Clone Wars & Transition to Darth Vader
Anakin Skywalker, after becoming a Jedi Knight, served as a Jedi General in the Clone Wars. He's respected as the 501st Troop's commander. Despite his position, Anakin is still a reckless and impulsive Jedi Knight. Hence, to give him a sense of responsibility, Yoda appointed him as Ahsoka Tano's master.
During the Clone Wars, Anakin falls in love with Senator Padme Amidala and marries her on her home planet Naboo. By way of the Jedi Order, their love is forbidden. This leads them to keep it a secret. However, this secret relationship strained Anakin's relationship with the Jedi Order. He became disillusioned with the Order.
To make matters worse, Anakin received visions of Padme's death. He became obsessed with saving her, preventing her death in any way he could. His good friend Chancellor Palpatine (who turns out to be Darth Sidious) sensed Anakin's turmoil and manipulated him to the Dark side.
Palpatine suggests that he knows how to cheat death and save Padme. Anakin, desperate for a way to save his wife, fell for the trap. He swore his allegiance to the Sith Lord and was given the name Darth Vader.
Anakin, now Vader, followed orders to purge the Jedi. His betrayal put him in conflict with his wife and mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi. This conflict comes to a head when Obi-Wan and Anakin duel in the lava river.
The loss of this duel and his wife's death solidifies Anakin's resolve to the Dark side. As Vader, he helps Palpatine build the Galactic Empire and sow fear in the galaxy. He went on this journey until he learned about his son, Luke.
With Luke's aid, Vader found some good in him and redeemed himself by killing Emperor Palpatine. This fulfils his prophecy as the Chosen One, bringing balance to the Force.
