NJO LUKE vs ROTS ANAKIN

We were discussing that the Yoda-species and Yda himself was very powerful becuz of his potential and because their species could live SO long that they become more and more powerful and experienced with time... It is obvious that even with Yoda's potential, he is far more powerful when he's 800 yrs than when hes 100

He meant the age part, Yodas species van reach 900 years, thats so many more years of training and learning and advancing, improving... new techniques and lightsaber styles.

Why is this even a topic? NJO Luke wtfpwns Anakin.

but he still can ONLY reach HIS potential. Time has little to do with it. If his FP is half of Anakin's he could outlive him by 500 years, and still only be half of Anakin (at his respective FP). Although i can see what you're saying kind of...

But in time, you can still improved tour skills, ad something new, or invent some new technique, like Mace did, he was probably a master of a form before he used Vapaad, but when he invented Vapaad and mastered it, he got better on a completely different level.

Well then i guess potential has nothing to do with it then. Look, everything anyone does is capped by THEIR POTENTIAL. If your saber skill potential is low, then it doesn't matter how long you practice, you will never go beyond what your potential allows. Anakin did create another form kind of. He made his custom form to suit his needs while in his Vader suit. All i'm saying is once you reach your potential, whether its in the force or in saber skills, your done.

But Dooku as a Jedi Master reached his full potential, but when he become Sith, they all said how much more powerful he has become.

only through techniques, not necessaily overall power. Where did it say that he reached his FP?

No, i never said you said it, i just mean he was old for his species and he still become more powerful and how can you reach full potential in techniques and not reach FP, isn't it logical that if you didn't reach your FP, that your techniques can become better to.

He mean where does it said that Dooku has reached his FP.

I know what he meant, i just assumed that he was close to his FP, i could be wrong, maybe if he lived as long as Yoda he could become allot better, but his age restricted him , how much better could he get.
He would only get weaker after of couple of years, Yoda did.

Yoda FP>Dooku FP

I never said that Dooku is better.

yes living longer will help you reach your FP, but living long after you've already reached that point won't help you any more. Age never affected Dooku's performance. And if he became more powerful as a Sith, then he never reached his full potential through his Jedi career. I didn't say you could reach your FP in techniques and not reach your FP. What i said was, once you reach your full potential, you're done. You may learn a new force power or different saber form, but your power does not increase. If Tito Ortiz's FP is benching 400 lbs, him learning a new submission won't make him be able to bench any more than what his max is. Learning all those techniques will make him a better fighter, but his power will remain the same, even if he lived to 150.

OK, i agre with you but you did say.

only through techniques, not necessaily overall power.

exactly, techniques might make you a bigger threat to opponents, but it doesn't increase your power.

Oh, ok.

so, your German is on point huh? 😛

I always cheated in German, when we had tests, so i never gave attention in classes. German wasnt the problem for me, Math was, still is.
