Hey! I'm new to this message board, though it doesn't look like it's gotten many visitors, but I'm still hoping someone can answer my question. I just saw Star Wars today, and I was really confused about who Anakin Skywalker(Jake Lloyd) grows up to be. I always thought he grows up to be Darth Vader and father Luke Skywalker, but all my friends say that young Anakin is really young Luke. I've never been a very big fan of the Star Wars trilogy, and I haven't seen through all the movies, so I was hoping someone could lend me a hand. Thanks!

Kelly:

You are correct. Anakin becomes Vader.

Hmmmm...

Not too many people here, is there?

Kelly's question reminded me about taking my nine-year-old to see PM. She absolutely loved Anakin and was positively heartbroken to learn he would grow up to be Darth Vader. The look of sheer disbelief on her face upon finding out was priceless ;)
