nowadays, anakin skywalker can be found at his new york restaurant, azure angel. here, amidst the clinking of glasses and the murmurs of the elite, anakin presents himself as a simple businessman with a passion for cars and hell-bent on spreading the taste of his late mother’s cooking. but beneath this façade lies a man known by a different moniker—VADER: the widowed mechanic turned automotive tycoon, restaurateur, UNDERWORLD KINGPIN, ARMS TRAFFICKER, CONTRABAND DEALER, EXTORTIONIST, and COLD-BLOODED MURDERER.

at least, that’s what senator sheev palpatine told him one night over drinks at his estate.  palpatine claimed she had taken matters into her own hands after stumbling upon a trove of evidence linking anakin to multiple illicit activities operating under the law’s radar.  his wife had gone behind his back while he toiled away, struggling to make ends meet and keep the lights on.  padmé didn’t understand the painstaking hurdles anakin jumped for the sake of their future, their future family, but it was fine.  palpatine’s kindness had given him a chance to speak sense to his wife.

all he needed was to talk to her, and she would understand that this wasn't permanent; the jobs palpatine assigned him were merely a means to an end. corruption was synonymous with the modern landscape of politics, a necessary climb up the ladder.  moreover, on top of a promised loan with no interest, palpatine had given his word that if anything were to happen, he would leverage his influence to spare anakin from a life behind bars.

soon, they could leave, move to a new town where anakin could open up an auto shop like he’d always dreamed.

           padmé didn’t listen.  shortly after their heated argument, she went into labor.  then, she died.  doctors stated her death was a quick-onset and unforeseen mortality.  their children survived, but now they had no mother, and anakin had only himself to blame.

distraught, he threw himself into the criminal underworld, no longer wavering in his acceptance of the tasks palpatine assigned him.

months into his new position working as palpatine’s enforcer, anakin’s world shifted when he chanced upon audio recordings revealing palpatine’s indirect admission to murdering his wife.  while padmé’s interference might have cast suspicion on her husband, anakin was never her primary target.  it was palpatine.  she had devised a plan to expose his political corruption and the multitude of illicit enterprises he conducted for personal gain.

it had taken the death of his wife for anakin to finally see palpatine for the monster he truly was.  palpatine had poisoned padmé, nearly killing his children in the process, and viewed anakin as nothing more than a pawn, a scapegoat with equally unclean hands.  anakin swore he would never again be a victim.

senator sheev palpatine went missing on a mundane thursday afternoon.

two weeks after his disappearance, law enforcement discovered a male torso discarded in a ditch precisely 81 meters from the senator’s opulent estate.  dna analysis confirmed the severed body part belonged to sheev palpatine.  investigators speculated the evidence had been deliberately placed.

sheev palpatine’s body was never recovered.

having been sheev palpatine’s close friend for most of his life, then his secret attack dog for the better part of a year, it was no surprise to the public that anakin skywalker emerged as the primary beneficiary of the senator’s estate.  the apparent connection seemed self-evident enough, escaping scrutiny from all but the most skeptical observers.  following a brief public expression of sorrow and an appeal for privacy, anakin skywalker quietly vanished from the public eye.

three months later, skywalker opened up his first auto shop in new york.  within six months, five additional establishments sprang up across different locales in the state.  after securing partnerships with numerous independent car dealerships, skywalker’s enterprise, the 501st, broadened its scope to encompass luxury automobiles, catalyzing a nationwide expansion of the chain business that rapidly spread throughout the united states.
