Darth Vader – as a young boy . That trilogy would of course climax withRevenge of the Sith , which showed Anakin ’s transformation into the half - homo / half - machine Vader after his   lava - planet lightsaber affaire d’honneur with Obi - Wan Kenobi .

roil down such an epic tale as theStar Warsnine - cinema Hz into one single post horse might seem like a daunting task , but rooter artistYadvender Singh Ranahas pull it off with his raw workplace that brings together three iterations of Luke and three of Anakin , including an picture of an old , bearded Anakin that imagines what the fictional character might have looked like had he never been turned to the grim side and transformed intoVader . See the art in the space below :

As fans know , the only time audiences ever get to see an older Anakin Skywalker in the movies was after Luke removed Vader ’s helmet in the dramatic net second ofReturn of the Jedito let out his scarred nerve , and then briefly in the same movie as a Force trace alongside Yoda and Obi - Wan ( George Lucas of course altered this shot in the later exceptional version , replacing actor Sebastian Shaw with young Anakin actorHayden Christensen ) . In the above art though , Anakin does not become marred and gets to grow sure-enough as Luke did in the sequel trilogy . Obviously , had things gone   this way of life for Anakin , Luke ’s own tale would have been very different as he never would ’ve face Vader as an opponent , and indeed would presumably have grown up with Anakin as his Padre alternatively of being raised by foster parent on Tatooine .

Of course , in this alternate non - Vader Anakin timeline there ’s actually no story at all , since Anakin ’s transformation into Vader is the central event of the entire saga , and lead to everything that hap in the originalStar Warstrilogyand , indirectly , the subsequence trilogy . Ultimately , a happy course for Anakin was just not in the cards , though thankfully he did achieve a measure of redemption inJedi , with help from his long - fall back son and former resister Luke .
