During the battle, Anakin, who had been known as the Sith Lord Darth Vader, was redeemed by Luke and brought balance to the Force. However, the redemption cost Anakin his life, having been mortally wounded by the Emperor, Darth Sidious, while killing his former Master.
Vader defended the Emperor and he and Luke were locked in mortal combat. Luke lost control of his anger, viciously attacking Vader, finally beating him down and chopping off his hand with his lightsaber.
Darth Vader's death marks the redemption of Anakin Skywalker. As he lay dying, his son, Luke, removes Vader's helmet, revealing the frail and scarred face of the man he once was—Anakin Skywalker. This powerful moment signifies Anakin's return from the dark side and his final act of heroism.
Obi-Wan Kenobi 2022 Final Scene | You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did...
Who killed Yoda?
A year later, in 4 ABY, with his health rapidly declining, Yoda died of old age when Skywalker returned to see him. He became one with the Force, shortly before Luke redeemed his father Anakin, who fulfilled his destiny as the Chosen One by killing Sidious.
Darth Vader's final words were “if you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will”. Anakin Skywalker's final words were: “You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister…you were right”.
He meant that he "killed" that part of him. Anakin as in the jedi, the compassionate, good person he was is nowhere to be found after he turned to the dark side.
Even though Luke tried his best to protect him, Anakin accepted his fate and expressed his love for his son and daughter, Leia, whom he learned about before dying. While it seemed like Anakin had lived a long life, his choices eventually led to his demise at 45.
I did ... the same way I will destroy you!" At that moment, Obi-Wan was right to believe his former apprentice was "truly dead" as Vader himself said that he killed off Anakin and any part of the latter that still existed within him. There was no going back to the light side.
According to Lucas, Vader operated at twenty percent less strength than the Emperor. While this was still impressive, it also shows how much more powerful he could have been as Anakin. Had he emerged unscathed from his duel with Obi-Wan, conquering the galaxy would have happened much faster.
The only Sith Lord who actually killed Vader, Darth Sidious kept his apprentice in line for over two decades. His true advantage was Force lightning, a power which would wreak havoc on the suit keeping him alive.
Obi-Wan allows Vader to strike him down, and, because through the Force the darkness of space cannot claim a victim, his body mysteriously vanishes the moment he dies. At the climax of the film, during the Rebel attack on the Death Star, Obi-Wan speaks to Luke through the Force to help him destroy the battle station.
Their battle was interrupted when Leia used the last of her strength to reach her son in the Force. While Kylo was distracted, Rey ran him through with his own lightsaber, leaving him mortally wounded.
Vader's redemption in Return of the Jedi was not just about saving his son; it was also a defiance of the dark side's corruption and his own past as a Sith Lord. Vader's decision to block Luke from killing Palpatine was motivated by his knowledge that it would corrupt Luke and lead him down a similar path of suffering.
How old was Anakin when Luke and Leia were born? In canon, he was 22 (he was born in 41 BBY, and Luke and Leia were born in 19 BBY). In Legends, accounts vary saying he's either 22 or 23. Interestingly enough, he was around two years younger than Ben Solo was in the TLJ flashback were Luke reads his mind.
Anakin Skywalker was 22 years old in Revenge of the Sith, a crucial moment when he falls to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader. Darth Vader was 44 years old when he confronted Luke on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back, attempting to seduce his son to the dark side.
Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are the same person. They have similar character traits and Vader is just a name like Tyrannus or Sidious. They dont change their personality because of another name, neither does Anakin.
Behind his mask, he squeezed his eyes shut in an effort to hold back the tears that he was physically unable to wipe away. But no tears came. He didn't know whether the surgical droids had altered or removed his tear ducts, and he was beyond caring.
Obi-Wan spared Anakin despite knowing killing him would "burn his heart to ash" and feeling regret for what Anakin could have become. Obi-Wan's decision to spare Anakin was influenced by the dark feeling that accompanied Emperor Palpatine's arrival, preventing him from finishing him off.
What he did not see, at the time at least, was that Padmé used her last breaths to tell Obi-Wan that she was certain that in regards to her husband, "there's still good in him." Now, those words are set to be revealed to someone other than Darth Vader himself.
While the former Jedi Knight's aversion to sand has been a running joke to Star Wars fans for years, Star Wars: Darth Vader #26 added a tragic new dimension to Vader's hatred of seemingly harmless mineral particles by tying it to the all-consuming fear of loss that led him down the path of the Dark Side.
So… I'm going to go with 900 years old. The last words Master Yoda utters to Luke Skywalker before his death in Return of the Jedi were: “There is another Skywalker.”
