The issue with Anakin is that he'd have a pilot card for two different ships (N-1 and Eta-2) with different stats and pilot skill and you wouldn't be able to use Darth Vader, meaning an exepption to the unique name rule. The game already allows us to field impossibles squadrons with pilots from differents points in time. Biggs died in Episode 4, how could he be tanking damage for Dameron who's from episode 7 ? and what about Imperial Bobba Fett VS Scum Bobba Fett ? or mirror match ? On that base, what would be the difference with having a young, lighter, Anakin and an older, darker, Anakin ? And if that could really annoys peoples, let's them just put young Anakin as a Rebel sided pilot, just like Bobba Fett is sided with Imprials or Scum depending off where from the time line we look at him. Really, I see no issues the game isn't already dealing with. The timeline is not the issue. The issue is that you can't field two cards with the same unique name (noted by the dot in the card name) in the same game, regardless of the type of the card. Boba Fett has the same stats for one ship. Young Anakin would fly the N-1 and as a younger version of the greatest pilot in the galaxy, he will have a lower PS than his older self, flying the ETA-2. And regardless of sides, neither version of Anakin would be able to fly with Darth Vader, thus FFG must make a new rule clearly stating this.

Also Boba Fett is Imperial because he fought for and was paid by the Empire. And at the point of the ships release, there were only two factions. He was never anything but a bounty hunter. And he balanced well with the YT-2400 (I think). Then the new S&V faction appeared and to easily make players field a 100p squad from this faction, FFG released Most Wanted which allowed players to use ships, they already owned. And since Boba Fett is a bounty hunter he's is a natural part of this faction. And in the same ship with the same stats.
