I don't think Anakin counts as a hero for Revenge of the Sith, if anyone, that would be Obi-Wan. And I'm not sure I would even call Anakin a main character in The Phantom Menace, while he is a hero in that movie and important to the plot, the movie has a lot of focus on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as the heroes. Yes, the overarching story for both the original and prequel trilogies is about Skywalkers.

I'd call him the hero of Revenge of the Sith in the same way that Oedipus is the hero of Oedipus Rex, or Hamlet is the hero of hamlet. Tragic heroes, flawed and failing and doomed, but it's their story. If you want to say that Anakin's fall makes him the protagonist rather than the hero, that's fine, but it doesn't make the nearest non-evil character into the hero. Obi-wan is a secondary character. An important one, but not really significant enough to be a deuteragonist, and not the Hero.

Yes, Anakin is the protagonist, a tragic one, but not a hero. The story being about him does not make him the hero. And supporting characters can be the heroes of the story, even if it doesn't happen very often, but in this case I wasn't entirely sure if there was any real hero.

[ninefox]

tbh I just think the word "hero" is pretty flexible colloquially even if it's more specifically contrasted with protagonist in literary analysis, and that the Tragic Hero archetype is very much an applicable one that does go under that name. 'Hero' can be a broader or narrower thing in different contexts. And Anakin is even set up as the Chosen One - that's a very Heroic Marker even though it gets subverted by tragedy and failure.
