Unwilling to see his son die, Vader gave his life to save Luke, thereby dying as Anakin Skywalker. Anakin ultimately fulfilled his role as the Chosen One and brought balance to the Force, fulfilling Qui-Gon Jinn's belief in the prophecy that foretold Anakin's destiny.
George Lucas himself has stated that Anakin is the Chosen One and that the prophecy is true, although it had been misinterpreted by the entire Jedi Order. Lucas believes that both the dark side—greed— and the light side—compassion—are integral parts of human beings.
If you're talking about Anakin at the end of the Clone Wars and Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi, then Anakin wins hands down. That is Anakin in his prime. His mastery of the Force was exquisite, his lightsaber technique impeccable.
Luke Skywalker is a fictional character and the protagonist of the original film trilogy of the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas.
In Star Wars' original trilogy, it is revealed that Anakin Skywalker's son, Luke Skywalker, is the the true Chosen One of the galaxy.
So, which competitor claimed the top spot for the most powerful Jedi of all time? Drumroll please... Move aside, Anakin Skywalker. Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience.
Nevertheless, if Anakin really is the Chosen One, then perhaps he was always meant to become Darth Vader and destroy the Jedi Order in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. It's said that the Chosen One would destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force. However, it's unclear exactly when this happens.
If they were both Jedi Knights (meaning they were the same age,23,Anakin: ROTS and Luke: ROTJ) Anakin would definitely win. He had already fought whole armies of battle droids, Count Dooku and Obi-Wan while Luke was able to defeat Vader in return of the Jedi but let's be honest, Vader was most likely holding back.
In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader revealed the shocking truth to Luke; that he was really Anakin Skywalker, Luke's father. It wasn't until Return of the Jedi that Luke told Leia, but interestingly her focus appears to have been more on the fact Luke was her brother than Darth Vader was her father.
In terms of personality, I would say that Luke is more like Padme. It shows especially in Return of the Jedi in Luke's final duel with Darth Vader. Much like Padme, Luke believed that there was good in Anakin still and he did his best to bring that out like she tried to back in Revenge of the Sith.
again… One of the main reasons why Yoda would've won against Anakin is simply because he was far better trained than him. Yoda could see the moves his opponents were going to make before they made them; therefore, battling against Anakin would've put him at a far heavier advantage.
In Star Wars Legends and Canon, Galen Marek (Starkiller) is the only Jedi (other than Obi-Wan Kenobi) to put a beat down on Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Galen was secretly trained as a Sith Lord apprentice to Vader, but returned to the light side and the Jedi.
Evidence for ROTS Anakin > Yoda (in the force)
Sidious then confirms that Anakin is 'far' more powerful. Anakin's quick work of Dooku + Sheev's confirmation immediately make it clear that Anakin is a tier above Dooku power wise when he cuts loose.
You may be looking for Gormo, the Duros captain of Tweigar. N'Kata Del Gormo was a Force-sensitive male Hysalrian Jedi Master who lived during the times of the Galactic Republic. According to legend, he found and trained Yoda and a Force-sensitive Human friend.
Most likely not commonly known by many casual Star Wars is that, at least in Legends, the Sith had their own “chosen one” prophecy and that the central figure in it was believed to have been the Sith Lord, Darth Bane.
Prior to his defeat on Mustafar, Anakin Skywalker was the single most powerful Force user in the known galaxy. In a direct brute Force contest, Anakin Skywalker would sweep the floor with anyone. The ability to use the Force is a powerful edge against any foe, but it isn't everything.
Yoda. Yoda's knowledge of Luke Skywalker's true parentage was also confirmed in Return of the Jedi. As with Obi-Wan, Yoda believed that Anakin's fall to the dark side made him unsalvageable, with the Darth Vader persona being his only identity following his ascension to Sith Lordship.
If you are asking about Vader post-Mustafar, then no, she doesn't. Padmé doesn't seem to know Obi-wan cut off his limbs and left him to burn alive, Obi-wan didn't believe Anakin to be alive and Anakin's surgeries were still happening as Padmé died so there was no way for her to know.
Vader agreed to help the handmaiden, silently recalling the time he spent with Padmé in the process. In this moment, he was once again Anakin Skywalker, a young man in love who simply wanted to change the world for the better.
REY - Stronger Mentality
Unlike Anakin, Rey was able to resist the dark side despite the temptations and her unlikely relationship with Kylo Ren. She was able to see the bigger picture and she didn't let her ego get the best of her, even though she had a lot of talent and skills.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
Originally a slave on Tatooine, Anakin Skywalker is a Jedi prophesied to bring balance to the Force. He is lured to the dark side of the Force by Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) and becomes a Sith Lord, assuming the name of Darth Vader.
He slays Sidious and returns to Obi-Wan, begging for atonement by execution, only to be met with true forgiveness instead. But just as this fantasy Obi-Wan refuses to strike his former friend down, Vader refuses to turn his back on the dark.
The Jedi, with the exception of Obi Wan (and Qui Gon before he died), openly distrusted and even disliked Anakin.
Yes,Yoda knows that anakin betrayed the jedi order even before watching the holograms.
