Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd)’s Timeline and Summary

  • Anakin meets Qui-Gon, Padmé, and Jar Jar while minding the counter in Watto's parts shop.
  • Later, he saves Jar Jar from a run-in with Sebulba. Untaught in the ways of stranger danger, he invites the offworlders to his house for a meal and safety.
  • Anakin agrees to race in the Boonta Eve podrace to help Qui-Gon get the money he needs for the hyperdrive parts.
  • He wins the podrace.
  • Thanks to Qui-Gon's gambling problem, Anakin also wins his freedom. Although sad to leave his mother and fearing he won't see her again, he agrees to go with Qui-Gon and learn the ways of the Force.
  • En route to Coruscant, Anakin gives Padmé a charm to remember him.
  • Anakin goes before the Jedi Council to be tested. The masters sense much fear in him.
  • The Jedi Council says that Anakin is not to be trained. When Qui-Gon says he'll train Anakin anyway, the council puts a pin in the matter.
  • Having no plans for the weekend, Anakin returns to Naboo with the others.
  • During the palace siege, Anakin hides in a Naboo fighter.
  • Seeing Padmé in danger, he starts the fighter and blasts some droidakas. But the autopilot kicks in and takes Anakin to the droid battle station dogfight in orbit.
  • Anakin crash-lands inside the droid battle station. He manages to reactivate the fighter's systems and fires torpedoes into the station's core.
  • He escapes while the station explodes around him.
  • After the Battle for Naboo, Anakin attends Qui-Gon's funeral, where Obi-Wan tells him he'll train him in the ways of the Force.
