Background Story
Behind the Name records the meaning of Anakin as unknown. The name belongs to the Star Wars character Anakin Skywalker, later known as Darth Vader, created by George Lucas, and is not spoken until the third film, The Return of the Jedi (1983), though it was later dubbed into a rerelease of the second. Lucas has denied basing it on the surname of his friend and fellow director Ken Annakin, and Anakin is also a variant of the surname Annakin.
