Anakin Skywalker was a great Jedi Knight who fought for the Republic before the Dark Times. His descent into darkness was brought on by the evil Darth Sidious who would go on to convert Skywalker over to the Dark Side. When that happened, Darth Sidious crowned himself Emperor and named Skywalker 'Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith'.
Sculpted by Gentle Giant's master artisans, this Darth Vader statue recreates the scene from 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' of Lord Vader bowing in devotion to his master, Emperor Palpatine.
