Anakin Skywalker.

The war does the rest. By the time the EP3 shape appears he has been fighting for three years and has settled into Form V, Djem So: the aggressive answer to a defensive form — take the strike, turn it, come back down harder than it arrived. It is a duellist’s philosophy for someone who has stopped believing that patience wins anything, and chapter two is the version of him the galaxy remembers.

Then the turn, which the story never lets him take back. The exposed-crystal builds close the sequence as the visual bridge toward what he becomes — still catalogued as Anakin, still the same hand, still Djem So. Nothing about the way he fights changes on Mustafar. Only what he is willing to do with it.
