Ching, care to back up why Krayt can match Anakin's strength and speed? If one takes the RotS novel's narration, which labels Anakin as the fastest and strongest in the galaxy, I'd imagine it'd be difficult to place Krayt on such a level.

Well we know that isn't true because he can't speedblitz 2 Jedi masters at the speed of light. Amped Mace is also faster, as is Yoda.

Certainly, Krayt is more experienced, but Anakin's innate aptitude with a lightsaber unquestionably exceeds his.

Reborn Krayt is far, far more powerful than he was on Tatooine.

You mean in a fight that had more circumstances than lightsaber moves? Hett vs Obi-Wan was also filled with circumstances - in Hett's favor.

Anakin's confirmed, repeatedly, to be better than Obi-Wan as a swordsman. He's an entire tier above his master - a tier being the gap between TPM Kenobi and RotS Obi-Wan.

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.

"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."

"Anakin's style has changed completely between Episode II and Episode III. He now no longer cares. He knows he's unbeatable. He's far more dangerous than anybody in the universe."

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.
-- Revenge of the Sith

quote:

He did not think about how long it had been since he had last used his lightsaber in combat. Nor did consider that he was older than Hett by at least a decade, or Hett's considerable skills with his own weapons, and that the Tusken was far more experienced at fighting in the desert.
