Well thats because master is the last rank someone could recieve. Anakin had the most potential of all Jedi including yoda. His skills were enough to overcome Dooku. One of the best lightsaber to lightsaber duelists. Once again at a young age, Mace was at the level of a master, so he was promoted to one. The same should have happened with Ani.
Well as I said, he wasn't trained in a jedi order, he was the only hope of the jedi and the galaxy, they simply could not afford him to do anything else....
Well in that case, AOTC Anakin should be able to kick Darth Vader's ass. Just because he had more potential than Luke doesn't mean he has to get it faster, Luke was already at a later age, maybe his powers had developped more which made him grow stronger faster. Like maturity, everyone doesn't mature at the same time, even if they are related....
But Mace at that age had almost trained 3 times Anakin's traning time, Anakin had still much to learn, maybe not much in fighting but in how to control himself. But this discussion is rather pointless, cause we cannot simply judge one that if he is a knight then he is better than he is as a padawan, it is simply just to show his grading in the jedi order. My point was that Anakin when he defeated Assaj had not yet been promoted to knight and still had much to learn and he sure did during the clone wars. There is a difference between Anakin as a knight and a padawan, and the point was that Anakin did defeat Assaj when he was in the padawan satte, which means this was pretty early in the Clone wars....
And check out the meetings of the council in books or the CW, they discuss about Anakin being promoted and they don't really want to, many say it's to early, other says they shouldn't "hold back the chosen one".
