Who Is Anakin Skywalker?
Anakin Skywalker is the protagonist of the Star Wars prequel trilogy (Episodes I-III). Introduced as a slave boy on Tatooine, he trains as a Padawan under the Jedi Council, becomes a Jedi Knight through the Clone Wars, and ultimately gives in to the temptation of the Sith and falls into Darth Vader, a tragic arc all the way through. In LEGO form he debuted in the 1999 Episode I sets, and his design has been updated ever since for each stage of his life (Boy, Padawan, Jedi Knight, and the Mustafar duel). Note that Darth Vader (post-fall) is treated as a separate character in the LEGO catalog, so this article focuses on the prequel-era Anakin Skywalker.
Anakin Skywalker Has Multiple Minifigures: Variant List
In the Brickset and BrickLink catalogs, there are more than 20 LEGO Anakin Skywalker minifigures spanning 1999 to 2025. The defining trait is that the design changes substantially across his four life stages: Boy, Padawan, Jedi Knight, and the Mustafar duel. Here we narrow it down to 10 representative categories and lay out the key tells. On BrickLink, variant IDs are tracked under serial numbers like “sw00XX” and “sw0XXX,” so it helps to keep those in mind as a reference for telling them apart.
| Variant ID | Common Name | Debut Year | How to Identify | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sw0008 | Boy / Pilot (light gray cap) | 1999 | Yellow head, light gray aviator cap with dark gray goggles, brown tunic print. The original EP1 version | Medium (in several sets) |
| unknown | Boy / Pilot (brown cap) | 1999 | Same mold as sw0008, but with a brown cap and black goggles. Exclusive to #7141 | High (exclusive to #7141) |

| unknown | Jedi Knight / Mustafar duel (scorched) | 2020 | Scorched head print and clothing, dual-color lightsaber. Exclusive to #75269 | High (special mold exclusive to #75269) |
Beyond these, there are the 2018-2020 Jedi Knight versions, the latest 2022-2025 remakes, and Clone Wars-style animated derivatives, for a total of about 20 variants confirmed on Brickset. For some variants we couldn’t pin down the official BrickLink variant ID in this round of research, so those are left as “unknown” in the table above. When you log them in your collection ledger, compare them against the photos on the relevant Brickset or BrickLink page.

A selection of the major sets, the list above is, so the full set count on Brickset it does not match. The “unknown” and “(to be confirmed)” rows, spots that Figrou has not been able to verify yet are they, so as a rough guide treat them you must. A set number that catches your eye, if there is — search it directly on Brickset, BrickLink, or BrickEconomy, you should, and the exact minifigures included you will find.
Anakin’s sets concentrate on recreating scenes from Episodes I-III. The Padawan stage in particular runs along two parallel lines, Clone Wars TV (sw0183/sw0317) and film-accurate (sw0099/sw0488), and that split is the key to telling them apart.
First, Latest, Rarest, Cheapest: Buying an Anakin Skywalker Minifigure
The First Anakin Skywalker
The LEGO Anakin Skywalker minifigure first appeared in the 1999 #7131 Anakin’s Podracer, as variant sw0008 (Boy / light gray cap). That same year, sw0008 was also shared across #7159 Star Wars Podracing Bucket and #7171 Mos Espa Podrace, helping recreate the Episode I podrace scene.
The Latest Anakin Skywalker
The most recent Anakin appears in the 2024 #75383 Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator. It’s a 25th anniversary EP1 remake, with the Boy / remold v4 included, and the set also features Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul.
The Rarest Anakin Skywalker
The one collectors watch most closely is the Mustafar duel / scorched version included in the 2020 limited-run #75269 Duel on Mustafar. It’s defined by its scorched head print, clothing, and dual-color lightsaber, and no later set has reproduced this mold so far. The next most sought-after is the Boy / brown cap version, exclusive to the 1999 #7141.
The Most Affordable Anakin Skywalker
The cheapest option is hard to call since market prices are always shifting, but among current products, the relatively easy one to find is the Boy / remold v4 included with the 2024 #75383 Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator. For specific prices, check the official store or the secondary market (such as BrickLink) as you go.
Related Minifigures to Collect Alongside Anakin Skywalker
Some co-star minifigures that pair well with Anakin, here they are. To recreate the world of the prequel trilogy (Episodes I-III) in a diorama if you wish, rounding up the Jedi Council crew and the Sith crew together I recommend, so a look give it you should, mmm.
Anakin Skywalker shares the screen with many of the prequel trilogy’s (Episodes I-III) main characters, so collecting the related minifigures makes it easier to recreate dioramas of the podrace, the Clone Wars, the Mustafar duel, and more. Here are the co-stars that often appear in the same sets as him.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin’s master (after Qui-Gon’s death). He frequently co-stars in EP2-3 sets and in #75269 Duel on Mustafar.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: The Jedi Master who discovered Anakin. He appears alongside Anakin in #7171 Mos Espa Podrace and #75383 Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator.
- Padme Amidala: The heroine of Episodes I-III and Anakin’s wife. She co-stars in many EP2-3 sets, a staple for expanding the scope of a diorama.
- Mace Windu: A member of the Jedi Council. He appears alongside Anakin in some EP3 sets.
- Darth Maul: The Sith Lord of Episode I. He’s included in #7171 and #75383.
- Ahsoka Tano: Anakin’s apprentice in the Clone Wars TV series. She co-stars across the Clone Wars set lineup.
- C-3PO: The protocol droid Anakin is said to have built. He co-stars in a handful of EP2-3 sets.
FAQ: Anakin Skywalker Minifigures
Q. How many LEGO Anakin Skywalker minifigures are there?
A. By Brickset’s count, there are more than 20 variants spanning 1999 to 2025. The design changes substantially across his four life stages, Boy, Padawan, Jedi Knight, and the Mustafar duel, so this article narrows it down to 10 representative categories and lays out the key tells.
Q. Which set has the scorched Mustafar-duel Anakin?
A. It’s an exclusive in the 2020 #75269 Duel on Mustafar. It’s defined by its scorched head print and dual-color lightsaber, and no later set has reproduced this mold so far. If you want to recreate the Mustafar showdown from EP3, securing this set is a must.
Q. Is Darth Vader included?
A. In the LEGO catalog, Darth Vader is classified as a separate character from Anakin Skywalker, so he isn’t included in this article. Vader’s variants and set list are planned as a separate article.
Q. Is the Young Anakin in the 2024 #75383 rare?
A. It includes the Boy / remold v4, remolded as a 25th anniversary remake in 2024. Since it’s a current product, supply is still plentiful and it’s relatively easy to get right now. Whether it becomes rare depends on how distribution goes from here.
Q. How do you tell the Padawan and Boy minifigures apart?
A. The Boy version is marked by a yellow head and an aviator cap (light gray or brown), and appears in podrace-related sets. The Padawan version is identified by a dark brown hair piece, a Jedi tunic print, and a Padawan braid print near the right shoulder of the torso (a thin brown vertical line). On top of that, the Padawan stage splits into two lines: film-accurate EP2 (sw0099/sw0488) and Clone Wars TV animation (sw0183/sw0317).
