From 1999-2005, George Lucas released Episodes I, II, and III of the Star Wars saga.  Although released after the original films, they take place prior to them.  The films tell the story of Anakin Skywalker, from being discovered on Tatooine, his Jedi training, his romance with Padme Amidala, role in the Clone Wars, and ultimately, how he becomes Darth Vader.  The films have been met with mixed reaction.  Out of the three, ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'', is generally considered the best of the prequels.
