Why wouldn’t you include mental character as part of your performance? It matters quite a lot in competitive sports, but what do i know I didn’t watch star wars
You’ve just signaled you don’t understand Star Wars’ plot, prepare for a deluge of explanations.
In short, Anakin was emotionally unstable during his battle against Obi-Wan. Under normal circumstances, he’d wipe the floor with his master. In the making of accounts and Star War History books, both George Lucas and Nick Gillard (choreographer for all fights before Disneyfication) confirm that Anakin was an equal to Yoda and Sidious at the end of RotS, far surpassing Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
As a fun aside, in the animated series The Clone Wars, we get a glimpse at Anakin’s full potential - the ability to control all of the force at once, even swapping day for night on a whim.
Mace windu was actually strong as fuck though. Like he genuinely bested sidious in saber combat. It wasn’t an act.
The advantage of Vaapad, using Sidious own dark side powers against him.
I read once that obi wan and anakin were so used to sparring together that the difference in power didn’t matter.
It certainly did matter, as seen in their final (RotS) duel; Obi-Wan is on his back foot, running the entire time. It’s true that they had sparred so much, they could predict each other’s movements as if it was telepathy, though.
Anakin was emotionally unstable during his battle against Obi-Wan
Surely being emotionally unstable is a major sign of a bad Jedi. Obi-wan had as much reason to be emotionally unstable but maintained control and won the day, thus is the stronger Jedi.
That doesn’t follow at all. At that point Anakin had already abandoned the Jedi Order, he was just learning how to tap into the Dark Side, and even then Obi-Wan was kept on his back foot for the entire time, until Anakin decided that killing his master with a move created by him was a good idea.
Yeah they mean his power comes mostly from anger and anger is a dark side power so not a Jedi. He could have been the most powerful grey Jedi of all time but he will not ever be the most powerful light Jedi.
Not to mention being so easily manipulated into turning and then immediately diving in to his new role to the point of killing younglings and force choking his wife. He was very weak mentally and incredibly immature. He was powerful but wasn’t a master for a very good reason.
On the other hand, he didn’t get two of his limbs chopped off and end up thrown into a pit of lava a short time later, requiring him to spend the rest of his life in an armored suit. So maybe the incest was worth it?
That just activated a long supressed and forgotten part of gaming history. At one point in Final Fantasy XI, you could get a really powerful sword from a dragon. Someone once asked "Would you fuck your sister for a Ridill". Not everyone said no... I might be getting the phrasing of the question wrong since it was 10+ years ago. I tried googling but nothing came up.
I could be wrong, but I read someone else’s comment years ago that said the suit was like that on purpose and it was a way for the emperor to control him or something.
Anyway, that might not even be canon even if it’s in some book or game.
It’s canon. The suit was purposefully made in a very flawed way, so that Vader would have a difficult time winning a battle against Sidious. Even in his crippled state, Vader was a major threat. Also, it’s not entirely clear why it happens in-universe, but Vader’s burnt body was supposed to heal over time, yet it never did - not until Luke brought back a spark of goodness in his heart.
If only. It was completely taken over by the empire. Darth Vader's throne is built on Mustafar and the planet was used as a mass grave for the dead from the Great Jedi Purge, as well as serving as the location in which Inquisitors were created, specifically taking force sensitive infants and training them there. It was also used to replace the cloning facility lost on Kamino. A bit after all this Vader is given the planet and connects with a Sith Ghost who helps him build a temple to harness the unique force energies from Mustafar to (edit) try (end edit) bring Padme back to life.
Most of this happens in the Darth Vader comics, however Mustafar does show up again in an arc of Rebels.
(I know this is just meme I just thought it was interesting that there was a fair amount of importance for Mustafar and was used surprisingly well for canon development. We just didn't get to see any of it in animation/live action)
