Luke because hes black
ok Jokes aside.
Id say luke because he knows everything in the lightside, anakin would only use what ever he has to his full potential. Luke knows alot more,
Unless we are talking about Anakin by the time of the OT where he looks like sebastian shaw then id say anakin because by then he would have mastered the dark side

stalemate. but if there has to be a winner, I'd say anakin just cause i think his over all connection to the force is greater, he was born of the force, Luke was born of flesh...well thats my rational.
And KAdesh, wtf are you talking about?! lol. If Anakin reached his full potential, he'd know just as much as luke, maybe more. No one said Vader or darkside Anakin.
I disagree. Anakin reaching his full potential =/= Anakin learning new techniques or mastering the Force or knowing more. Reaching his full potential could simply mean reaching his full possible power. Power is nearly useless if you can't properly implement it.
But someone has to win sometime, though since we don't know, we might as well say it's 50/50 for one to win, which pretty much makes it a stalemate anyway.
But the same potential doesn't mean they must be as good as eachother. They wouldn't have experienced the same kinds of things....

i really don't want to get into the whole argument of what full potential is, but i will say that FULL potential is every aspect of one being maxed out. Lightsaber skill, force knowledge, force power, combination of all. Its been said that Anakin at full potential would have been the greatest force user ever. Period.And if you don't know how to use power, then you don't have any real power.
Full potential Anakin would take down LOTF Luke with ease. Well, maybe not ease, but he'd definately win. Anakin had higher potiential than Luke and Luke still hasn't reached his potential by LOTF. He's much weaker than a FP Anakin would be.

No, Lucas did not. People are misinterpreting that statement, and twisting it around. I've debated this numerous times, and the quote they are referring to does not indicate that Luke is equal to Anakin, both at their full potential.
All the quote is saying is that Luke could become either: the most powerful ever, or just simply the most powerful Jedi. Lucas says "Anakin wasn't what he was suppose to become - but the son could become that", that is not attesting to equal potential.

Subject, reaching your full potential [in the force] is simply mastering the force to the best of your innate ability, that's all. There are lots of other things to consider such as knowledge, alignment, fighting mentality etc.
For example, by ROTS, Yoda has reached his full potential in the force, however that's not to say that he wouldn't be more powerful with the force if he knew more abilities (such as force blocking, Fallanasi techniques etc.), or if he were a darksider (more devastating attacks, no lightside limitations etc., Count Dooku for one believed that Yoda would be able to take out ROTS Sidious in a heartbeat if he were a darksider).
And let's not forget the fact that this is full potential in the force, which says nothing about other skills such as lightsaber ability.

Well anakin has alot of raw power, and raw power does not equal you to win by default, FPA is an unknown, we have no idea what he would do, its the same with ragnos, we know he is powerful but we dont know how powerful or what can he do, same applies to FPA

full potential means just that FULL POTENTIAL...full potential as a duelist, full potential as a master of the force. Anakin would be untouchable. And if Luke is the most powerful now and cant be beat, and if Anakin was meant to be better then him, then guess what, he would be beaten either. If he had the best force mastery, but sucked as a duelist, then he wouldn't be the best, cause he could be beaten. Why is it that you try to argue with everything anyone says? No matter what is said? Whatever, if your full potential is to be the BEST, then that includes every possible aspect.
Advent, my bad for the misunderstanding, i wasn't trying to twist it around at all. That's what i got out of it, Anakin was meant to be THIS, he didn't do it, but Luke did become THIS. Thats how i saw it.
No, it doesn't. Full Potential doesn't mean he's maxed everything out. His "full potential" is a reference to power. Not ability, not skill, not knowledge. Power.
