Anakin in the movies and legends should be given a lot more credit than people think. Anakin even as far back as ATOC is stronger than most people think the people who worked on the films made sure to put Anakin as front and center as one of the strongest jedi the order has to offer. For example, Obi-wan is literally mocked by Dooku and said to be a disappointment yet people fail to realize and pay attention to the fact that Dooku never says anything like that to Anakin in their fight. This is how Dooku looks after their fight
Does that look like the face of someone who had an easy time against their opponent and had no trouble? I don't think so. Now lets add more stuff to suggest Anakin is no joke
When asked who would win in a fight -- Ray Park’s Darth Maul or Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker -- Gillard had no hesitation. "Hayden would cream Darth Maul."

Here Nick Gillard said with no hesitation that Anakin in ATOC would "cream" Maul not beat him not that it would be close but low diff him. Anakin grows significantly stronger than this(well he would if it weren't for TCW) to the point where becomes stronger than any jedi in the jedi order
This is Anakin Skywalker:
The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior. On the ground, in the air or sea or space, there is no one even close. He has not just power, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace.
He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it.

Gillard also reports that the duel will explain how Obi-Wan is able to defeat his protege, even though Anakin has been established as the most powerful Jedi who ever lived.

At nine years of age he had been an expert Podracer; by twenty-one he would have been a galactic champion. With or without Qui-Gon's or Watto's help, he would eventually have won the Boonta Eve race, and his reputation would have been made. He would have bought freedom for himself, his mother, all the slaves in Mos Espa, gone on to win the Grand Races on Malastare, been hailed in the gambling casinos on Ord Mantell and Coruscant. He wouldn't have become a Jedi--he would have been too old to train--would never have learned to wield a lightsaber. But he would have been able to fly rings around the finest of Jedi pilots, including Saesee Tiin.
And he still would have been stronger in the Force than any of them.

"Skywalker is arguably the most powerful Jedi alive, and he is still getting stronger."

I’m more powerful than any of you.
It was a boy’s expression of anger, but it was true.

Even one quote in junior novel from Yoda's perspective says Anakin was the strongest and someone asked about it to the author and the author went out of his way to say yes he meant to include Yoda in that statement and that George *made* *sure* Anakin was the strongest jedi. So if an author went out of his way to say "Yeah Anakin is the strongest the creator himself made sure to make that clear." Why do people still question these quotes?
Some people i have seen to act say "Oh Dooku was told to hold back on Anakin in ROTS that means he is a lot stronger and would win their fight if they fought for real" yet people also fail to realize that was the original plan up until Anakin and Obi-wan went all out and Dooku stopped holding back because if he didn't he would be dead. Even then we have quotes saying Anakin is stronger than Dooku

Sidious then turned his attention to Anakin Skywalker, knowing that young Skywalker was much stronger in the Force than Tyranus.

Sidious bared his teeth, but only briefly. "Darth Tyranus knew what he risked, Lord Vader. If he had been stronger in the dark side, you would be dead, and he would be my right hand."

Sidious is merely playing for time until he is ready to replace Tyranus with a new, more powerful apprentice, who will help him to achieve his ultimate aim: utter subjugation of the galaxy under Sith rule and the formation of a merciless new order — the Galactic Empire.

Also before anyone mentions this Obi-wan as much as i like him did not beat a prime Anakin. They make it quite clear Anakin is above Obi-wan under normal circumstance
"When I started, I figured that a youngling is a level one. And somebody like Kit Fisto - seven. I did take it to eight and nine, but not many people know that. Eight and nine is cheat. So Obi-Wan is eight. Yoda is nine. Mace is eight, bordering on nine. Anakin is nine."

"Yes, but it's like a Richter scale - an earthquake - and so the difference between seven and eight and eight and nine is enormous."

"Obi-Wan has gone up one level from Episode I to Episode III, but it’s a huge jump from one level to another. It’s not just about a style of fighting—it’s mental as well. Anakin has gone up probably four levels from Episode II to Episode III. So he’s gone beyond Obi-Wan, but he hasn’t gone beyond him mentally."

The ease with which Kenobi had taken command of the situation was frightening. More frightening was the fact that of the two, Skywalker was reportedly the greater warrior.

He had been a superior fighter even when he had been Anakin Skywalker, and yet Obi-Wan had defeated him.
Source: Death Star
So why did Obi-wan win? Well its because Anakin was vulnerable
Anakin had still been between worlds then, and vulnerable.
Source: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader
Now even then Obi-wan admits he is going to lose if it weren't for the high ground
As Anakin’s lightsaber hummed toward him, a calm certainty filled Obi-Wan. Anakin was going to kill him. Oh, he’d make Anakin work for it. He’d fight with everything he had. But he was positive, with the sureness that came from any Force-driven insight, that he would die at Anakin’s hands.

So yeah Anakin is one of the top tiers in SW not much else to say
Here is the thing Dooku's right the Jedi order more than once helped the slavers not the slaves for example: the Huk attacked and was brutally slaughtering and enslaving the Kaleesh by the millions and when the Kaleeh fought back the Huk appealed to the Senate and the Senate sent out the Jedi to slaughter the Kaleesh and then the Senate sent the planet to economic dissaray on a whim no questions asked, no checking if the Huk's story was true, the Jedi did not try to sense the deceit,the Jedi did not do anything but be sent out to slaughter lowballing hundreds of people and make a planet submit easily they can do that to almost anyone. That is the power the Jedi and Senate have on the Galaxy the ability to tear a planet asunde with barely any effort if they so pleased. Many planets or civilizations were beaten to submission by the Jedi despite only being 10,000 and most planets have military forces so they don't need help to keep those planets in check.
Your telling me that the Jedi can't do the same on a crime lord that they did in the past?
The Jedi on more than one occasion have gone to war with at least half a galaxy just for simple acts look at the Clone Wars not to mention the Jedi on more than one occassion deciding to make sure the Sith to no longer be a threat commited genocide twice you call that more complicated then freeing slaves? Sure the crime lords will rebel so what? The Jedi have dealt with it over and over again so it won't change now and the Jedi have no qualms of risking their own like for example in Geonosis semt two hundred jedi to save 3 people. I am not saying the Jedi are bad but the fact is the Jedi have fought for far less to ever say they are not willing to fight for slavery
Didn’t think I’d find myself agreeing with Count Dooku but here I am.
Not today (she’s recording)
I have headcanon that Anakin told Padme at one point about the angels he met in Iego. And she playfully asks if they are the most beautiful creatures in the galaxy he answers truthfully that the legend was exaggerating and she was far more beautiful compared to them.
Another dumb thing i just realized about Luke dying in TLJ um we know Luke and Leia basically have the attributes of Anakin like his potential and power right? So they have to have the bodies in order to contain that power like before TLJ Luke is never implied to be feeling tired or in pain by using his power or is never work to over train himself or he might get hurt or die and even proclaimed by Obi-wan to be the chosen one suggesting he can reach Anakin's potential. So based on this we can presume Luke has Anakin's durability in terms of using force powers a lot and using a lot of energy. So why did Anakin was capable of using a godly amount of energy to over power to godly beings like the son and daughter and still live without any drawbacks yet Luke died from just projecting himself with the force across a few solar systems in a projection that minus well be a hologram in terms of how little it does? Like Anakin should technically not have as much durability as Luke does to handle that considering he was going to unlock his full potential most likely later in life as he is implied to be nowhere near Palpatine in canon. The more i think of the sequels the more angry i get.
I need this in my life
Let us appreciate how adorable Luke is in the Star Wars manga.

“anakin and padme’s relationship was 100% perfect and healthy right up until he choked her on mustafar” is a hot take that i did not expect to find in fandom and now i’m going to have to take valuable hours out of my day to write a 10,000 word rebuttal just because someone had the audacity to say so on one of my posts
