I am Anakin Skywalker, Blog -- friends only

My poetry about Anakin -- public

Interests, Anakin Skywalker

After watching Revenge of the Sith recently, and repeatedly, it's becoming increasingly clear to me that there are strong parallels between my own life and that of Anakin Skywalker in this movie.  I could say this about the entire Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, but it's much stronger in Episode III  (and Episode II) than in Episode I.  This analogy is not always flattering, but I feel a real sense of affinity for the character.  Sure the plots is a bit out of order, and one big difference is that although I flirted with the Dark Side, I came back.  Still I struggle, particularly with anger issues, which often cloud my judgment, for years at a time even, all without my knowing it; well, and no Padme.  For details on how this analogy works for me, I'm afraid you'll have to become a dear friend and get access to the blog at left.

It's because of this affinity that I've developed a bit of an obsession about the character, and so, to feed that obsession, what I intend to post here are photos and images I've collected from around the web regarding the Anakin I find familiar, and the moments of his life I find familiar... and some just because they look cool.  After saving many of these images from the Internet I seem to have lost my list of credits for them.  If you see any images here that you wish to claim responsibility for, or to have me provide a link to the original source, please just let me know and I'll be happen to add the information.
