I understand many of you think Anakin's generally more powerful. But are there after factors and talents from his opponent to circumvent this?

Sidious wrecks him psychologically; mentions Padme's inevitable death, his mother and the Sand People etc. Anakin gets stomped.

Yes this.

Sidious knows he needs that psychological hold over the most powerful Jedi ever

It's not just Sidious who can do this. Gillard's on record stating that the mental fight is just as important as actual lightsaber moves, so he may be more powerful than Sheev, but he can't focus/use much of it. Anakin is basically Kenobi level because he hinders himself

This is all I see in your posts.

What's the point of having all that power, if you can only use a fraction of it because you're a basket case?

Anakin.

Sidious rather handily

nobody seriously thinks anakin is sidious's peer

if an author tried to write a story where anakin did byss, the story group would probably go "wait wtf anakin can't do that lol"

Sidious.

Anakin does not win. That is for sure.

Because Lucas' statements apply to the Extended Universe - some believe. But it is obvious that even the film books are meant to be part of George's canon.

Sidious wins every time, not only is Anakin emotionally unstable but he hasn't nearly tapped into his potential enough to actually beat the Emperor in a straight up fight. The Chosen One the boy may be, but his future in this fight is clouded

experience >>>> untapped potential

Anakin is the definition of plot device and plot force.

Who is a Force conceived sob with no expressed potential?

Rey has as much potential as Kathleen Kennedy needs her to.

At least she is not turned into a god that cannot do pulp.

Put the boy out of his misery, Lord Sidious does. To compete with the Emperor, Yoda or Master Windu you have to be.

I don't even think Windu has much of a chance actually winning against the emperor, not in the force anyway.
