(Force 2; replaces attack(s);for the rest of the skirmish, this character gains the following Commander Effect: Followers within 2 squares gain +2 attack and +2 defense)
I don't think, firstly, that he should have Industrial Repair or Repair. I would replace it with Synenergy with someone (maybe Jacen and Jaina, could be something besides the basic +4 attack)
I would change Vongsense to (Characters within 6 squares lose Force Immunity) thats what a lot of other people have done, it would be nice if they were the same.

I thought Anakin Solo was good at repairing things?

he may have been, but was it noticeable enough to put it on his mini? Everything else loks fine, maybe a tad overcosted

he may have been, but was it noticeable enough to put it on his mini? I'd say so. He started tinkering with machines when he was a toddler.

Not bad
This is nit pickey, but he wasnt terribly much better at combat than his older siblings. They were all decent combatants, with Jaina (at least during the YVW) being the best warrior of the 3.
I think that this should be reflected in his base stats, even though the Jaina and Jacen figures are REALLLY outdated. Perhaps make his base stats similar in nature to the twins, but keeping his special abilities the same.

I agree with RS and PW.
On Repair: Although he DID repair stuff as a child, Jaina was a technical savant and master pilot (not reflected on her mini), Jacen had a natural talent for animals (not reflected on his mini), and Han and Luke were two of the best pilots in the Rebellion (again, not reflected on most of their minis!). Not every ability a character has will be on every version, which is why the big heroes give us so many different iterations. They're basically "snapshots." If this is a "snapshot" of "combat Anakin," he doesn't need to demonstrated his repairing prowess, too.

No, it isn't a snapshot. I fit him with every ability that made sense (and seemed somewhat balanced) because this is possibly the only version I'll ever do for Anakin.

You misunderstand me. I wasn't saying THIS mini is a snapshot. I was saying MOST minis are a snapshot. That's part of the basic design philosophy, which I'm pretty sure Rob has discussed in interviews in the past.
So by cramming everything on him that he MIGHT have done in his lifetime, you've basically created a "super-Anakin" who never existed. For example, he doesn't develop his VongSense until long after Chewie is dead, so while VongSense and Affinity for Chewie might both make sense for Anakin, they don't necessarily make sense for the SAME Anakin.
Occassionally, WotC will fudge things a little, but not too often. Even if there will only be one Anakin, it should still be an Anakin that makes sense, so you should figure out WHEN your Anakin is, and stat accordingly.
Right now, for example, there's only one Jaina and I'd judge that it represents her from early on the Vong war, even though she has a career that spans years before and after, with great variety. There's only one Carth, and it represents Carth as a follower, not as a commander (as he could be considered at the beginning of KotOR), or as an admiral (as he is in KotORII). You get the idea.

He didn't develop his VongSense until after Chewie died? I thought it was a genetic thing that he didn't know of until the Vong came along.

Nope. It actually happens pretty late in his career, if I remember correctly. He modifies his lightsaber, replacing the crystal with a Vong "lambent," and is able to use THAT as a focus to sense the Vong.
To be honest, I think the Vongsense might actually have less to do with Anakin, and more to do with his unique lightsaber.
