Anakin Skywalker was a Force-sensitive male Human from Tatooine. Prior to the Soul Wars, he had been a famously heroic Jedi Knight who served the Galactic Republic; eventually, he fell to the dark side and struck fear upon the galaxy as the Sith Lord Darth Vader, serving the Galactic Empire as Emperor Palpatine's Sith apprentice and top enforcer.
During the Soul Wars, Vader was charged with the task of retrieving Soul Edge for his master.
Biography[]
Before the Soul Wars (41.9 BBY-4 ABY)[]
Soulcalibur x Star Wars canon uses existing Star Wars canon up to the events of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. For information on Anakin prior to the game's events, please see Anakin Skywalker on Wookieepedia.
Soul Wars (4 ABY and 1591 AD)[]

Darth Vader during the Soul Wars.
Vader was a prominent figure during the Soul Wars. Palpatine began the war by sending Vader to an alternate dimension containing the planet Earth in order to retrieve the cursed sword Soul Edge; however, Vader devised an elaborate scheme to use the sword to overthrow Palpatine and gain total control over the Empire.
At one point, Vader would redeem himself and, thanks to Soul Calibur's intervention, become a rejuvenated Anakin Skywalker once again.
Behind the scenes[]
Darth Vader's story in Soulcalibur x Star Wars is currently under development in the form of fan fiction.
Vader and Anakin are two distinct playable characters in Soulcalibur x Star Wars, with Vader returning from Soulcalibur IV.
As a Sith Lord, Vader is voiced by Matt Sloan in English and Norio Wakamoto in Japanese, replacing Toru Ohira from the previous game (Koichi Yamadera, in turn, replaces Wakamoto as Lando Calrissian). As a Jedi Knight, Anakin is voiced by Matt Lanter in English and Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese.
