!!Kalifa, O-Mer, and Jinx

->'''Portrayed by:''' Gwendoline Yeo (Kalifa), Creator/CamClarke (O-Mer), Sunil Malhotra (Jinx)

Three Jedi Younglings who had been kidnapped by Trandoshan sportshunters sometime preceding or during the Clone Wars. By the time the simiarly captured Ahsoka arrived on the island they were held, the three of them were losing hope, as their strength was enough only to hide and try to avoid being shot down for as long as possible.

* AlmightyJanitor: Jinx can use JediMindTrick, despite being a youngling who had been kidnapped before he was even made a Padawan (granted it [[PercussiveMaintenance took some help from Chewbacca to work]]). Kalifa, techically also a youngling, was able to lift and strangle a Trandoshan using [[MindOverMatter Force grip]]. Could be handwaved with the extremely hard fight to survive on the Trandoshan hunting island, which required them to develop faster, than usual.
* {{Badass}}: Merely surviving that jungle for so long qualifies all three of them.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jinx can be very sarcastic at times:
-->'''Ahsoka:''' [Chewbacca] says his homeworld is very close.
-->'''Jinx:''' That's great, but it might as well be Coruscant as far as I'm concerned. We have no ship.
-->'''Ahsoka:''' ''(translating Chewie's angry growling)'' He thinks he can contact his home planet, if we find a way to transmit a signal.
--> '''Jinx''': Right, and how would we do that? Send smoke signals?

* TheLancer: Jinx was acting as this to both Kalifa, and Ahsoka.

* PowerTrio
* RubberForeheadAliens: Jinx is a Twi'lek and O-Mer is a Cerean.

* UseYourHead: In a CombinationAttack with Jinx, O-Mer headbutted one of the Trandoshans.
* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled: Kalifa's been held on the hunting island for the longest time, and has statedly out-lived Padawan-learners, despite being only youngling herself. She also told the older and better-trained Ahsoka in her face, that she had the experince in surviving the hunt. Naturally she's killed soon after Ahsoka's arrival. Subverted in that, she was expert in avoiding the trandoshans as much as possible, and she died when they were ambushed while scouting ''after'' the trandoshan's base.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''

The top students of their class, this group of younglings were introduced when they participated the Gathering, a RiteOfPassage, during which they harvested their own lightsaber-crystals. During the rite, they had to face, and overcome their shortcomings and weaknesses. Afterwards they learnt how to built their first lightsabers from Professor Huyang. Their training in the Temple is apparently overseen by Tera Sinube.

* FashionableAsymmetry: She does the long sleeve/no sleeve version of the trope.

A Jedi doctor stationed at the Jedi Temple, Nema examined Master Yoda after he began hearing voices through the Force.

* TheMedic: She is a trained doctor and skilled in the Force, and the Council thinks highly enough of her skills to turn to her to find out if anything is wrong with Yoda.
* NiceHat: Wears an elaborate headdress that frames her entire head. It is unknown if it is covering up hair or [[RubberForeheadAlien some bizarre alien physiology]].
* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Yellow-Skinned Space Babe]]: She looks like a human, except for her yellow skin and golden eyes.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/AshleyEckstein

-->''"I'm a Jedi Knight! ...Or soon will be."''

A female Togruta who is assigned as Anakin Skywalker's Padawan learner during the Clone Wars. Though Anakin is initially dismissive towards her, she grows under his mentorship from a headstrong young student into a mature leader.

* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabes Yellow-Skinned Space Babes]]: She looks like a human, except for her yellow skin and golden eyes.

** Dismissing Qui-Gon's warning about the return of the Sith, and not giving him reinforcements to protect Queen Amidala, when she decided to return to Naboo, and solve the Trade Federation occupation herself. This ended up causing Qui-Gon's death at the hand of Darth Maul, and led to leaving the very emotional Anakin to be trained by the freshly knighted and unprepaired Obi-Wan.

** Lying to the emotionally unstable Anakin, that his father figure died.
** Training and backing guerrila-esque freedom-fighters to overthrow a legitimate government.
** Abandoning one of their own, based upon circumstantial evidence that she committed treason because the Senate put some pressure on them in the matter.
** Doubting ''Yoda's'' sanity and putting him under constant surveillance, when he claimed that he had contacted the dead, simply because they were ''that'' convinced it's impossible to maintain their identity beyond death.

* WhatTheHellHero: ''The Clone Wars'' often went out of it's way to have various characters call the Order, particularly the Council, out for their dubious actions:

* {{Ascended Extra}}s: The EU, and especially ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', take the time to turn the background Jedi fully fleshed out characters.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Between ''Attack Of The Clones'' and ''Revenge Of The Sith'', Tholothian Adi Gallia and Zabrak Eeth Koth are switched out on the Council by two other Jedi of the same species, Stass Allie and Agen Kolar, respectively. You'd have to pay extra close attention to notice, and even then, the characters are so minor in the films it doesn't even change much of anything in the movies (though Gallia has the excuse of being [[CharacterDeath killed off]] in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'').

* Seers[=/=]MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: The Force often grants it's users premonitons or even visions of the past, future or far away places. However, the Jedi's ability to do so is severly diminished during the time of the Clone Wars, due to the Dark Side clouding their senses.

* GeneralFailure: The way he commands, you'd think he's ''trying'' to lose. Which, it turns out he was.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He gave one or two signs that he ''might'' not have been quite as bad as he seemed. [[TheReveal Then]]...

* LightIsNotGood: Before TheReveal, you could easily assume he's just a Jedi that puts more emphasis on "no personal attachments" and a lot less on being compassionate.
** DarkIsEvil: After the reveal, it's confirmed that he has fallen to the Dark Side.

* OneManArmy: He managed to cut through ''dozens'' of clone troopers] without much difficulty.

* AnAesop: All the kids have to learn one to get their crystals.

* ChildrenAreInnocent

** While building his lightsaber, he exclaimed that he'll challenge Obi-Wan to a duel with it. Later when Obi-Wan answered their distress call, he went '''[[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee "The]]''' [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee General Kenobi?"]]

* SmallNameBigEgo: Petro

* MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: Just read it out loud. "I'm gonna die."

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Between ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', [[NiceHat Tholothian]] Adi Gallia and [[HornedHumanoid Zabrak]] Eeth Koth are switched out on the Council by two other Jedi of the same species, Stass Allie and Agen Kolar, respectively. You'd have to pay extra close attention to notice, and even then, the characters are so minor in the films it doesn't even change much of anything in the movies (though Gallia has the excuse of being [[CharacterDeath killed off]] in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'').

* LongNeck: Yarael Poof, a Council member in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. WordOfGod says he was written out of the other prequels to avoid confusion with the similarly long-necked Kaminoans.

* {{Ambadassador}}: He and Obi-Wan are sent to negotiate with the Trade Federation at the start of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. He luckily has his lightsaber with him when the Federation prove themselves in no mood for negotiations.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: According to Yoda at the end of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Qui-Gon managed to retain his consciousness and achieve immortality after his death.

* BadassGrandpa: Drafts of the ''Phantom Menace'' script have his age at 60.

* DecoyProtagonist: Of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. He gets top billing, takes up a sizable amount of space on the poster, and has the most influence and screentime out of the heroes in the movie, but it's all to set up Anakin as the true protagonist.

* FamousLastWords: "Obi-Wan... promise me you will train the boy. He... is the Chosen One... he will bring balance. Train him."

* TheObiWan: Notably serves as this to [[TropeNamer the man himself]], no less, as well as to Anakin in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.
* OldMaster: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', Qui-Gon is the first maverick master seen on-screen (chronologically), at odds with the Jedi Council but respected nonetheless. He trained Obi-Wan and was the person most accountable for introducing Anakin Skywalker to the way of the Jedi, [[HarsherInHindsight all things considered]].

->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' / ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars''

* CanonImmigrant: A rather interesting one. He was a nameless background character in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', with about five seconds of screen-time, and was not intended to be Jedi. However the EU picked him up, and Lucas liked the comics involving Vos so much that he planned on adding him to ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', but the scene was ultimately cut. He finally appeared in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'', integrating him into the series canon.

* CanonImmigrant: He first appeared in a comicbook, and the episode "Nightsisters" integrated him into the series' canon.

* SameStoryDifferentNames: His role is very similar to Qui-Gon Jinn's role in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'': They both rescued a slave child on a remote CrapsackWorld, who was very powerful in the Force, took, or attempted to take them as their apprentices, without the Council's approval and despite it's disapproval respectively, they both died before they could finish the training of the children, and both apprentices eventually fell to the Dark Side.

* ParentalSubstitute: He took in Ventress -who just lost the only "family" she had her slaver master- as his apprentice, and raised her since she was a small child.

* SacrificialLion: He was only needed to remind everyone how dangerous and nasty Cad Bane is.

* BadassInDistress: In "Legacy of Terror", where she was captured by Geonosian zombies and needed to be saved by Anakin and Obi-Wan.

* BadassTeacher: He drew his lightsaber and stood protectively in front of the Younglings he had been training, during [[spoiler: Anakin's duel with the traitorous Barriss Offee.]]

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Becomes particularly clear in "Heroes on Both Sides", where she sums up the war, as "the Separatists are evil, and they (the Republic and the Jedi) must stop them", and can't grasp the idea of why the Senate is wasting time debating bank-(de)regulations. After meeting Mina and Lux Bonteri, she realises and invokes that the war is [[BlackAndGrayMorality not as black and white as she thought]].

* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the series she grows from a cheeky, stubborn and rash youngster to a serious, level-headed and dependable young woman.

* CaptainObviousReveal: Most of the viewers correctly guessed that she was the traitor who blew up the Temple hangar and framed Ahsoka.

* KnightTemplar: Her reasoning against the Jedi's involvement in the war is sound and just, but resorting to terrorism and deception to get her point through made her even worse, than what she claimed to have been fighting against.

* NiceGirl: She helped Ashoka when no else would and was understanding about it. It was a façade.

* TheCameo: They were seen practicing lightsaber-wielding with Tera Sinube in "The Wrong Jedi" [[spoiler: during Anakin's duel with Barriss]].

** Katooni pulls one on Hondo in "A Necessary Bond", convincing him to go back and rescue Ahsoka and the other younglings from Grievous. [[spoiler: He does, even though he has nothing to gain from it.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarCharacter: Between ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', [[NiceHat Tholothian]] Adi Gallia and [[HornedHumanoid Zabrak]] Eeth Koth are switched out on the Council by two other Jedi of the same species, Stass Allie and Agen Kolar, respectively. You'd have to pay extra close attention to notice, and even then, the characters are so minor in the films it doesn't even change much of anything in the movies (though Gallia has the excuse of being [[CharacterDeath killed off]] in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'').

A legendary Jedi Knight who trained Anakin Skywalker and served as a general in the Clone Wars. Left as one of the last surviving Jedi following the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Obi-Wan goes into exile on Tatooine as the aging hermit "Ben Kenobi" and becomes a mentor to Anakin's son, Luke.

* ActuallyIAmHim: In ''Film/ANewHope'', Luke knows him as "Ben Kenobi" and asks him if he knows anyone by the name of "Obi-Wan".
-->'''Obi-Wan:''' Well, of ''course'' I know him; he's me!
* {{Ambadassador}}: He's even [[TheRedBaron nicknamed]] "The Negotiator" during the Clone Wars due to both his skill at diplomacy, and for his skills as a warrior.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Willingly allows himself to be killed by Darth Vader to become one with the Force, enabling him to continue mentoring Luke.
* TheAtoner: For training the man who destroyed the Jedi Order and never recognizing the threat Anakin really represented.
* {{Badass}}: The only Jedi to have fought ''three'' powerful Sith Lords and lived to tell the tale. He defeated two of them.
* BadassBeard: For that "mature gentleman" look when on a mission.
* BadassBookworm: An intelligent, cultured gentleman who can kick a lot of ass when the time for it comes.
* BadassGrandpa: Still retains some fighting skill despite his age in ''Film/ANewHope''.
* BashBrothers: With Anakin during the Clone War, before Anakin does a FaceHeelTurn.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Satine. They can barely spend five minutes together without snarking at each other, but both admit to still being in love, even if their respective duties prevent a relationship.
** UnresolvedSexualTension: Possibly. While they do not pursue a relationship in the series, it's left ambiguous as to whether their relationship might have been more intimate when they first knew each other.
* BerserkButton: When Maul throws [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Qui-Gon's death]] in Obi-Wan's face during their duel in "Revenge", Obi-Wan ''loses it''. Maul even lampshades it.
-->'''Maul:''' Your rage has unbalanced you. [[DeadpanSnarker That is not the Jedi way, is it]]?
** He doesn't get visibly angry, but when Obi-Wan sees that Satine is in danger in "The Lawless", he actually [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness defies the Jedi Council]], and goes to Mandalore to help her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Described in the ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' novelization as "the ultimate Jedi" partially because he is "modest, centered and always kind". Nonetheless, if you push him far enough (like taking part in the murder of almost his entire "family", ie. the Jedi Order, including innocent children), he is prepared to hack off your limbs and leave you alone to slowly burn to death.
* BigBrotherInstinct: To Anakin, especially in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Anakin. He even refers to Anakin as his brother in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', while Anakin tells him he is [[ParentalSubstitute like a father to him]] in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
%%* BigGood: Alongside Yoda in the classic trilogy.
* BigNo: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', after Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul.
%%* BondOneLiner: ''"So uncivilized."''
* CainAndAbel: With Anakin, with Obi-Wan being the Abel to Anakin's Cain. This is more evident and obvious at the end of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' when Obi-Wan refers to Anakin as his brother and that he loved him before he turned to TheDarkSide.
* TheChessmaster: He attempts to steer Luke towards destroying Darth Vader throughout the original trilogy by keeping information from him. It fails, but ends up working for the better when Luke redeems Vader instead.
* CombatPragmatist: In "Revival", Obi-Wan kicks Savage's knee out from behind him before chopping his arm off.
* CoolHelmet: He gets one as part of his Rako Hardeen disguise, and it's based on old Ralph [=McQuarrie=] concept art for Boba Fett's helmet.
* CoolStarship: He pilots some pretty nifty starfighters in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', despite his slight aversion to flying.
* CoolSword: His blue lightsaber.
* CynicalMentor: To Anakin again. Despite this, he still seemed pretty shocked when Anakin falls to TheDarkSide.
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially in the prequel trilogy. Creator/EwanMcGregor's Alec Guinness impersonation managed to produce some of the driest irony ever captured on celluloid.
-->'''Obi-Wan''': That's your plan? Just fly in there, land, hope they don't spot us, and walk through the door?
-->'''Anakin''': Basically.
-->'''Obi-Wan''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, brilliant]]. Let's get going.
** Also:
-->'''Obi-Wan''': You seem a bit on edge.
-->'''Anakin''': There's a good chance that we're about to destroy all life on this planet, including ours and the senator's. So ''yes'', I'm a bit on edge! Why aren't you?
-->'''Obi-Wan''': ''(shrugs)'' I'm better at hiding it.
* DeceptiveLegacy: Obi-Wan tells Luke his father is dead. [[MetaphoricallyTrue It all depends on your point of view]]. He turns out to be Darth Vader, but from Obi-Wan's point of view, [[DeathOfPersonality his friend Anakin died]] after the events of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
%%* TheDeterminator
%%* {{Deuteragonist}}: Especially in the prequels.
* DoesNotLikeGuns: Until he's [[CombatPragmatist forced to use one]] against Grievous. Even though one saved his life, he still quickly throws it away in disgust over how uncivilized it was.
%%* DoomedByCanon: Or rather, obligated to stay alive to be killed by Vader in the original trilogy.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In "The Lawless", he poses as a Death Watch soldier in order to rescue Satine.
* DualWielding: He pulls this off on occasion, such as in his duel with Grievous in "Grievous Intrigue" (using an electrostaff), while fighting Cad Bane in "The Hunt for Zior" (with Quinlan Vos' lightsaber), and in his second fight with Maul and Savage in "Revival" (using the late Adi Gallia's lightsaber).
* EnemyMine: Teams up with Asajj Ventress to fight Darth Maul and Savage Opress in the season 4 finale.
** He joins forces with Bo-Katan in "The Lawless" in order to escape Mandalore.
* ElegantWeaponForAMoreCivilizedAge: TropeNamer when discussing the Lightsaber with Luke in ''Film/ANewHope''.
* TheExile: Went into self-imposed exile on Tatooine to watch over Luke from afar under the Empire's radar.
* FakingTheDead: As part of his infiltration in the Deception arc.
* FantasticRacism: He does not consider droids to be "alive" despite evidence of droids having personalities and feelings.
* TheFettered: Jedi are this as a rule, but Obi-Wan explicitly mentions the strength that comes from resisting the lure of TheDarkSide during his conversation with [[spoiler:Darth Maul]] in "The Lawless".
* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Why do I think you're going to be the death of me, Anakin?"
* FourStarBadass: As with every Jedi Knight, he was given the rank of "Jedi General" within the Clone Army.
%%* GenreSavvy
* GentlemanSnarker: Obi-Wan's polite, diplomatic demeanor can mask some pretty biting snark.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Obi-Wan prefers to settle conflict diplomatically. Emphasis on ''[[{{Badass}} prefers]]''.
* GradualGrinder: During his second battle against them, Maul and Savage were unable to break his defense while he continued kicking Savage in the knee at each opportunity until it finally gave out.
* GroinAttack: Anakin subjected Obi-Wan to it while the latter was undercover as his own supposed murderer, Rako Hardeen.
* GuileHero: He prefers to talk (or otherwise [[JediMindTrick persuade]]) his way out of a predicament over using a lightsaber, which has earned him the InUniverse nickname "the Negotiator".
* HeartbrokenBadass: He doesn't let it show too much, but Obi-Wan is clearly heartbroken over Satine's death at the hands of Maul.
* TheHero: While ultimately the saga as a whole is about Anakin, Obi-Wan is quite clearly the main heroic character of the prequel trilogy to Luke's original.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Like all Jedi, Obi-Wan uses a lightsaber as his WeaponOfChoice.
* HeroicBSOD: Two:
** Goes through a brief one when Maul murders Duchess Satine.
** In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Obi-Wan slowly falls into one as he and Yoda see the full extent of the massacre in the Jedi Temple. He's tipped over the edge when he sees a hologram proving that Anakin is responsible but, being [[TheStoic Obi]]-[[TheDeterminator Wan]], manages to keep going and [[TragicBromance fight the man]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners he's loved as a brother]]. He finally lets his emotions come out after he's defeated Vader and, although he keeps going, it's clear from that point onwards that he has ''never'' gotten over what happened to Anakin.
* HermitGuru: In ''Film/ANewHope'', Obi-Wan is an old Jedi Master who has lived in Tattoine for the past twenty years. He, alongside Yoda, does his part in training Luke to become a Jedi Knight.
* HeroicSacrifice: A subtler version when he throws the fight against Vader to allow his friends to escape.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Anakin, after the latter becomes a Jedi Knight. The novelization of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' in particular really brings out the closeness of their friendship.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Luke [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out]] in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' for lying that Vader killed his father, but Obi-Wan calmly rationalizes that what he told Luke was true, [[MetaphoricallyTrue from a certain point of view]]: as far as he is concerned, the good man that was Anakin [[DeathOfPersonality died]] when he took up the mantle of a Sith Lord.
%%* JacobMarleyWarning: Gives this to Luke before leaving to face Vader.
* JediMindTrick: The TropeMaker. Obi-Wan's statements that get him past the stormtroopers in Mos Eisley is the most famous example, but he also may use a version of this while on the Death Star while disabling the tractor beam. The movie doesn't clarify if he used telekinesis to generate a sound in the next room, or if he used a mind trick to make the guards think that they heard a noise. Given how quickly they decide to look for an innocuous-sounding plink, Obi-Wan seems to at least have used the "mind trick" to influence that decision.
* KnightErrant: As an ideal Jedi Knight, he will go where ever he's sent to maintain peace and justice in the galaxy.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Obi-Wan fits this trope more than almost any other Jedi in the series. Satine even lampshades it.
-->'''Satine:''' My valiant Jedi Knight comes to my rescue once again.
* TheLeader: Type Levelheaded. When he's in command, the clones follow a more cautious and levelheaded {{plan}}.
* LastOfHisKind: In ''Film/ANewHope'', he is one of at least two known Jedi left in the galaxy after the [[ThePurge Jedi Purge]].
* LegendaryInTheSequel: An interesting inversion: he's legendary in the ''original'', and the prequels establish why he is.
* LetsGetDangerous: At first, Obi-Wan seems to be little more than a wizened old man who may have once been a warrior of the Clone Wars, but is now, well, an old man who lives in a hovel. Then we get to the cantina scene, where said old man whips out a lightsaber, deflects blaster shots and lops a man's arm off. You can tell from the look on Luke's face, that's the moment when he starts to take the whole "Jedi" thing seriously.
* LightIsGood: He explicitly speaks of the virtues of the light side of the Force during his confrontation with Darth Maul in "The Lawless".
* ListingTheFormsOfDegenerates: Obi-Wan does this when he decribes Mos Eisley as "[the most] wretched hive of scum and villainy."
* LittleNo: When he sees Darth Maul on Mandalore.
-->'''Obi-Wan:''' No... [[ThisCannotBe it can't be]]...
* MagicPlasticSurgery: After [[FakingTheDead faking his death]] and shaving himself in the Deception Arc, he goes through this via needle injection to become Rako Hardeen. [[BodyHorror The process looked somewhat painful]].
* ManipulativeBastard: An interesting example, since Obi-Wan is unquestionably on the side of the good, but he does attempt to manipulate Luke into unknowingly killing his own father by withholding that the man he wants to kill ''is'' his father (although it should probably be taken into account that the father in question is an unrepentant mass murderer who wants to turn Luke to TheDarkSide and kill all his friends and allies).
* MartialPacifist: He always tries to diffuse any tense situation until his lightsaber hand is forced, as the disgruntled cantina patrons in ''Film/ANewHope'' learn the hard way.
* MasterSwordsman: He spectacularly lives up to his "Master" title in "Revival", where he simultaneously takes on Maul and Savage, and cripples the latter, following Adi Gallia's death.
%%* MentorArchetype
* MentorOccupationalHazard: In ''Film/ANewHope'', he dies trying to hold back Darth Vader to let Luke escape.
%%* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning
* MyGreatestFailure: His failure to prevent Anakin's fall to the dark side motivates him to guide Luke to destroy the evil man his father had become.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Not Obi-Wan himself, but his home planet, Stewjon, which Creator/GeorgeLucas named after Jon Steward as a joke while on ''Series/TheDailyShow''. [[WordOfStPaul The official Databank rolled with it]].
* NoBodyLeftBehind: When Obi-Wan dies, his body disappears, leaving behind an empty robe.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Obi-Wan is a samurai, a ninja, a knight and a wizard.
%%* NobleMaleRoguishMale: With Anakin. Obi-Wan is the Noble to Anakin's Roguish.
* TheObiWan: The TropeNamer; he mentors [[TheHero Luke]] until he bites it at the end of the second act of ''Film/ANewHope''...and [[SpiritAdvisor a while after that]].
* ObiWanMoment: Another trope [[TropeNamer named after him]].
-->'''Obi-Wan:''' [[BadassBoast If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine]].
* OfficerAndAGentleman: He holds the title of General in the Grand Army of the Republic as well as being a Jedi Master.
%%* OldMaster: In ''Film/ANewHope''.
* OlderAndWiser: Obi-Wan starts off as a young and brash apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', but becomes more of a wise and experienced Jedi Master, culminating in him teaching Luke, his [[WeUsedToBeFriends former]] [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil pupil's]] son, about the Force in the beginning of ''Film/ANewHope''.
* OneManArmy: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he takes on General Grievous and his droid army alone and wins.
%%* ThePaladin
%%* TheParagon
* ParentalSubstitute: Obi-Wan becomes this to Anakin and Luke, considering that Anakin has never had a father, and that Luke never ''knew'' his father (not to mention he was constantly at odds with his other father figure, Uncle Owen).
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Obi-Wan's first meeting with Jango Fett in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' is so intense, Boba Fett's origin story contains a comparison between their conversation and a sword fight.
* ThePowerOfLegacy: Obi-Wan refrains from telling Luke about his father's true nature. Luke thinks of whoever his father is as a hero.
* ProdigalHero: Obi-Wan exiles himself to watch over little Luke from a distance, and then returns to the first line to be his mentor.
%%* PsychicPowers
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In the season 5 finale of ''The Clone Wars'', he's the only one on the Council to outright voice the opinion that they shouldn't just hand over Ahsoka to the Senate Court. To their credit, when the others make a majority decision, they make sure to note that it doesn't represent all of them. He also believed that they should be more open with Anakin about their concerns over Chancellor Palpatine and the Sith, but was overruled.
* RedBaron: He is known during the Clone Wars as "[[{{Ambadassador}} the Negotiator]]".
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Anakin's Red.
* RetiredBadass: By the time of ''Film/ANewHope''.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In "The Lawless", the Jedi Council can't legally go to Mandalore to help Satine, despite Obi-Wan's pleas to reconsider. Obi-Wan proceeds to go there anyway.
* ShutUpHannibal: During his confrontation with Darth Maul in "The Lawless", Obi-Wan refutes every one of his enemy's claims of the Dark Side's power by reinforcing his belief in the light. Maul gets the last word, however, when he murders Satine.
%%* TheSmartGuy
* TheSnarkKnight: He could be the poster boy of the trope. Even when being beaten senseless by Darth Maul and Savage Opress, he keeps the snark coming.
--> '''Satine''': [[LampshadeHanging The sarcasm of a soldier]].
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: With Anakin, Satine, Quinlan Vos, Cad Bane (while posing as Rako Hardeen) and an EnemyMine version with Asajj Ventress.
* SpiritAdvisor: He continues to guide Luke after death as a Force ghost.
* StarCrossedLovers: With Satine. He's a Jedi, sworn to protect the Republic and it's peace and to not form personal attachments. She's the duchess of a ruined planet which she tried to rebuild by turning her people's ProudWarriorRaceGuy culture into a pacifist society. Obi-Wan, for his part, seems to at least partly regret how things turned out, and says that, had Satine asked it of him, he would have left the Jedi Order to be with her.
* TheStoic: Has one of the suckiest lives (and [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning afterlife?]]) of any character in fiction, but remains calm, never complains, and usually keeps his emotions well in check.
* StoneWall: The EU establishes that Obi-Wan is the definitive master of Soresu, the most defensive lightsaber style. This allows him to perform feats like blocking ''twelve lightsaber strikes a second'' during his fight with Grievous.
* StudentAndMasterTeam: Forms one as the student to Qui-Gon in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', and as the master to Anakin and Luke for the rest of the saga.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Attempted it when he showed pity for Darth Maul, believing that Maul didn't choose the dark side of his own volition. Maul gleefully proves him wrong by murdering Satine.
%%* TakeUpMySword
* ThanatosGambit: In ''Film/ANewHope'', Obi-Wan deliberately allows Vader to kill him, allowing him to [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence become more powerful than any Jedi can imagine]].
* TragicBromance: His relationship with Anakin was one of great brotherly love before Anakin became Darth Vader, which devastated Obi-Wan so much that he came to view Vader as an entirely different personality who [[DeathOfPersonality killed Anakin]].
* UnreliableExpositor: In regards to Darth Vader and telling Luke the truth about him.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Anakin, but it's the [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]] type of vitriol.
* WeaponOfChoice: A Blue lightsaber.
* WellDoneSonGuy: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', there is a scene where Obi-Wan apologizes for criticizing Qui-Gon's sometimes peculiar actions (taking Jar Jar with them and betting their ship on Anakin winning the Podrace). Qui-Gon quickly praises Obi-Wan for his willingness to learn and tells him he would someday become a greater Jedi than Qui-Gon himself ever was. The novelization added other moments where Qui-Gon is critical of Obi-Wan's callousness (making jokes during combat) and lack of foresight (forgetting to turn his lightsaber battery off before jumping into swamp water), as well as the fact that Qui-Gon is known for seeking the "will of the force" over the immediate issues.
* [[WhatTheHellHero What the Hell, Jedi?]]: The Deception arc is a big WhatTheHellHero for Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Mace with Anakin of all people delivering it to them.
* WorthyOpponent: Dooku considers him a worthy adversary after he was able foil an attempted kidnapping of the chancellor by disguising himself as a bounty hunter and sabotaging the plot from the inside.
* XanatosGambit: Obi-Wan is polite enough to warn Vader that "if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine" before [[ObiWanMoment setting Vader up to do just that]].
* YouDidntAsk: A dramatic, and rather sad example. He claims that the only reason he returned to the Jedi, instead of staying with Satine in his youth, was because she didn't ask him to do so.
* [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Your Freedom Fighters Are Our Terrorists]]: His main objection to Anakin's plan of training the rebels on Onderon is that he fears they'd be training terrorists.

[[folder:Anakin Skywalker]]
!!Anakin Skywalker
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anakin_skywalker_sw_9431.jpg]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Sebastian Shaw (''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''), Jake Lloyd (''Film/ThePhantomMenace''), Hayden Christensen (''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''[[note]]2004 re-release[[/note]]), Matt Lanter (''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'')
->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' / ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' / ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'' / ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' / ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''

Luke Skywalker's father, a legendary Jedi Knight prophesied to bring balance to the Force. Growing from a lowly slave on Tatooine to hero of the Clone Wars, his promising career was tragically not meant to last, as his personal demons lure him to become Darth Vader, one of the most dreaded icons of fear and power in the galaxy.

For info on Darth Vader, see Characters/StarWarsMainCharacters.

* AccidentalHero: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', Anakin destroys the Trade Federation's battle droid control ship, effectively winning the Battle of Naboo--all because he climbed into a starfighter to hide from the action, accidentally activated its autopilot, and was looking for another safe place to avoid getting shot.
* AcePilot: Anakin is a fantastic Podracer pilot at the [[ChildProdigy ripe age of nine]], and the best starfighter pilot in the galaxy after he grows up. Although he does have some issues with landing properly.
%%* AdorablyPrecociousChild
* AffectionateNickname: Padmé and those close to Anakin call him "Ani".
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Deconstructed; his quest to save Padmé from death in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' not only [[LoveMakesYouEvil dooms the entire galaxy]], but [[SelfFulfillingProphecy ironically kills her]].
** Also occurred in a non-romantic sense when the Son kidnapped Ahsoka. Anakin went to confront him, shrugging off Obi-Wan's warnings about something like that could have devastating effects on the universe at large.
* AmbitionIsEvil: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', he's already aspiring to become the most powerful Jedi ever, a stark contrast to the sweet and innocent boy he was in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. When his mother dies during the course of the film, he adds "Learn to cheat death" to his list of ambitions, eventually pushing him into TheDarkSide when Padmé's death seems imminent in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
%%* AndIMustScream is a fate not even death can free a character from. Being trapped in a suit in constant pain for the rest of his life is simply a FateWorseThanDeath.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Anakin ends up turning into a Sith Lord, the very thing he was foretold to destroy.
%%* {{Angrish}}: After he loses his epic battle with Obi-Wan on Mustafar.
* AntiAntiChrist: Inverted. Anakin is implied to have been created by a [[DarkMessiah Sith Lord]] in order to wipe out the Jedi. The Jedi discover him and believe he's TheChosenOne who's supposed to destroy the Sith, but he ultimately chooses not to [[LoveMakesYouEvil out of love for Padmé]] and instead destroys the Jedi, only to then choose to destroy the Sith [[LoveRedeems because of love for his son, Luke]].
%%* AntiHero: Numeric "types" are no longer accepted for this trope. Explain HOW he's an Anti-Hero.
* AntiVillain: Becomes a cross between [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Types II]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist III]] in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', turning to TheDarkSide because LoveMakesYouEvil.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: When we're reintroduced to Anakin as a Jedi in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', he's incredibly full of himself and thinks he can take on [[MasterSwordsman Yoda]] in a lightsaber fight. It gets progressively worse in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' to the point of losing all of his remaining arms due to a miscalculated jump.
* ArtificialLimb: Gains a cybernetic replacement for his right arm after losing it to Dooku in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', and the rest of his limbs after losing to Obi-Wan in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: He ascends as a Force ghost after [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeeming himself]] in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
%%* AwesomeMcCoolname
* {{Badass}}: He is an AcePilot, and grows to become a MasterSwordsman capable of killing Dooku, regarded as the best living lightsaber duelist at the time. He also has tremendous skills with the Force that he often uses in combat.
* BadassAdorable: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. Anakin is incredibly sensitive to TheForce, a mechanical genius in his spare time, and one of the best Podracer pilots in the galaxy. Plus there's his instant mastery of piloting a Naboo royal starfighter, destroying the Trade Federation's mothership and thus putting an end to the conflict on Naboo in the process. And he was only 9 years old.
* BadassBookworm: A brilliant engineer and tactician who leads his men from the front during the Clone Wars.
* BaldOfEvil: All his hair gets burned off after his FaceHeelTurn.
* BashBrothers: With Obi-Wan, who even calls him his brother, before Anakin turns to TheDarkSide and pulls a FaceHeelTurn.
* [[BastardBoyfriend Bastard Husband]]: To Padmé at the end of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', when Anakin nearly Force chokes her to death until Obi-Wan tells Anakin to let her go. On top of that, Anakin accuses Padmé of turning against him by bringing Obi-Wan to kill him, when Obi-Wan actually tagged along without her knowing.
* BastardUnderstudy: Becomes this to Palpatine in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', suggesting to Padmé that he can overthrow him so [[WeCanRuleTogether they can rule the galaxy together]].
* BattleCouple: With Padmé after they profess their love in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', especially when they fight [[BackToBackBadasses back-to-back]] in the Geonosian arena.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: As Obi-Wan tells him before their duel:
-->'''Obi-Wan:''' You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.
* BeingEvilSucks: Anakin's turn to TheDarkSide in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' costs him everything and everyone that he loves, as well as leaving him locked in a robotic life-support system.
* BerserkButton: A few, but the biggest one is harming or threatening someone he loves. Palpatine found that out the hard way in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', when he tries to kill Luke. A tribe of Tusken Raiders (men, women and children) found it out ''way'' earlier after they kidnapped and killed his mother.
** For the love of the Force, don't threaten a slave (or even mention something related to slavers) in front of him.
** Do ''not'' look like you're romantically interested in his wife. Anakin nearly beat Clovis to death for almost kissing Padmé.
* TheBerserker: Anakin is naturally aggressive and reckless, but this side of him really shows the first time he taps into TheDarkSide to kill the Tuskan Raiders who killed his mother in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of Ahsoka.
* BigBrotherMentor: He really acts more like a big brother towards Ahsoka, than a Jedi Master. Not surprising given his attachment issues and that they're only a few years apart.
* BizarreHumanBiology: Is able to survive horrendous lava burns across his entire body through TheForce and ThePowerOfHate.
* BlackCloak: He begins [[{{Foreshadowing}} dressing in black robes]] in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* BlackShirt: He doesn't support the Sith at first, but he is very much into the idea of the Republic's democracy being replaced by totalitarianism.
* BloodbathVillainOrigin: Anakin's first task after being christened Darth Vader by Palpatine is to lead the attack on the Jedi Temple.
* BloodKnight: Anakin rushes into combat lightsaber swinging and is very aggressive.
* BodyguardCrush: On Padmé in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', where his childhood crush has become a full-fledged infatuation. Tasked with being Padmé's bodyguard following several attempts on her life by Jango Fett and Zam Wesell, he accompanies her back to Naboo, where they become closer by the day, quickly falling in love, which is against the laws of the Jedi Order.
* BodyHorror: Anakin's [[EmergencyTransformation transformation into Vader]]; first he loses all his (remaining) limbs, then has his whole body set on fire and his internal organs mangled, and is finally put into a mechanical suit that, according to WordOfGod, he wasn't given any anesthetic for [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable and was awake the entire time]].
* BodyguardingABadass: Is assigned to protect Padmé, a senator who's more than capable with a blaster, in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
%%* BornIntoSlavery
* BoyMeetsGirl: Anakin's relationship with Padmé, who he first meets in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.
%%* BreakTheCutie: The incredibly sweet little boy of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and the naive, idealistic, and romantic teenager of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' are crushed by the events of the second film with the death of his mother; then the choices he makes in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' finish smashing Anakin into tiny bits, which are then stomped on and finally set on fire. When Anakin kneels in front of Sidious and receives his Sith title, you can see in his rag-doll posture how completely and utterly broken he is. As Yoda tells Obi-Wan, "The boy you trained, gone he is."
* BrokenAce: Anakin is stated all throughout the prequels to be [[TheAce one of, if not]] ''[[TheAce the]]''[[TheAce, most powerful and skilled Jedi in the entire galaxy]], even more so than already legendary Jedi such as Yoda and Mace Windu. He also has some serious personal problems, including emotional issues, relationship issues with those close to him, and conflicting feelings of guilt, fear, pain, and anger.
%%* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Anakin is the Brooding Boy to Padmé's Gentle Girl.
%%* ByronicHero: A dark antihero with enough emotional issues to overfill the Death Star? Check please.
%%* CainAndAbel: With Obi-Wan with Anakin as the Cain to Obi-Wan's Abel. Hammered home when Obi-Wan addresses Anakin as his brother and that he loved him at the end of their epic fight.
* CaptainCrash: Lampshaded in the episode "Bounty Hunters".
-->'''Ahsoka:''' How comes every time you fly, we crash?
-->'''Anakin:''' It's not my fault, it's the ship.
-->'''Ahsoka:''' He always blames the ship.
* TheChampion: He professes himself as this for Padmé, who he says he will do anything she asks for, in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
* ChildProdigy: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', nine-year-old Anakin has already built his own working droid and Podracer, is the only known Human in galactic history to win (let alone participate in) a Podrace, and manages to get enough of a handle on a Naboo starfighter to destroy the Trade Federation droid control ship. Much of these can be attributed to his exceptionally strong connection to TheForce.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Padmé, whom he meets when he's just nine years old while she's fourteen.
* TheChosenOne: [[DoubleSubversion Doubly subverted]]. Anakin is the Jedi's prophesied Chosen One, and is extremely lucky and unusually skilled at everything the whole time, consistent with a standard Chosen One package. Then he joins TheDarkSide and becomes TheDragon for [[BigBad the Emperor]], going against what he was foretold to do. However, he ends up fulfilling his destiny anyway when he [[HeelFaceTurn destroys the Emperor]] to [[PapaWolf protect his son]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', he helps a group of complete strangers at great personal risk, and asks for nothing in return. While he keeps an otherwise heroic attitude in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', [[DudeWheresMyRespect by then he starts to feel as if he's owed something]].
* ComingOfAgeStory: Anakin's journey in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' is leaving his home and family to begin his training as a Jedi Knight.
* ConflictingLoyalty: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin is faced with remaining loyal to the Jedi and letting Mace Windu destroy Palpatine, or saving Palpatine so he can save Padmé in turn. [[LoveMakesYouEvil He chooses Padmé]].
** He's faced with a similar scenario in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', when Palpatine tortures Luke: either save his son or remain by his master's side. This time [[LoveRedeems he picks the former]].
* CoolStarShip: He pilots a sleek Jedi starfighter in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', which looks suspiciously like his personalized TIE fighter as Darth Vader in ''Film/ANewHope''.
* CoolSword: His [[LaserSword lightsaber]], the Jedi's WeaponOfChoice.
* CorruptTheCutie: Anakin starts off in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' as a young WideEyedIdealist whose first thought is how he can help a group of strangers get off a planet. As he grows older, however, he becomes more and more [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] in his desires for power and for love, partially egged on by [[TheCorrupter Palpatine]], who plays him against his Jedi brethren.
* TheCorruptible: When faced with the Jedi Council in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', the Jedi find him to be fraught with fear of losing his mother, which makes him vulnerable to TheDarkSide. [[TheCorrupter Palpatine]] capitalizes on this when his fears shift towards losing Padmé.
%%* CoveredInScars
* [[CowboyCop Cowboy Jedi]]: Has a tendency to launch his own independent investigations when the Jedi Council stonewalls him.
* CrazyJealousGuy: In regards to Padmé in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin starts to get paranoid and suspicious over her and Obi-Wan.
** Previously to that, when he saw Padme being held in Rush Clovis's arms, and about to be kissed by him (despite her resistance), he lost his cool so hard, he almost killed Clovis. Even before that, Anakin ''ordered'' Padme to not help Clovis, despite him being an old friend of hers.
* CuttingTheKnot: He tends to win space battles with unorthodox tactics. Best examples might be the Battle of Ryloth, when he combined ISurrenderSuckers with RammingAlwaysWorks, and the Battle of Bothawui, when he deployed walkers to the asteroids, getting behind Grievous's fleet.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Anakin's descent into evil is paralleled by his cyborg conversion. Also, by WordOfGod, a Jedi losing body parts makes them lose midichlorians, and thus weakens their connection to the Force.
* CynicismCatalyst: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', the fear of the loss of his wife Padmé by childbirth is what drives Anakin to TheDarkSide. Before that, there was the death of his mother in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', which also shaped his destiny and started his descent. For extra irony, Padmé dies from childbirth because she loses her desire to live after seeing the monster Anakin has become in trying to prevent her death.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: After being dismembered and nearly immolated during his fight with Obi-Wan, Palpatine has Anakin outfitted with his iconic suit of PoweredArmor that functions as a life-support system.
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Anakin joins TheDarkSide in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' in order to [[LoveMakesYouEvil save his wife from dying]]. By the end of the film, he's slaughtered younglings and Force choked his wife to near death.
%%* DarkMessiah: To the core. It's played with somewhat as he makes a DealWithTheDevil, Palpatine, essentially acting as an TheAntiChrist.
* DeadpanSnarker: Anakin gets quite a few moments of sarcasm in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', especially in the opening scene while piloting a battle-torn Separatist cruiser.
-->'''Obi-Wan:''' Can you fly a cruiser like this?\\
'''Anakin:''' You mean, do I know how to land what's left of this thing?\\
'''Obi-Wan:''' Well?\\
'''Anakin:''' Under the circumstances, I'd say the ability to pilot this thing is irrelevant.
-->'''Anakin:''' ''(after the rear half of the cruiser gets torn off)'' [[CaptainObvious We lost something]].
** His snark is even worse in the novelization when he's killing the Separatist leaders:
--->'''Rune Haako:''' We surrender! Please--you're a Jedi!\\
'''Anakin:''' You fought a war to destroy the Jedi. Congratulations on your success.
--->'''Shu Mai:''' We were promised a reward, a handsome reward...\\
'''Anakin:''' I am your reward; you don't find me handsome?
--->'''Nute Gunray:''' You can't! Lord Sidious promised we'd be left in peace.\\
'''Anakin:''' The transmission was garbled. He promised you'd be left in pieces.
* DealWithTheDevil: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', with [[WordOfGod Darth Sidious as the devil]]; Anakin pledges himself to TheDarkSide when the Sith Lord offers knowledge of how to save Padmé from death. This ends up backfiring as his turn is what drives Padmé away from him and causes her death.
%%* DeathOfPersonality:
%%* DespairEventHorizon: Padmé's death. TheEmpire is all he has left.
* {{Determinator}}: Even after getting all but one of his limbs chopped off and his entire body immolated by a river of molten lava, he manages to survive through ThePowerOfHate alone.
* DeusAngstMachina: By ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', Anakin has spent ten years of his life agonizing over leaving his mother in slavery, returned to her after all that time just for her to die in his arms, committed mass genocide and killed his own beloved wife (and supposedly their unborn child) in a botched DealWithTheDevil meant to ''save'' said wife from death, and spent another twenty-or-so years living with the guilt of his actions while trapped in a twisted mangle of burnt flesh and machinery.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: The Father, embodiment of the Balance of the Force, having Anakin as a guest on a stormy night.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Taming the Daughter and the Son, the embodiments of the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, ''simultaneously'' certainly counts.
* DiedHappilyEverAfter: After performing a HeroicSacrifice, Anakin appears as a Force ghost alongside Obi-Wan and Yoda the very end of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', more peaceful than he's ever been in years.
* DisabilityImmunity: After falling in lava after a duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he manages to climb to safety because his prosthetic arm remains intact.
* DisappearedDad: ''Non-existent'' dad; WordOfGod confirms that he was conceived by TheForce itself.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Anakin massacres the entire village of Tusken Raiders, including the more or less innocent [[WouldHitAGirl women]] and [[WouldHurtAChild children]], to [[ItsPersonal avenge his mother's death]].
* DoomedByCanon: It was known what [[FaceHeelTurn Anakin's destiny]] was going to be since ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', despite being a young and innocent boy.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Anakin's recurring nightmare about Padmé's death during childbirth in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', Anakin nearly gives Obi-Wan a heart attack with his reckless speeder driving while chasing Zam Wesell in Coruscant, where driving is a three-dimensional affair.
* DualWielding: At the end of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', Anakin fights Count Dooku with two lightsabers at one point. Unfortunately, it only lasts a short while before he's forced to switch back to one. He does it again a few times during ''The Clone Wars''.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Anakin becomes increasingly frustrated with the lack of respect and trust he feels he deserves from the Jedi Council, something that factors into his FaceHeelTurn in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
%%* DyingAsYourself: He effectively redeems himself as Anakin
* DyingCurse: Anakin during his VillainousBreakdown after he's defeated by Obi-Wan on Mustafar, screaming out his hatred towards the Jedi Master. Subverted in that he doesn't die.
* EmergencyTransformation: After his duel with Obi-Wan on Mustafar, Anakin's body is so badly broken that Darth Sidious immediately brings him to Coruscant and creates Darth Vader as we know him in the original trilogy.
* EtTuBrute: After his FaceHeelTurn in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin believes that Obi-Wan and Padmé are conspiring to kill him when they are merely trying to make him turn back from TheDarkSide.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Anakin [[InTheHood puts his hood up a lot more]] after being christened Darth Vader and, in the ultimate evil costume switch, becomes the infamous biomechanical suit of armor we are familiar with.
%%* EvilFormerFriend: To Obi-Wan at the end of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
%%* EvilIsHammy: Especially in Episode III, when Anakin starts to take a FaceHeelTurn and turns to TheDarkSide.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Anakin wouldn't have fallen into that lava if he hadn't turned evil. Even before falling into the lava, Anakin experienced slight changes in appearance (the glowing yellow eyes in particular).
* EyeColorChange: Anakin's eye color changes from blue to yellow once he turns to TheDarkSide and becomes a Sith.
* FaceHeelTurn: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he turns his back on the Jedi Order to become the ruthless Darth Vader.
%%* FallenHero: Could easily be the TropeCodifier.
* FantasticRacism: He ''really'' hates Sand People for killing his mother, enough to [[FinalSolution kill every last one of them]].
* FateWorseThanDeath: After the events of ''RevengeOfTheSith'', where he becomes Darth Vader, he is condemned to a life of constant emotional, psychological and physical pain, until he is redeemed at the very end of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
* AFatherToHisMen: He's pretty caring towards Rex and Ahsoka, but he usually comes up with reckless plans that send both of them into serious danger. Then again, given they are in the middle of war, his plans could be argued as the lesser of two evils: he doesn't send his men into situations he knows they won't survive.
** He also leads from the front and seems unwilling to order his men to do anything he wouldn't do himself.
* FlawExploitation: Palpatine exploits Anakin's love for Padmé to convince him that [[WellIntentionedExtremist everything he does is for the good of the galaxy]].
* ForegoneConclusion: In the prequel trilogy, Anakin turning to the dark side and becoming Darth Vader was a given since that is what the story revolves around. It was even part of the marketing ploy.
* FreudianExcuse: Spending much of his childhood as a slave gave Anakin a ''seething'' hatred for slavers. In addition, loosing his mother, first when he was taken to be a Jedi, and later when she died shortly before the Clone Wars, left him with an inability to let go of anyone he cares about.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Anakin's eyes glow a bright yellow when he goes off to kill all the youngling Jedi.
* AGodAmI: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', after turning to TheDarkSide, Anakin says that he is becoming the most powerful Jedi in the entire galaxy, so powerful that he can overthrow Emperor Palpatine and rule [[WeCanRuleTogether with Padmé by his side as Empress]].
%%* GoodIsNotNice
%%* GoodIsNotSoft
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Anakin goes from wearing light colors in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' to progressively darker colors in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', a not-so-subtle indicator of Anakin's gradual openness to TheDarkSide.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar next to his right eye by the time of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', before ending up [[CoveredWithScars covered in burn scars]] after his FaceHeelTurn and battle with Obi-Wan.
%%* GoOutWithASmile: Anakin's farewell to Luke.
* GreenEyedMonster: Anakin's jealousy of Padmé's former relationship with Clovis is PlayedForLaughs for most of "Senate Spy"... until the end, where he abandons Clovis to the mercy of Lott Dod, Poggle the Lesser, and a battalion of battle droids.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Anakin starts out as a good-hearted, kind and noble blond in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. However, his hair gets progressively darker as he grows older, [[TookALevelInJerkass as does]] [[FaceHeelTurn his personality]].
%%* HairTriggerTemper: Anakin is very impulsive, hot tempered and easily angered.
* HandicappedBadass: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin remains as much the skilled lightsaber duelist he was before losing his arm in ''Film/AttackOftheClones''.
* HeIsAllGrownUp: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', Padmé is impressed by how much Anakin has grown in size and personality since their last encounter ten years earlier.
%%* HeartbrokenBadass: Especially after Padmé dies, which only solidified his allegiance to TheDarkSide.
* HeelRealization: His speech about killing the Tusken Raiders that caused his mother's death has elements of this, in the sense that he feels like he's failing as a Jedi.
* HellBentForLeather: Wears a black leather tabard as part of his Jedi outfit in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Anakin uses a lightsaber as he is a Jedi and lightsabers are the Jedi's WeaponOfChoice.
%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Obi-Wan. Before that all goes to hell.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The reason why he becomes a Sith Lord, the very thing he sought to destroy. He not only slew the Tusken Raiders responsible for Shmi's death, he also "killed the women and the children."
* HotBlooded: Anakin is overly emotional, passionate, brash, impulsive, and hotheaded, traits which are attributed heavily to TheDarkSide.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Ahsoka.
* HumanMomNonHumanDad: Anakin's mother is human, but the origin of his father is ambiguous and unknown.
* HurtingHero: He grows up to become one of the most powerful and heroic Jedi in history thanks to his status as TheChosenOne. [[ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne However]], he is forced to leave his mother behind at a young age, witnesses her death firsthand years later, tries to cope with the lack of trust from his peers, and lives in fear of his [[StarCrossedLovers forbidden marriage]] with Padmé being discovered.
%%* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When trying to justify his actions to Padmé in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Shmi (Anakin's mother) and Padmé are Anakin's Gwen Stacys, as they both feed into his FaceHeelTurn. The former's death he believed he could have prevented if he had stayed at home, while the latter he believed that he had accidentally killed after all the trouble he went through [[LoveMakesYouEvil turning evil to save her]].
* IfICantHaveYou: He attempts to kill Padmé when he believes she is plotting with Obi-Wan to stop him in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
%%* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Anakin is TheChosenOne destined to bring balance to TheForce. Unfortunately, he ends up getting corrupted to TheDarkSide.
%%* IgnorantOfTheCall: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', although it is not exactly clear.
* IndyPloy: He usually makes up the plans as they go.
-->'''Rex:''' What's our plan of attack, sir?
-->'''Anakin:''' Follow me.
* InTheBack: How he killed [[spoiler: Tal Merrick and the Son.]]
* ImprobablePilotingSkills: Justified by his connection to TheForce, which aid his already impressive [[AcePilot piloting skills]] and allow him to pull off stunts no ordinary human can do; even at age nine, he is purportedly the only human capable of piloting a Podracer, and takes down the Trade Federation blockade in a Naboo starfighter without prior experience flying one.
* InTheHood: After joining the Sith, Anakin begins wearing hooded robes a lot more. Until he's encased in armor, that is.
* {{Irony}}: He trains rebels on Onderon. Considering what his later career would be spent doing...
** In "Ghosts of Mortis", he temporarily turned to the Dark Side a few years early to prevent himself from becoming Darth Vader. And his first decisions? Telling Obi Wan the Jedi have to be killed off because they stand in the way of peace... which is exactly how things went down in ''Episode III''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though he's impulsive, arrogant, and quick to anger, he ultimately is a good person. He even gives a speech to Obi-Wan in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' apologizing for the "Jerk" aspect of his character. [[TookALevelInJerkass Then he has a]] FaceHeelTurn.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he quickly goes from [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone agonizing over his role in Mace Windu's death]] to [[WouldHurtAChild killing younglings without a problem]].
* KickTheMoralityPet: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin Force chokes Padmé, his own pregnant wife, to near death when she tries to convince him what he's doing is evil. Unfortunately, the incident doesn't prompt him to stop; instead [[NeverMyFault he just blames Obi-Wan for turning her against him]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', the newly minted Sith Lord slaughters the entire Separatist Council; but these people not only led an [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized evil rebellion]] against the Republic, they did so with the explicit knowledge that it was purely for the benefit of [[BigBad Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith]]: all their ideals of restoring proper democracy were completely false. Therefore, lots of fans aren't particularly sad about Lord Vader's actions.
** Even earlier one: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'': Anakin's killing the village of Tusken Raiders is clearly meant to be seen as the first step in his JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope into villainy. But seeing how those Tusken Raiders did kidnap his mother and tortured her to death, many viewers couldn't help but feel that his actions were pretty justified.
* KidHero: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', Anakin single-handedly (if [[AccidentalHero accidentally]]) wins the Battle of Naboo at the age of nine.
* KillItWithFire: He manages to survive, but Obi-Wan figures the best way to kill him is to just leave him to die while his entire body is set on fire.
* KillTheGod: He killed the Son, embodiment of the Dark Side of the Force.* KillTheOnesYouLove: He ends up Force choking Padmé, who later dies in despair.
* KnightInShiningArmor: He wants to be the most powerful Jedi Knight, but his love for Padmé is his first priority.
* KnightKnaveAndSquire: The Knave, as he's more of a CombatPragmatist than Obi-Wan with a few signs of WellIntentionedExtremist thrown in.
* KnightTemplar: Anakin isn't quite as extreme as some examples of this trope (Tarkin, for example), but he still shows signs of it. If nothing else, he has no qualms with using torture and lethal force if he believes that he's in the right.
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: He once Force-Choked Poggle the Lesser to get the information he needed to save Ahsoka.
** Also almost killed Ventress in a blind rage in the SeriesFauxnale [[spoiler: when he believed she framed Ahsoka for murder.]]
* KnightTemplarParent: Heartbroken by the seemingly impending death of his wife, Padmé, and possibly of his child/children (whose future he cannot see in his visions), he goes on a savage killing spree to to immerse himself in the powers of the Dark Side of the Force, in order to gain the power to save Padmé and, if need be, the baby too (this is not precisely clear in the movies - the novelization makes it much more apparent).
* KungFuJesus: A tragic {{deconstruction}}, and eventual {{reconstruction}} of this trope. His son plays it arrow-straight though.
* LadyAndKnight: The Knight to Padmé's Lady.
* TheLancer: To Obi-Wan in the Clone Wars.
* LargeHam: Not in his normal personality, but after his FaceHeelTurn, he becomes a bit bombastic at times.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: His memories of the vision of the future, as well as his brief FaceHeelTurn, were erased by the Father.
* LeeroyJenkins: In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith. As Darth Vader, this attitude costs him his limbs and most of his body, and after being outfitted with his iconic armor he becomes a much more cautious and calculating fighter.
* TheLeader: Type Headstrong. He's confidant and bold to the point of recklessness, but it does wonders for clone morale.
%%* LightIsNotGood --> DarkIsEvil --> EvilWearsBlack
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For Padmé. Padmé is so heartbroken and devastated by the loss of Anakin that she dies of a broken heart during childbirth.
* LoopholeAbuse: The Jedi and the Republic can't help out the Onderon resistance due to red tape. Anakin's solution? Hire Hondo's crew to deliver weapons in the Republic's place.
* LoveCannotOvercome: With Padmé in Episode III.
-->'''Padmé:''' I don't believe what I'm hearing! Obi-Wan was right... you've changed! You have turned to the dark side! You're not Anakin anymore!
-->'''Anakin:''' [with a growing angry look and voice] I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me!
-->'''Padmé:''' [crying] Anakin, you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I cannot follow!
-->'''Anakin:''' Because of Obi-Wan?
-->'''Padmé:''' Because of what you've done... what you plan to do! Stop! Stop now... come back... I love you!
* LoveHungry: Anakin in Episode III for Padmé's love. Even more explicit in Matt Stover's novelization, where Anakin reacts angrily and violently towards any perceived threat to his relationship with Padmé.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Courtesy of the visions that Padmé would die in childbirth.
* MacGyvering: He built his own podracer from Watto's junkyard. And won the Boonta Eve Classic with it.
* MachineEmpathy: He recognized R2's voice through a radio.
* ManOnFire: The reason for his EmergencyTransformation.
* MasterSwordsman: Anakin mastered the Form V: Djem So style of lightsaber combat, which focused on offence.
* MeaningfulName: The name Anakin means "warrior".
* MessianicArchetype: He was prophesied to bring balance to the Force.
* MilitaryMaverick: Anakin is very well-known for disregarding orders from higher authorities - whether it be the Jedi Council or the Supreme Chancellor - and still bringing in positive results.
* MindOverMatter: Whenever Anakin uses telekinesis it really shows off how powerful he is. Amongst his most impressive feats are holding back an ''explosion'' with his mind for several seconds, and his aforementioned victory over the Son and the Daughter.
* MomentOfWeakness: See StartOfDarkness.
* MoralDilemma: Anakin believes he has to use the Dark Side or else Padmé will die.
** Also, Anakin's choice between letting Mace Windu unlawfully kill Palpatine or saving the Sith Lord's life.
* MoralDissonance: Let's just say he's the last person you'd expect to give Obi-Wan a WhatTheHellHero speech for lying and deceiving others after the Jedi Council faked Obi-Wan's death briefly during the Clone Wars. Also, he gave a lecture to Ahsoka on being humble, which sounds rather strange coming from him.
%%* MrFanservice
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Episode III, Anakin says this (minus the "My God") after watching Palpatine kill Mace Windu, which he was only able to do because Skywalker had just cut off the Jedi Master's hand, causing him to lose the lightsaber he'd been using to block Palpatine's lightning.
** Although he refuses to admit it, insisting he hates them, Anakin is clearly genuinely shaken up by his slaughter of the Tusken Raiders.
** And the end of the film, when Anakin newly turned into Darth Vader gets out of surgery and he is told what happened to Padmé. And in this case doubles as a BigNo.
* MyGreatestFailure: Not being able to [[SelfFulfillingProphecy save Padmé from dying during childbirth]].
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: To Palpatine.
* NeckLift: Frequently employs the [[SignatureMove Force Choke]] as a means of interrogation.
* {{Necromantic}}: In Episode III, Anakin turns to the TheDarkSide so he can learn how to keep his wife from dying, and if necessary bring her back from the dead. Before she's actually dead. [[SelfFulfillingProphecy And then he kills her because he's evil now.]]
* NeverMyFault: In Episode III, Anakin blames Obi-Wan for turning Padmé against him. It couldn't have been your [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope sharp descent]] into [[FaceHeelTurn violent murder and villainy]], no...
** Later on, Anakin, waking on the slab, initially has this reaction to being told that he had killed Padmé. He thinks that he loves her, always will, could never will her death - but he remembers the cold terror he felt when thinking of her death (said terror is called "the dragon" in the text. ItMakesSenseInContext) that made him create Darth Vader, and he remembers Vader's fury and hatred.
* NiceJobBreakingItHerod: Subverted. There is a prophecy about TheChosenOne (Anakin) bringing balance to TheForce; while some interpret this to mean that he'll decimate the Jedi who are more numerous than the Sith, the Jedi view, and the one espoused by WordOfGod, is that he will root out and destroy the Sith Lord lurking in the shadows. [[BigBad Palpatine]] knows about this prophecy, and when TheChosenOne is discovered, he doesn't kill him (Anakin). Palpatine spends quite some time befriending and grooming the boy (Anakin) until he could cause a FaceHeelTurn and use him against the Jedi. However, the Original Trilogy then has the son of TheChosenOne (Luke), redeem him and cause a HeelFaceTurn in Anakin. Palpatine tries to kill Luke, and Anakin, TheChosenOne, kills him, finally fulfilling the prophecy.
** The Sith have their own prophecy, of the Sith'ari, who will both destroy their order and bring it its greatest height of power (the order in which this will happen not being explicitly specified). While Word of God holds that prophecy had already been fulfilled 1000 years earlier, many fans find it more appealing for Anakin/Darth Vader to be the fulfillment of both prophecies, by destroying both the Jedi ''and'' the Sith.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: With Obi-Wan. Anakin is the Roguish to Obi-Wan's Noble.
* OedipusComplex: Anakin was very obsessed with his mother, Shmi. He marries a woman (Padmé) who looks like his mother. His mother's death is one of the things that drives him to the Dark Side. He supposedly doesn't have a biological father, but Palpatine is hinted to have used TheForce to create him and acts as a father figure to him. Obi Wan is also a father figure to Anakin. Guess what happens to the both of them.
* OfficialCouple: With Padmé as of Episode II.
* OhNoNotAgain: Anakin dives off a speeder in the middle of aerial traffic and all Obi-Wan can come up with is a mildly disgruntled "I hate it when he does that." Anakin also commented that his lightsaber had been destroyed once before.
* OneHeadTaller: Than Padmé.
* OneManArmy: In Episode III.
* OpposedMentors: Anakin has to choose between following Obi-Wan Kenobi and Palpatine. Eventually, [[FaceHeelTurn he chooses Palpatine]] and turns to TheDarkSide.
* [[OverprotectiveDad Overprotective Master]]: Played with. Usually he has no problem with bringing Ahsoka into a combat situation, since it ''is'' part of her training after all (and he's usually there to keelhaul anything that so much as thinks of killing her) but when a mission is so dangerous that even ''he'' overthinks every plan going into it, he justifiably wants her to stay out of it.
* PapaWolf: To his unborn kids. And to his son Luke when Palpatine tries to kill him.
* ParadiseLost: Anakin, the Jedi's Morning Star, standing against the fire-and-brimstone backdrop of Mustafar in Episode III.
%%* TheParagonAlwaysRebels
* PassedOverPromotion: Part of his resentment against his fellow Jedi stems from their not making him a Knight sooner, which he feels is long past due, and [[YouAreNotReady for not promoting him to the rank of Master]] when he's appointed to serve on the Jedi Council. Obi-Wan points out that being on the Council at all is an impressive achievement and unheard of at his age.
* ParentalHypocrisy: As Ahsoka's mentor he often finds himself having to preach patience, humility and detachment. All of which are things Anakin has struggled with constantly as a Jedi. Most notable when he notices Ahsoka's affections for Lux and gently reminds her to set aside feelings. Considering the trouble this causes him, it's clear he simply wants her to avoid the hardships of his own life.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Anakin's slaughter of the Tusken Raiders for killing his mother.
* PhysicalGod: WordOfGod says that had he not been crippled at Mustafar, he would've eventually ended up as this. His son realizes his potential in the ExpandedUniverse.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: See his FantasticRacism towards the Sand People. He also has authoritarian political views which are rapidly warped into ''totalitarian'' ones when he becomes Darth Vader.
* PowerLevels: The "[[DoingInTheWizard midichlorian]]" concept was criticized by fans as this, especially with Obi-Wan's non-ironic observation that Anakin clocks in at OverNineThousand. This didn't stop WordOfGod from declaring that Anakin ''is'' meant to be the strongest Force-user in canon, equaled only by his son. See also CyberneticsEatYourSoul.
* PrettyBoy: Anakin is a cross between this and {{Hunk}}. How is that even possible?
* TheProtagonist: Anakin is the focal or central character of the entire ''StarWasrs'' saga or series.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Anakin grows progressively darker as the series wears on, culminating in his [[StartOfDarkness story]] [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope arc]] in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: Anakin suffers from BadDreams of his mother suffering in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''; it turns out she was kidnapped by Tusken Raiders the whole time, and dies before he can do anything to save her. He tries to prevent this in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' when he starts dreaming of Padmé's DeathByChildbirth, but ends up [[SelfFulfillingProphecy being the one who kills her]].
* PsychicPowers: As a highly Force-sensitive little boy, he was able to use them in some situations (podraces, for instance) without really knowing where it came from. He learned to master them during his Jedi training.
* PsychopathicManchild: He becomes one in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' after his FaceHeelTurn.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: [[ItWasHisSled Obviously.]]
* PunchCatch: Pulls this on Ventress during their scuffle in "The Wrong Jedi".
* PyrrhicVillainy: Sure, Anakin helps to won the war, and his FaceHeelTurn to TheDarkSide allowed Chancellor Palpatine to take over the galaxy. But he ends up losing Padmé, the pregnant wife he did it all for, had his limbs chopped off by Obi-Wan at the end of their fight and severely burned away by the magma, resulting in him being reconstructed with cybernetic limbs and black armor.
* RageAgainstTheMentor: He calls Obi-Wan out on his rather questionable actions during the Deception arc in "Crisis on Naboo".
* TheRedBaron: Known as "The Hero With No Fear". {{Ironic|Nickname}}, considering how much fear he carries.
%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath
* RedEyesTakeWarning: After turning to the Dark Side, his eyes become jaundiced.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Obi-Wan's Blue.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In Episode III, Emperor Palpatine's conversion of Anakin into the infamous masked cyborg counts, although Anakin had already joined TheDarkSide and was significantly weaker afterwards.
* RenownedSelectiveMentor: Due to his unusual affinity with the Force, Anakin gets mentoring and attention from high-ranking Jedi beyond that given to other padawans.
* ResignedToTheCall: Rather interestingly, while every earlier [[StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]] material pictured Anakin as someone who JumpedAtTheCall of being TheChosenOne, it's revealed on Mortis that not only did he not think of himself as such, he didn't even ''believe'' in the prophecy. Then, when he proved it to himself as well as to the Father, he still refused to stay on Mortis to keep the Daughter and the Son in balance. It took the demise of all three Force-wielders for him to seemingly accept it.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Anakin performs one of these on a camp of Tusken Raiders after they kill his mother.
* RogueProtagonist: If you go chronologically, Anakin is the protagonist of the entire series or saga and later on, he becomes the antagonist.
* SecretRelationship: He's secretly married to Padmé. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in "The Rise of Clovis", which comes to show that a marriage built on lies isn't a very healthy one, a fact that carries over into ''Revenge of the Sith''.
* ScarsAreForever: The scarring Anakin incurred in Episode III is what made Darth Vader's iconic appearance and sfx in the original trilogy possible — even necessary.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Anakin, trying to stop Padmé from dying in childbirth, ends up killing her.
* SelfProclaimedKnight: At the end of ThePhantomMenace, Anakin is allowed to be trained as a Jedi Knight in even though he is too old. He vents his frustration to Senator Amidala in AttackOfTheClones that he's ready to be a knight, but they won't let him move on.
* SerialProstheses: Anakin loses a hand in Episode II, and then loses most of his remaining limbs in Episode III. He re-loses some of those limbs, and in Episode VI, Luke cuts off his arm again.
* ShirtlessScene: Anakin after waking up from his nightmare in Episode II.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Anakin was in love with Padmé since [[PrecociousCrush he was ten]], and his love never weakened, even though they didn't meet for ten years after in Episode II.
* SingleTear: After [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope murdering hundreds of Jedi]] [[KickTheSonOfABitch and the helpless Trade Federation leaders]], Anakin looks out into the [[DeathWorld hellscape]] that is Mustafar and [[ManlyTears silently sheds a tear of remorse.]]
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: Killing the Tusken Raiders is Anakin's first openly evil act, specifically intended to foreshadow his eventual fall.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Kind of: When Anakin meets Watto again and asks where Shmi Skywalker is, Watto wonders if he is Anakin, but then decides he really is Anakin after he notices that his pit droid was fixed.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Anakin's destroying the Trade Federation's droid control station in the first prequel was a massive stroke of luck, to the extent that [[AccidentalHero not even he realized what was happening]]; he just hid in an unmanned Naboo fighter and stuff happened.
* SpoiledBrat: He thinks he is entitled to everything the Jedi would give him.
* StarcrossedLovers: With Padmé. Due to their respective roles as Jedi and Senator requiring them to be on different planets, they were often star crossed. [[ShoutOut Even their romance theme was entitled: ''Across the Stars''.]]
* TheStarscream: To the Jedi, and tries to be this to Palpatine twice. In ''RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin believes he can overthrow Palpatine and rule the galaxy with Padmé, likely foreshadowed in ''AttackOfTheClones'' with his mistrust in Senatorial politics. Then he tries it again with his son in ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and ''ReturnOfTheJedi''. Special mention given because it does not involve the typical Sith MO of killing their masters over power, for it seems more like Anakin does not like how Palpatine rules, and wants to supplant him and perhaps do it better.
* StartOfDarkness: The entire prequel trilogy was created to show Anakin Skywalker's progression from a noble young Jedi to the ultimate face of evil in the ''Star Wars'' saga.
* TheStrategist: As noted above, he's quite good at thinking outside the box.
%%* StudentAndMasterTeam: With Obi-Wan from Episodes II-III.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Per WordOfGod, this is how Anakin defeats Count Dooku ... but it has the cost of causing him to [[StartOfDarkness edge closer]] to TheDarkSide.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: After the newly minted Darth Vader kills the Separatist council, his eyes are shown with yellow irises with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red rims]].
* TantrumThrowing: In Episode II. Anakin does this while ranting about how Obi-Wan's "holding him back."
* TearsOfRemorse: Anakin as the newly-forged Darth Vader in ''RevengeOfTheSith'', while massacring a roomful of untrained kids in the Jedi Temple and after slaughtering a roomful of surrendering Trade Federation leaders and their bodyguards.
%%* ThatManIsDead: Inverted;
%%* TheseHandsHaveKilled: he first thing Anakin says when he looks at his own hands is to admit that he killed the Tusken Raiders.
* ThirdActMisunderstanding: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin comes to believe that Padmé and Obi-Wan are conspiring against him because they've been talking to each other about their concern over him.
%%* ToBeLawfulOrGood
* TooDumbToLive: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he is nearly killed because he tries to make a jump towards Obi-Wan standing at the sloped shore of a lava river. He gets most of his arms chopped off and his whole body ravaged for his trouble, and would've died if Palpatine didn't arrive in time to rescue him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Between ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin becomes a fully-fledged Jedi Knight. This has flip-flopped by the time of the original trilogy, though, with him being more ruthless and physically stronger as a cyborg, but also [[HandicappedBadass horribly crippled]] and less powerful with the Force.
%%* TookALevelInJerkass: To a GREAT extent. But [[StartOfDarkness this is kind of the whole point of the trilogy]].
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Anakin's impatience and unwillingness to listen to Obi-Wan's advice turns him against the Jedi.
* TragicHero: Anakin was a hero of the Republic, got the girl, helped win the war, and saved his Master a number of times. His FatalFlaw was the fear of losing those he cared about, which fed a hunger for power to prevent it from ever happening, and that eventually turned him into the ever-popular BlackKnight Darth Vader.
* TragicMistake: Anakin breaks with the Jedi by unintentionally aiding Palpatine in killing Mace Windu.
%%* TraumaCongaLine
%%* TroubledButCute
* TwoRoadsBeforeYou: Anakin struggles with being loyal to the Jedi and [[TheDarkSide the Sith]], eventually choosing the latter.
* UndercoverAsLovers: Invoked and subverted in "Hostage Crisis". Anakin was trying to convince Padmé to take a break away from the politics, and go on to a vacation with him, where they could act as husband and wife, instead of as general and senator, because no-one would've recognised them.
* TheUnfettered: Anakin, already less fettered than your average Jedi, edges closer and closer to this trope (and fully embraces it during "Ghosts of Mortis") as the series goes on.
%%* UngratefulBastard: Anakin himself starts to show signs of this when he puts the blame on Obi-Wan for holding him back after he failed to save his mother at the Tusken Raider camp.
%%** Anakin was rather distrustful of the Jedi for not going easy on him and more so when he was refused the rank of Jedi Master. So how does he repays them after all his years of serving them? By making his FaceHeelTurn to TheDarkSide and killing them in Order 66.
* UniversalDriversLicense: He can pilot anything from a Podracer in his youth to a Separatist flagship with ease.
* UnstoppableRage: Anakin has serious issues with anger, rage, and controlling his temper. He becomes better at [[TranquilFury outwardly restraining himself]] after this costs him the majority of his body.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Anakin is the instigator of his own doom. If he hadn't finished that protocol droid he had started in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', things could have been very different. One possible unfolding: R2-D2 would have never been sold to the Lars family without [=C-3PO=]'s endorsement, and thus would have stayed with the Jawas and fallen into the hands of the Empire, and Leia's message never reaches Obi-Wan.
* UnwittingPawn: For Palpatine, who manipulates him into succumbing to TheDarkSide.
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Anakin has as good an [[BornIntoSlavery upbringing as a slave]] could have thanks to his mother, Shmi, though he still struggles with anger and emotional issues during his entire career as a Jedi. When she dies horribly, he takes it [[UnstoppableRage very badly]] and pushes him ever closer to TheDarkSide.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: He grows from an innocent, bright-eyed mother's boy who builds robot buddies into, well, Darth Vader.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Obi-Wan, but the vitriol is definitely of a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]] variety.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: In "Overlords", when he controls the Son and the Daughter.
* VillainProtagonist: Becomes this in the second half of of ''RevengeOfTheSith'', which documents his ultimate fall to TheDarkSide as he looks for a way to save his wife from death.
* WeCanRebuildHim: He gets his arm replaced with a mechanical one more than once. There's also his becoming Darth Vader.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Anakin tries to convince Padmé to become his Empress so they can rule the galaxy and "make things the way we want them to be!" Her horrified reaction is similar to their son Luke's when Anakin makes a similar offer to him in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
%%* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Obi-Wan. Taken to the extreme in Episode III, during the battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan.
* WeaponOfChoice: A blue lightsaber in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* WellDoneSonGuy: His relationship with [[TheObiWan Obi-Wan]] is shaped by his desire to earn his master's approval, which iss rarely forthcoming. Obi-Wan and Anakin share such a moment in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', where Anakin expresses his anger over being allowed on the Jedi Council while not being advanced to being a Jedi Master. Obi-Wan expresses that his skill and talent is what got him on the Council in the first place, and not to be distraught over the disapproval of the other Jedi. Unfortunately, this doesn't help.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Anakin comes to believe that the Republic is corrupt (true) and that the Jedi are conspiring to take over the galaxy (not true).
-->'''Ahsoka:''' You might find some of [Anakin]'s thoughts on the future ... a bit radical.
* WideEyedIdealist: As a boy in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', he keeps an upbeat disposition of helping people with no want of personal gain. Once his eyes are opened to the true power he's capable of, however, [[CorruptTheCutie it all starts to go to his head]].
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The more powerful a Jedi Anakin becomes, the more corrupt he becomes and the more he is pushed to join TheDarkSide.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds:
** Briefly, in "Ghosts of Mortis". After being shown his future as Darth Vader, he willingly [[FaceHeelTurn turns to the dark side]] and becomes willing to unleash [[HumanoidAbomination the Son]] upon the galaxy in order [[WellIntentionedExtremist to prevent that future from coming to pass]].
** In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin's final transformation into Darth Vader is shown to be caused by losing everything and everyone he cares for [[TragicHero due to his own actions]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He strangles his wife when she finds out that Obi-Wan stowed away on her ship.
* WouldHurtAChild: He slaughters Tusken Raider children after his mother dies in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', and Jedi younglings in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* {{Yandere}}: For Padmé. They go from "old crush" to "man and wife" over the course of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''; then, when he thinks she'll die of childbirth during ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he turns to TheDarkSide to prevent it, and chokes her to near death because he got it into his head that she betrayed him for Obi-Wan.
* YouCantFightFate: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Anakin foresees his beloved Padmé's death and tries to find ways to prevent it, which leads him to TheDarkSide. Not only does he fail to prevent Padmé's death, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy he ends up being the direct cause of it]].
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Obi-Wan laments his fall to TheDarkSide in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', stating that he was supposed to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/FrankOz (films), Creator/TomKane (''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'')
->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' / ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' / ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'' / ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' / ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' / ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''

The Grand Master of the Jedi Council. Often underestimated for his size, this diminutive creature of unknown origin is among the wisest and most powerful of Force-users, and has spent over 800 years training countless Jedi, including Luke Skywalker.

* ActuallyIAmHim: When Luke is looking for Yoda in ''The Empire Strikes Back'', he appears to him as a mischievous swamp creature who claims to know Yoda, then proceeds to waste Luke's time in looking for him [[SecretTest in order to test his patience]].
%%* AdventureRebuff: "He is too old. Yes, too old to begin the training."
* {{Ambadassador}}: He went on a diplomatic mission in "Ambush", during which he was forced to take on an entire battalion of droids with only three clones to help him.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the de facto leader of the Jedi Order and the most powerful Jedi of his time.
* BadassGrandpa: Yoda is around 800 and nearing the end of his species's natural life span, but can still go toe-to-toe with the likes of Count Dooku and [[BigBad Emperor Palpatine]]. Even thirty years later, Yoda retains enough power to easily lift an almost-completely submerged X-Wing from a swamp.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Wear shoes, he does not.
%%* BenevolentBoss
%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: When facing a Sith Lord in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Yoda gets even better, decapitating two troopers with a single blow.
* BigGood: Serves as this in the original and prequel trilogies, being the leader of intergalactic peacekeepers.
%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass:
* DotingParent: To ''every'' warrior in the Jedi Order, younglings in particular... when not giving them TrainingFromHell, that is.
* EccentricMentor: Has a funny way of speaking, but still very capable and wise, he is.
* EmeraldPower: Yoda, [[LittleGreenMan who is green skinned]], is one of the strongest Jedi there is.
* EnemyWithout: One of his trials in "Destiny" involves him facing his own inner darkness, which takes the form of a shadowy, demonic version of himself with GlowingEyesOfDoom.
* TheExile: Like Obi-Wan, he hides from TheEmpire on the swamp planet of Dagobah.
* ExpositionOfImmortality: Yoda already looks like he's seen his fair share of years; walking stick, not much hair, crotchety old man. And clearly, he's been around for a while if he was the Jedi Master who trained Obi-Wan Kenobi, himself no spring chicken by ''Film/ANewHope''. Nevertheless, a sense of his true age is held back until he turns around and says:
-->'''Yoda:''' What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained.
* ExpressiveEars: His mood can be easily read from them.
* AFatherToHisMen: He encourages the clones to develop self identity.
* FriendToAllChildren: He personally trains Jedi younglings who have no masters of their own, and even encourages the kind of wisdom only someone as pure as a child can have.
* GoodCounterpart: By WordOfGod, Yoda embodies the light side of the Force as much as [[BigBad Darth Sidious]] represents the dark side.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Yoda puts Luke through TrainingFromHell to perform inhuman feats of strength, dexterity and stamina as part of his Jedi training. (The novelization/written version of the stories mentions he had to do a thumbstand, i.e. a handstand on one thumb.) The implication, however, is that Luke is being forced to rely on the Force; Yoda is making him perform superhuman feats that, as a human, he is not capable of performing, but as a Jedi, with the Force flowing through him, he is.
* HermitGuru: In the original trilogy, he lives in the swamps of the remote planet Dagobah where he trains Luke.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: While there are several examples of GoodIsNotSoft among Jedi, and Yoda himself [[LetsGetDangerous can be a good exponent]], he appears to be the one who most firmly stays away from the dark side.
* InexplicablyAwesome: He's just a short, green, centuries-old alien who is quite possibly the most powerful Jedi alive. How he got that way is officially the one NoodleIncident the Expanded Universe will never touch.
%%* LargeHam: In ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
* LastOfHisKind: Yoda himself [[SingleSpecimenSpecies may very well be]] the last of the wrinkly green Muppets. Only one other is seen in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', and she was killed during the Clone Wars.
* ALessonInDefeat: Yoda sends Luke into the cave to experience the dark side of the Force. When he thinks he kills Vader, the mask explodes and reveals Luke's own face, showing that he could give into the dark side himself. An alternative interpretation of the scene, supported by the radio adaption of ''Empire'', is that Yoda is showing Luke what is holding him back, namely himself and his own attitudes.
* LittleGreenMen: His species is green and stands at two feet tall. Darth Sidious even calls him "my little green friend".
* LivingLegend: In the original trilogy, everybody refers to Yoda as if he were the one invincible, unmatchable Jedi. Inexplicably, although he was the most famous Jedi in the galaxy and his death was never confirmed, not twenty years later there's not a single record of what Yoda ''looked'' like for Luke to consult.
* MasterApprenticeChain: He trained Count Dooku, one of the villains of the prequel trilogy, who in turn trained Qui-Gon, then Obi-Wan, and finally Anakin in the films. On his deathbed, Yoda entrusts Luke with passing down what he has learned from Obi-Wan and him.
%%* MasterSwordsman: As shown in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* MeaningfulName: Yoda means "warrior" in Sanskrit, though we don't see him live up to his namesake until ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. It also means "one who knows" in Hebrew.
%%* MentorArchetype
* MentorMascot: One of the most recognizable symbols of the series, he is, and he's a mentor to boot.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Yoda passes away in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', although it's due to old age rather than being killed.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen: He's 900 years old, and barely reaches to knee level of most characters. Justified, since he's an alien.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While he doesn't utter the phrase, his expression just screams that he's blaming himself when Ahsoka refuses to return to the Order, which is revisited in "Destiny". In the same scene, he shown to react this way whenever he feels he's steered the Jedi wrong.
* MyGreatestFailure: His failure to defeat the Emperor in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' is what spurs him to go into exile and train Luke to finish the job for him.
* MysteriousPast: Nothing solid is given about his background, not even the name of his species, only one other member of which is known in the films.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Yoda is a wizard/alien/old master.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: His body disappears when he dies, leaving behind an empty bed sheet.
* NoNameGiven: Not Yoda, but his species.
* NoodleIncident: According to Huyang, how he got the crystal for his lightsaber is a very interesting story.
* NoSell: Dooku's Sith lightning does not work against him; even [[BigBad Palpatine]]'s fails to kill him with it.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Pretends to be a wacky old hermit in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' as a test of Luke's patience and tolerance of strangers. Fail miserably, Luke does.
* OldMaster: Fits the archetype of being deceptively old ''and'' small. Not only is he still among the wisest in his knowledge of the Force but, thanks to the CGI of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', we get to see just how adept he is with a lightsaber.
* OneManArmy: During the Clone Wars, h takes down Ventress's droid army on Rugosa almost singlehandedly. After Order 66, he cuts down clone troopers in droves during ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
%%* ThePaladin: Wise and powerful.
%%* TheParagon
* PintSizedPowerhouse: This less-than-a-meter-tall alien is said to be a "great warrior" in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', but he doesn't really showcase it...until ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', where he fights Count Dooku with a flurry of flips and slashes.
%%* PointyEars
%%* PsychicPowers
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's 900, although he does look like it.
-->'''Yoda:''' ''(indignantly)'' When nine hundred years ''you'' reach, look as good ''you'' will not, hmm?
* ReluctantWarrior: This does ''not'', however, mean he doesn't know how to use a lightsaber when he needs to.
* RetiredBadass: By the time of the original trilogy he's retreated to a lonely planet in self-imposed isolation.
* RiddleForTheAges: George Lucas typically doesn't involve himself in the EU very much, but it's known that one of the few things he's explicitly forbidden EU authors from doing is revealing Yoda's species.
* ScreamingWarrior: He lets out a {{Kiai}}-like yell while fighting Dooku in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Hmm, yes he is? Agree, you do.]]
* SupportingLeader: During the assault on Geonosis in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and the battle on Kashyyyk in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* ThisCannotBe: Yoda uttered this phrase, when Qui-Gon contacted him, and proved his existence by telekinetically levitating Yoda and everything moveable in Yoda's quarters.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Throws his lightsaber into the chest of a clone trooper in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. It probably works by using the Force.
%%* TricksterMentor: Shows this in "The Gathering". When the younglings are warned that the ice door to the crystal cave will seal behind them at day's end, they all assume it will take another 19 days (how long it takes for the sun to rise on Ilum) to escape. At the end, Petro crashes through the ice to escape. When called on it, Yoda points out that the door is just ice and not that difficult to break if you're determined. They were only trapped by their own fears.
* WeaponOfChoice: A small green lightsaber in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* TheWonka: The clones under his command can't figure out what he says half the time; one of them even admitted that "there's no figuring a Jedi Master", but they follow his lead because they know there's a method to his madness.

->'''Appears in:''' ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' / ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' / ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'' / ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''

A stony-faced Jedi with a uniquely-colored purple lightsaber, and champion of the Jedi Council, second only to Master Yoda. He shows great distrust in Anakin, doubting his suitability for the life of a Jedi.

* AuthorAppeal: Creator/SamuelLJackson requested a purple lightsaber in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' because it's his favorite color (plus making him easier to spot in large battle scenes).
* {{Badass}}: He is known to be one of the best, if not the best, warrior in the Jedi Order. Nothing he ever faces gives him any trouble until he fights Darth Sidious, and he still nearly beat him.

%%* BadassBoast
%%* BaldOfAwesome
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: He is the deadliest fighter among the Jedi because he practices a combat style that involves treading on the very edge of TheDarkSide without actually succumbing.
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Mace was the leader of the Jedi Council (while Yoda was the Grand Master of the Jedi Order) until he stepped down to concentrate on kicking ass in the Clone Wars.
* BigGood: Alongside Yoda in the prequel trilogy.
* BlingBlingBang: His lightsaber hilt is studded with electrum, an alloy of gold and silver, as part of his privileges as a high-ranking Jedi Master. There is debate over whether it has "[[Film/PulpFiction Bad Motherfucker]]" engraved on it.
* TheComicallySerious: When teamed up with Jar Jar Binks during "The Disapppeared", his serious demeanor is there to offset Jar Jar's wackiness.
* CoolSword: Mace has a purple lightsaber, which stands out amongst the blue and green lightsabers all the other Jedi tend to have.
* CynicalMentor: Mace is quite cynical in his view of galactic affairs compared to many of the other Jedi, such as [[TheObiWan Obi-Wan Kenobi]]; he also doesn't seem to like Anakin much at all and opposes little Anakin's training from the start.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mace is often very sarcastic.
-->'''Ahsoka:''' Guard duty?! For how long?\\
'''Mace:''' Longer now.
* DestinationDefenestration: In ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he goes out in spectacular fashion after being blasted out a window by Darth Sidious' Sith lightning.
%%* GoodIsNotSoft
* HeroesPreferSwords: Mace uses a purple lightsaber.
* InformedAbility: Though WordOfGod has made him out to be a crafty diplomat and politician, his onscreen representations almost exclusively focuses on his life as a warrior.
%%* KnightInSourArmor
* KnightTemplar: Somewhat downplayed as Mace lacks the self-righteousness of many of his counterparts, but he believes in unquestionably upholding the peace of the Republic, even if it means breaking the Jedi Code. Palpatine ends up playing this against him, [[WoundedGazelleGambit making him appear to be a lawless assassin trying to kill a helpless old man]].
* MasterSwordsman: According to WordOfGod, he was Yoda's ''superior'' as a warrior. [[AllThereInTheManual According to other sources]], he's perfected Vapaad, a long incomplete and [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique dangerous]] lightsaber fighting form.
* NumberTwo: To Yoda in the Jedi Order.
%%* OneManArmy: Mace is on par with Yoda in his ability to devastate Separatist infantry singlehandedly, as seen during the Ryloth campaign.
%%* PsychicPowers: Like many of the other Jedi.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His lightsaber is purple, which was requested by Jackson himself.
%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SacrificialLion: He is the first major Jedi to be killed, which sets the stage for the Jedi assassinations that were to follow.
%%* ScaryBlackMan: His implacable nature and fierce disposition are such that, in the Ryloth campaign, Dooku ordered Wat Tambor and his army to retreat rather than face Windu. In "The Disappeared, Part I", he was able to scare off a Frangawl cultist just by looking at him (after taking out the rest of his allies).
* ShatterpointTap: His unique ability is being able to see the shatterpoints of things in the Force. He has only been seen using it once, to break the windshield of broken-down Republic walker and rescue its unconscious driver.
%%* TheStoic: He is a very calm and collected Jedi, and rarely lets any emotion show openly on his face. He has only been seen smiling ''once'' (during an episode of ''The Clone Wars''), and the only time he seems upset is after learning Palpatine is actually Darth Sidious.
* SupportingLeader: During the Jedi assault on the arena of Geonosis in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
* TokenMinority: Sam L. Jackson as Mace may be a example of this, as his character serves as little more than a background character until ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* UnwittingPawn: Mace dies in an attempt first to arrest and then just kill Chancellor Palpatine, which is not only unsuccessful, but also provides Palpatine with ammunition for his claims that the Jedi [[TheDogShotFirst shot first]]. In a double irony, he also ends up making TheChosenOne (Anakin), who he himself had doubts about already, switch his allegiance to the man he attempted to "assassinate".
* WeaponOfChoice: His purple lightsaber, which stands out amongst the blue and green lightsabers all the other Jedi tend to have.

A Cerean Jedi Master who sits on the Jedi Council. He is a skilled warrior and commander.

* AgentScully: Has a history of this. He was extremely skeptical of Qui-Gon Jinn's assertion that the Sith had returned, and dismissed Padme Amidala's claim that Count Dooku was behind the assassination attempt against her. He was also the most vocal in denying the possibility of Yoda's claim about making contact with the dead.
* {{Badass}}: He is regarded as one of the most skilled Jedi in the Order, and manages to even beat and impress Anakin in a BodyCountCompetition.
* BadassBeard: He has a small white beard.
* BadassGrandpa: His age doesn't seem to hamper him too much in battle.
* BodyCountCompetition: After the second Battle of Geonosis, he manages to outscore Anakin and Ahsoka. He takes note of their competition and offhandedly asks what he's won. When Anakin replies that Ki Adi Mundi won his respect, Obi-Wan half-jokingly remarks that it's quite a prize indeed.
* CharacterDeath: When Order 66 is issued, he is shot by his clone troopers after attempting to lead a charge across a bridge on Mygeeto.
* CoolOldGuy: When he heard Anakin denying to acknowledge Ahsoka's victory in the BodyCountCompetition mentioned above, Mundi told Anakin that he out-scored both of them.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Before the Clone Wars, he refused to believe that Count Dooku was capable of falling to the Dark Side.
-->'''Ki-Adi-Mundi:''' He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
* KillItWithFire: Once ordered his troops to use flamethrowers against the Geonosians.
* MyBrainIsBig: : He's a Cerean, a species with very large, elongated cranium that holds binary brain.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "Landing at Point Rain", Anakin and Ahsoka hold a BodyCountCompetition during battle. After the battle, Ahsoka asked for Anakin's total, and it turned out she won. Anakin, however, claimed that since he had called in the airstrike, it should add enough to his tally to make it a draw. Hearing this, Ki-Adi Mundi added his own total, which was larger than either Ahsoka's or Anakin's, causing both Anakin and Obi-Wan to fall into StunnedSilence for a moment as he casually asked what had he won.
-->'''Anakin:''' My everlasting respect, Master Mundi.\\
'''Ki-Adi-Mundi:''' ''*Sounding almost disappointed*'' Oh.\\
'''Obi-Wan:''' ''*Reassuringly*'' That is a gift Anakin rarely bestows, I assure you.
* OhCrap: One of the few Jedi who had a prescient moment about the Jedi Purge. Alas, it was not enough to save him.
* ProperlyParanoid:
** He was the only member of the Council to loudly admit that Dooku was not the BigBad as they had believed, but TheDragon instead, and that someone even more powerful was lurking in the shadows.
** While he was wrong to suspect the Sith were behind the voices Yoda had been hearing, he correctly guessed that the Master-apprentice link between Yoda and Dooku could be exploited by the Sith, which Sidious and Dooku indeed ended up doing at the conclusion of that arc.
* SnowMeansDeath: Killed while he and his troops are fighting a battle in the middle of a snowstorm.

-->''"When you ask for trouble, you should not be surprised when it finds you."''

A Kel Dor Jedi Master and member of the Council, Plo Koon is regarded as one of the wisest Jedi in the Order. He has a close bond and serves as a parental figure for Ahsoka Tano, who he found and brought into the Order as a child.

* AcePilot: He was shown to be a pilot with skills rivaling Anakin's.
* AFatherToHisMen: Plo Koon is very protective of his clone troopers, and is willing to risk his life to save them.
* AffectionateNickname: He often calls Ahsoka "Little 'Soka".
* AscendedExtra: He was a background character in the movies. In the ''The Clone Wars'' he has the most screen-time of all the Council members, except for Obi-Wan, who's one of the {{deuteragonist}}s.
* AuthorAppeal: He is Dave Filoni's [[EnsembleDarkhorse favorite character]].
* {{Badass}}: When he's trapped in space in a non-functional escape-pod, which is about to be dismantled by droids, what does he do? Leaves the pod, protected only by his hide and mask, and deals with the droids personally.
%%* BadassBaritone
* BadassLongRobe: Dons an exceptionally badass one in "Lethal Trackdown".
* BizarreAlienBiology: Apparently Kel'dors like Plo Koon can survive in space for a short time, with only their breathing masks protecting them.
* CharacterDeath: He is killed during Order 66 when his starfighter is shoot down and explodes on Cato Neimoidia by his clone trooper wingmates.
* CoolMask: His breathing mask.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's got his moments, particularly in "Lethal Trackdown" when it comes to Ahsoka's lack of subtlety.
* ExplosiveDecompression: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]. Before leaving a space pod, he ordered his men to put on their helmet and follow him. He didn't need any protection, because he can survive in space long enough to deal with a few droids.
* AFatherToHisMen: When he and three of his men were trapped in a non-functional escape pod, the clones were very pessimistic about their chances to survive, but Plo kept their hope alive by continuously reasserting that their lives weren't meaningless.
* HumanoidAliens: Kel'dors have the general body-structure of a human, but their facial structure is so different that it's noted to be unsettling to other humanoids in-universe, they have only four fingers, and oxygen is toxic to them.
* GenreSavvy: In "Lethal Trackdown", he very well knew he was walking into a trap when he landed on Florrum to meet with Aurra Sing and Boba Fett.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: "Ko-toh-ya" is a Kel'dor greeting that he and Ahsoka use towards each other.
* TheObiWan: Somewhat downplayed, but he is the older mentor figure for Ahsoka. He actually shares this role for her with Obi-Wan himself.
* {{Troll}}: When Plo, Gallia, and Commander Wolfe catch up with 3P0 and R2 aboard Grievous' flagship in "Nomad Droids," this ensues:
-->'''C-3P0:''' Yes, Commander Wolffe. How have you been, sir? We have been on quite an adventure.
-->'''Plo:''' [[BlatantLies Well, I'm certain Wolffe would love to hear about it.]]
-->'''Wolffe:''' Uh, a-actually, sir...
* ParentalSubstitute: He was the Jedi who found Ahsoka, and brought her to the Temple. They maintained a strong bond with each other.
* TheStoic: Most of the time, unless the situation gets very serious. If he ever does smile, it's hidden by his mask. This is best shown "Lethal Trackdown", where he doesn't lose his cool when he has a gun pointed at the back of his head.

* AlienHair: His tentacles.
* {{Badass}}: Takes on Grievous and his four Magnaguards, and escapes unharmed, and even cut off one of the cyborg's hands. That's more than even what Obi-Wan ever managed against the general before ''Revenge of the Sith''.

* TheMentor: To Nahdar Vebb, although the war made it impossible for him to be there when he completed his trials and became a Jedi Knight. When he finally sees Nahdar again, he is disturbed by how aggressive the war has made his former apprentice.
* MrFanservice: In the animated series. He's the only male character to have a completely gratuitous, non-[[JustifiedTrope justifiable]] ShirtlessScene. The directors joked that it was something of a ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' reference.
* PerpetualSmiler: He always seems to have a smile on his face, even when idle. When he does actually smile, it's a very big cheesy grin.
* ShirtlessScene: Let's just say there was a good reason all of Kit's fangirls looked forward to Season 4.

* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: With his last breath, he entrusted his half of the Nexus Route coordinates to Ahsoka.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's roughly twice Yoda's height, which means he reaches to about waist-level for most characters. That doesn't stop him from being as badass as anyone else four times his size.

A venerable if maverick Jedi Master who mentored the Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. Discovering the young Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, he comes to believe the boy to be the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy; it is at his dying request that Anakin is trained to become a Jedi. Following his death, he became one with the Force and communed with Yoda during the Clone Wars.

* {{Ambadassador}}: He and Obi-Wan are sent to negotiate with the Trade Federation at the start of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. He luckily has his lightsaber with him when the Federation prove themselves in no mood for negotiations.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: According to Yoda at the end of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Qui-Gon managed to retain his consciousness and achieve immortality after his death.
%%* {{Badass}}
%%* BadassBeard
* BadassGrandpa: Drafts of the ''Phantom Menace'' script have his age at 60.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a maverick by Jedi standards, preferring to live in the moment rather than to fulfill one's own destiny. His teachings still shape Obi-Wan into a wise and legendary Jedi Knight.
* TheCassandra: His belief that the Sith have returned and that Anakin is TheChosenOne are initially dismissed by the Jedi Council, but [[CassandraTruth turn out to be true]].
* TheChooserOfTheOne: When he meets Anakin and sees what he's capable of, Qui-Gon is convinced he's found TheChosenOne of Jedi prophecy.
* DeadPersonConversation: He appears in front of both Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mortis, and is able to speak to Yoda in "Voices", despite being dead for over a decade. Yoda later convenes with him again around the time of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', and teaches Obi-Wan to do the same between trilogies.
* DecoyProtagonist: Of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. He gets top billing, takes up a sizable amount of space on the poster, and has the most influence and screentime out of the heroes in the movie, but it's all to set up Anakin as the true protagonist.
* EnergyBeing: Because his training to do so wasn't complete, he can't manifest himself as a spirit, but on a planet sufficiently strong in the Force, he can appear as a "flock of light".
%%* FamousLastWords
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Qui-Gon is noted for having much compassion for all living things.
* HonorBeforeReason: Despite the Council's very clear and valid apprehensions towards making Anakin a Jedi, Qui-Gon is as determined as any to see the boy be trained.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How Darth Maul kills him.
* JediMindTrick: Uses this on Boss Nass to save Jar Jar's life and get them a transport to Theed. Later tries (and fails) to do the same on Watto to haggle over a needed starship hyperdrive.
* TheLastDJ: Obi-Wan believes Qui-Gon would've been on the Jedi Council long ago if not for his tendency to do things his own way rather than by the Jedi Code; needless to say, Qui-Gon doesn't seem to mind.
* LastRequest: His is for Obi-Wan to train Anakin in his place after he dies.
* LooksLikeJesus: Even wears robes as part of his Jedi outfit.
* MartialPacifist: He's the epitome of this, especially when his mid-battle meditation contrasted against Darth Maul's animalistic, restless pacing while the two were separated by a forcefield.
* MasterSwordsman: It comes with being an experienced Jedi Master, which lets him fight one-on-one against Darth Maul and his double-bladed lightsaber. His skills only help him for so long, though...
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: His first appearance as a spirit adviser on Mortis was ambiguous enough that Obi-Wan wrote it off as a hallucination of some sort. His second appearance as one to Yoda in the sixth season of ''The Clone Wars'' erases that ambiguity.
* MeditationPowerUp: Does so during one of the gaps in his fight with Darth Maul, thanks to some opportunely closed laser shields.
* TheMentor: To Obi-Wan and Anakin during ''The Phantom Menace''. He becomes the one who teaches Yoda the way of retaining one's identity upon death, and manifesting as a Force-Ghost.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: He, as the mentor in the StudentAndMasterTeam against Darth Maul, does not survive the fight.
* TheObiWan: Notably serves as this to [[TropeNamer the man himself]], no less, as well as to Anakin in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.
* OldMaster: In ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', Qui-Gon is the first maverick master seen on-screen (chronologically), at odds with the Jedi Council but respected nonetheless. He trained Obi-Wan and was the person most accountable for introducing Anakin Skywalker to the way of the Jedi, [[HarsherInHindsight all things considered]].
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Despite his inability to manifest himself under normal circumstances, he was able to appear in front of Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mortis, most likely because the planet was such a strong conduit of the Force.
* ParentalSubstitute: He's served as one to Obi-Wan for as long as they've been training together. Also acts as one to Anakin, who grew up (and was actually [[MysticalPregnancy born]]) without a father.
* PragmaticHero: Being a Jedi doesn't stop him from manipulating Boss Nass into providing a transport to the capital of Naboo, trying to swindle Watto out of a hyperdrive generator, cheating at gambling to free a slave, or subverting the authority of the Jedi Council to ensure that Anakin is trained as a Jedi.
* SacrificialLion: His death at Darth Maul's hands shocks the Jedi into realizing the Sith have returned.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: His tendency to do this has brought him at odds with the other Jedi, respected as he is. The most influential example by far is when he decides to have Anakin trained as a Jedi despite the Council explicitly telling him no.
* SpiritAdvisor: To Obi-Wan and Anakin during the Mortis arc.
* SupportingProtagonist: To Anakin in the long run of the prequels.
* TakeUpMySword: He dies before he has a chance to properly train Anakin, and tells Obi-Wan to take his place.
* TheUnfettered: When Obi-Wan tries to call him out on his more questionable actions, he simply says, "I will do what I must," without hesitation.
* UnintentionalBackupPlan: Qui-Gon's original plan is for Anakin to be trained as a Jedi and bring balance to the Force. This seems to fail when Anakin falls to the dark side. In ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', however, Anakin does bring balance to the Force by ensuring that the last of the evil aspect of the dark side dies with him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His request to have Anakin trained as a Jedi spells doom for the Jedi Order along with the rest of the galaxy. It's not entirely his fault, though; if he lived to train Anakin on his own, things may have turned out differently.
* WeaponOfChoice: His green lightsaber.

It's later revealed that Krell truly is a brilliant strategist: all of his battle plans were ''intended'' to kill as many clones as possible.

* LackOfEmpathy: Even before he's revealed to have been EvilAllAlong and to have fallen to the Dark Side, he takes the "no personal attachments" part of the Jedi code way too far and doesn't even focus on the part about being compassionate, treating the Clones serving under him as expendable.

* CanonImmigrant: A rather interesting one. He was a nameless background character in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', with about five seconds of screen-time, and was not intended to be Jedi. However the EU picked him up, and Lucas liked the comics involving Vos so much that he planned on adding him to ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', but the scene was ultimately cut. He finally appeared in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'', integrating him into the series canon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Resulted in some hilarious SnarkToSnarkCombat when he teamed up with Obi-Wan.
* DynamicEntry: He likes these. When arriving at the Jedi Temple, he didn't wait for his ride to land, he simply jumped down to the platform. And instead of knocking or using his PsychicPowers to open the lock, he entered Mama the Hutt's lair by cutting an "X" in the door with his lightsaber and kicking the pieces in.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Not an actual appearance, but Aayla mentioned him in "Jedi Crash". To make it even more subtle, she referred to him not by the name, just as her Master.
* FacialMarkings: He has a yellow line running across his face, which is a tradition marking done by his people.
