Episode I

Home > Episode I

When George Lucas was going through the writing process for The Empire Strikes Back, he developed the long backstory of Darth Vader, including the humble beginning of Anakin Skywalker on a planet known as Tatooine.  These would spawn the memorable plot twists of Episode V and create the basic storyline for the three prequels.  In Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Anakin Skywalker (not quite yet Darth Vader) is played by Jake Lloyd, who was 9 at the time.  He played an innocent role, so innocence could be lost in the future.

Enjoy the many quotes of Anakin Skywalker from Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
