If EA Added Anakin...
Would people want him on the light side, or the dark side? Either way would be really cool. Although Vader is in the game, there are two millennium falcons in starfighter assault, so... Fighting WI...
Anakin Skywalker would be a light side hero. He's generally considered an agile and powerful but somewhat reckless light saber focused Jedi. You'd expect him to have dash attacks and a powerful melee strike, possibly one that uses some of his own hp to perform, gives him a debuff, or has a long recovery animation. At any rate you'd expect Anakin to have a completely offensively tooled kit and have no defensively focused abilities, making his play-style distinctly different than Luke who is more defensively tuned.
Darth Vader is obviously a darkside villain. He's generally considered a tanky, slow for a force user, but powerful and of course light saber throw and force choke are his signature moves.
Vader has a different body type than Anakin, a different fighting style, and obviously a different take on the force.
Despite there being a brief transitional time where Anakin becomes Vader, the two are typically considered two different characters. If they just gave Vader an Anakin skin rather than making Anakin a completely separate hero it would disappoint a lot of fans. If you had Anakin moving and fighting like Vader it would just look terrible to be honest.
